It's Just Nice To See Dipset Hanging Out Together Again
The new Dipset song, "Have My Money," is good, but now there's a cool, laid-back video to match the old-school beat, and it makes the song itself a jillion times better. Besides, it's just good to see the apparently reunited Harlem rap collective hanging out and having a good time. ...
