The Diplomats, also known as Dipset to every New Yorker, made a surprise appearance that was a true highlight of the show. Set against the backdrop of a bodega in Harlem, Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, and Freekey Zekey hit the stage to remind anyone who may have forgotten exactly why they are considered hip-hop legends.
Drake, a student of hip-hop, clearly understood their impact on the culture. The 36-year-old joined Dipset on stage wearing Cam’ron’s original — and now iconic — pink mink coat and headband. “By the way, this Cam’s actual mink…I just wanna make that clear. I didn’t just get some new shit made, this is the real one,” he boasted.
Drake also paid tribute to another Harlem legend, rapper Big L, with a mural of the late emcee — who was murdered in 1999 — on the left side of the makeshift deli building.
