Not trying to throw shade on jay-z but 1 of the only reasons he is so big is because of the marketing behind him. Imagine if the Dips would have had an industry bigwig like Jimmy Iovine behind the movement when it was moving. Cam would more than likely be a billionaire. Them nikkas really set trends and had music/spitters for days. Even they bench warmers (Hell Rell, Writer, Tom Gist) were nice and made decent shyt. I mean I do salute Cam for not being pimped by a major and being about his business, but imagine if he allowed himself to be pimped and smutted out like jigga the c00n.

Jim Jones had nikkas wearing even more embarrassing outfits he aint that influential,they got as big as they was because they was on rocafella. They probably had a little more room for growth but I doubt they woulda been 50/G unit status no matter what push they got.

underground because they ain't bow down to label execs. Cam mentioned a few scenarios where he was in meetings and rejected offers that he thought were slave deals

:what: niggga please be quiet and exit my thread, nobody said shyt about bumping dipset now (even tho i do listen to some of they old shyt). But that ain't the point I'm making, All I'm saying is that they had more influence on the streets for a longer period than jigger. When was the last time jigga actually set a trend that wasn't a corporate move? Button up shirts? that shyt came and went and was like 15 years ago.
