Cam’ron on location Lately, it appears that musicians as widely varied as New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi and hip-hop artist Cam’ron (center of photo at left) and his Harlem-based posse, the Diplomats, want to be identified with Brooklyn. While Bon Jovi’s latest CD, “Have a Nice Day,” includes photos of the band set against Brooklyn’s gritty waterfront in its liner notes, Cam’ron chose Greenpoint as the setting for his “gangsta musical,” “Kil- la Season.” In August, Cam’ron staged a 6-minute shootout at 220 Dupont St. for his new DVD which will be released in conjunction with his upcoming album — also titled “Killa Season” — next month. Cam’ron told the Daily News, “I think this DVD will show people what they want. We haven’t been able to show a gun on TV or a bottle of Hennessy liquor on TV in seven years, and people want to see those things.” But don’t worry, Cam’ron’s crew was only shooting blanks.
