The Diplomats: The Title Stays In Harlem Review



First off why can Dipset release one bangin Mixtape right after another but when it comes to making Albums they can't do? The Movement Moves On, & More Then Music Vol.2 were horrible, Diplomatic Immunity and Diplomatic Immunity 2 were good albums & More Then Music Vol.1 was there best album. None the less The Title stays in Harlem Is Dipsets best outting, to bad it is only a mixtape which means not to many people will hear it. Not to many people hear Dipset albums anyway but you get my point.

1.Intro

Interesting intro, Various news audio clips on the shooting and attempted carjacking of Cam'Ron. Very funny that someone tried to carjack a Gold & Platnium selling artist. It could of done without Killa Cam talking shit but this is Dipset

2.Get Em Daddy (RMX)- Cam'ron ft. Hell Rell, Jim Jones, & JR Writer

Everybody brings it on this track. I'm in love with Jim Jones's voice. Rell did upset me with his mister ruger ruger line but Writer makes up for it by having one of his best verses right after Rell's flub. Cam'Ron talks about the shooting, Cam should talk about reality more often as he is back at spitin hood saga's then unclever wordplay.

3.Its Nothing - Cam'ron ft.juelz Santana

Cam has been better on the last to tracks then he has been on all of Killa Season. Way does he only spit good lines on Mixtapes or Purple Haze. Juelz like always spits crack, like he says It's Nothing.

4.Love My Life - Cam'ron ft. Nicole Wray

The normal Cam'Ron came from nothing to something growing up in the hood song. To date there have been only to great growing up in the hood songs Ghostface's "All That I Got Is You" & Rza Ft. Masta Killa "Grits" and this is the third. after those hard as tracks way put this one after them it doesn't fit in.

5.Freestyle - Hell Rell

What would a mix tape be with a out a freestyle and this one has three, featuring the three unsung heros of Dipset (Hell Rell, 40 Cal., & JR Writer) Rell starts off with a tight ass sing song flow then just rips the beat a new asshole

6.Big Song - Juelz Santana, Lil Wayne, Notorious B.I.G.

I love the sampled Halloween sample everyone on here brings the heat. this might be the last Lil wayne track before every black kid in high school acted like he just came out and hasn't been sround for almost ten years. Juelz brings it with his raw intensity. The Biggie verse fits in great here, better then his one on Ghost's Three Bricks. Hot hook too.

7.Murder Murder - Jim Jones

Tight ass Welcome to Jamrock sample plus Jones brings that same raw style he brought on Lil flips Ya'll Don't Want It now only if he brought it like that every time, he be a not a good MC but a great mc. and he didn't spit that many bars either but the energy made it great.

8.What You Want To Talk About – 40 Cal. ft. A-Mafia

typical Dipset dramatic piano loop, with hood saga ryhmes about how dipset the best. This should of been on The Movement Moves On that how bad it is.

9.Pushin - JR Witer & 40 Cal.

Two of Dipset's most consistent rappers performing a duet yep excellent fucking tracking I find it funnty that they sandwiched a bad track in between to magic tracks.

10.Best oF Both Hoods - Juelz Santana ft. Young Jeezy

As much as I like three 6 Mafia's "StyFly but Santana and Jeezy utterly destroy this track and every time I hear the Three 6 Song I'll think of this one which is the beeter one.

11.Mesmerized (RMX) - JR Writer ft. CL Smooth

Better then the origianel, Both come out running and nieher slow down.

12.From Bottom To Top - Juelz & Linkin Park

Sweet Sweet Chlid O'Mine Sample I love this track should of been on album hell should been a single Santsann out does him self his speeds up his flow in the middle of a verse then brings it back to normal, damn way can't he do that all the time that's what i'm tlking about with Dipset they are all sweeting greatness on mixtapes but the suck balls on the group albums.

13.Mariah Remix - Cam'ron And Juelz Santana ft. Mariah Carey

Didn't like this sounded too radio pop-rap come back home i'm sorry rap.

14.I Aint Wit It - Jha Jha ft. Jim Jones

Good fuckin beat. Now i'm no fan of Jha Jha but I like on this track and as always when Jones brings his A game there is no reason to hate, Jimmy isn't Gza or raekwon his not good when he gets lazy. Jha Jha's flow if great I fell in love her for her 16 thats how good her verse was.

15.Dipset The Realest - Hell Rell

The Audio is horrible but that might just might be my copy, but other then the disturted audio still a good track.

16.Go Go Go – 40 Cal. ft. Bezell & Peedi Crack

Any thing Peedi touches turns to gold, and with Cal. it's pretty much them same but like the rest of Dipset he's hit or miss so you don't know what your gettin till you hear the track. I like this song but the beats a poor mans neptunes.

17.Line Of Fire - Hellrell & JR Writer

Amzing hook this is how you do a new shcool New Yoork Gangsta track, I love it.

18.3 Pots On A Stove - Chubby Baby, ft. Hellrell & JR Writer

I love the Final Countdown sample, Chubby Baby is fucking good and Rell & Writer do their thing to the fullest. Great track.

19.G's Up Remix - Jim Jones ft. Max, Mel Murder

Hard hittin track, a standard Mixtape track which makes it so great a major label artist (Jones) rappin with two of his boys from Harlem who can actulley rap.

20.Freestyle – 40 Cal.

Love the piano sample, 40 Cal makes my eyes tear up thats how good his freestyle is,

21.Do Your Thing - Cam'ron

Only three (if you don't count the intro) tracks with Cam'ron on them as a founding member of Dipset he never really gets involed in the effects of the group as a collective. With that being said it's good track it so such a great Cam track it might of been recorded in 2002.

22.Freestyle - JR Writer

The Last freestyle, last song and best beat. really good track.

Overall: on'ly three bad tracks really good for a Diplomats album, this was released two years ago right before Dipset fell off so no doubt it would be good but this is a really good Mixtape there best release mixtape or album cop it anyway possible it's a great Mixtape a really great mixtape.
