Vets ‘outraged’ over hip hop group The Diplomats wearing military jackets, medals, and ribbons | Daily Mail Online
Jim Jones and Cam’ron, who are two members of the four-member group, wore what appeared to be U.S. Navy jackets while singing on stage at the Apollo Theater in Harlem over the weekend.
I don’t think most “Vets” are outraged at this kind of grabasstic nonsense, most probably just think its silly. These wannabe Rap clowns just want to be seen in the news, they could care less how they get there.

Sorry, but with all exponential growth of the “outrage industry” and the daily blast of OUTRAGE I get clobbered with every time I lot on to the internet, I’ve decided to jealously guard and judiciously dispense my limited personal supply of outrage.
Sorry, “Diplomats”, you didn’t make the cut. Better luck next time.
hey look, it’s DJ Jerkoff and MC Masterbates.
Don’t shake their hands…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, gone are the days of Magic Shave and the Curb Feelers.
Todays Rap fans lack the dedication to tote around a 40 lb Boom Box on their shoulders.
yeah…kids today are serious about things…they want woke songs by woke artists about woke topics…
One of the hot tunes sure to make it to the top next year is one by that new group “The fluffers” called “who farted in my new car” about the struggles of an inner city lad who has to work nights at Brucie’s Bath House while dreaming of working the big time at APL.
Nope, just can’t work up any outrage. Pity, perhaps. I’m pretty impressed by the designer and marketing genius that came up with the idea, and convinced these two… artists… that this was an awesome cool look and they need to pay him big bucks for it. Damn, I loves me some capitalism!
At least it’s more interesting than the Army’s idea of selling camouflaged hoodies with the 1st Inf Div patch at Sears. Thankfully that idea died faster than Sears.
Meh….compared to Nick “soup sammich” Androsky, these spunk crusted bukkake queens are rank amateurs.
They need more shoe cleaner.
Yawn.
Do the inverted rank patches indicate a Sergeant Major in distress? What an inane hodge-podge.
Sergeant Major’s can become distressed? Inconceivable!!
Sergeant’s Major can be from time to time, but usually not about the things you’d think they do.
Yes, when someone walks across their grass.
Or puts their hands in their pockets.
Or isn’t wearing their reflective belt…
Or takes longer than 3 minutes in the shower…
I’m eagerly waiting for the 1st SEAC to chime in.
Nope. I don’t miss that mope at all. Mofo coming in here calling everybody “brother” like some low-rent Hulk Hogan wannabe…
Word on the streets is that this guy wants those Rappers to return his Naval uniforms ASAP before he sues them for theft:

I see no resemblence to any US military uniform.. Bunch of clowns in clown suits with all sorts of bling from all sorts of venues.
My refridgerator door is more organized.
“Rap Artist?” Seems they need a rap upside the head. Am keeping what few f@#ks I have and will not give any. If it ain’t classic R & R or Classic Real Country Music, I don’t listen. What they are wearing doesn’t look like a uniform to me, looks more like a costume … for clowns. They do need to lose the medals tho. Guess the next stolen valor we’ll see is impersonating rap artists.
Ah real C&W music like Kitty Wells, Patsy Montana, Montana Slim AKA Wilf Carter, Eddie Dean, Gene Autry, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams Etc. That’s the real Mc Coy.
George Jones, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Whispering Bill Anderson, Lynne Anderson, Roy Clark, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Johnny & June Cash, Ernest Tubb, don’t leave out Elvis Presley, Waylon Jennings, Jessie Colter, Brenda Lee, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Mel Tillis, Conway Twitty, Red Foley, Charlie Daniels, Porter Wagoner, Mickey Gilley, Charlie Pride, Chet Atkins, Willie Nelson, Chris Kristofersen, Tammy Wynette, Glen Campbell, Little Jimmy Dickens, and the list goes on. Apologies to those I missed, and I missed a lot. Guess I need to go pull down that old school wooden crate of 33 rpm poly vinyl carbons I got and spin some platters. We’re showing our ages Jeff.
