Cam's verse was the best part of the freestyle when I heard this when I was a teenager in the early 2000 and 23 years later it's still the best part of the freesstlyle
There's still real spitters out there today, you're just not looking hard enough. The Griselda cats, Ka, Roc Marciano, Your Old Droog, Ransom, Mach Hommy, etc etc.
Best thing I love about this era was the competition between all the artist. Any one of them weren’t scared to go at each other. Something you don’t see these days

Woulda been super cancelled if they made this freestyle in 2022 😂. "Young Mohamed Atta no plane lessons, cocaine lessons to supply the towers" This is back in the days when hip-hop didn't have to follow the mainstream discourse.
My AK was my AKA Before my ABC's and had me A' Ok I'll show u how to make 2 million out ya deal For the right price I could get you out ya deal Smack ya CEO That's when the teck is soarin $4 mil from Def Jam & I ain't sold a record for 'em
There was another version of this exact video (same intro and everything) that was uploaded a few years before this one and it had over a million before it got deleted. But you still right.. this is arguably the most legendary freestyle in the basement history. It should’ve been at 50 mil
Born in 94 so by this time i was consciously listening to hip-hop (it was always around in my house) but being able to actually appreciate the craft was so important. Dipset set the standard for me personally in regards to Swag, Culture only a few others did the same for me Kanye, Lil Wayne and of course the great Jay-z salute to the LEGENDS !
In case you haven't heard Dipset before now, this cypher highlights the MASSIVE gap in talent between Cam and everyone else. Bro carried the hell out of this group.
In case anybody wants to argue that Cams ain’t off top, here’s the description from Genius: “This highly acclaimed track has variously been dubbed the best Rap City freestyle ever, as well as the best Dipset freestyle. While Jones' verse and a part of Santana’s verse appear elsewhere - on “Beautiful Noise” and “Okay Okay” respectively - Cam'ron’s now-iconic contribution is completely “off the dome.”
It comes down to your definition of freestyle. Some people think it's off the top which is dope but I say it's adjusting a verse to whatever beat you're flowing on. But there is fair arguments on both sides
@@thugger-vandrossis clearly not off the dome homes, it’s still beautiful but he just ain’t use it in no song that don’t mean it’s not written, he was reciting
Still one of the greatest freestyles of all time!!! Killa Cam really brought that heat whilst Jurors Juelz just really repped the block big time and uncle Jimmy just solidified why they were they hottest squad out at the time!!! LEGENDARY SHIT!!! gotta respect how Cam is busy counting stacks whilst putting down what's real and what's not!!
My AK was my AKA before my ABC's and had me A OK. I'll show u how to make 2 million out ya deal for the right price I can get u out ya deal. Smack ya CEO that's when the tech is soaring $4 million from def jam and I aint sold a record for em!!! DAMN cam murdered it SHIT!!!!! Killa
@@EECErik is that why he said "thats when the tech is soaring" stocks. I get he ripped off Def Jam but without a stock trade it seems foolish to burn a bridge, but hey, camron hasnt gave a f in awhile.
Cam is just ridiculous, i would say this is hiphop hall of fame shit. Definitely in the top five freestyle of all time with this. delivery, rhymefrequency, rythm, everything is over the top.
One of the best moments in hip hop history. Damn wish these guys stayed together like the lox. Literally history in the making when they worked together
I’ll always find my way back to this freestyle year in and year out. True lyricism and it’s a walk down memory lane when bars were prevalent and your wordplay was everything. Salute the real MC’s 🫡
Cant believe this only has 174k views. Cam got colder when he stopped counting. Rap City should be brought back as a youtube channel. Drop weekly episodes. Real rappers not just people riding a wave mumbling shit.
Best rapcity freestyle ! Not even close. Cam is a wizard with the word play. “Weed and a four wheeler F Mike till you seen me you never saw thrilled “ 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
everytime this song come on im transported back to my corolla cruising the backroads with this on full blast, screamin that cam verse out loud will all em fucking windows down lol good times
Whenever I wanna hear real shit I go to this freestyle to hear Cameron part other two went off but Cameron came on it smooth plus the beat just bring back so many good memories
Sounds like the mixtapes we used to pick up at the liquor store off 95 - which is a 🔥 place to find music by the way. lil Wayne and dipset came to me that way - the old raw real shit like this. Those were the days

Coogi baby! 90’s isshhhh
The swag level on this has to be maxed out.
Harlem always had swag
Harlem is so awesome. Ive been Harlem World since 97
Ong bro
I love this era of hip hop so much - tight flows, baggy clothes, and actual punchlines and wordplay. what a zeitgeist
For punchlines today I recommend Cash Kidd and BabyTron… but i agree with you 100%
There's still real spitters out there today, you're just not looking hard enough. The Griselda cats, Ka, Roc Marciano, Your Old Droog, Ransom, Mach Hommy, etc etc.

