The Diplomats (popularly known as Dipset), are an American hip hop group founded in 1997 by Cam'ron and Jim Jones, in Harlem, New York City. The group was originally composed of members Cam'ron, Jim Jones and Freekey Zekey, all of whom grew up together in Harlem. In 1999, fellow Harlem-based rapper Juelz Santana was added to the group.
In the year 2001, following Cam'ron's signing, the group secured a recording contract with Def Jam and Brooklyn-bred rapper Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella Records. They subsequently began recording their debut album, Diplomatic Immunity, and released it under the aforementioned labels in March 2003. Following tensions and controversy between Cam'ron and Jay-Z, the group severed ties with the labels and signed to indie record label Koch Records. The group released their second album Diplomatic Immunity 2, in November 2004 under Koch. After a hiatus because of artistic differences, in 2010 the original members began recording music together again and announced a reunion album. In February 2011, it was announced they had signed with Interscope Records. However in May 2013, Freekey Zekey revealed they were no longer signed to Interscope. Freekey Zekey stated, "I don't know. [Juelz Santana] had...I guess...had personal problems that was negating him from hittin' the studio hard. I don't know what they are or what they was, but his mind was with it. 'Cause every time we talked to him or spoke to him, he [was excited]. But whatever was lurkin' in his personal life or whatever the case may be, would basically stop him from getting into that studio."
"Dipset (Santana's Town)" is a song by rapper Juelz Santana released as the first single from his debut album From Me to U. It features rapper Cam'ron.
The only single from From Me to U, the song reached #70 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
It was nominated at the 2004 Grammy Awards for the Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.

Nice clothes, like those

Where, that's Paris to Malon
Fill ya bag up with Vuitton, you the baddest in the bon
Understand, I'ma rapper with some charm
Don't worry about them lil groupies grabbing on my arm
Cuz that just ben my life, benz and ice
Swimming YIKES, often, stalking
Following, I'm in they sight
But you could come through, 1-2
Dim the lights, touch for touch, what's the rush
Mama you could spend the night

Unh...yo...

Throw on the visa shoes
Drop the loser, pick the winner
Even though you seem confused, not being rude
But ma, you need a dude to take you out to B-B-Q's
And I'll take you out to B-B-Q's
Show you the finer things, Mr. K's
Mr. Chows, sit and chow
Pour some wine, sip Crystal

Talk a sec, talking sex
It's just foul, I know it's been a while
Go ahead, grin and smile
Here you go hicking now, talking bout he brought you ice
Like it's the thought that counts
Don't worry about the cost of price
Then he look you in ya face, like of course it's ice
Girl come get with baller, I could pay your mortgage twice
And that's four for life, Naw that's more for life
Go ahead and board your flight

Peek-a-Boo, come here, turn off the lights
