The list of rappers who actually succeed at being funny is a short one. Cam’ron ranks right up near the top of that list—without even trying. Whether it's a TV interview gone awry or a camera phone video gone viral, Killa Cam’s a constant source of entertainment even when he's on hiatus from the vocal booth.

Most recently, his Jay-Z impression during a Diplomats interview with Miss Info provided some much-needed comic relief to a discussion of both artists’ strained past. Over the years, Cam's made headlines for all sorts of stunts, from the ridiculous to the sublime.

Just to refresh your memory, we pulled together Cam’ron’s 10 Most Ignorant Moments. Take a look and relive some of the craziest episodes in Killa Cam’s 13-year career. Is he a comic genius or just plain ignorant? Let others be the judge of that. We're too busy cracking up.

2. Making Fun Of Stan Spit’s Mother Being Dead

Date: 2000

Most Ignorant Line: “Hung out with you on Mother’s Day, because your mother's dead.”

What happened? When Stan’Ron dissed Cam—his former mentor—in an obscure freestyle, Cam let off this career-ending diss track, "Dear Stan." The song flips Eminem’s classic about a suicidal male groupie into a lyrical homicide.

Complex says: Saying the meanest shit you can think of just to win a rap battle is one thing, but when you talk about someone’s deceased mother, even if you win (and Cam’ron clearly did), you will always lose.

1. Threatening To "R. Kelly" Nas’s Daughter

Date: 2002

Most Ignorant Line: “Tell your daughter: R. Kelly, have my way with her face.”

What happened? After Nas deemed Cam’ron’s Come Home With Me album “wack” on Hot 97, Cam and Jim Jones responded with a freestyle aimed at Nas over his classic “Hate Me Now” beat. The song appeared on the Diplomats Volume 2 mixtape.

Complex says: Diss records are all fun and games until someone refers to your mom as a "whip-wop head" and threatens to "R.Kelly" your daughter in the same breath. This one was a hop, skip, and a 12-hour plane ride over the line—even by hip-hop standards.
