How They Self Destructed | Camron VS Juelz & Jim Jones
Ever heard of the saying Too Many Cooks Spoil The Broth?? Well that also applies to overly large rap groups as well; especially when there appears to be more than one head chef in the kitchen. Today's topic of discussion had more cooks than albums and the group; ironically called The Diplomats or The Dipset Crew; fell into chaos the more they recruited new rappers. Originally riding into the rap scene on the coattails of Cam’Ron’s success; the group (at the time consisting of the original lineup Cam’Ron; Jim Jones; Freeky Zekey and the late-joiner Juelz Santana) released an album that gained Gold certification barely two months after release. They seemed set to be the next big group in rap but it all came crashing down within years after they added three more members; Hell-Rell; .40 Cal and J.R. Writer. The group soon suffered artistic differences; releasing just one more album two years later; affiliating themselves with even more artists in the form of Jay Bezel; Stack Bundles; Kat Williams and Jha Jha and disbanding shortly after. The group reunited several times over the course of the split; but only released one more album almost fifteen years later. While the crew never really beefed with any other rap collectives they had plenty of internal feuds and that’s what we are discussing today. So without further adieux; lets get into those conflicts!!
