Im tired of writing/advocating for the dips as it feels like a nil admission.
Rode for these guys the hardest since 02, but their reunion coming into fruition, being a realist... Is all a pipe dream now.
And the thing about juelz is his stretch from 03 to 07, his work ethic was insane. Then as soon as he crashed his bently, his life changed for the worstest.
And ill be honest, i havent enjoyed anything from cam since killa season (his 3 album stretch from CHWM, PH to KS was unprecedented... And the diplomat compilations/mixtapes that released between that time frame was aural jesus).
Jim was always entertaining!
Associated/affiliated acts were an ensemble never before seen since Wu's tour de force:
Dipset team b (cal, jr, kasa, hell rell - this secondary unit would rap circles or can hang with many of hiphops elite squads!!!), Euro Gang, 730 dips, Purple City, Byrdgang, Taliban, Senate.
Man, i used to sleep, eat, breathe these guys.
Dips were there for me when i was down on my worst.
They help inspire me with drive, ambition and determination when i was struggling all by my lonesome and helped me out the gutter, like a dead bird who found a new and turned into a phoenix and rose from the ashes, beaming through the skies with trailing flames.
Except... It wasnt a phoenix that took over my soul.
What represented my aura in a consummated form was the spirit of an eagle. But not just any eagle...
The Dipset Eagle.
i got in tuned with the movement ever since. And i swore from that fateful day at bestbuy in march 2003 when i copped Diplomatic Immnunity, i knew i would forever identify myself with the movement so piffaliously powerful:
It'll put pools in the back, see?
Umph.
