Dipset Head Scarves: Hump Or Dump?

When you’ve already smacked off every kufi in the tri-state area, keeping heads warm in the winter can be tough. Well, now it seems that Jim Jones has endorsed a new Dipset-friendly form of headwear: the Louis Vuitton scarf draped over the dome.

After coordinating their outfits in the “Love Me No More” video (click here to see Complex’s behind-the-scenes video on the set), Jimmy and Juelz birthed a potential trend. The look is half hoodie, half untied doo-rag, but with an extra luxurious swag-splash. And since the video debuted a few weeks ago, we’ve even spotted some Dip-stans running around NYC, draped-up in silk scarves. But the question remains…will the Complex readers hump it or dump it? Let it be known after the jump:

Could Dipset Suffer the Same Fate As Wu-Tang?

HipHop DX thinks so: “Jim Jones has already expressed concerns with Cam’Ron. The two have had it out in public, letting everyone know that the crew is divided. Furthermore, Juelz Santana also spoke on his relationship with Cam’Ron, adding that he’s got his own quarrels with Killa.” And it doesn’t stop there. Max B is releasing a mixtape called “The Assassination of Jim Jones,” and 40 Cal made his own track, “Dipset is Ova.”

Rap Sheet: Fat Joe: Leave the Family Out of It

• Cover up: Fat Joe ain’t happy about a mock magazine cover that’s been buzzing the nets. It includes coverlines like: “Benzino’s Confessions: I Slept with Fat Joe’s wife. Lil’ Kim, Foxy, Misa, Melyssa Ford…It’s Nothing. Yiimean? I’m like the male Superhead…..Why Trina aborted my baby….My fling with Suge’s baby mama.” His lawyers are on it, flinging around cease and desists to all the websites posting it.

• Capo status: We caught up with Jim Jones and he tells the world why he hates Jay-Z, other things. On the last time he saw Killer Cam, “Last time I saw him was Christmas Eve, we were both in the bank doing bank withdrawals. In the best place we could ever run into each other, in the bank ’cause we’re getting money, ya dig?”

• Do not pass go: The Game is doing time. Well… 60 days at least.The rapper has is going to jail for waving a gun around a school yard basketball court during a game last year.

• Pushed up: When it comes to Hip Hop record releases, they always get pushed back. But Snoop’s “Sensual Seductions” was received so well, that Interscope is releasing the Ego Trippin’ album in March instead of May.

Killa Futbol Season

After Cam’ron’s Killa Season dropped, stock in Kimberly-Clark branded wet wipes climbed. Next, the World Cup became the official sport for hipsters. There’s no cool-guy T-shirt collective behind this one, just pay respect to the 1980 Washington Diplomats or rap’s Ramones – Killa, Jones, Freaky, Santana.
