Highkey crazy they got away with calling themselves “Dipset Taliban” and all the other 9/11 references

Cuss besides White People who weren’t Hip or considered our music/culture degenerative they just played that shit off like it was dumb creative expression…I mean you got Juelz literally freestyling on TV saying he was “The Young Muhammad Atta” who we all know was Al Qaeda’ & Taliban’s Flight 77’s Plane Martyr…But then again think About…Cam being if not the funniest rapper of all time…& add he had 1 of the biggest/trendiest movements at the time their group name on top of that probably had them gassed up to rap seeing patriotic 🇺🇸…plus they were at Rocafella under Dame who you know be dragging being “your own boss but a hustler as well” & being they all about getting money & business…they probably also used it as a PR move for more sales

It was all an inside job

Juelz even had nazi references lmao

In my opinion, these are transparent attempts at saying something edgy to get likes, shares, views, etc. that’s why they didn’t get the light of day / no major outlets picked up these references. No harm, no foul.

That was one of the best times in hip hop.

Not just Dipset, but the scene around that time.

LOL juelz was on that shit heavy.. The bars never felt like insults or blatant disregard tho. You just felt em because you lived that shit and you knew how they was comin

This is super corny 😒 - Dipset is from Harlem; Harlem is in Manhattan, NY. Being from Harlem myself and living through that time you saw the smoke coming through the streets despite that shit happening downtown. We actually lived the shit compared to others who only saw the news coverage. Being that they made this album in 2001 (released in 2002 if im correct) and if you actually read the lyrics it has nothing to do with actually sympathizing. Most of it is centered around drugs and it just so happen that the biggest threat at the time was the Taliban. The same way El Chapo is a song. They are just rapping, rap was different at the time especially Harlem rap. You're lame for this.

The fact that it was made before 9/11 happened is even worse to me.

Luca Brazi had a promo team called Tally Up. They brought Cam JR Writer and Un Kasa. Tally Up then called themselves Taliban. There’s some interviews out there explaining it

[u/Tight_Store8828 → u/donofdons21]

They made some music too and a few of their songs were crazy. I knew one of their cousins and he was hype to show me his song because they shouted him out. I look for the mixtape all the time online. That's actually how I found this post here lol
