Wu Tang Clan check. G-unit check. Next up on the roster to reunite in the hip hop scene could be fan favorite Dipset! In a recent interview with Vlad TV, Rapper Jim Jones spoke on the possibility of his lethal group releasing new music and maybe even an album.

When asked about the likelihood of a Dipset album in the future, Jim responded "I would like to . . We've been doing music so I guess we been working towards that." The Harlem native also confirmed that other members of the Diplomats have been cooped up in the studio making new music as well; name dropping Cam'ron, Juelz Santana, and Hell Rell to be exact.

Contrary to the beef most people think happened to make the group members go their separate ways, Jim Jones says it wasn't like that and clears up the speculations.

" I mean we came up so close . . when the discrepancies happen or whatever made people . . the beef or whatever made people to think it was this that . .  it’s that personal cause we all so close. So it's kind of funny and awkward and sh-t like that. But I know, well I felt that I guess everybody else would've felt the same that with time this sh-t will blown over and it'll all heal itself. You know maybe we messed up some opportunities maybe we didn't but we're still here to talk about it and now we starting to do music again. And the people still want it so and that's the most incredible thing that over these years people still want to see us in action. I mean that goes . . that stands for a lot because we put a lot of work into this game I mean I don't know if people are paying their dues anymore but we definitely paid ours from the moment we got in this b---h. And we went hard and we never let nobody take nothing from us or compromise our dignity. But we definitely was humbled by certain situations and we definitely gave back when we need to."

Jimmy even joked in the interview that it's kind of hard working with his fellow Dipset brother Cam'ron in the studio being that by the time they finish reminiscing on the old days it's nearly time for him to go home. "It's kind of hard because we be talking sh-t about old days and so much sh-t and catching up and by time we get to the music it's like, 'Damn I got to do this verse and get out of here.'"

It would be exciting to see another monumental hip hop group reunite for new music so then fans can get back to chanting Dipset, Dipset, Dipset, Dipset!

50 Cent Praises Eminem As One of The Best Rappers To Ever Do In The Premiere Episode of Music Choice's New Show 'Chronicles'

50 Cent was never one to hold his tongue; so it was no surprise how real he kept it when he was asked to give an honest view of the Hip Hop game for Music Choice's new show Chronicles. The G-Unit head honcho is the first musical artist to be featured on the show which is set to air on August 26 at 8pmest. In this interview, 50 praises his good friend Eminem as one of the greatest rappers to ever step foot in the Hip Hop game and should be respected regardless of his race.

50 Cent speaks on the raw and unique talent that Eminem posses in the Chronicles episode:

The one Grammy I have is for "Crack a Bottle." I couldn't even have that without Em. You know, and that's why I have so much value for him, not just in my career, just in my life. He's one of my best friends because I can trust that he's gonna be honest with his constructive criticism when it's time to listen to the music before it goes out.
Hip-hop is black music, without question. And unfortunately for some people, it's tough to accept that you've got a white artist that does it better than black artists. It is what it is. You could get whoever you feel like is the best black artist and stand them face to face in a room with Em, and he'll eat that n---- alive.Right now, if you had 'em prepare themselves in whatever way they would have to prepare themselves to come battle, and I bet you, I bet everything I have - that that n----'s meatloaf.

As a White man holding a dominate spot in the Hip Hop game, the Shady Aftermath co-founder has held his own within the predominantly Black genre since the late 1990s. His sick flow and lyrical uniqueness has earned him tons of respect from Hip Hop fans and it was dope for 50 cent to publicly recognize Eminem's dedication to the game.
