Will it work?

I am at heart a huge Cam'ron fan. I like his music on whole. I like the movement he started and all that and I like some of his beat selection. I definitely appreciate his swagger and cockiness. But after 'Purple Haze' and 'What The Game's Been Missing' I've found myself completely disheartened and confused by the whole Dip Set movement. Can they make an album? On my list, 'From Me To U' is the best ever Dip Set album and although it's a decent album it's really not great at all. That's followed by 'Diplomatic Immunity Volume 1' on my list which is very far from great. If I took Juelz's best career songs and made an album it would be classic and the same for Cam. But the same can probably be said for Jadakiss and Styles P. D-Block to me, are becoming the mirror Dip Set. Talented rappers who just "Lose". I don't want to call them "Losers" but I can't get with their excuse making mentality and their blame culture. They're way to insecure for me (not to mention the fact that I really, really don't believe them), I considered Dip Set to be the uptown, classier mixtape kings who had a greater understanding of "Music" and how to make "Music" into a full product. It's looking like I was wrong. Very wrong. Cam's Jay-Z diss was lame, I think in a year's time we'll laugh at how poor it was, the fact that Jay-Z's winning and Cam's losing while Cam keeps trying to throw shots is pathetic right? This is how the bit in the video for 'Takeover' would go "Do not bark up the tree the tree will fall on you". I'm sure that any minute Jay's gonna unleash Tru Life and Nas on Cam and effectively end Cam's career. It's a shame, but his timing is so bad.

 

The main reasons for my current Dip Set disgust are the 'Touch It Or Not/ Wet Wipes' videos and the Killa Season movie trailor
