Even though the Diplomats’ long-awaited reunion LP has been nothing more than rumor mill fodder for a few years, that doesn’t mean the Dips are back on bad terms. Now, in a recent editorial with SOHH, rapper Jim Jones talks about his Harlem partners Cam’ron and Juelz Santana.
In a recent editorial piece, Jim Jones listed his top five favorite rappers in the game, naming the likes of Fabolous, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross. His Dipset brethren topped the list, however, with Jim declaring Cam “the best rapper” and saying that Juelz could have been bigger than Jay-Z.
“I’m going with Juelz Santana. I always told Juelz he could be greater than Jay-Z ever was. That boy is super talented. Listen to everything he’s done and what his music says,” he said. “I gotta name Cam’ron. I think Cam is the best rapper. Period. I’ve known Cam and I’ve grown up with him. I’ve seen, lived and witnessed all the things that his music is about. So you can’t beat that at all. That’s actual and factual.”
Check out the full list over at SOHH.

Okay, he is jokin, right ? There’s gotta be some beef between them, so he’s sarcastic. If not … i need some of that shit he be smokin’ on ASAP!
Get…………
The…………
Fuck………..
Outta……….
Here………..
Hey Jimmy stop being Greedy its Puff Puff Pass my Nigga!
Theres no Doubt that theres other Rappers out there that Mightve been or can be better than Jay Z….but Juelz is Definitely NOT one of them….
Wow i needed a good laugh.
me to!!!!!!!
eastside ftw
Killa!
He did two other interviews a few years ago were he says Nas and Jay-Z are the best. lol
Exactly i remember that shit. And Cam’ron is supposed to be Nice like Nas or JayZ but that nigga have been falling of since SDE and Confession of Fire. Back in those days Cam use to spit that real shit. Alot of real substance and content. Now that nigga Cam be spitting about a bunch of bullshit. He still is aight tho but that nigga is far from the nicest nigga. In fact ima say it that nigga Cam is wack to me now.(he do pick out hot beats.)
I understand what Jimmy is saying about Jewels. Jewels got some shit with him lyrically and alot of people don’t understand. But that nigga is far from Jay-Z level. More importantly Jewels is only good for about 5 hot songs a whole album. He is one of those dudes who can rhyme but need alot of guidess making a complete song.
Jim shut your ass up. dickriding your homeboys means nothing. the worst part is I think Juelz Santana is alright at best and I been waitin to hear shit from him for a minute, now this nigga’s comin out here runnin his mouth
Hate to say it but Dip Set is done for. Not to many people care about these niggas. 6 years ago Jim Jones actually had a little run going on for himself. But its pretty much over for him now. Cam need to push that Vado nigga out. He got potential to be hot but the rest of them dude is washed up and i hate to say.
Jimmy better hope his show with his Girl(Chrissy i swear he could get a better bitch then her she is worthless) cause this music shit niggas don’t care about him. And i say that cause i heard some nice singles from him but no one is bumping that shit.
SmH.
He Needs To Lay Off The Damn Pills.
Or Get On Them.
I Don’t Know What’s Wrong With That Boy.
Its really too bad cuz Dipset was the ticket like 6 years ago but I hope these guys invested well. If not they can always get free beats from @ChrisRomanMusic who always says #FuckYourBeats cuz the new dispet beats are gabbage
Nice plug!
Jim is fuggin delusional for this one.
You crazy for this one, Jimmy! *Jigga voice*
Juelz can’t even drop a simple fuggin mixtape, and he got the potential to be “greater” than Hov ???
Jim, you sir are out of your mind.
can some one please tell Jim Jones Junior Mafia is looking for him and tru life be out soon, that art to make him shut the hell out with the BS
…Just say no to drugs…This boy on that bath salt…
crack is a heluvva drug
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
wow. this dude is desperate….just got to say something ignorant to stay relevant
Jim must of been high,all 3 of them can’t f–k
with Jay!!!!!
i totally fucking agree with you its the ROCCCCCCCCC fuck dipset
Juelz is garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow look at all the irrelevants posting hate. I’m sure your 9-5 sux and your social life is even worse. You all are a bunch of haters dissing artist who earn real cash at their craft. To all those putting these skilled emcees ( they get paid to do this, you don’t) down, I ask what do you do for a living? Exactly…quit snitchin and stop the hate…bunch of crabs, get out of the bucket without pulling someone else down.
