Better than Vol 1Reviewed by Rube Goldfinger, 2009-03-13
Vol 1 was a classic, sure. But this is a superior sophomore LP. There's more diversity with MCs and beats. Its more bangin' sonically with everyone's flow being smoother and the rhymes being alot better. JR Writer and Cam'ron pretty much kill it eveytime. This came out right when Cam was finishing the amazing "Purple Haze", so everyone's at their artistic height and having fun. Thankfully, there's no Freeky Zekey being unfunny and Jim Jones, who's the weakest lyrically, is on here less. JR, 40, Hell Rell, Jha Jha and SAS are all welcome additions. There's more fun upbeat numbers on this than Vol. 1 like "Push It" and Dipset's perfect "My Boo" remake, "I Wanna Be Your Lady". The only knock is the lack of the really emotional material that were the highlight of Vol. 1. But it doesn't really bother me as much as it may bother other listeners.

DIPSET IS TAKING OVERReviewed by Slim Mack, 2005-11-12
Out of the haters and clowns who knock dipset I respect them
highly.Real regonize real and only a "real person" can understand
where Hell Rell, Cam'ron, Juelz Santana, Freeky Zeek,
JR Writer, 40 Cal, Ja Ja, Max B, and my baby Jim Jones is coming
from. There's NOT ONE dipset mixtape or album I don't have or know
or don't approve of. It's like the people who need to be regonized
is never regonized enough. If you don't like dipset you minds well
not even listen to rap. It's all about realness, your G-ed up
swager, your own apperance and way of doings things,how street you
really are, and how your differnt. It's always better to stand out
then be the same. And that's what Dipset does. So who don't mess
wit the Dips then we know where you stand. Don't get me wrong a lot
of good music is out there and a twice as much as of fake G's
Claiming to be IT but ISN'T. So I ma leave as liten, learn and you
will like the Dips.

The Diplomats' added on to its roster with man power and one lady to be exact, for their sophomore release, Diplomatic Immunity 2. J.R. Writer whom is one of the new recruits was very impressive on "Stop-N-Go" as he took over the song with Cam'ron having such a small impact on the song. "Take Em To Church" was featured on Purple Haze which did nothing to give this the album the push it needed. With another opportunity at bat, J.R. Writer & Juelz Santana flowed over a more bounce track, not typical for any East Coast artist that made this an eye opener. Another track that was featured on Cam'ron's Purple Haze is "Family Ties". Though the lyrics are different and it features 40 Cal & Hell Rell, the beat is still as potent. "Get From Round Me" has a southern beat that showed Dip Set in another light with Jha Jha, Cam'ron & Juelz Santana. Jim Jones & S.A.S. flow was as upbeat as the track on "Dutty Clap". For commercial appeal, "I Wanna Be Your Lady" with Cam'ron, Nicole Wray & J.R. Writer is as close as it gets on this LP. Another new member 40 Cal flowed solo on self titled song with veering violins, but whose flow was only average. "Melalin" by Bugs is a good track but its failing fate lied in his muffled voice and flow. Cam'ron & Juelz Santana gave this album hope again with "Dead ***********". "Push It" which was sampled from the Salt N' Pepa remix was more of a comedic effort by Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana & J.R. Writer. For a crowd pleaser Cam'ron & Juelz Santana have the popular saying and title "Aayoo-Iight". Finally the "Bigger Picture" with Cam'ron & Juelz Santana was necessary to complete the album's direction and overall feel. Ending on a strong note, "Crunk Muzik" by Jim Jones, Cam'ron & Juelz Santana was something different for them. As they brand a different style for the East Coast with their version of the south's style of crunk. Not as good as the first volume, but well worth having this addition to your collection.
