1. The by far most popular group called The Diplomats (also known as Dipset) are a Harlem, New York-based group who previously signed to Roc-A-Fella Records, but now are signed to own label Diplomats Record. Founded by rappers Cam'ron and Jim Jones, the group released their debut album Diplomatic Immunity under their imprint Diplomat Records.
Diplomat Records also distribute artist Cam'ron through Asylum Records. Under Koch Entertainment, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, 40 Cal., Freekey Zekey, J.R. Writer, Hell Rell, Un Kasa and Jha Jha are also signed on as members of The Diplomats record label. London-based duo, S.A.S, are also part of The Diplomats. Another member, Jay Bezel, is signed to Sure Shot Records. The group's sophomore album Diplomatic Immunity 2 was released under Koch Entertainment. Juelz Santana currently is the only member still signed to Diplomat Records and Def Jam Records.
One of the defining elements of the Diplomats' music is the innovative slang they have incorporated into their lyrics. The broader hip-hop community has accepted and utilized many of their terms, including "doggie,", "no homo", "piff," "huff," "u mad?", "move the movement", "off' wit' Ya' Kufi Smacker", "goonies goo goo,", "duck tales", "family matters", and "coochie rap". They also coined the greeting, "What's Really Good?". Many of the rappers were signed, and were premiered in mixtapes, but the Diplomats did not become exclusive until 2003 with their cd Diplomatic Immunity. In previous music videos when Cam'ron was starting his career you could see fellow diplomats like Jim Jones or Freeky Zeeky. The Diplomats have also gained notable street credability through their mixtapes, especially in New York, and have made a small fortune through mixtape sales. They also have their own brand of Liquor, Sizzurp.
2. The Diplomats were a mid-90's pop band from Roanoke, Virginia Heavily influenced by Big Star.
3. The Diplomats is also an avant jazz project consisting of Rob Brown (as), Steve Swell (tb) and Harris Eisenstadt (d).
4. The Diplomats were a soul group of the 1960s from Washington DC, United States, very popular in the United Kingdom during the Northern Soul boom of the 1970s. They would later become the New York-based Skull Snaps.
5. The Diplomats were a short-lived British rock band from Yorkshire, who released a self-funded single during the Mod revival of the early 1980s: 'Memories Of You' b/w 'I'll Keep On Holding On' (the latter being a cover version of the Marvelettes' original. The Diplomats were fronted by Andy Welsh, who later joined The Scene.

Keep the chickens cluckin', keep the pigeons buggin'
We maintain a steady supply of drugs and keep our customers hooked
This on my wrist is nothin'
The expensive jewelry I'm wearing is nothing to me, because I have so much of it
Yeah, it's just yellow hearts and pink diamonds
The jewelry I'm wearing is made of gold and diamonds, but it's not a big deal to me
Where I get the money for this? Don't think rhymin'
Don't ask me how I got the money for this jewelry, because I'm not going to tell you
You fuckin' with Pablo (uh)
Don't mess with me, because I'm as powerful and ruthless as the infamous Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar
Bravo, Mario Via Bolo, ho, Ta-to
These are names of other drug lords and criminals who I admire and identify with

Cam is very dope, his rhymes go over many people's heads...
"move the H (heroin) on our block, in front of H&R block (hustling next to H&R block lol, H&R block = H on our block)"
"I keep the Luger hugged, show you how to use a snub" (Cam keeps the German Luger on him, and hard to shoot accurately, he will 'school' you on it)
"i don't do the drugs , baby I move the drugs, right on the computer love, it sound like computer love"( he uses the computer to sell drugs, and also compares the beat to the Kraftwerk song computer love, the German band Kraftwerk is influential in hip hop music)
most people don't even understand what Cam is saying. but he is very dope.

Most people think that Cam's rhymes are elementary but if you actually listen to them he has alot of hidden meaning. Cam'ron and Dipset put out alot of dope albums. Up north legend in my book. Go check out his songs with Big L in the mid to late 90s when he went by Killa Cam, straight bars.
