Cam's verse was the best part of the freestyle when I heard this when I was a teenager in the early 2000 and 23 years later it's still the best part of the freesstlyle
There's still real spitters out there today, you're just not looking hard enough. The Griselda cats, Ka, Roc Marciano, Your Old Droog, Ransom, Mach Hommy, etc etc.
Best thing I love about this era was the competition between all the artist. Any one of them weren’t scared to go at each other. Something you don’t see these days
@@el_mal_de_ojo J. Cole, Rapsody, Kendrick Lamar, Joey Badda$$, and legends such as Nas, Cypress Hill, Meth, Killer Mike, Banks, Planet Asia, Elzi, Pusha T. Jack Harlow, RJ Payne, Tyler, 38 Spesh, Phonte, Sa-Roc, Big KRIT, Che Noir, Freddie Gibbs.
Woulda been super cancelled if they made this freestyle in 2022 😂. "Young Mohamed Atta no plane lessons, cocaine lessons to supply the towers" This is back in the days when hip-hop didn't have to follow the mainstream discourse.
My AK was my AKA Before my ABC's and had me A' Ok I'll show u how to make 2 million out ya deal For the right price I could get you out ya deal Smack ya CEO That's when the teck is soarin $4 mil from Def Jam & I ain't sold a record for 'em
Still one of the greatest freestyles of all time!!! Killa Cam really brought that heat whilst Jurors Juelz just really repped the block big time and uncle Jimmy just solidified why they were they hottest squad out at the time!!! LEGENDARY SHIT!!! gotta respect how Cam is busy counting stacks whilst putting down what's real and what's not!!
Born in 94 so by this time i was consciously listening to hip-hop (it was always around in my house) but being able to actually appreciate the craft was so important. Dipset set the standard for me personally in regards to Swag, Culture only a few others did the same for me Kanye, Lil Wayne and of course the great Jay-z salute to the LEGENDS !
There was another version of this exact video (same intro and everything) that was uploaded a few years before this one and it had over a million before it got deleted. But you still right.. this is arguably the most legendary freestyle in the basement history. It should’ve been at 50 mil
In case you haven't heard Dipset before now, this cypher highlights the MASSIVE gap in talent between Cam and everyone else. Bro carried the hell out of this group.
In case anybody wants to argue that Cams ain’t off top, here’s the description from Genius: “This highly acclaimed track has variously been dubbed the best Rap City freestyle ever, as well as the best Dipset freestyle. While Jones' verse and a part of Santana’s verse appear elsewhere - on “Beautiful Noise” and “Okay Okay” respectively - Cam'ron’s now-iconic contribution is completely “off the dome.”
It comes down to your definition of freestyle. Some people think it's off the top which is dope but I say it's adjusting a verse to whatever beat you're flowing on. But there is fair arguments on both sides
@@thugger-vandrossis clearly not off the dome homes, it’s still beautiful but he just ain’t use it in no song that don’t mean it’s not written, he was reciting
My AK was my AKA before my ABC's and had me A OK. I'll show u how to make 2 million out ya deal for the right price I can get u out ya deal. Smack ya CEO that's when the tech is soaring $4 million from def jam and I aint sold a record for em!!! DAMN cam murdered it SHIT!!!!! Killa
@@EECErik is that why he said "thats when the tech is soaring" stocks. I get he ripped off Def Jam but without a stock trade it seems foolish to burn a bridge, but hey, camron hasnt gave a f in awhile.
I’ll always find my way back to this freestyle year in and year out. True lyricism and it’s a walk down memory lane when bars were prevalent and your wordplay was everything. Salute the real MC’s 🫡
One of the best moments in hip hop history. Damn wish these guys stayed together like the lox. Literally history in the making when they worked together
Best rapcity freestyle ! Not even close. Cam is a wizard with the word play. “Weed and a four wheeler F Mike till you seen me you never saw thrilled “ 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Cam is just ridiculous, i would say this is hiphop hall of fame shit. Definitely in the top five freestyle of all time with this. delivery, rhymefrequency, rythm, everything is over the top.
Cant believe this only has 174k views. Cam got colder when he stopped counting. Rap City should be brought back as a youtube channel. Drop weekly episodes. Real rappers not just people riding a wave mumbling shit.
Whenever I wanna hear real shit I go to this freestyle to hear Cameron part other two went off but Cameron came on it smooth plus the beat just bring back so many good memories
This Is My Favorite Hip-Hop Freestyle - SammyP25 - Dipset Freestyle - The Diplomats Feat Cam'ron Juelz Santana & Jim Jones [Year: 2003] On Black Entertainment Television Networks 🖥
Sounds like the mixtapes we used to pick up at the liquor store off 95 - which is a 🔥 place to find music by the way. lil Wayne and dipset came to me that way - the old raw real shit like this. Those were the days
everytime this song come on im transported back to my corolla cruising the backroads with this on full blast, screamin that cam verse out loud will all em fucking windows down lol good times
THAT'S TALENT! RIGHT THERE IN OUR FACES! (But we to busy watching strippers and worring about what name brand we got on.) These kats actually FREE-STYLE. Idk what these blackberry flow "freestyles" niggas be talking about. You can't eumlate this freestyle shit, you need real talent. But unfortunally advertisment is priority. oh well.
I’ve been watching this for the last 20 years. Never gets old 😂😂😂
Nostalgia at its finest
Me too big Dog
My AkM was my AkA till I learned my RPK’s and PKM’s
ah ah same thing, stone cold classic.

