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

[Wild self]

Murphy Lee & Ali did not influence the culture to the degree of Juelz & Jim

Same for Bizarre & Proof

Jim Jones killed off baggy clothes at the height of superthug culture. That is beyond an impressive feat.

 

[28 Gramz]

Those other groups only sold because their leaders were literal megastars.

None of them had the impact of Dipset.

 

[Feed-Me]

Dipset wasn’t a Fame thing, it wasn’t about platinum albums…they had a street youth movement. I hate saying corny things like this but you had to be outside to see/feel it, pause. Not even just NY…I was in NC and VA all the time back then…everybody had on the pink and the stupid ass goofy strobelight earring and wore the bandana like Juelz, etc… One of the most influential rap groups on the street in history…more so than D-Block. Only ones who probably had the youth more in a choke was G-Unit…50 really

I remember Jeezy having good hold on the streets and yourh for a run too. I'm an 86 baby so had left school but remember those snowman ts evveeerywhere. Schools started banning em l

Always excuses for these nikkas Dipset get the most excuses I’ve ever heard in hip hop history.

The "movement" couldn't push a double album to platinum

Confuse him jones with Kanye brehs, Jim jones didn’t kill off or influence anything.


Ballin was a hard song though

 

[Lord Beasley]

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

Y'all nikkas love rewriting history

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

D12?…

 

[Kliq_Souf]

G-Unit had a bigger impact than Diplomats, let’s be real
mixtapes, all the solo albums sold and group album sold, Reebok sneaker, clothing line, video game, a 50 Cent led major motion picture

Feels like Dip members all reached their peaks outside the Dipset name

 

[Shogun]

worked in a middle school in Syracuse during the early 2000's and dip set was written everywhere.

 

[DaSk8D00D]

fukking stop it nobody on earth is listening to D12 and the St. Lunatics in 2024 or even 2010 for that matter

 

[god shamgod]

Them wakk ass st lunatics went platinum?! That’s wild , that shows how popular nelly was back then

 

[Street Knowledge]

The "movement" couldn't push a double album to platinum

In 2003 on a major record label

 

[Piff Perkins]

Sure. Any reason to hate on Dipset is good for me.

 

[Big Dick]

Disrespectful troll thread to lump the dips with the st lunatics and d12.

g unit had the best mix of commercial success and good music though. Banks solo albums better then any solo from dipset lol let along bringing 50 into the picture.
