The Diplomats Q & A With Miss Info: Cam’s Jay-Z Impersonations, The Roc-A-Fella Saga and More
Posted by Mikey Fresh under Videos[41] Comments
(Dipset looks back at their “I Really Mean It” video)
Dipset fans will love this. I took some time to further breakdown the epic stories told at last Friday’s Dipset panel with Miss Info. The Red Bull Academy hosted event produced so many hilarious moments, we had to revisit this. We already told you what went down here: Dipset Talks to Miss Info About the Roc-a-Fella Days, Mariah Carey and More.
But, here’s a segmented version of the highlights. Enjoy!
Video highlights with commentary from the session after the jump….
In this clip, Juelz and Cam talk about the drama that came with Blood flags being all in the “I Really Mean It” video. Freekey also points out that he’s wearing the chain he was shot over in the vid. Finally, Jim talks about his days as Dipset’s official video director.
Ahh, now it gets better. Here, Cam’ron introduces his Jay-Z impersonation. The hilarity begins at the 53 second mark. Cam breaks down his first time meeting Jay-Z, around when his first album dropped. And how Dipset felt under appreciated at Roc-A-Fella until Cam’s records started getting hot.
Moving along in the Dipset x Roc-A-Fella saga, Cam remembers recording “Welcome To New York City” with Jay-Z. Juelz was actually supposed to drop a verse, too, but couldn’t get his rhyme together fast enough, so he just ended up on the hook. There was also supposed to be a music video but once again Cam says Jay started acting funny when he asked him. This was actually the last time Cam and Jay shared a conversation.
The final straw came when Dipset was left off the Roc The Mic tour. In response, the guys showed up at various cities on the tour with like a hundred goonies in the crowd. This pretty much was the end of Dipset’s run at Roc-A-Fella.
Moving on, Cam recalls running into Destiny’s Child back in the day on 2 separate occasions. The first time, Cam didn’t even know who they were. But in another time on tour in VA, Juelz ran into DC’s dressing room just to see “what was poppin.”
Finally, Cam’ron shares the story of time he brought Mariah Carey to Harlem… classic!

Why is “Video 3” stated as “Private”?
October 3rd, 2011 at 10:24 am
my mistake, it should be public now
October 3rd, 2011 at 10:47 am
Cam has a great sense of humor
October 3rd, 2011 at 11:29 am
No Info, speak for yourself, you will love it. these irrelevant loser still talking bout jay. i bet jay hasn’t mention these dues names in private conversation in years. “they showed up with 100 goonies” $100*100= i’m sure hov appreciates the money and support. they cant put out a dip set album, why? juelz has contractual obligations with def jam. thats was the same contract cam was bragging about he sold to def jam for $2 mill and called juelz a slave. juelz isn’t making def jam any sure they’ll be happy to sell him back to Cam. But cam wants his money so he wont pay it. this dudes been teasing a mixtape for 3 yrs now. he has no work ethics.

didnt read lol
October 3rd, 2011 at 12:04 pm
So basically these guys spent more time complaining about Jay-Z and what he didn’t do for them. They should get together with Consequence and make an album calls Rocks At The Throne.
October 3rd, 2011 at 1:00 pm

October 3rd, 2011 at 2:33 pm
I remember when these guys really had things on Smash. I think I’ll wait and see if the full 2 hr interview hits the Internets cuz thus far I’m getting a lot of comedy, which is cool and why too much Jay-Z talk. So I’ll hold off on any more clips and hope that the full interview contains more depth.
October 3rd, 2011 at 2:47 pm
LMAO wow … this niggas is so dead in the water of the rap game that anything thing they do is more interesting when talking only about jay-z for hours…
SMH
October 3rd, 2011 at 3:32 pm
Deep throating Jay sum??!! All dude is recalling history! You might not recall but these dudes are a movement and some of these inside stories are a first to some ears even hardcore dipset fans
October 3rd, 2011 at 4:01 pm
LMAO!!!…Cons as the bonus though? LMAO!
October 3rd, 2011 at 4:04 pm

