Lyrical Lecture is where you get to hear a selected quotable straight from the artist. The artists were asked to spit a verse from a song that had significant meaning to them. The Diplomats were the first to get down with the lecture and here are the verses that they chose to speak on.

Artist: Jimmy Jones

Song: Beautiful Noise

Album: Diplomatic Immunity

Comment: Well this verse right here really means something to me

My hommie Castro is gone for 5/

I send my prayers do ya thing cause I be going for mine/

We live life to 365, nights on a strike that’s a bullet/

Uncle Ricky gott’em off on some change/

And it feels like the garbage is dump’n the pain/

Artist: Juelz Santana

Song: Who am I

Album: Diplomatic Immunity

Comment: It’s a real personal song about the time I spent in the game and about my relationship with my mom

Momma, I just want you to know

I'm in love with you so, if you wasn't here I'd be in love with you soul

My angel, mommy I'd die faithful

Just knowing somone tried to violate you

I'll slide 8ths through the side of their facial

Squeeze and rip apart a side of their facial

I'd take a slug, eat a bullet, swallow a gun

Shit, you gotta know I'm your son

Damn, this type of love, could only come from a son

Hold up mommy, I'm twisted I'm drunk...listen

When the Diplomates dropped these verses live, they did it with the same intensity that one would expect from a studio session or listening to the album. From just hearing it you felt the emotion and realness.
