Dipolmatic Immunity really ushered in the era of the sped up soul sample whereas Self Made ushered in the era of the Lex Lugerish trap beat. Both had tons of hot tracks while basically being compilations. Both weren't really albums, moreso loose amalgemations of tracks that fit somewhere in between a mixtape and an album. Ross played to role of Cam, while Meek played Juelz, Wale played Jim Jones, and Pill was Zeekey/Rell. Anyway, I think Self Made was vastly underrated, but when people look at it 5-10 years from now, it will be more highly regarded.
