Video: Cam'ron: "I Hate My Job"

(swiped from Pitchfork Media)

With unemployment being what it is, Cam'ron should be happy he even has a job, especially after spending the last year-and-a-half hiding under a rock: One minute you're mixing it up with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, and the next you've beefed your way into obscurity. This low-budget clip for "I Hate My Job", a supposed single from supposed album Crime Pays, may not be the anthem the faithful were hoping for, but it's a step in the right direction. The video is a little confusing, with the first half of the track chronicling a workaday gal and the woes of a 9-5 (I think), followed by Cam hopelessly searching for a new gig ("Shoulda been a fireman, shoulda learned wirin'"). Still, there's something endearing about watching Cam work from the bottom up for our renewed affections, morphing a mildly clever idea into a charmingly self-deprecating apology.
