Real heads know Dipset general Cam’ron is just as funny off his records as on, and a new web series called “Giles Investigation” is capturing the finer absurdities of his persona in the wild. Episode one just surfaced, and in it, Cam’ron goes back to the old neighborhood to catch up with a guy he used to sell crack to in order to find out if he’s since cleaned up.
Cam interviews the addict, a former comedian who goes by FaceMan and explains his trek “from woolys to stems” in the early ’90s, and offers him a little money, half up front and the other half to be received after the completion of some undisclosed task. The job turns out to be aerobics inside his apartment complex.

The message is to stay off drugs. “You might be breakdancing in the project hallway for $11,” Cam’ron told The Fader. “It’s funny, but at the same time it’s also sad because this is a real life situation.” Typical Cam: a little cruel, a little funny, and a little good-natured, all at once. Watch episode one of “Giles Investigation” below.
