Cam'ron apparently isn't sweating being a potential target in Jay-Z's upcoming "I Declare War" concert. Earlier this week, Cam stopped by "Rap City" while Dame Dash was on hand to promote his new show, BET's Ultimate Hustler. After Cam briefly boasted about the battery-operated traffic light charm on his platinum chain, host J-Nicks asked Cam if he expected to be targeted during the Jay-Z/Power 105 "I Declare War" show in NYC later this month. "You know what it is with me. Say my name I can't wait. I'mma hit it. We live for that," Cam answered before Dash called out Nicks for instigating. "The way I do is this man, say my name. I don't got beef with nobody till they say my name. Like I had beef, an incident with Nas. He said my name for no reason -- shut down records... over. I retire people when you say my name. Finish it, say it."

Speculation has already been spreading that Jay may target Fat Joe, 50 Cent, and even The Game during the October 27th concert in which he has declared war on emcees who've been talking greasy about him. One rumor even says that Hov will show video footage of Chuck Taylor as a male stripper performing for men. .

The Source has been bashing the Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit camp in the past two years, word is the publication was supposed to do a positive piece on G-Unit for its November cover story. During a brief phone interview on New York radio station Power 105.1's Star and Bucwild morning show, an Interscope executive confirmed that The Source attempted to interview G-Unit. However, SOHH.com has learned the piece turned into a G-Unot article when "things didn't work out." That said, the entire G-Unit camp is said to be featured on the magazine's November cover against their wishes.

Lil Wayne's newfound swagger, his countless guest appearances and Jay-Z's stamp of approval apparently aren't enough to draw concert-goers to one of his shows. According to "Dolla Dave" Belton, who was helping Big Dis Entertainment promoter organize the show, a Weezie concert at Flint, Michigan's Perani Arena was cancelled because not enough tickets were sold. Tickets for the show ranged between $25 and $30. Amanda Dallaire, Perani Arena's box office manager, is giving refunds at the point of purchase.

Public Enemy has teamed with Adam Wallenta of American Mule Entertainment to release a politically charged comic book.

The untitled comic book, made with the cooperation of PE front man Chuck D, will be an action-adventure story that reflects the political and ideological views of the group that hit big with songs like "Don't Believe the Hype," "911 Is a Joke," and the 1989 classic anthem "Fight the Power."

"The reality is Public Enemy is a world-famous revolutionary, political Hip-Hop band that inspires young and old alike," co-creator Adam Wallenta told AllHipHop.com. “The fiction is they are members of a secret underground organization called the Underground Railroad, while they are touring the world they act as agents of peace and justice and help people whenever they are in need. They don't have super powers but they still kick major ass. There will be lots of adventure and action as well as social commentary reflecting many of today's issues."

Wallenta worked on several comics in the past, including “Imagine” and “The Retributors” and Marvel's "X-Nation" and "New Warriors" comic books.

"I was interning for Marvel Comics and they had a music division that was producing a Public Enemy comic book," Wallenta explained. “I remember seeing some of the artwork and thinking they had it all wrong. Because of poor sales with some of their other books and a shake up in the editorial offices, I believe the book was scrapped all together. After seeing them on tour I decided to run the idea past them about doing a comic book and we created the concept."

The untitled comic book will come with an exclusive CD of new PE material that will coincide with several group projects in the works, as well as songs by artists from Chuck D's label Slam Jamz and other artists.

To help build some buzz for the graphic novel, Wallenta and Chuck D. plan to release a one-shot featuring pages and sketches from the book.

A section of illustrated lyrics to a new PE song about Hurricane Katrina will also be included and proceeds will go towards Katrina relief.

The Public Enemy comic book will make its debut at the 2006 Comic-Con International in San Diego.
