Not to sound offensive (on a hip-hop website, even!), but probably the best thing that can come of this morning's murder of Byrd Gang rapper Stack Bundles is that it finally brings Cam'ron back off vacation.
I mean, at the very least I would imagine the media is going to want some sort of comment from Cam re: how great a rapper/bag handler Stack Bundles was, and whether or not the people who killed him are the same people who ****ed his face up a few weeks ago. You know how the media loves to put one and two together.
The thing is, we haven't heard from Cam at all since he put out his infamous "get my ****ing pool in the back video" a few weeks ago. He seemed to sort of disappear after Tru Life kicked his ass outside of a nightclub as if he was Uncle Murder, and it was speculated (albeit by Cam rival Fiddy Cent) that he had gone into hiding, lest both of his eyes end up all swolen.
Now that a member of his crew has been gunned down in New York, I'm sure there's gonna be speculation that the real reason Cam'ron has spent the past month or so working on his tan in the world's ****tiest timeshare is because he feared that had he remained in town, he would've met the same fate as Stack Bundles.
I'm not saying I know for certain whether or not that's the case, but at the very least, I'd say there's some issues that need to be cleared up. The NYPD may even want Cam to come in and explain Stack Bundles true role in Dipset as well as ID the perp, not unlike how Fat Joe had to do down in Florida recently.
Once all that is sorted out, you'd think this would be as good a time as any to get Cam's recording career back on track. After all, last year, T.I. lost a very important member of his entourage (arguably even more so than DJ Drama) in a rather suspect incident, and he ended up having the best-selling rap album of the year.
According to the world's most accurate encyclopedia, Courtesy Curtis is still set for release at the very beginning of July, around the same time 50 Cent's similarly titled Curtis would've been released. But since Curtis has been pushed back to September, I wouldn't be surprised if Cam'ron's album is pushed back a bit as well. That would give him plenty of time to get his story straight re: Stack Bundles and getting jacked in the face, as well as benefit from whatever attendant publicity is generated.
I know, it sounds cynical to think about such things on the same day yet another rapper was gunned down in the streets, but look at it like this: If Stack Bundles' death serves as the catalyst to get a new Cam'ron album in stores, then at least we could say his life served some puprose. Because honestly, I'm not sure if we could otherwise.
