Harlem Hip Hop titan Cam’ron recently spoke to MTV’s RapFix about the highly anticipated Diplomats reunion and their upcoming album, due out sometime this later year. He spoke about the Diplomats’ current work ethic in the studio, and how he, Jim Jones and Juelz came to produce their 2010 AraabMuzik-produced single “Salute.”
“Jim’s got a good work ethic,” he said. “His work ethic is crazy. He’s in the studio all the time. I’m in the studio. The producer AraabMuzik is signed to DukeDaGod. Araab went and took Jim some beats. I already had the beat [for ‘Salute’]. Jim said, ‘Let’s do something to this.’ We got it done.” (MTV.com)
Cam’ron added, “It wasn’t no big story behind [recording ‘Salute’]. He sent me the record, I did it. He went to Juelz’s studio, I knocked it out. Jim comes by my crib where the studio at. We sit down for two, three hours, and we go in the basement and knock the songs out. I’m not gonna sit here and act like some spaceship landed or a boat docked. Jim comes by the house, we go in the basement, we smoke, do the song, that’s it. We go back in another two, three days and do the same thing.” (MTV.com)
The Diplomats’ upcoming third group LP isn’t the only project that Cam’ron has lined up for this year. He is also preparing to release Gunz ‘N’ Butta this March 8 with the U.N. cohort Vado.
A video of the interview can be seen below.
yah, im sure jim jones work ethic great,its hard work coming up with uninspired lyrics and hack flows
whats a hack flow ?
yo is cam chillin at the laundy mat or what? he probably owns that shit
Glad that Dipset back together. Looking forward to their new music.
I like Juelz, Vado, and Araab’s beats, but I cant stand Jim Jones. Worst rapper EVER. The lyrics of Jim Jones is an embarrassment. I probably won’t end up buying the album for the reason I wouldn’t listen to it because of Jim Jone’s garbage lyrics.
jim jones is a monster on the track because if not how he makin money doing it just because one person dont feel what he spits dont make it garbage learn the way of music befor attacking someones profession fact of the matter is he is the pro and evryone else who aint doin it is haters and it does take hard work to come up some of the lyrics that you listen too but with that being said all lyrics were inspired by something that you,me,or whoever is spittin fire has seen, heard ,or even experianced
Jim Jones is Trash! Don’t even try to drop that Hater word within the contexts of that butchered paragraph of yours.
It is NOT hard work coming up with lyrics. Doing a heart transplant with a fever running, is hard. Making words rhyme and mean something inspiring to the listener, is the LEAST a paid “professional” SHOULD do. The fact that Jenny Jones can’t even bring to the table what is required of him as a rapper, makes Dipset wack.
I will not buy their CD, and I hope others won’t either. The only reason Jenny even has paper, so that, “fans”, can claim he is a “professional”, is because of Max B.
If Jenny weren’t such a bitch ass nigga, Max probably wouldn’t have needed to rob some niggaz for $30,000 and end up in the bin for 75 years.
All so this talentless mofo can sign in to Hiphopdx, pretending to be a fan, and write, from a third person prespective, “…it takes hard work to come up with some of the lyrics….”.
Nigga, please!
What’s this.
What’s this? All these ‘no one cares’ bozos are putting out more trash for us white eminem fans? *who are the ones who really listen and actually **DOWNLOAD their stuff (cause really, who’d pay?)
Rap is wack because all these hasbeens are fucking it up for the new crowd. Maybe you don’t understand retirement. Lil Kim is one and all the way down the line.
Paul, the white guy from Yonkers, who will no longer buy this trashy stuff.
