The homie Spin got together with the venerable hip hop rag and put together this compilation of tracks from the Dips’ catalog, in honor of last week’s Diplomatic Immunity show. Tracklist, stream and link down bottom.

The Dips celebrated the 10-year anniversary of their seminal album at B.B. Kings in Manhattan, where they brought out Lloyd Banks and Fozzie Bear for some assistance. Props to X for the footage.

Today marks the tenth anniversary Cam, Jim, Juelz and Zeek’s Roc-A-Fella debut album, so Gianni Lee and Mike Blud of Babylon Cartel compiled this collection of all the samples used in the album. Tracklist and link down bottom.

Today’s Hot 97 Throwback At Noon: Best Of edition was dedicated to the Harlem faction. I’m assuming that everybody north of 110th Street had tuned in for this one out here.

After announcing the return of Roc-A-Fella yesterday, Dame Dash reveals to MTV his thoughts on the Diplomats reunion.

I’m more happy than anything that they’re friends… that they were able to salvage their friendship, if that’s the case. I think they’re better than me for that: for being smart enough and humble enough to apologize to each other and move forward. I really do hope that where I failed to be the right example, that they can be that. You always want the people ahead of you to do better than you anyway. For that, I gotta give them props for being men above anything.

Ruger Rell talks about his relationship with Cam’Ron and how that relates with the rest of Dip-Set. It still doesn’t beat my interview with him, where I asked him about his Hell Rell facts.

The good folks at dubFrequency had their in-house production crew the Ski Team lend their talents to a few Dip Set favorites. Tracklist & link under the cut.

Spotted over at eskay’s. Remember those “Hell Rell Facts” a la Chuck Norris? Those shits had me falling out of my seat all the time. UPDATE: Oh shit, I found them! UPDATE 2: I was just about to post this but I see Meka is on his combing the internets shit right now, so I’ll just include a few things from the email. This is the single off Ruga’s upcoming album, Black Mask Black Gloves, dropping July 22nd. Directed by DanTheMan (Rick Ross, Maino, Prodigy).
