Cam’ron says he probably wouldn’t have created Dipset if it were not for Master P and his movement.
“I used to observe these arguments, like, ‘N-ggas is really going crazy about n-ggas who’s in the same clique,’” Cam said of the No Limit hysteria invading New York City back in the day. “So I kinda took all that format to try to make the Diplomat brand,” he said on All The Smoke.
He continued: “N-ggas used to have No Limit fights on my block. N-ggas was in New York wearing camouflage. Master P had n-ggas going crazy. Mr. Serv-on, Mystikal, it got down with them n-ggas. Shaq was in the video. They talking about P got $400 million. N-ggas is going around buying fake tank chains. All type of sh-t. Master P had that sh-t in a frenzy.”
The Diplomats (Dipset) is a hip-hop collective formed in 1997 and was originally composed of Cam’ron, Jim Jones and Freekey Zekey, all of whom grew up together in Harlem. In 1999, fellow Harlem-based rapper Juelz Santana joined the group.
Cam’ron now has a popular sports podcast, It Is What It Is with Harlem rapper, Ma$e.
