To some, he\u2019s the kid from Nickelodeon and\u00a0<em>Smart Guy<\/em>. To others, he\u2019s the actor from\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/baby_boy\">Baby Boy<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and seemingly countless roles across TV and film. But what many don\u2019t know is Gooding has been an MC long before Hollywood fame ever called. <\/p>\n<p>Recently, his pen and pride collided with Harlem legend <a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/tag\/camron\/\">Cam\u2019ron<\/a>, sparking one of the most unexpected rap dust-ups of the year. What began with a slip of the tongue\u2014Cam calling him \u201cOmar Gooding Jr.\u201d\u2014spiraled into a string of diss records, a viral \u201cprank\u201d that left Gooding furious and a fourth response track that has the rap world taking him very seriously. In an exclusive with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chuckcreekmur\/\"><em>AllHipHop<\/em><\/a>, Omar opens up about defending his brother Cuba Gooding Jr. from Nas, why he doesn\u2019t write out of anger, the details behind the prank and why Part Four is the one.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<d class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Omar Gooding Talks Cam&#039;ron Beef, How He Uno-Reversed Cam &amp; Why He&#039;s Really Like That In Rap\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NCpMbLzlk5E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d><br \/>\n<\/d><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The Q&amp;A has been edited for clarity and flow. For the full, unedited conversation watch the video <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0Omar, first off, how you feeling? You\u2019ve had the internet buzzing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019m good, bro. Glad to talk to you. I know I got people shaking right now, some laughing, some talking, but it\u2019s cool. I\u2019m built for this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0I\u2019m glad to talk to you, man. First of all, you\u2019re not from New York City, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/news-photo\/marvet-brito-verizon-exct-cuba-gooding-jr-julissa-and-chuck-news-photo\/452821347\">but your brother used to be at all our parties back in the day hanging out<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s funny too because he was hot at me a couple days ago. He was like, \u201cStop pandering to ignorance.\u201d And I was like, first of all, what the f##k does pandering mean? Second of all, make me # when you trying to preach to your little brother. Like, knock it the sh## off. I\u2019m doing what I do.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve responded or written out of anger in a long time. Ironically, I\u2019ma give you something I wasn\u2019t planning on saying. The only time I ever wrote a rhyme out of anger was when I was trying to defend my big brother when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pBpxEL6PP7o\">Nas put his name in a song<\/a>. (Editor\u2019s Note: On \u201cThese Are Our Heroes,\u201d Nas  condemned Tiger Woods, Taye Diggs and\u00a0Cuba Gooding Jr.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0Tell me more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah, the only time I ever rapped out of anger was defending my big brother. When Nas said, \u201cYou sell out like Cuba Gooding Jr.,\u201d I lost it. I was in Dr. Dre\u2019s studio with Focus, Chino XL, a bunch of MCs. They threw on a beat, and I went last like I always do. I went straight at Nas. Everybody was like, \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d But that\u2019s my brother. I was heated. Focus just shook his head and said, \u201cNas ain\u2019t gonna respond.\u201d And of course, he didn\u2019t. But that was the one time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0Recently you found yourself in another situation \u2014 the so-called prank with Cam. Walk us through what happened.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0Man, look. I was booked for one scene, $2,500, flown first class, easy work. The original script had me licking a sneaker. I said, \u201cI\u2019m not licking no f##kin\u2019 shoe.\u201d They revised it to push-ups and jumping jacks. I said, \u201cNo jacks, but I\u2019ll do push-ups.\u201d Took my shirt off, had a tank top, did like 100 push-ups in different takes. That\u2019s it. Nothing crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Next thing I know, this footage pops up online with filters and Cam\u2019ron\u2019s clowning. At first, I laughed, but then I was like, \u201cWait \u2014 this dude crossed the line.\u201d What people don\u2019t realize is that wasn\u2019t some random casting. I got called by somebody I knew, who was tied to Cam. He orchestrated it. That\u2019s why I said, you can\u2019t fall for the favors game in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0You made some reference to some possible legalities, but don\u2019t\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0I don\u2019t want that man\u2019s money. I got my own path, my own legacy. But when you cross lines and play with my name, I\u2019m gonna respond. Period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0And that response came in the form of the \u201cFix Your Mouth\u201d series.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0Right. The first one was light \u2014 a warning shot. The second was sharper. I thought it was over. Then Cam mentioned me again on his show, slipped in jokes about me doing barbershops and bowling alleys. I laughed, gave him props because it was funny, but then I had to cook again. That\u2019s when I dropped Part Four.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<d class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Omar Gooding - (Camron Diss) Fix Ya Mouth Pt 4\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5BIdy5ROEVs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d><br \/>\n<\/d><\/figure>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0Part Four feels like the one that had people really tuning in.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah, that was the test. He dropped the prank, people were clowning me, my phone blowing up. I said, \u201cAlright, chest out, stomach in. Time to respond.\u201d We recorded Part Four in real time. No ghostwriters, no waiting two weeks, none of that. Just me and my DJ arranging it, switching beats, making it surgical. When you hear us laughing at the end, that was live in the booth. That\u2019s Hip-Hop to me. Real pen work. Replay value.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0You said New Yorkers weren\u2019t rocking with you, but the people I spoke to from New York told me to tell you keep the pressure up. They said Cam don\u2019t really want smoke.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0That bothered me. My mom and dad were born in Harlem. My father\u2019s buried there. I did a comedy show in Harlem in the middle of this whole thing.  So it ain\u2019t East vs. West. Don\u2019t get it twisted. I love New York.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0Let\u2019s talk MC stuff. Some have questioned if Cam freestyles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0Look, freestyle means different things now. To me, it always meant off the top of your head. When I was younger, I\u2019d hit Power 106 with Big Boy, just spitting live, no prep. I remember one time he caught me off guard and I froze. Next time, I showed up freestyling from 5 a.m. till we walked in the studio. That\u2019s me. I come from that era where freestyling meant raw bars right then and there. Cam\u2019s a lyricist, but let\u2019s not act like everything is straight off the dome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AllHipHop:\u00a0Beyond this, you\u2019re juggling comedy, acting, and music. What does all this mean for Omar Gooding right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Omar Gooding:<\/strong>\u00a0Honestly, it\u2019s exposure. Phone ringing more, bookings up 30 to 40 percent. People reaching out for all kinds of opportunities. And yeah, some are clowning, but that just means they\u2019re watching. At the end of the day, I\u2019m grateful. I\u2019m doing stand-up, I\u2019m doing music, I\u2019m acting. I\u2019m not boxed in. And I\u2019ll give Cam this: without him, maybe people wouldn\u2019t know just how serious I am with this MC thing. So in a way, I thank him.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/features\/omar-gooding-is-not-done-with-camron-or-rap\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Omar Gooding has lived many lives in entertainment.