Was a teen in this era. Cam’s verse is still unrivalled. Fresh from the arch Dioces

Deadass
Cam's verse was the best part of the freestyle when I heard this when I was a teenager in the early 2000 and 23 years later it's still the best part of the freesstlyle

Cam countin money while freestyin is crazy as hell
Killaa
@@KendrallHooks Dipset All Day!
I love this era of hip hop so much - tight flows, baggy clothes, and actual punchlines and wordplay. what a zeitgeist
For punchlines today I recommend Cash Kidd and BabyTron… but i agree with you 100%
There's still real spitters out there today, you're just not looking hard enough. The Griselda cats, Ka, Roc Marciano, Your Old Droog, Ransom, Mach Hommy, etc etc.

This dude Cam just took the shit to another level b.
Juelz killed it.
The dipset era was small but was definitely one of the greatest eras of hiphop imo they started so many trends in hiphop that they dont get love for
Killa Cam definitely SPAZZED on the beat!!!
The swag level on this has to be maxed out.
Harlem always had swag
Harlem is so awesome. Ive been Harlem World since 97
Ong bro
scarface my block instrumental, one of the finest ever made.

One of the greatest beats in hip hop

Idc what nobody say that was crazy

The confidence Cam has in this was always an inspiration for Me in life. His energy is hard to match. Good Guy...but don't fuck around
He was on dat rico from paid in full timing 😂😂
Who's still bumping their heads to this in 2023?
Cam made the beat go night night
I need to watch this every year and I don't know why.
One of my favorite cyphers ever. Brings me such an inexplicable sense of peace
Still one of the greatest freestyles of all time!!! Killa Cam really brought that heat whilst Jurors Juelz just really repped the block big time and uncle Jimmy just solidified why they were they hottest squad out at the time!!! LEGENDARY SHIT!!!

