In interview cuatro in VIBE’s 60 Rappers in 60 Days series, Da Capo continues to tease us that he and Cam are gonna put the band back together.

Jones: We possess the hottest thing in hip hop that hasn’t happened yet, and everybody knows it. We damn near could be one of the reasons to make hip hop a lucrative thing again, and that being the Diplomats. If we put it back together.

VIBE: What are the chances of that? Because Cam’Ron is saying there’s no chance of that.

Jones: Well, there’s a 50 percent chance because I’m in. Smell me? And that’s a high percentile. Ya dig?

VIBE: Would Juelz be in?

Jones: Shit, we all in.

VIBE: Cam doesn’t seem to be in, and the reason he gave was that phone call.

Jones: I don’t care about that, I’m just telling you. You asked me a question and I’m telling you there’s a 50 percent possibility it can happen. Ya dig? Let’s keep it at that.

VIBE: I think a lot of people want that. Fans are used to breakups, but they love comebacks and reunions.

Jones: I love reunions.

YN thinks the world is one big 50/50 chance. Go hard or go home. No homo.

Here’s flicks off the set of T.I.’s new single. “Hell of Life.” The song will be featured on the rerelease of Paper Trail. More after the jump.

Well, sorta. In an unpublished FADER interview, Pimp C dissed the writer that reviewed his album Pimpalation in XXL. Turns out that scribe was RR affiliate Paul “Gooch” Cantor.

“This new thing I got (Pimpalation) probably be out by the time this thing go to press. It’s a compilation record. I just read a review on it and the dude was talkin about it was too many people on the album—you dumb motherfucker, don’t you know it’s a compilation record? You stupid motherfucker, you don’t get compilation from Pimpalation? C’mon, man. It was XXL, too, I’ll go on and tell you, I don’t have the dude’s name right in front of me but he’s an asshole, you know what I mean. He gave the record a large but the motherfucker was like ‘I’m a guest artist on my own record.’ And motherfucker it’s a comp…you dumb motherfucker, how dumb can you get, man? Where do they find these people? Back in the day the people reviewing the albums was really fans of the music.“

Chuuch!

Who’s the man who let Young “Independent As Fuck” Hov go to play for the team he owns? He’s simply the el jefe of the music business. Mr. Doug Morris. But I prefer to call him My Dougie. Here he is with some of his supreme clientele. Get familiar!

Just when I was warming up to Vol.1, Smallz and Neptune hit us with Vol. 2. Here’s the first leak featuring Play-N-Skillz, Talib, and Hurricane Chris.

With rumors swirling around Jay’s Def Jam contract buyout, Hov exclusively spoke to Rap Radar to confirm the speculation.

“I can honestly say, working with Doug Morris and LA Reid has been a unique and fulfilling experience and I respect them immensely.  I’ve been in the family for almost my entire career.

I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music.”

YN: What is this coin toss about?

Hov: That takes a phone conversation, I’ll save it for our interview… classic.
