Strength In Numbers?

Shortly before it hit the net, Karen Civil informed me of Shad’s decision to head over to Cash Money. What ensued next was barrage of commentary on Twitter, 95% of which was negative. On paper, having a label with Lil’ Wayne, Drake, Mack Maine, Nicki Minaj, Omarion and now Bow Wow seems...

Hell Rell & His Impeccable Interview Abilities

Before you say anything, I already know this footage has been out for two weeks. That still doesn’t make it any less comical.

“Me, Myself & No Santana…”

It’s moments such as these which make Diplomatic Immunity 1 sound that much better. For the remaining few who still held on the sliver of hope for a Dipset resurrection, kill the noise. Earlier this year, Santana spoke on the alleged break up proclaiming that his “day one n*ggas, ain’t...

“What It Is, What It Used To Be…”

This week, Cam’ron says there will be no Dipset reunion but I’m not buying it. Mainly because he told TC different a few weeks ago. Then you have Jimmy, who repeatedly denied ever talking to Cam on the phone, only to finally have his memory restored & admitting to Funk Flex that the...

“I Like Tennis Chains Now Dummy.”

Words By Jesse H. I can safely lay claim to being one of the most consistent vocal detractors of the “Dipset is the new Wu-Tang” argument any time I hear it mentioned. Don’t get me wrong, I bump the Dips on a healthy basis, I just don’t think a comparison to the Wu is a proper...

Tom Gist - The Bronx Song

Timing is everything I guess. I say that because I think that’s the reason why we’ll probably never get anything solid from Gist, not even an indy release. If memory serves me correct, he caught on with the Dips movement right around the time Cam started his sabbatical.