Grew up like 13 years old wit Purple haze boooyyy. Classic album. Cam 🔥
Thanks to Cam I’m Harlems new Anchor Man.. yes chump you should shake my hand! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This Shit should have millions of views!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
My generation don't know how real rap supposed to go
No publicity and not media oriented
There was another version of this exact video (same intro and everything) that was uploaded a few years before this one and it had over a million before it got deleted.
But you still right.. this is arguably the most legendary freestyle in the basement history. It should’ve been at 50 mil
It does on other channels
One of the greatest instrumentals of all time 🤘🤘🤘
What is the instrumental??
@@Patsworldbaby "My Block" by Scarface of Geto Boys
facts
one of kanye’s finest
We need an HD quality video for this classic dipset video!!
this was my favorite freestyle growing up
💯💯💯🥶
100%
Funny it's number 1 freestyle on rap city basement
Tony Yayo & Lloyd Banks second. (off that Hood Hop beat)
In case you haven't heard Dipset before now, this cypher highlights the MASSIVE gap in talent between Cam and everyone else. Bro carried the hell out of this group.
I remember watching this live when i was in highschool! Miss those days!!!
Me too! The Basement followed by 106 and Park with AJ and Free!
I was in 5th grade, on the days I didn't go to school I got to see most of rap city, I'm on the westcoast, rap city came on at 1pm out here
Same. Miss them days!
Santana rocking the throwback Miami Dolphins Zack Thomas will always resonate with me, being from South Florida!
They all killed it by flowing so well on Scarface’s beat but Cams was the only legit freestyle… and that shit was fye 😮💨
In case anybody wants to argue that Cams ain’t off top, here’s the description from Genius:

He wrote this for the basement , killed it, then threw it in garbage like Rico
This a classic but never will be forgotten about 🔥🔥🔥
When Cam starts with the letters it's game over
Classic Dipset Freestyle one of the Best Basement Freestyles EVER!! 🔥🔥🎶🎶

Whats that mean. He used his advance to make stock $ and gave it back?
@@randomguy-xp7se he got 4mil and didn’t do shit for the label yet pretty much
@@EECErik is that why he said "thats when the tech is soaring" stocks. I get he ripped off Def Jam but without a stock trade it seems foolish to burn a bridge, but hey, camron hasnt gave a f in awhile.
I've always loved Cam's flow and wordplay. He was ahead of the game.
Man they need to bring the "Rap City " and the basement back I miss it. Camron killed it on here Killa!!!!!
My all time favorite freestyle by The Diplomats with Cam'ron as Ruler from 2003 back when they 3-0'd each song with some bars 😊
I’ll always find my way back to this freestyle year in and year out. True lyricism and it’s a walk down memory lane when bars were prevalent and your wordplay was everything. Salute the real MC’s 🫡
Cam murder this 💯...man memories of high school
4 mil from def Jam and I ain't sell a record for em cold

Juelz been talkin crazy! I miss these days
One of the best moments in hip hop history. Damn wish these guys stayed together like the lox. Literally history in the making when they worked together

The era when drip meant being able to match shoes and hats with any sport jersey. Bring me back.

Cam is just ridiculous, i would say this is hiphop hall of fame shit. Definitely in the top five freestyle of all time with this. delivery, rhymefrequency, rythm, everything is over the top.
This a classic my era of real hip hop and rap
This is drop, thank you Juelz, Cam, "Dipset Anthem" is a classic
I listened to it going to work, drunk off E&J

Dip was the best 2002-2006
Sorry, The Unit was lava at that point and there was no water to cool it off
Gunit
Going into 2023 playing this.
hell yeah
This is a rare clip of what hip hop used to be, in its truest form💯
Cam got in the zone at the end. Classic shit.
Cant believe this only has 174k views. Cam got colder when he stopped counting.
Rap City should be brought back as a youtube channel. Drop weekly episodes. Real rappers not just people riding a wave mumbling shit.
No one did it quite like Dip Set. To me, they did the rap game perfect
Counting a stack while dropping mad bars off the dome only KILLA!
THUMBS UP IF U MISS THROWBACK JERZEYZ!!!!!!!
Im here for at least the 1000th time! This the best rap city freestyle ever 🍀💪🏾
Whenever I wanna hear real shit I go to this freestyle to hear Cameron part other two went off but Cameron came on it smooth plus the beat just bring back so many good memories
Jim Jones Most Definitely Got Better As A Rapper NO DOUBT!! DipSet Was Straight Legendary And This Is Living PROOF For Sure!!!!!!!
