N.U.G., did you get recruited by Roc-A-Fella's street/internet promotions team or something?
That's not a disrespectful question, it just seems that you just happen to put plugs for The Diplomats in supposedly inconspicuous places. Like: "speaking of the Diplomats... here's a link to their mix CD."
Cam'ron has had two albums, the second of which only sold 500.000 units (gold.) The Diplomats sold even less. Cam'ron's first album had abysmal sales.
Damon Dash is looking to fill the void of Jay-Z, and knows it. It wouldn't surprise me if he's trying to push Cam harder this time.
I think has Mase sold more records than all The Diplomats combined.
Look out for the new Sean Carter label,
AND
I completely agree with Cold Truth.
Sincerely,

lol at me being a receuited by Rocafella's Street Team. I see what you're saying though but I'm just having fun with it.
Camron has 3 solo albums, the third went PLATINUM in 5 months - holla!
The Diplomats album also sold some decent numbers (I think GOLD).
Also, Cam and the Diplomats push major units for just mixtapes - 100,000 and up, and have a major fanbase and cult-like following.
DIP SET! BRYD GANG!
Goonie Goo Goo!
Holla!

Nug you actin like a groupy just chill the fuck out, you actin like Mase is the only person in the rap game to make money. You could'nt tell me that some one is not in it for the money the fam or the girls. Yea its tru somepoeple do it for the love but you would'nt do it for free either would you, if you don't like him keep to yo self, you just another hater cuz you not the one up there raping wit yo bitch dipset. I don't like mase that much but at least he is giving kids like me something else to listen to rather than, car, hoes, money, and killing. He is giving us a positive messege, and saying it was a bitch move to go to Atlanta, how is that you don't know what type of position he was in and why he moved, it is a bitch move for you that you started this thread.
Also I have been in church sence I was five and one thing I have learned is never put your mounth on a man of God, it is going to come back on you, if Mase is doing something wrong still don't put yo mounth on him I have seen it happen to plenty of people because they would'nt shut up. You may think I am crazy for saying this but it is true.
this has turned into an interesting debate. I originally posted the audio for people who were interested or might find it amusing. Its grown into more than that now which is cool too...
as far as your comments, hell yeah there a lot of rappers who do it for the money - but very few of them are so manufactured as Mase and Puff Daddy.
for your info, Mase used to be "Murder Mase" and rapped with a more hardcore subject matter. He was unable to get a record deal so he changed his whole style up just to get signed and sell. He's a totally manufactured product - he's on some Spice Girl shit for real.
Puffy was never even a rapper until he was in his mid twenties and had to get people to not only write his rhymes, but also walk him through his verses.
* shakes head *
I all for spiritually in it's various forms. From what I've heard of Mase's new material there has been little or no mention of spirituality - I find that a bit unusual. I would actually be interested in hearing someone like him share their experiances and opinions about things like spirituality and other interesting topics. Unfortunately, he seems just to be rapping about "money, cash, hoes". If I want to hear that I'll listen to rappers with waaay more talent than Mase like Jay-Z, Cam, Slick Rick etc.
yo, if you like Mase's music - that's all good and I don't have a problem with it.
I personally am not a fan of his music.
Here's a nice corny pic of Mase for anyone interested
