While Cam'ron says the Diplomats haven't yet found a label home for their reunion album, they're still working together and have almost 10 new songs in the can.
"It's a few people that's been getting at us, but the money's not really where we want it to be," Killa Cam told MTV News about label negotiations. "So we'd rather distribute it ourselves until somebody comes with the right amount of money. Jim is using the 'Salute' record as his single, so we'll build off of that. But basically, with the Diplomat thing, everybody is gonna do it, but we got obligations."
Cam'ron was also quick to point out that everyone is on speaking terms, but they all have records they're working on outside of the Dipset project as well.
"Jim got his album he definitely gotta turn in," he said. "[Me and Vado] got this Gunz and Butta thing. Juelz is putting his album together. Nobody wants to stop where they already have contracts and obligations, but we working too. We got eight, nine songs done."
Cam, Juelz, Freekey Zekey and Jim Jones recently released the song "Salute." Cam said Jones spearheaded their first song together in years.
"Jim's got a good work ethic too. His work ethic is crazy," Cam explained. "He's in the studio all the time. I'm in the studio. The producer AraabMuzik is signed to DukeDaGod. Araab went and took Jim some beats. I already had the beat [for 'Salute']. Jim said, 'Let's do something to this.' We got it done.
"It wasn't no big story behind it," Cam added. "He sent me the record, I did it. He went to Juelz's studio, I knocked it out. Jim comes by my crib where the studio at. We sit down for two, three hours, and we go in the basement and knock the songs out. I'm not gonna sit here and act like some spaceship landed or a boat docked. Jim comes by the house, we go in the basement, we smoke, do the song, that's it. We go back in another two, three days and do the same thing."
While there's no concrete date for the Diplomats album, Killa says his and Vado's LP Gunz and Butta should be out around September 28, with a mixtape from the two dropping first. On the album's cover, you see Cam and Vado dressed in suits, standing in a boardroom with the New York skyline behind them.
"At the end of the day, we just hanging on the block, so you see we dressed like whatever," Cam said of the Gunz and Butta cover. "When it's time to get corporate, we'll throw on that suit and tie and go to the penthouse, have a roundtable meeting. We know how to balance the beam. We know how to get street, but we know how to get cleaned up also. That's why we named the album Gunz and Butta, just to let you know: We know our balance."

Four years after a shooting left an unarmed Sean Bell dead (on the eve of his wedding) and two of his friends wounded following a tragic incident with New York City police, the city has agreed to pay $7 million dollars to settle a federal lawsuit filed by Bell's family and his friends.
According to The New York Times, in the early hours of November 25, 2006, five New York City police officers fired 50 shots into the car Bell — who was to be married that day — was driving outside a club in Queens, New York. The car reportedly struck a detective in the leg and hit a police van before the officers began firing. None of the three men in the car — Bell and his friends Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield — were armed, although the officers apparently believed at least one was.
In what's seen as the closing chapter in one of the most controversial police shootings in New York City history — three officers were acquitted of manslaughter and reckless-endangerment charges in 2008, a ruling many activists and rappers spoke out against — the families of the victims are looking to move past the tragedy.
As part of the settlement, Bell's two young daughters (whom he had with his fiancée, Nicole Paultre Bell) will receive $3.25 million; Guzman (who was shot 17 times) and Trent Benefield will receive $3 million and $900,000 respectively, according to Times.
Earlier this week, Foxy Brown — a close friend of Bell's fiancée — said Paultre Bell is a strong woman who remained in high spirits throughout the four-year ordeal.
"She just handled everything so gracefully," Brown said. "She just did everything with grace and class."
G-Unit member Tony Yayo, whose G-Unity foundation gave proceeds from a recent event to Bell's family, said the settlement is long overdue.
"I think it's a beautiful thing, but rest in peace to Sean Bell," Yayo said. "I mean, you have times now when a police officer can shoot you in your back, handcuffed on the floor, in a train station in front of everybody and get two years," Yayo said, referring to the Oscar Grant shooting in Oakland, California, in which found a transit officer was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month. "So Sean Bell's people deserve that money, definitely, and blessings to them."

