Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[Maximus Meridius]

Never seen anybody dressing like Cam. I mean Cam stopped being active around 06. All rappers pretty much dressed alike 2001-2005. Jerseys, long Tee's, etc.

Hov definitely changed how people was dressing. Jim Jones did, Pharrell and Kanye did.

Hov started Pause. He was saying that on the Dynasty album.

Cam definitely started a couple slang though.

1. So 2 gay references....

2. Cap >>>>>>>> Ducktales

3. Pink????? I mean I guesssssssssss?????????

We don't believe you, you need more people.

Cap is so ****in wack. My head still hurts from hearing Math and Esso yell cap 50 times in 10 minutes.

I was 15-17 during the height of the Dipset era,they were huge in New Orleans, had ’s rocking pink and canary yellow diamond earrings from the beauty supply Diplomatic Immunity was stamped especially when they sampled “Bout it,Bout it”

Dips were huge in Baltimore, when I was coming up. Hence the SN.

My crew listened to ALL the affiliates . And *****s was def dressing like them. Influence was real.

It’s funny, a dude I grew up with, older brother started beefing with Jim Jones. The videos still up til this day . Here is the CEO explaining this. Straight comedy lmao. Velvet Rope/Dubai days. What a time





And then the chick Keyz, beefing with Nicki Minaj in the same year lmao. Video at like 4 mil views. Crazy frshstunna remember when shorty and her ratchet *** friends came round the way, and ****** put em out ?

Pause and no homo was a thing when I was in junior high school, much before the Dips popularized it.

It’s a Harlem thing.

True you right it is a Harlem thing.

Had *****s cold as ****, rocking thermals under some small t shirts, with some crazy bootcut jeans .

It was funny when the “party like a rockstar” guys (and the entire industry) tried to adopt that look. That’s when the South, was SOUTHING with the clothes . Cuz this ain’t that lol

A few of my homies and cousins here in Cali were definitely dressing like Cam.

Meanwhile I had on the extra baggy jeans with a button up and a fitted on. Thanks Hov

 

[blacklion23]

Dipset was a movement, just not one I was feeling. My dudes in Adamsville tho, they were all in lol. Hell, a lot of Atlanta dudes were lol. From what I recall tho, most of em really rocked with Jim Jones the most.
