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.

We would like to welcome y'all back
Dipset, bitch
Casa!
You heard that
It's only right (haha)
Oh yeah, let's go
I'm tryna fill four whole walls up with Warhols
Me fall off, four hunnid plugs in my call log
You lookin' at the motherfuckin' main event
I can write a rhyme, spit it out before I think of it
Record the whole album, get a mix, and won't play the shit
Blow my nose in hunnid dollars bills like a handkerchief
I'm the best that ever touched the mic, what'chu think this is?
We don't die, we multiply like the baby kids
Half you niggas frontin', you ain't even what you say you is
My old shit hotter than your latest shit
My old bitch hotter than your latest bitch
New Wraith, same color as potato skin
You play to win, I been nice since light dropped, paper thin
Bad bitches at the door, whores, let 'em in
Purple City days I was a Varsity Letterman
Pardon my etiquette, the God in his element
I get charge up for chargin' the medicine
Felony favors, my partners is predicate
Car come with curtains, the ride is so elegant
I'm flyer than you ever been
Motherfucker, you don't fly like a pelican
I'm mixed with cocaine and heroin
Get your stamp and your spoon for the medicine
Better than you've ever been
You niggas cannot fuck wit' me a little bit
You serious? I am what you fuckin' call a lyricist
It's vividness
Every bar I ever spit was intricate, commemorative
Verbally I'm syphilis with sentences that sink the shit you witnessin'
This is what the difference is
Intelligent is infinite, you motherfuckin' idiot
Intelligently edited to every fuckin' increment
Immune to your ignorant, belligerent deliverence
With limitless experience for you simpletons
I'm Diddy dancin' to the bank for the Benjamins
Fatigues and some Timberland, Promethazine and Ritalin
Marijuana magnificent and the meridian
Mastermind the millennium
Mathematics, maliciousness
Spittin' verbal so viciously, Femur then your tendons, see?
Lyrically, I am the gun that killed Kennedy
Bigger than any centipede, the world gon' remember me
Thirty chains, I gotta glow like Mr. T
I'm the best, yeah, I guess that was meant for me
Fuck Trump, that nigga a chump, don't mean shit to me
Power to the people, all my niggas take a knee
Bitch! Dipset!
Dipset, bitch!
Casa!

It's a shame how I rap so bananas

You might see me hanging out and smoking with Santana in a convertible car
The hawk on me's not from Atlanta
The gun I'm carrying is not from Atlanta
It's just the father to the glocks in the hamper
It's just the bigger version of the guns I have stored somewhere
Look in the rear view the cops in the camera
Be careful not to get caught by the police
I flow hot like blocks down in Tampa
I'm really good at rapping
And leave you dead pop shot from them glammers
I can kill you with my guns
And go down south and rock wit them bamas
I'm going to perform in southern states like Alabama

Add yeast to increase the rock

Watch my pockets increase ta knots
I'm making more money and it's accumulating in my pockets
Play the low so I speak ta cops
I try to avoid the police and keep a low profile
Walk the beat in my bop an my beef and brocs
I walk around in style with my car and my clothes
Ice in my piece an watch

Ain't too many niggas that can reach the top
There aren't many people who can be as successful as me

Peep this pop I leave you not
Watch how good I am at rapping and you won't be disappointed
I rhyme over beats wit the meanest drops
I'm really good at rapping especially on great beats
And teens'll flock
Young people will like my music and come see me perform
