Jim Jones has hinted at a TV series that chronicles the early days of The Diplomats before they rose to fame in Hip Hop.

During a conversation on DJ Self’s Apt. 5H talk show, Capo revealed he’s flirting with the idea of developing a Dipset series that would focus on the Harlem crew’s pre-fame beginnings.

“You got a talk show, I’m about to give you the Dipset 5H TV series,” Jim told DJ Self. “I think I’ma do that ‘cause the shit that went on in 5H before we became the players we were, you n-ggas need to see.”

He added: “We was reckless. Young, dumb and stupid, but we was having a ball.”

The Diplomats were formed in the mid 1990s with its original members Cam’ron, Jim Jones and Freekey Zekey, who all grew up together in Harlem. Juelz Santana would join later on in 1999, and from there the group took off, landing a record deal with JAY-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records in 2001.

The rest is history, as Dipset would become one of the most successful and influential rap groups of all time thanks to both their solo and collective output, not to mention their iconic fashion and swagger.

This isn’t the first time one of The Diplomats has hinted at making a TV show or documentary on the group. Last May, during the celebration for the 20th anniversary of his Come Home With Me album, Cam’ron spoke about doing a Dipset movie.

However, he revealed he wasn’t exactly bowled over by the deals that were offered to him and his band of brothers by production companies.

“They offered us deals before or offered me deals as well. I rather shoot it with my money, my way,” Cam said during a Q&A session with media personality Wayno. “They’ll come to you like, ‘Yo, we’ll give you a percentage of the Diplomat movie.’ And I’m like, ‘Ok, what’s the percentage?’ And they’re like, ‘We’ll give you 10, 15 percent.’”

He added: “How you going to give me 10 percent of my story? That shit don’t even be making no sense to me sometimes. I’m like, ‘Aight, I’ll fund it and y’all take the 10 percent and do distribution.’ But they’re not used to n-ggas talking to them like that.”
