Cam’ron sounds off on Jim Jones on “It Is What It Is”

[Chris Cool]

I think some of y'all think Dipset reached G-Unit heights sometimes. This is revisionist history. They were maybe as big as E40 and the Click who alot of y'all didn't know until the past decade. So let's not confuse internet soldiers and fandom with the streets. They had the internet on lock,but internet wasn't as prevalent as it was today in peoples lives.

They've always been overstated on this site.

Cam was more respected than fab. Made better songs and could rap just as well.

Fab was just doing a cosplay of big l tho. Can rapped differently.

There is no planet on which Cam is a better emcee than Fab

 

[Black Lightning]

Some of y’all are way too invested into this shyt.

40+ pages is ridiculous.

 

[HARLEM AL]

This make Jim look like the real street nikka n cam just the boss like we all thought except Cam n his groupies

It was confirmed by fat joe man that Jim ran.

At this point I believe a lot of you nikkas see your self in Jim Jones. Which makes sense….

 

[Hostile]

Cam definitely isn't speaking facts on everything. The segment got so much attention that everybody involved in the shyt he was talking about is being interviewed.

 

[Mikeatris]

I wonder why they cut this part out?



I didn’t even see this shyt until now

They were pretty big though. This goes back to debate about cultural impact vs sales. It wasn't just the music. It was the fashion, unfortunately, the gang shyt, the lifestyle, etc...obviously they weren't as big as G-Unit on a mainstream level, not even close.

But nikkas was not dressing like Bank and Yayo. nikkas wasn't making music like them. Nobody wanted to be them nikkas. nikkas wanted to be 50 and 50 only. Conversely, nikkas was heavily influenced by all of the big 3 of Dip Set.

Damn near all the popular drill artists in Chicago from Fredo Santana (RIP said he calls himself Santana because of Juelz) to G Herbo to Lil Durk said they were all heavily influenced by Dip Set. The biggest rapper in the world at one point, Lil Wayne, was damn near the biggest Dipset stan in the world. Look at how Drake treats Dip Set.

Their influence culturally far outweighs their record sales.

More shyt that's overstated. Who was dressing like them nikkas? What years was this?

What? Damn near every YN nowadays dresses exactly like Jim Jones. He and Juelz changed the dress code in the game, he's the first one having nikkas wearing Chrome Hearts, the skull wallet chains on jeans, the entire vampire style of dressing that Carti, Spaceghostpurp use is from Jones.

nikkas like Peezy, Lil Wayne were influenced by how they dressed. Rocky whole aesthetic is directly influenced from Jones and Juelz.

Even before then, in the early mid 2000s the bandanas titled on the side of their head, airbrushed t-shirts, customized timbs and nike airs, wearing pink. All that was lifted from them nikkas.

"I remember claiming Dipset (let's get it)
I had some bytches on my line
I told them bytches get they lips wet"

Had a gang in New Orleans called bird gang around 06 and they was like the most popular street gang in the city. They would dress just like Juelz and jones