Hmmm, I wonder if making those “aspiring rappers” listen to either “Indian Love Call” or “Cattle Call” by Slim Whitman on a 24/7 loop would be considered cruel and unusual punishment?
If so, just too F-ing bad!!/smile
I still to this day, just love Slim’s “countrypolitan” yodeling.
Brother Claw, you have a mean, nasty, sadistic streak in you…I like it…Think it matches mine.
Well, you have to think of it this way:
If not for “Indian Love Call”, we’d all be speaking Martian right now.
^word^
So they’re rappers.
Pathetic and sad, but rappers.
Yeah, having a hard time working up any sense of outrage or indignation between fits of giggles.
I think most will take them for what they are, little boys seeking attention. Other than the ribbons, I have no problem with their clown suits.
Nope, no outrage here…
They look like well traveled 1940’s suitcases…you know the ones that have stickers all over it from every place that suitcase ever went to lol 😀
No anger growls. Just laughs.
Assclowns just gotta be ass clownin’
Yo, Yo, Yo…..STUPID!
When I was a kid “hip hop” was something the Easter Bunny did down the bunny trail. Now it’s “music” WTF..over.
This situation reminds me of the incident in Britain a few years ago. A scuzzy whore was caught on a security camera peeing on a War Memorial.
Hard to be outraged when you consider the person doesn’t have enough brain cells or morals to even grasp how this could be offensive.
looks like clown puke
Insane Clown Pukee?
Probably has about the same level of toughness and consistency as well.
kLoWnE pYuuKe is the name of my new rap act.
Who and/or what the hell are these guys?
Poster children for untreated pregnant women with venereal disease.
BWAHAHAHAHAH!
LMAO!!!
Laughable at most. Should have gone with the woodland camo with gold chains look.
NWA int late 80’s.
As I see it, this is a big step up from the gay porn guy who was filmed in a USMC jacket. Besides, Paul Revere and the Raiders were the first of the SV groups and then, of course, there’s the Village People. The Navy guy has a helluva rack.
You forgot this Korean Girl Pop Group:

😏
Never saw KATUSAs that looked like that.
And let us not forget Gary Puckett and the Union Gap.
I once saw Gary Puckett play a set at a geezer rock concert; you know, a concert that reminds one of a K-Tel record. Before he started to sing, he asked that veterans stand and be recognized. I stood and marveled at how few of us there were at the concert.
K-Tel record… you’re dating yourself, Dude!
Puckett did the same for two Tacoma Dome shows back in the 90’s. Told the crowd he had wanted to serve, but couldn’t. IIRC, he said it was medical.
^points-and-laughs* is not the reaction “One-DMF and the Gang” were looking for. Maybe a WAR FACE will help. Let me see your WAR FACE!
Let’s give them some credit.
At least their ass crack isn’t hanging out. We could do worse than these “artists.”
Mighty low bar there.
As is your sarcasm detection meter. 🙂
Eye roll time. I stopped getting upset about this kind of thing a long time ago because there’s too much of it going on to be outraged all the time. Only liberal pussies get outraged at everything even this minute.
Stolen valor upsets me, but that’s because they’re taking something from people who earned it and trying to use it for personal gain. These dumbasses wearing stupid looking costumes to get notoriety isn’t anything worthwhile.
I’m guessing they are also mumble rappers. Even the old school rappers think that shit is stupid.
As Gene Simmons says, “There is no such thing as bad publicity.” This is just a yawn if you ask me. Looks like they were trying to be “offensive” and just told somebody to throw whatever patches they could get a hold of on a couple of jackets.
No outrage, just disappointed at society trying to tell me how to think.
No outrage here. If morons want to make themselves readily identifiable as morons by dressing like morons, I’m ok with that.
Are we sure they are really rappers. My first thought from seeing these pics was circus clowns.
This is how I know I’m getting old, because my first reaction was, “Who?”
My second reaction was to Google them and realize I still couldn’t answer my first response.
