The Diplomats (Rap): 40 Caliber, Milk , Jim Jones , Cam`Ron, J.R. Writer, Hell Rell, Duke Da God, Jha Jha, Juelz Santana. Additional personnel: Unkasa. Producers: Develop"; The Treblemakers; Amadeus; Genghis;" Boola. The Diplomats debuted in 2003 with DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY, an enjoyable, if uneven, double-record introduction to Cam`Ron`s diverse collection of rappers, whose ranks include the imperial Juelz Santana and the growling, sinister-as-his-name Jim Jones. With their second release, DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY 2, the Diplomats drop the double-album format, making for a tight, concise set, as the talented MCs pass the mic like the baton of a veteran track team, flowing over consistently inventive, ear-opening beats. Cam`Ron starts the festivities, presenting the members one by one, before launching into the dizzying, pounding `Stop-N-Go` with J.R. Writer. Juelz Santana follows with the rolling `S.A.N.T.A.N.A.,` and sticks around for `Take `Em to Church,` with Cam`Ron and Unkasa, before joining J.R. on the frenetic `Get Use to This.` Throughout it all, the record seems like one continual celebration of the Diplomats` world, as the songs seamlessly flow into one another, at once chaotic and melodious. DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY 2 showcases the best aspects of the superstar collective album, as the various personalities bounce off each other--not perfectly, but unpredictably--for an overall thrilling ride.