October 3rd, 2011 at 4:07 pm
wow the whole interview was 2 hrs??? if thats the case im good on it! i’ll take these little clips! the Jay stories (though a bit whiny,bitter, & bitchy) were entertaining! that Mariah story was a snoozer!
October 3rd, 2011 at 4:25 pm
dam i thought cam was cool with info.she riding for jigga mad hard.
October 3rd, 2011 at 5:08 pm
I’m always amazed at the conclusions folks jump to. How am I “riding” for anyone? And I’m pretty sure that one of the signs of being “cool with” someone is….being able to ask questions that they might not answer for anyone else.
October 3rd, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Stage 5 Stalkers
October 3rd, 2011 at 5:39 pm

October 4th, 2011 at 9:41 am
Wow, dipset giving it to you that deep and hard huh?
October 4th, 2011 at 9:48 am
Info,
this kid is buggin’! Even if you were on Jays team, what does it matter. Your job is to get both sides of the story, which you did. That’s journalism. You got your side of what you think, Dset’s side and Jay’s side. These guys were probably in Jays transition phase from child to man. i think Cam may have been correct on the Jay impersonations tho. Check State Property, although a movie, Jay portrayed that same person cam described. That’s funny! But, maybe they got they feelings hurt and gotta get it out. Time heals all wounds, NAAAAAHHHHH! i guess not for them. Anyways, you doing ya job! keep it lit! dont let it burn out.
October 4th, 2011 at 9:56 am
WHAT MUSIC? THEY AINT PUT A SONG OUT THATS WORTH REPPING!!! SINCE WHEN? They living off the whole ROC drift to keep em relevant
October 4th, 2011 at 10:08 am
Thats wild gay… Im not into homosex. U u think b4 u type, my comment wasnt jus 4 dipset haters it was for all haters. Its sad u would say sum shit like that lol I hope u not from ny talkin like that smh
October 4th, 2011 at 12:33 pm
Whateva, Take it how you like, pun intended… You a hater yaself for hating on what other people like and dislike, so how are you any better… You turned it to something like that, not me. Like i said take it how you like, but you are a nut away from being a jock strap… you know that right? just chill and quit hating yaself on others.
October 4th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
cam’s jigga impersonation > anything jim an lz had to say.
ill be specific.You were acting like there’s no way cam could have been humble going into the roc situation when it seemed like he was being sincere.
every time cam made reference to Jay acting funny you cut him off to make excuses for jay talking about cam is a alpha male and jay putting cam through initiation which doesn’t even make sense.
It seems like industry people walk on eggshells when it come to jay.as they should.brooklyn.
October 4th, 2011 at 12:58 pm
this made me laff
October 4th, 2011 at 1:31 pm
I see what you mean Flatbush, but….. SO WHAT!!! I like cam and the boyz, I like Jay, but that’s how jay was, not that i know him, but from the little scenes in the flicks. he gave cam his movie gasface. Cam kept coming back for more… They knew Jay wasnt down with the kid aspect of the game anymore. It riffed out before they came… They knew. so what was it suppose to be like. Jay’s the head, one of. he didnt do business like dame, now where dame? Thats the same scenario of a parent being friends with their kids. You just missing the point. True, jay may have been jerk chicken, but hey… How many times was cam jerk chicken.
October 4th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
yeap, thats one of the better part of his personalities. bad part= harlem materialism. my favorite quote was “dame dash a fast talking cat he looked Mariah up and down and asked how could you go in your closet and pick that out, shes responds “i dont pick clothes out my closet anymore i have them laid out” LMFAO
October 4th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
I do agree with that. That’s the only thing that was missing; the interview should have led up to a mini listening session into their new stuff. But I get it there were alot of un-answered questions never addressed. I still think they have great chemistry with miss info; they trust her journalism so its refreshing to see them just interact like if cameras weren’t there. Trust me alot of people switch up once the camera is on them.
October 4th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
u right i shudnt have used the word hate in my comments u right, but im not tryna hate on no one. i jus dont like ppl callin other ppl broke like wtf? everyone cant b as fortunate as others. but u keep resorting to homo shit smh. and for the record i never said i hate anybody jus hate actions every1 is entitled to their opinion, i never mentioned anybodies likes or dislikes, ur puttin ur own twist on what i said. maybe u shud read it again or dont. jus keep up the good work
October 5th, 2011 at 7:20 pm
So…are y’all gonna put up the whole convo in its entirety, or nah? Just asking.
