"But it's crazy how yall broadcast me, put me on the news like weather & forecast me" - Juelz *Everyone screams OHHHHHHHHHHH*

!!!!

I dont think I've ever heard the Dips get so hyped over a line

 

[Sbp]

starting to feel like rap will never be this relevant again. it was dictating EVERYTHING back then. now the shyt is dead.

You absolutely right from fashion to slang even to the liquor we drank. Nowadays rappers talkin bout the dont listen to hiphop

Juelz was a fukking monster.

Never heard this one...I thought I've heard them all

 

[Milk N Cookies]

Of course it's a classic! No questioning, Cam was always killing it with the random ass ad libs that somehow made sense after you listened to it again. Dipset was that sh1t ain't no denying that.

 

[Grizzly]

To keep it real there was a bit of a Dipset backlash ON THE INTERNET around late 04 early 05. I remember on AHH dudes would complain about Cam and Juelz's "repetitive nursery rhyme style flow" Jones being wack to many members ect.I also remember some posters calling them the "Dipshyts" But I aint never heard nobody say that shyt in the streets tho.

This is true. I definitely remember that Cam's rhymebook pic floating around. Dipset didn't start getting love on the net until recently.

 

[Droopy]

took me back one time....

 

[theflyest]

This actually isn't the whole thing. I wish I still had it, but I don't see it on youtube either.

Jim has the first verse & he was like "we're the type to fill the tires with grams, we done hustled all night, until I was too tired to stand."

How much longer is the internets going to overrate this group? It's funny because they get more love now then they ever did when they were actually poppin.

Man shut your nerd ass up.

Fulton Mall. nikkas would be outside hustling you in to flip through books.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

nikka where did you live? Pluto???

I don't know where a nikka is from where Dip Set was crazy popular. In NY during that time only thing more popular was G-Unit and that depending on which hood you was from

110th/Tito Puente. Before moving there I spend most of my childhood in East River projects but my mom moved us out because shyt crazy over there. You can see my old hood in the background of some shots in the Killa Season movie. Im from where you only heard about in the raps fam. Anyway, Dipset was considered clowns by a lot of nikkas, this was before 'swag' took precedence over everything. It definitely wasn’t universal love in Harlem so i know damn well it wasn't like that across the city & country like yall make it out. They get way more love in retrospect than they did at the time. Now check the amount of responses I got simply stating that fact We had these d-block vs g-unit vs dipset debates all the time back then but you cant even call dipset overrated on the coli without getting attacked. shyt is funny to me. Don't let me spoil yall jerk off session with reality tho, carry on...

I thought Juelz was going to be huge!

 

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

Was there recycled material? Sure

Is it still classic? Yes

Let's take the time to appreciate the day the Diplomats went to Hot 97 & gave us this historical moment.






@ Cam's adlibs throughout, talking his shyt

"But it's crazy how yall broadcast me, put me on the news like weather & forecast me" - Juelz *Everyone screams OHHHHHHHHHHH*
