These days, instead of finding Cam posted on a Harlem corner or driving down Collins Avenue in Miami with the top down, you can catch him in Las Vegas. Five days a week, he comments on the daily happenings in basketball and football with a uniquely Killa spin: no-holds-barred and hilariously, profanely blunt. No player or coach is above reproach, or a roasting, when the situation calls for it.
So far, Cam has not stirred up any similar confrontations in the sports world. But don't get in my face. Witness: The Maturation of Killa Cam. Never forget his hot pink Range Rover. Phil βstyle show.
Phil, [the advice] is not coming from somebody like me. But sometimes you just want to hear advice from somebody who looks like you. You can't come home at five in the morning and think your wife is going to be pleased. Y'all ain't been on a trip in a minute. What do you think she supposed to do? But the show we did get is pretty great. Happening upon an episode for the first time, one would be forgiven for assuming it was just a skit or a goof.
But while Cam loves a good laugh, he and Mase are dead serious. Cam started the show in November , filming in a studio space in Miami where he spent his time outside of New York with rotating guests. It gained traction on Instagram, where Cam would upload clips and full episodes. After Mase made a few visits, their rapport became the hook that ratcheted up the intrigue; Mase was a mainstay by the following March, when the series migrated to YouTube.
