Gritz N' Gravy: Dipset What's Going On!?!?

Friday - May 11, 2007
By: Gritz

I still haven completely figured out where I stand on recent rumors of a mutiny within the Dipset camp (Jim Jones Reveals Long-Running Beef With Cam'ron). On the one hand, I have been a heavy proponent of the "movement" since Diplomatic Immunity's first hit,
and it's sort of disheartening to see yet another rap crew dissolve over some nonsense. Of course, this is not just a hip-hop phenomenon, but just something that apparently happens in the process of becoming "famous." Just look at Guns 'N' Roses. (Juelz Santana is the Axl Rose of rap, yerrrme).

But on second thought, it wouldn't even be that bad. As much as I love Dipset, the actual albums they put out as a crew are admittedly pretty horrendous. I enjoy the idea of these dudes as a group; they have a lot of personality and seem to be vibing in a weird way linguistically, but on most occasions the product is much weaker than their respective solo efforts.

Furthermore, if the beef here really is 'twixt Jimmy and Cam alone, then I really see no reason to fret. The two Dipset "leaders" (what is this, Northern Ireland!?!?) rarely jump on a track together, and with the notable exception of "Certified Gangsta," their combined efforts are generally not the musical equivalent of selling the H on the block in front of H&R Block. They are more like selling magazine subscriptions outside Ross Discount Clothing.

Add that to the fact Cam doesn't seem to care about rapping anymore anyways, and what you've got is a mute point (no Helen Keller). Basically, this beef would just give Killa an extra boost in the Rap Special Olympics that seems to be competing in against... I don't know, really. Given each side's track record, no feud in history has had such great potential for unrestrained absurity.

In fact, my boy T. Honka B'Wonk and I caught an exclusive leak of Cam's diss track on Jim Jones last night on "Gritz FM." He was going at Jimmy pretty hard. We can't really remember it that clearly but we think it went something like this...

(To the "We Fly High" Beat)

Jimmy Blanco, raised in the Congo
That's why his breath kickin like a bucking bronco
He so grungy, like a homo monkey
He not ballin, he freeballin -- no undies.
King Jaffe Joe? You play hockey, yo.
DipSkate, stick tape, this dude got to go.
He was a best friend but he now he gonna act a ass
See Jim on Lennox Ave., don't stop, hit the gas.
You ain't at all tight, getcha some ackrite
Didn't put you in Killa Season, couldn't act right.
And you spit retarded, shit in ya armpits
Plus an IBS anus, no ricky martin.
You still gettin carded -- I mean green carded
Shave ya grimy ass beard Jim, you look foreign (forrreign)

Teeth ain't white
No lie
Yo breath smell like
GAAAAAARLIC
Armpits stink
Speed Stick
Go Wash them...

Now you rollerberbladin? (BLAAAADIN) no homo caucasian
See you on Venice Beach in skates and latex
Straight salacious, you straight imitation
Face it Jim, you played yourself worse than Flav did.
Lay some tracks down that ain't Haitian heinous
Cuz you say you ballin, but that's so 2k6, Playstation.
C'mom, we used to share chicken sandwiches for a dollar fifty
Now you on the phone, super drome, callin Fifty.
You hang with gangs a men, bangin nine-trey with them
But your hair lookin like a wet pomeranian
And now you singin? Damn, that's a shame to hear
Put you on "Harlem Idol," side stage, cheer for queers
You and Curtis together, moisten ya wife beaters
Two verses it's done, yeah just like "Ether."

Anyone else here that?!?!
