Dipset & G-Unit Are Not a Top 10 NYC Group

[tuckgod]

I agree with you in regards to the individual rappers. I say it can be an argument made because Dipset had a huge impact that is even felt today. A lot of this generation's rappers are heavily influenced by Dip. Much more so than The Lox/D-Block. Also as much as I love The Lox, they don't have any solo or group classics and the only album in their catalog that can probably come near Diplomatic Immunity is Styles Gangsta and a Gentleman. Lox solos are mostly meh and Dip solos are mostly meh. That cancels each other out. Both camps had dope mixtapes.

Dipset is more of a crew than a group.

No they didn't

Chief Keef & that chiraq movement was more influential to this era than Dipset


Dipset was just a trendy local internet wave that lasted a year or two

Dipset is more known for getting beat up, stabbed, shot at, jumped at the Rucker, etc then actual classic music

Both Chief Keef & Fredo credit G-Unit for the drill sound, specifically “Heat” by 50 Cent.

There’s been other drill rappers that have credited them for being apart of the reason they went with that sound, especially around the time GRODT was celebrating it’s Anniversary.


Idk why people make threads without doing their homework first

LOX I can understand, but why you got these LI and Jersey dudes on your list?

How did you Feel about We Are The Streets?

as a whole I definitely prefer The Lox over dipset but I completely agree with the bolded.

We are the Streets is definitely their best group album but it's still not a classic. A very solid album tho. Breathe Easy is one of my favorite Lox songs and they had dope tracks like Recognize, Wildout and Blood Pressure on it. I prefer the Lox over Dip also but dudes just can't deny the HUGE impact that Dipset had on the current crop of rappers.
