Ma$e Charged Cam'ron $40K To Be In His Video, So Cam Did Something Genius

Cam'ron would've been one of the greatest of all time if he wasn't so trash.

An example of his epicness came exactly 17 years ago today.

That's right, his video with Ma$e didn't even feature Ma$e.

Who else could've fooled us for 17 years?