Who gives a fuck how much money they (supposedly)make. As fans/comsumers,the only thing we need to worry about is the music they put out because thats what we get out of it all. . Thats so woman-like of u to idolize and virtually brag about anothers mans financial status. And we’re sure YOUR 9-5 and social life sucks if u are sitting here breathlessly glorifying that they make money and everybody else doesnt….FUCK OUTTA HERE.. grow a pair
Jim jones what have u been smoking juelz santana is like the shitest rapper alive!
Cam’ron has always been nicer than Jay and Juelz is nicer too. It’s too bad their business slowed them up. If Jay would have responded to Cam’s diss, Cam would have destroyed Jay’s career and Jigga knew that.
jay a pussy and everybody know it. jay would say his one lines here and their but no names. cam track against jay was hot. who can fuck wit me no mammal but i toute handles at your open toe sandals plus you look like joe camel. Jay wasnt wit it. he already took an l wit nas. cam track against nas was fire too. disrespected the kings and neither tried to response. niggas can front all they want but they didnt response cuz they knew that cam could spit. Im not saying cam is better than them in terms of the music they put out. im just saying that cam can spar with them.
Cam Jim n Julez all of them trash
no fuckin way. you cant even put these nigguz in the same sentence as Jay-Z. Juelz never had a classic album. Matter of fact, Juelz aint put an album out since 05!!!!! this nigga jim jones a pussy anyway so his opinion doesnt count
BITCH! SHUT THE FUCK UP! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE – EAZY E
Yea I dunno about that Jim, I like Cam and Juelz but better then Jay that may be a wild statement… About Cam I think he meant since he came up with him and dats his boy so he is bias and feels he the best like showin his loyalty to Cam.
Juelz…. Like I said wild wild statement… Jay doesnt even have to pull out majority of his catalog to smash anyone. He can jus sit back and pull out Reasonable Doubt and be like Juelz what you did in your whole brief career I can smash with my first LP….
C’mon Jim really? NOTHING Juelz has done comes close to anything Jay has done. And im solely speaking musically. Compare Juelz to somebody else. And cam the best rapper? FOH ! Not wit his nursery school rhymes
I think Jay-Z is nothing special.
Annoying voice and weak beats.
But he is 1000 times better than these idiots.
They are even worse.
Jim Jones please do not do “Bath salts” and do interviews signed a very concerned fan ..now thats actual and factual ..
Nigga Please!
HIPHOPDX is this news relevant? This site is getting more and more a GOSSIP site for attention whores
yo muthafucka u can kiss Cam’s ass.
Fair play Jim Jones.
Jigga decent no more then four good albums. Purple haze crime pays and killa season were all fukn dope. Jay is just aslick talker on the track.
first 2 albums yes.. killa season SUCKKKKKKED
killa season was hot. better than the shit out today
I needed a good laugh this morning and this provided it.
Hahahaaaaa.
He was joking, obviously.
Both of them are a joke.
50 Cent ethered Camron. There wont be any comeback for that nobody.
& Juelz Santana, another bum. What he does do? Hang around with other Z listers smoking weed & going to clubs.
Pair of musical frauds & it shows how stupid & gullible people are.
50 cent ethered cam. foh. 50 eithered himself
Niggas must not remember how Juelz was killin tracks when he was younger. At first I though he and wayne were goin to take over the game, but that nigga got lazy and wayne smartened up and starting putting out bullshit cause he knew niggas were goin to buy his shit jus because he was lil wayne lol. Back when juelz was younger i wouldve defended that statement jim jones made, but now heeeell no. Juelz should’ve, could’ve, would’ve been better than jay z, but he didn’t and he never will be now. And cam’ron not even the best spitter in dipset so how is he the best rapper period? lol
Jimmy! what da fucf? we all know Lil Wayne is da best rapper alive, and he is greater den Jay-Z old ass nigga. Drake, Gucci, Rick Ross and Waka are Top 5 rappers. swag
Lil wayne the best rapper alive? Along with the likes of Drake, Gucci and Rick Ross? For real?! I want some of that weed you’re smoking!
Best rappers= EMINEM, NAS, RAKIM, BIG DADDY KANE, ICE CUBE, 2PAC. End of. Point la ligne.
When ya album droppin’?
I think quite a few raappers are superrior to Jay, but Jay is still a great, especially on his nineties albums.