My third reaction was to listen to some of their recordings, then I realized not only was I not outraged about someone I never heard of and will never hear of, or from, again doing something that didn’t pertain to me in the slightest.
Verdict, zero outrage questionable musical abilities and lyrically a depressing reminder of why so many young black men spend most of their lives in jail.
“Yo, I be wit a gang a gangs, who hang and bang
Animals, arrangatangs
Hammers move, bangers bang
Damn, it’s dude the game has changed
I got a hoe selection, a whole collection
A whole selection of my hoe collection
And I’m big pimpin’, stick dipin’, quick shiftin’
Bitch listen, this isn’t, no damn game in here”
Also I discovered their other name is Dipset, which is really close to dipshit and that made me laugh out loud…
So go ahead Dipshits and tell us why you’ll be felons and prisoners and not rocket scientists and programmers.
Those are some impressive lyrics, VOV. I’m having a difficult time deciding which lines are more profound. While “Yo, I be wit a gang a gangs, who hang and bang” echoes the je ne sais quoi angst of existentialism, the part about “And I’m big pimpin’, stick dipin’, quick shiftin’” obviously bears aspects of a classic Zen koan. You can’t help but wonder if it’s asking a variation of the enigmatic question:
When a gang hanger bangs his hammer at the Apollo, and bitches of a hoe collection don’t listen, does that mean the hammer don’t bang, yo?
Thank you for the laugh Perry, it definitely lightened a more somber outlook on this issue.
Late to replying to you because I fell and couldn’t get up – from laughing so hard.
Dipsets, Dipshits…art imitates life.
Yep VOV, they are keeping the black stereotypes alive and well. I bet their mommas are proud.
My sentiments exactly!
VOV: I think those lyrics are from their recently released Christmas album.
Clearly, they’re not passing themselves off as having earned any of that, so it’s costume for their stage show at that point. They’re making it pretty clear by going way over the top with it. As far as rappers go, they’re dressed better than most, and there were no shortage of 80’s bands I listened to with at least military-inspired stage outfits.
Nothing new about this.
Alice Cooper toured with a band called “Special Forces” in 1980-81, likely before these clowns were ever born.
Publicity photo from that tour. Nice beret, Alice:

These guys all serve active duty….
In Barack Obama’s civilian force!
What’s the “name” of this group? “The Diplomats”?
Then why not dress like real diplomats and wear evening suits instead? A cutaway jacket, knee breeches, stocking and pumps, just like 18th century guys, and plain shirts with properly tied neck cloths would certainly set them apart from the surging crowd and be sort of Hemiltonian, too.
The Diplomats, now appearing in Evening Suits. Yeah, that works for me.
I’m outraged, outraged I say, at the lack of diversity among those attending the concert. I’m going to forward this to the ‘Reverend’ Al. This is unacceptable.
Looks like they ran in to the wall of patches at Clothing Sales while covered in Elmers. I am about as outraged as I would have been at John Lennon for wearing a Sergeant Pepper outfit.
As long as DJ Jerkoff and MC Masturbated don’t go frauding-up DD214’s and applying for VA benefits I don’t care what they do.
Just clowns being clowns. I’m more outraged that service members and vets would listen and support such clowns though.
It looks like DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince have hit hard times. It seems that their parents just didn’t understand that they are living in a nightmare on their street.
Whatever floats their boat…
Meh, IMHO if they’re too lazy to find out which is right side up for those patches and want to make themselves look like total idiots to us Vets, so be it!
Checked back today and still can find no outrage.
Are they claiming to BE members of the military? No? Then what’s to be outraged about?
It might be curious to find out if the upside down items were intentionally placed that way. It was a long held tradition in Hollywood to include some mistakes in costuming actors for movies including military uniforms. If these guys had a costumer familiar with that tradition, perhaps the mistakes were made with purpose.
Now, if you wanna discuss the lyrics from most rappers, there is plenty of room for disgust, offense, or some other negative reaction. Outrage? Some, that advocate killing cops and such, might almost get me there.
