  • Camron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Freaky Zeaky. The Diplomats (also known as Dipset) Formed in 1997
    The diplomats. One of Hip hop most well known and well respected groups of all time. If there were any rap group that capitalized early in their careers and made somewhat of the most of their influence it was dipset. Together they're cultural icons that were in control of shaping the direction of hip hop at one point in the early 2000s. Their mixtapes and full length projects, highlighted by the series “Diplomatic Immunity” 1 and 2 led their ascendance and received high praise at the peak of their run, but became a quick climax, that in just a few years was realized it would be peak of where together they could take their unique sound. Separately they all had success, and also a chance at being bigger than they eventually became. They made magic as a collective, and are still relatively relevant today, but it always feels when their name is brought up they didn’t quite hit the mark. The problem that led to Dipset actually falling short by all accounts was actually just that. Everything not effectively coming together to at least seal the lid on a great career. Just one that has been stunted at crucial points, and here are 3 of the biggest reasons I think this happened. Legends in the game, yet under delivered in the grand scheme.

    Cam ain’t the blame for dipset’s downfall. He stated that his mother was sick during the 50 beef so he fell back & Jim told him he wanted to fake beef but cam said that would confuse the fans. He also pointed out that Juelz was lazy & was hooked on lean then he asked Cam to release him. If cam is the blame then why was Vado poppin when Juelz was nowhere to be found? Jim took Stack’s style & beefed with Max when Max got him hot. Jim today is nice now but he’s really the blame for the group’s downfall. As for the verzuz, them niggas never fucked with each other

No proper label to market them to their particular audience, a delay or a travesty in the makings of their debut albums with little budgets, or simply them being limited in their range with their artistry. They were far from wack. They just didn't get the chance to shine as they should've due to factors stagnating them

    The Dips was one of my favorite rap groups and they have hits frfr and were influential in their time and i respected the dress code and their beat selection was crazy too. I do feel in their heyday Cam was too simplistic with the rhymes...he was a better rapper before their big mid- 2000s run and he's been a better rapper since the late 2000s. Just my opinion.

      @@Mikelauren212 I’m talking about from a business standpoint. After the fall of Rocafella, Cam went MIA in terms of expanding the brand & the label. Being a boss means leading by example & making sure the business doesn’t fail. Jay Z went on to create Roc Nation, who (ironically enough) Jim is now signed to. Even with that versus battle, you could tell Cam was unprepared & just thought he’d get by on being the “fly” guy. But Jim & the Lox are still actively making music on a regular, so that’s why their performances stood out.