We brought you deep into the mind of Freekey Zeekey In Part One of his interview with Major Moves DVD Here. Now we're going in for part two. You never know what you might here come out of Zeke's mouth so hold on.
The Former 1st Lady of Dipset, Jha Jha had a few not so nice things to say about Jim Jones recently, claimiming he's blackballed.her from the business.
"I'm not here to talk about her, I guess she felt that type of way, but that aint gonna make her no money. You gotta look at it, if they see me, Cam, Jim standing over here and Jha Jha over there. Which deal you think you gon go with?"
In situations like that, I always look at my man Dr Dre. The n*gga Suge took everything, Suge Debo'd this n*gga. He had like over $100 million or whatever Death Row had made. Dre aint make sh*t, Dre just dropped everything and bounced. No money, no nothing they aint even do sh*t, went back in the lab, picked Eminem up."
Money Joe Asked if Zeke had reached out to Max-B since he got knocked.
"I mean the years he got that's crazy, I mean I don't wish that on no man. But personally haven't [reached out] but I'm not gonna sit there and keep kicking the n*gga in the nuts. He said some sh*t and did some sh*t that I could never forgive him for cause Jim is my family. But it's things I wouldn't wanna see happen to the n*gga anyway because I know he wouldn't really do none of the sh*t he sayin, he was just talking out of anger."
Zeekey went on to call the beef with French Montana internet drama said and it aint making him any money so he's not interested in it.

After being targeted by 50 Cent in a series of songs and video clips, DJ Khaled has refused to engage in a rap beef with the G-Unit frontman vowing to only "represent the music."The Def Jam South labelhead has decided to pass on the controversial rap beef with 50 Cent:"I don't deal with negative energy, it's a waste of my time and my time is valuable," he said in an interview. "I keep negative away and stay positive...At Def Jam, we promote music...We promote hit records. That's what I respect. I'm always going to represent the music; Rick Ross is gonna represent the music. If controversy comes with it, it comes with it." (MTV News)The Terror Squad associate has taken a cue from frequent collaborator Fat Joe who also recently suggested beef should be dismissed for music:"50 Cent just gotta make music," Joe said in an interview. "He does all these diversions and disses rappers to eliminate the fact that he's not really hot and relevant right now. So if two weeks ago we were talking about 50 Cent, what record or what would we really be talking about unless he disrespected Rick Ross...I'm tired of all these gimmicks and these games. This man's just gotta put out hit records. That's what we're doing...We making music. At the end of the day, we fell in love with hip-hop to make music and hit records." (Kendra G)Khaled was drawn into the recent beef between 50 Cent and Ross when 50 released a video of members of Fif's camp stalking Khaled's mother's house and place of work:"Yo, I got this lil' poem I wrote for DJ Khaled," 50 narrates. "Your car tires got stabbed out, now you know, I know where you be. I just wanna tell you what a psychic told me. I know where your mama house at. Now look, you can see. But I just wanna tell you what a psychic told me. I know where your mama work at, now look at her, asleep. I just wanna tell you what a pyschic told me. I'm not the kinda n*gga you should f*ck with, B. I'm special. I have less compassion than the average human." (ThisIs50.com)Ross, on the other hand, has disregarded suggestions to just focus on music with the release of a new 50 diss track:"N*gga you doing radio interviews, they don't wanna listen to you, they wanna hear you talk about me," Ross says in the track. "Bang Em Smurf. Queens. Forever. I appreciate the hospitality. Ricky Ross. I'm buying a loft there now. I'm building a studio there now...You haven't dropped a hit yet. You probably with [Dr.] Dre in the studio, booked up, busy. Anybody wanna get involved, you're more than welcomed...I wanna see the gorillas. I wanna meet 'em...Put your hit out on me, I'm ready." (WSHH)In my opinion: i don't care about when my fave rapper (50) raps about others but when i heard he mentioned his mom it just blew me away. After everything he went through his life I still can't believe he'd diss and talk about his mother....he doesn't even have a mother because of poisoning and no other rapper is dissing him bout that. Anyways I am always on 50's side.....I LOVE YOU FIDDY (NO HOMO), hope to meet you before the day i die....GOD BLESS.Post your opinions below [Make sure you add my page]
