50 Cent Responds To Jim Jones’ Claims That Dipset “Started The Mixtape Movement" | "He's Lying 🤣🤣🤣

[EastsideRio]

no they weren't. yall know what tf they're saying lol. a lot of smart dumb people gonna come in here and say shyt like

"What about quik? he dropped the red tape in 88"

"what about pause tapes"

Nah fam, I don't know what they saying that's why I posed the question. I wasn't in NYC in the 90's-early 2000's so I'm asking.

What is considered a "mixtape" when DJ S&S was dropping Bad Boy Vol. IV and shyt back in 1994 on actual mixed cassette tapes.

So if the first artists to start the wave for artists was Dipset then G-Unit then yeah thats correct. But they weren't the first to do it, DJ's were.

 

[EastsideRio]

DJ clue don’t exist? Kay Slay? Foh both of them lol

Clue? Ron G? Doo Wop? Ron G had Tupac on mixtapes.

DJ's came first, they're talking about artists/groups with their own mixtapes. Which ironically enough was still helped put out by DJ's.

Dipset had DJ Kay Slay
G-Unit had DJ Whoo Kid
Lil Wayne and Tha Sqad had DJ Raj Smoove

Even though Lil Wayne came months later you can throw him in there too because he dropped at the tail end of 2002

 

[JealousOnesEn_V]

Wayne was irrelevant in 2002..... Those were the Dipset/G-Unit days.

Wayne was a platinum solo and group artist. STFU.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

You clearly don’t remember 2002 to say Wayne was irrelevant. Particularly when compared to G Unit before GRODT.

Lil Wayne was not a Top 15 artist in 2002.
no order

1. 50
2. Jay
3. Nas
4. Luda
5. DMX
6. Nelly
7. Eminem
8. Scarface
9. Ja Rule
10. Jadakiss
11. Beanie Sigel
12. Snoop
13. Dr Dre
14. Eve
15. Trick Daddy
16. Fabolous

After 500 Degreez came out Wayne was #2 in the high schools next to Bow Wow/B2K (the hoes couldnt get enough of them nikkas). Dipset really blew up in 2003 around here.

Obviously they werent the first to start mixtapes

For example american cream team (also from harlem) had an artist mixtape with kay slay in 99 to hype up immobilarity and their upcoming release that never came to fruition. That was all new and unreleased material and that was atleast 2 years before dipset dropped anything.

Clue flex and kay slay made mixtapes popular

Dipset and gunit just standardized the whole album as a mixtape thing.

Is Jones specifically saying they dropped original music as mixtapes first while 50 was remixing records for mixtapes?

Also didn’t Guess Whose Back drop before the dipset tape and 50 the future?

Guess whos back was a retail release

Ie. And yes. Bad boy mixtape was first big mixtape besides the retail dj releases.

That album sold 141k first week (which is 22k in today's numbers)...nobody was listening to Wayne in 2002. not even the South.

Dispet always feel forgotten about bc they were inconsistent towards the end and faded out hard. Their inside beefs don't help either

Dipset and G-unit are just popping shyt flexing. They did not "invent" the mixtape. However they revolutionized the mixtape scene and it changed the entire hip-hop landscape.

50 went from being underground to the biggest act in hip-hop off of mixtapes. Dipset definitely deserves some respect tho they were major contributors.


The result was a lot of people from the underground were able to get a shot at a career now. The whole business got turned upside down. Crazy time.

Sohh, the #2 member of the Hot Boy$ next to Juvenile was getting no play in 2002 in the south???

TheColi.com; You can't make this shyt up.

Nahh, Dipset still got a very big cult following in the Midwest states; Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois, etc.

I think they have a cult following nationwide but on a mainstream level I think g unit eclipsed them so it blots them out from public memory a bit.

 

[BK The Great]

All I know is that DJ Kayslay, Funkmaster Flex & DJ Clue were making mixtapes before Dipset & G-Unit. That was in the late 90’s.

Alot of Dipset solo careers were also released on Independent labels as well.

Yayo, Banks, Game, and Buck all had major releases. G-Unit always had that machine behind them when Dipset didn't.

When Diplomatic Immunity 1 dropped in 2003 it was everywhere, when Diplomatic Immunity 2 dropped in '04 it was almost like a secret album. The only singles were "S.A.N.T.A.N.A.", "Family Ties", and "Crunk Muzik" (which only got played on 106 & Park once.)

Bullshyt. My whole high school was Wayne crazy in 02-03 when the SQAD tapes were dropping. He wasn't Dipset and 50 big but he definitely had a nice cult following.
