Dipsets rise came from messageboard popularity unlike the others mentioned.
Look at the cruise that came out of New York prior to that. Nice to see Jim Jones and them at the tunnel all the time. They were on the outside, looking in of all these groups. An entire crew with none of them niqqaa could spit outside of Cam. It was all floss and being dripped….nothing else.
OK. But I was there. You weren’t.
No doubt in my mind you were experimented on
Correct. I was in culture club in Brooklyn in 94 when it was my man, Jay & foxy had a showcase. Kap was the DJ that night and Wendy Williams hosted the event. this was at a time that Jay and foxy Street team were in full effect and “ain’t no niqqa “ was starting to bubble. I was taking a break from school which is why I was there. My man, Jay and foxy were all on the level at that time. Unfortunately, my people didnt have the discipline that Jay and foxy had because they were serious while mh man’s and then were getting drunk backstage drinking Moet. My boy got on stage all drunk, slurring his words and shyt. After that foxy and Jay came out and killed it. I do have a funny story about Wendy and her husband trying not to pay Kap until my boy and ended up being ran out the club after my people gave them a message they couldnt refuse.WRONG nikka
Bruh...the make up of that group was an entire crew who couldn't spit outside of Cam. That aint a NY sound. That was NY fell off rap.

The biggest issue was my boy could not get past being on those streets as a Nostrand Avenue niqqa. Meanwhile Kap goes on to DJ at the Palladium with flex before moving into the tunnel. And I saw how what he & Flex spun showed who was next in New York. And when they both got in the tunnel to see foxy, and Jay on the stage was a graduation that made them New York official along with the help of being on radio (via Flex). That was how shyt worked in New York back in the day. On damn near every block there was a camp or clique of MCs all trying to make it record business. And it had to take that track from mixtape, your street team, playing at the local clubs, the radio, then the tunnel..
I was in big kaps entourage. I was at the tunnel every Sunday with him and flex. Who are you to tell me I’m off when I saw this play out for numerous New York MCs?
Yet you are here to tell ME that I’m off.
Congratulations. You are on my dikk.
This Cream of Wheat nikka talking about practically a whole different generation. Dips was catching steam when The Tunnel was on its last leg
See I don’t like saying this because Hell Rell and JR Writer were Dipset and they could rap and Juelz wasn't great but he had the Harlem swag when rapping. You’re looking from the inside in but looking from the outside is when you get perspective.
How does that lead to loss of regional sound?
