G Unit, D12 & the St Lunatics all have Platinum albums, Diplomats do not. Was their fame exaggerated?

[shopthatwrecks]

online nikkas dont really buy albums ...especially around that time..

 

[DrexlersFade]

G unit had the streets on lock…. With platinum albums to go with it

@Braman so did The St.Lunatics

G-Unit just released new material... which was smart considering that GRODT came out 9 months before Beg For Mercy.

DI1 was basically the best of the Diplomats mixtapes. Most of those tracks were already heard anyways.


Cam and them were able to finesse 500K into buying that album so kudos to them.

I've nvr really listen3d to the Free City album that much though.

All 3 Diplomats either went gold, or had a big hit.

Outside of Nelly and Em, what did the rest accomplish?

I did think Murphy Lee could have been a bigger act than he was

Hell yeah...

Murphy Lee actually had some drive unlike Ali's emotional self. Ali's first album only had one 1 good track.

I think that his album should dropped in 2002 instead of 2003.

In 2003, Nelly's buzz kinda started to cool down after running damn near the second half of 2002
Murphy Lee should have dropped during the Fall.

Those Dipset mixtapes were selling like hotcakes at every corner....


Too bad that the RIAA didn't certify em lol.

My Dad was Diplomatic Immunity on release date along with the Paid In full Soundtrack

 

[Tres Leches]

g unit grouped with lunatics an d12 ?

Diplomatic Immunity is better than anything them other nikkas ever put out. They just weren’t as popular with cacs like them others were.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Hmm, groups hanging on to A-list superstars at the time like 50, Nelly, and Em vs the group whose biggest star was B-list in Cam, we gonna be obtuse in how this works?