Took me years to find where this sample/beat was from 😅
M.O.P. World Famous beat*
Donny Hathaway n Roberta flack be real black for me “
I need to watch this every year and I don't know why.
Cam invented swag at that moment
Soulja boy did my boi
Juelz killed it.
The dipset era was small but was definitely one of the greatest eras of hiphop imo they started so many trends in hiphop that they dont get love for
He was on dat rico from paid in full timing 😂😂
Who's still bumping their heads to this in 2023?
The confidence Cam has in this was always an inspiration for Me in life. His energy is hard to match. Good Guy...but don't fuck around

said that when ny was fresh from experiencing 9/11 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
man that always tripped me out lol.
@@wais_45 they even called themselves “Dipset Taliban”😂😂😂
That shit was 🔥
You don’t think a group of New Yorkers knew the discourse around 9/11 ? Are you fr ?
One of the greatest beats in hip hop

We need an HD quality video for this classic dipset video!!
This Shit should have millions of views!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
My generation don't know how real rap supposed to go
No publicity and not media oriented
There was another version of this exact video (same intro and everything) that was uploaded a few years before this one and it had over a million before it got deleted.
But you still right.. this is arguably the most legendary freestyle in the basement history. It should’ve been at 50 mil
It does on other channels

this was my favorite freestyle growing up
💯💯💯🥶
100%
Funny it's number 1 freestyle on rap city basement
Tony Yayo & Lloyd Banks second. (off that Hood Hop beat)
In case you haven't heard Dipset before now, this cypher highlights the MASSIVE gap in talent between Cam and everyone else. Bro carried the hell out of this group.
When Cam starts with the letters it's game over
Grew up like 13 years old wit Purple haze boooyyy. Classic album. Cam 🔥
They all killed it by flowing so well on Scarface’s beat but Cams was the only legit freestyle… and that shit was fye 😮💨

He wrote this for the basement , killed it, then threw it in garbage like Rico
I remember watching this live when i was in highschool! Miss those days!!!
Me too! The Basement followed by 106 and Park with AJ and Free!
I was in 5th grade, on the days I didn't go to school I got to see most of rap city, I'm on the westcoast, rap city came on at 1pm out here
Same. Miss them days!
Still one of the greatest freestyles of all time!!! Killa Cam really brought that heat whilst Jurors Juelz just really repped the block big time and uncle Jimmy just solidified why they were they hottest squad out at the time!!! LEGENDARY SHIT!!!
gotta respect how Cam is busy counting stacks whilst putting down what's real and what's not!!
Man they need to bring the "Rap City " and the basement back I miss it. Camron killed it on here Killa!!!!!
My all time favorite freestyle by The Diplomats with Cam'ron as Ruler from 2003 back when they 3-0'd each song with some bars 😊
The best basement freestyle
You messing with a Gangsta boy, You messing with some Gangstas Boy, DONT DO THAT!

Whats that mean. He used his advance to make stock $ and gave it back?
@@randomguy-xp7se he got 4mil and didn’t do shit for the label yet pretty much
@@EECErik is that why he said "thats when the tech is soaring" stocks. I get he ripped off Def Jam but without a stock trade it seems foolish to burn a bridge, but hey, camron hasnt gave a f in awhile.
I've always loved Cam's flow and wordplay. He was ahead of the game.
This a classic but never will be forgotten about 🔥🔥🔥
Santana rocking the throwback Miami Dolphins Zack Thomas will always resonate with me, being from South Florida!
2023 still listening 🎶
Cam is just ridiculous, i would say this is hiphop hall of fame shit. Definitely in the top five freestyle of all time with this. delivery, rhymefrequency, rythm, everything is over the top.
Im here for at least the 1000th time! This the best rap city freestyle ever 🍀💪🏾

Cam murder this 💯...man memories of high school

This is a rare clip of what hip hop used to be, in its truest form💯
No one did it quite like Dip Set. To me, they did the rap game perfect
always a good day after listening to this
They all killed that Scarface beat‼️ This was the early 2000s in a nutshell ‼️💯✅
This a classic my era of real hip hop and rap
Cant believe this only has 174k views. Cam got colder when he stopped counting.
Rap City should be brought back as a youtube channel. Drop weekly episodes. Real rappers not just people riding a wave mumbling shit.
