“Dip-set! Dip-set! Dip-set!” If you read that in a certain chant-like way that emphasizes the second syllable, then you’re one of many that’s been waiting for the reunion tour of The Diplomats, the crew formed by Cam’ron and Jim Jones in the late ‘90s. The Harlem World hustlers went on to popularize a slow multi-syllabic style of rap that almost sounded like spoken word and made stars of folks like Juelz Santana. Add Killa Cam’s comical quotables and you’ve got the recipe for a style worth re-visiting.
