If “No Flex Zone” was a pizza - because name a person who doesn’t like pizza - it was the biggest pizza in the world. Regardless, we’re thankful for “Dipshits,” which allowed us to jump in a time machine and rap along without irony, “still DipSet, you dipshits.” “Dipshits” screamed New York back, without screaming “New York back!” But just as quickly as it showed up - which was without warning, video teasers or a radio premiere - the A-Trak-Cam project “Federal Reserve” disappeared. So when word got out that A-Trak (DJ Extraordinaire/Producer Extraordinaire/Tastemaker Extraordinaire) and Cam’Ron (Rapper Extraordinaire/ Instagrammer Extraordinaire) aimed to lay down tracks together, there was measured hope: while it’d been years since Cam had been focused on putting out strong music, and a decade since DipSet had released a project together, if there was anyone who could bring back that Harlem feeling, why not the Brooklyn-by-way-of-Montreal DJ A-Trak? Not only did A-Trak deliver classic Cam lyrics, but the song was powerfully co-produced by Just Blaze (who for a long time didn’t mess with Cam), featured Juelz Santana on the hook (complete with is trademark ad-libs), and dedicated an entire breakdown at the end for Dame Dash to talk that vintage Dame Dash talk.
Juelz Santana and Damon Dash, “Dipshits”Ī-Trak is sentimental, as seen at all of his Brooklyn Fool’s Gold Labor Day “Day Off” parties, where the line-ups not only boast young up-and-comers, but always a headliner whose best days are considered behind them.