“I’m going with Juelz Santana. I always told Juelz he could be greater than Jay-Z ever was – Jim Jones
BWAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
(leaves to serve niggas what this nigga been smoking)
Dude is clearly sniffing that glue.
Yo, gather round Explainhustlers – that’s if you still livin
And get on down to that ol’ Jig rhythm
Here’s a couple of jewels to help you get through your bid in prison
A ribbon in the sky, keep your head high

Mouthpiece for hustlers – I’m back, motherfuckers

Hov’ a soldier, Hov’ been fightin’ all his life so
What could you do to me? It’s not new to me
Sue me? Fuck you, what’s a couple dollars to me?
But you will respect me, simple as that
Or I got no problem goin’ back
I’m representin’ for the seat where Rosa Parks sat
Where Malcolm X was shot, where Martin Luther was popped
So off we go, let the trumpets blow
And hold on, because the driver of the mission is a pro

So what your life is?
We gon’ roll ’til the wheels fall off – y’all muh’fuckers check the tires
Off we go, let the trumpets blow
And hold on, because the driver of that Bentley is a pro
The ruler’s back
To all the youngn’s talkin smack, even Hov himself called Juelz the next Jay Z back when From Me To U dropped on Rocafella…before he started drinking too much cough syrup, Santana was one of the best young rappers doing it.
Was is the key word, but everyone makes mistakes. Juelz was nothing close to Jigga.
Rappers say alot of things in the heat of the moment. Would you believe Eminem if he said Joe Budden’s next album would go platinum in a week? Juelz was never super talented to begin with. He had opportunities, but alot of mediocre rappers have opportunities. At some point, you just have to look at somebody’s body of work (or lack of it) to decide where their place in hip hop is.
News to jimmy….juelz is a mixtape artist just like papoose…dont ever mention HOVS name and any of dipset in the same sentence…and lil weezy will never be great because he has ghost writers and hes a bubble gum rapper, but if thats what yall like then fuck it…
#mrlampkin
Mr. Lampkin
I f*cks with Jimmy but he’s outta his damn mind when he says Cam is the best ever and Julez could be greater then Jay. Chrissy got his mind all f*cked up! Lol
I want some of what Jones is using. Juelz had his little buzz and that’s about it. Whadeva man
come the fuck on, greater than Jay-Z? seriously, son?
Reaaaaaallly ????? Dipsets raps are boring as fuck … They always have been and will continue to be
Damn Dipset must have been living in the cave with Osama Bin Laden saying stupid shit like that. Lets just listen to each others music till we feel like we the best! gtfoh
“Juelz IS better than Jay-Z!!” – Said no one ever
NEGRO, PLEASE
Maybe greater than Beans and Bleek, but Jay Z? Whatever you’re smoking Jim, cut back.
NEGRO PLEASE!!!!!! You need to keep collecting your girlfriends reality show checks cause your hip hop career and that whole Vampire nation garbage is superlame
He must be smoking that ish his momma smoke cause he sound about as cracked out as she looks
This dude is a retard!
damn u from NY and u never listened to biggy??!? bec u would know u should never get high on ur own supply LOL
I do like Juelz, What the Game’s Been Missing has some great shit on it and his tape with Wayne is a classic tape in its own right. Jones is on something comparing him to Hov…but what can u expect. He was always the weak link in Dipset, shit even Freeky Zeeky was better than him, lol.
GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH DAT SHIT!!!! BETTER MY ASS
Yo manJay-Z is washed out even when Cam got signed to ROC Jay felt threaten Cuz Cam was giving that nigga competition you feel me bruh!! The Diplomats has been one of the best Rapp Groups in NY after the Wu-Tang Bruh and thats sum real FAct
They aight but i wouldn’t compare them to no Wu-Tang. And its a Shame this nigga Jimmy is from Harlem Claiming niggas like Lil Wayne and Rick Ross as the best niggas in the game. That nigga is really dick riding. Jimmy aint never been no great lyricist but he makes good music sometimes. Im actually not suprised he is a fan of Wayne and Ross cause they simple like Jimmy.
Even I have to agree with you there. THIS NIGGA DELUSIONAL thinking Wayne and Ross are top 5 rappers! The dickriding for these fake rappers has gone waaaaay too far!
people forget about eminem cus blacks wont admit hes the best
