The 25 Best Dipset Songs

A 25-track salute to Harlem's reunited rap royalty.

Cam'ron, "The Roc (Just Fire)" feat. Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel  - In another show of Dipset/Roc-A-Fella unity after the crew signed with the Diamond, Cam recruited Jay-Z’s consiglieres over a prototypical early-2000s Just Blaze banger, resulting in an undeniably East Coast anthem.(Photos from left: Ethan Miller/Getty Images, John Ricard / BET, Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)
Soul Samples/Sped Up Vocals - As an integral part of Roc-A-Fella's early 2000s domination, Killa Cam helped popularize beats that used soul samples and sped up vocals (that chipmunk voice), often produced by greats like Kanye West and Just Blaze.(Photo: Def Jam)
Cam’ron, "Wet Wipes" - Only Cam’ron could make a song about a towelette work. With Alchemist’s screw-face beat, you couldn’t blame Killa for saying he’d “strart trouble inside the Waffle House” on this standout from Killa Season.  (Photo: Diplomat Records)
Cam'ron, "Touch It or Not" feat. Lil Wayne - Lil Wayne’s often seemed like an honorary member of Dipset, and since that joint album with Juelz looking increasingly unlikely, this will most likely remain the apex of his loose musical partnership with the crew.

The song, highlighted by Pete’s classic boom bap and Max B’s melodic hilarity, gave Jim a brief break from otherwise relentless backpack hate. (Photo: Jeffrey Ufberg/Getty Images)

Cam'ron "Dipset Forever" - Another soulful standout from Cam’s best album, 2004’s Purple Haze, with Killa cockily riding the melodic triplets of a Chuck Cissel sample. Too bad the song’s message of crew unity and immortality wasn’t meant to be. (Photo: Def Jam)
