OK, explain Dipset to me...

[Lord Funk]

It's a serious question, before the hate begins lol...

When Juelz Santana dropped Me 2 U I picked it up 'cause I liked some samples I heard. I didn't know a thing about Dipset but the album was dope and I still play it time to time.

Since then, nothing. I've only heard Cam's singles and I didn't like the poppy sound of some of 'em, so I avoided him. I didn't 'get' the hype around other members of the crew and I didn't hear anything from Juelz' second album.

Then, this weekend, I listened to Hell Rell's album on the headphones in my local record shop and it sounded fucking great - really gutter, grimy shit, like modern East Coast hip-hop should be.

It got me thinking - maybe I haven't given this 'movement' a chance. So what I want Sikotic, Spice and the crew here to do is 'explain' the Dipset to me - is that Hell Rell CD a good indication of their sound? Are there better examples of what they do? Any help would be cool - I recently realised I've lost touch with a lot of modern hip-hop so this seems as good a place to start as any

Props in advance y'all.

Yeah alot of people think we are joking around when we speak about the Dips but its all sincere, these guys are really running the rap game right now.

I'l give you my 2 cents on the 6 main mc's of the Dipset.  And make sure you check out J.R's and 40 Cal's new album.

CamRon = He really has it all, the ability to make gangsta tracks while at the same time making club tracks aswell.  Cam has a great sense of what he likes to do and his lyrics and punchlines are never lacking.  Check out all of his 5 solo albums they are all very, very good.

Juelz = he is def the mainstream rapper out of the group, at times I think his mixtapes sound better than his albums, but the guy can still spit real nice.  Juelz is usually on point with the wordplay and metaphors but at times can sound a little too commercial, but dude is great regardless

J.R. Writer = Wow you must check out his new album "History in the Making"  Dude is a lyricist to the fullest.  Although Cam has great metaphors and lyrics J.R. might be able to top him someday.

40 Cal = Check out his album also that he is releasing tomorrow.  Dude has a real confident, grimey sounding voice and is on point w/ his lyrics aswell.

Jim Jones = Dude is a boss, now his rapping skills arent where J.R.'s or Cam's are, but Jimmy knows how to make good tracks and his last 2 albums were madly underated.

Hell Rell = Maybe my least favorite dip but dude is still raw.  Hell Rell seems to be the most gutter of all the Dips when he raps, Hell Rell has some nice raps though.


Overall just check out all of their albums and mixtapes, they never dissapoint

Great info Spice - props for that.

I was in London last week and 40 Cal's Broken Safety was already out there, but I passed it up to get Rick Ross and Ras Kass' 'Revenge of the Spit'

[Machiavelli]

they might have some decent cuts....but OVERALL Dipset is corny and IMO, a gimmick

[NiCc_FrUm_ThA_nO]

That J.R. Writer album is DOPE as hell!!!!!!I d/l it but Im gonna end up buying, like Spice said Lyricist to the fullest. Ive still yet to hear the rest but im workin on it. But definently pick up that J.R. album, WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.

Hold up is Hell Rell album out?

i saw a mixtape in the store awhile back.

but i agree with the discriptions above.
but right now you might tell that im listening to alot of purple city and SAS
SAS is a part of dipset, they brothers and are real nice, good punch line good metaphores, good flow, and they work well together.
purple city is not technicaly part of the dips but are closely affiliated. shiest bub, un kasa, and the producer (i cant spell his name, makes fye beats and spits nice) the also have a-mafia, smoke and numbers and a few more. they are real nice and did an album with the bayro gang from paris.

There is nothing wrong with Dipset.  There is a lot, however, that's wrong with Dipset groupies.

Dipset BITCH. Its the The Byrd Gang

[J Bananas]

Original production, slang, lyrics(say what u want), dress, and lots and lots of muthafuckin personality and swagger, which crab ass dead prez fans hate, so the "dip groupies" take it to another level to throw it back in their pale nerdy faces and now its a movement! as for rappers who hate em, lets see.....Loon - didnt make it jackin the souths sound, so he wound up slangin boost mobile at malls. Tru Life - I saw this guy on Beef 1 and laughed at his pitiful attempt to make money off of beef with the mobb, now he's trying the same thing 10 years later and i still havent heard one song of his. 40 glocc - i like 40 glocc, but this nigga should try and ride suga frees coat tails instead of going broke trying to diss the dips, say whatever you want, but as long as there are kooks sayin shit like "oh that nigga wears pink" or whatever trying to hate, the movement will grow.
