There's been rumours of chaos in the DIP SET DIP SET DIP SET DIP SET camp, mostly heartbreaking. But fuck it right, Cam'ron started all this shit, he showcased dem boys on catchy beats in the first place. He's the essence of Dipset. Well, prolly mixed with a little bit of Freeky Zeeky's fucked up sense of humour.
He's my favourite pop rapper, sure he rhymes about all the usual modern hip hop hoohaa but the way he does it is almost satire (definitely cult though) - over the top multisyllabized rhyme schemes, made up words or sounds, serious swagger even when delivering something ridiculously retarded, and misogny the size of Snoop Doggy Dogg's balls in his Doggystyle days. It's like he's just fucking around and making the most of the opportunity to talk nonsense since it's pop hip hop
Him and Dipset shined most in his
Come Home With Me album, it's my personal favourite at least. It's all about having the right beats. I guess back then he had the luxury of Roc producers. The Just Blaze banging catchy hype typa shit mixed with a little smoothness here and there works just well for Killa and his dope voice to swag on. Man fuck it, Just Blaze and Kanye West should give Cam special discounts, forget the rest, Kanye should stop rapping and concentrate on showing some instrumental love for the Dip leader while Just Blaze should put the
ron before the
gon (Saigon haha). I'm fucking sick and tired of listening to Cam'ron rhymin' on over-generic beats with over-enthusiastic hi-hats.
Recently he released this double disc mixtape entitled
Public Enemy Number 1 which had an abundance of those typa shit, low budget beats and all that. Fuck that, there are a few gems though, three songs in particular that am'a be pluggin' which I really like cause he's rapping on some smooth shit and good shit.
First off is this song
BAD DAY (feat. Tom Gist, who? Prolly new Dipset blood), where he flipped Ice Cube's
it was a good day's concept using that particular track's instrumental as well. Although Cube's original is that real piff, the beat is one of the best ever in the history of hip hop.
The other one is
I'M A HUSTLER BARRY, in which he rhymed on Barry White's
love's theme. It's sweet as fuck.
The other other one is this track
NO DELAYING. I'm not sure who's beat this originally is but listening to Cam spit on an old school drumbeat is pretty refreshing. We all love that old school loop. Fuck clap snares and annoying hi-hats.
As a bonus,
the shitty skit from the mixtape.
Okay, now we forget all that, let's go back, not so way back though, this was back when Ja Rule was what 50 Cent is now. If you've never checked out Cam'ron before, start with this one aight. This was before he started using annoying beats and way before Dipset blew up proper (cause this is where he started plugging his Dipset homies on a large scale hence sharing the limelight with them). Some of my favourite tracks from this album are
oh boy, daydreaming, hey ma, on fire (whaukhukgea funny ass track, best topical evva),
stop calling, and tomorrow.

Shit I'm feeling quite bonussy today. On some FLASHBACK tip, here's a bootleg I found of Children of the Corn. I'm still tryna download a proper album from them though, watch out for updates.
Children of the Corn - Harlem's Finest bootleg (1993).- Intro
- American Dream
- Harlem USA (freestyle)
- Studio Freestyle
- Freestyle
- Uptown Connection
Who're Children of Corn though? You might ask. They're A supergroup (considering the reputation of some of the emcees now) founded by Big L involving Murda Mase (Mase), Killa Cam (Cam'ron), McGruff and Bloodshed. Dope as fuck. Imagine if they're still around, daym, Big L and Killa especially, they were killin' it, fuck it even Mase was pretty good back then. Sadly Bloodshed and Big L passed away. More info
here.
That's that for now. I don't know what's the situation with Jim Judas Jones and Juelz Santana. I just watched Juelz going on an interview talking about loyalty, what? I'm not sure what he was mumblin', I don't know, I don't know the real situation, Cam hasn't been replyin' his gmail, am'a try the fax later. Fuck that shit. By the way, still on the Dip note, I checked Hell Rell's album. I thought it sucked ass, so whatever, no plug for you. Oh yeah before I go, yeah, fuck you fiddy cent. You suck ass, Kanye won over yo' ass, stop whining. You got beat by a tight panted metro homo. Wgheukahga.
As you see there's a buncha Rogue bwois up in this - Schizzow, SSK, and Familyboy.

This track I'm linkin' is from Illmaculate's Rain Check mixtape, entitled "blazin'". The beat is annoying as fuck but his raps is dope, the flow, the lyrics and shit, the swag, he's got lines, and the fucking Sco''ish accent, don't fuck with that. He's got more tracks up on his myspace but since we live in this country we can't hear it but last year I managed to listen to a few and they're very sick since he's rhymin' on mostly jazzy beats that are dope as shit and shit. Whatever. About the Illmaculate mixtape, most links are deaded prolly cause it's on sale, but it's dope, so find it yourself. For now >>BLAZE THIZ BA SHIT<< doggy.
It's pretty dope actually, hardcore spittage from the whole crew, mostly on known instrumentals. If you're curious as to how dope Australians can get check this out cause honestly I've checked out some other more marketed Ozzie hip hop before this (even went to a live show when onna them visited KL) and wasn't too hooked. This shit is pretty fire though. And I'm out.
