Jim Jones recently followed up on his comments about TI and Kanye’s swag during a Rhapsody interview about TI and Kanye’s swag:
A lot of people were surprised with your comments to Complex regarding T.I.
People took it the wrong way. I wasn’t really deliberately doing nothing to knock T.I. I was just saying what I felt regarding swagger and who sets the precedent for it. I know for sure that people have said, “Yo, you looking like Jim Jones. I’m trying to get that ‘Jim Jones’ look.” But I haven’t heard people saying you’re looking like T.I. or whoever. Where I’m from, n*gg*s don’t run to go look like no Kanye. I don’t hear n*gg*s in the ‘hood like I need to get that jacket Jay had on.
Well, Jay did get everyone to start rocking button-ups.
Yeah, he caught that. But that was in his moment when he was hot. He was able to dictate sh*t. But that was because Dame was around him and gave him a little bit of “cool” factor. Sh*t, what can he dictate now? He’s dressing like me. I seen him with some skull scarves and some Louis Vuitton scarves and all types of sh*t. That ain’t Rocawear. If that’s what you own, you should be vested in what you own. You should be wearing that sh*t all day because it should be some fly sh*t that you wanna have on. It should be like Ralph Lauren where you know I got some fly sh*t. But no n*gg*, you see him dressing like me and turn Rocawear into skulls and shit. [Laughs.]
Who do you feel like right now is holding it down for New York?
All these n*gg*s have been around and they still not doing nothing. They trying to catch up to me right now, literally. I’m the point of interest right now. Who’s been more relevant than me the past three years as far as New York is concerned? As far as style, fashion, speakin’ my mind, political awareness and stuntin’ on n*gg*s. Ladies love me. Police know my name on a first and last basis. They respect me for a [being a] G. They ain’t trying to lock me up for weed, so I’m having a ball. I probably smoke like a half an ounce a day. N*gg*s know how instrumental I am to New York. There’s no one gonna be able to do what I’ve done as far as the work I’ve put in, the things I’ve accomplished, and the things I’ve escaped unscathed for another 20 years. I don’t have to have nothing out and I still shut sh*t down. Me and Juelz go on any stage in the world and shut the whole thing down.
Now that you and Cam aren’t really on good terms, is there regret on your part that you went to bat for Cam and got into a beef with Nas?
Nah. F*ck Nas. I don’t give a f*ck about Nas. He’s a rapper that just lost his pizazz. When I was in high school, he was the sh*t. He was the n*gg* that got us hyped. “New York State of Mind,” Illmatic and all of that.
Is there any possibility of a reconciliation?
What kind of reconciliation? I was never cool with him. I seen Nas a few months ago in L.A. with Dame. We was staying in this hotel right above the Ferrari dealership. Dame seen him and was talking to him. I was laying back on a couch laughing. He didn’t know what to do. I was looking dead at him. [Laughs.] And then Dame was like, “You know Jim?” He started [stammering], “Ah? Ah?” Dame is just burnt out. He not thinking about none of that frivolous [beef] sh*t. Me neither, for the most part. Nas was never on my level ever. Ever.

Jim Jones is just mad because he have not had been getting the attention that JZ OR NO ONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER GETS.
mimimumbi 10/14/08, 09:18:AM
For a grown man, he sounds so kiddie, he sounds like someone who has envy and jelousy over what other rappers have that he may not have. I am not a fan of Jim Jones BUT i think some of his music is ok. He is not a real rapper anyway. For him to say Nas is not on his level??? i donno about all that Jimmy. Either way, he sounds young and immature for such a grown man. Especially whe he talks about being in the couch laughing while Dame was talking to Nas. he further prooves how stupid he is by saying “dame aint think bout that beef ish”…..YET, sounds like he is….
Jade Hummingbyrd 10/14/08, 09:18:AM
“You looking like Jim Jones” don’t have to be compliment. As a matter of fact, I’d translate it to mean “You looking like you ain’t never ever ever ever…, ever in your life..had a bath” so I think that’s an insult really….
da darkness 10/14/08, 09:18:AM
i blame the chics out there effin with the skinny jeans cats. ill knowing how depressed gonna be at the end of the night. lol
Big K 10/14/08, 09:19:AM
Is it me, or doesn’t it seem just a little GAY when supposed tough guy thugs like “The Dirt Angel” over there start beef with other men over copying their fetish for designer scarves?
I’m just saying.

Delorean86 10/14/08, 09:19:AM
Jim Jones is point less. When have you ever heard anyone say that they are going to get something because Jim Jones has it…no one…he is the lamest guy known to man, he wants Jay-Z to get at him…Don’t do it Jay…its too soon don’t do it reconsider, read some litter, you sure on the subject, well f*%@ it…

Big K 10/14/08, 09:26:AM
One other thing:
I’m not the biggest fan of Nas, but he’s undeniably one of Hip-Hop’s icons, and he’s earned that status.
Until Jim Jones, or any of his weed-carriers drops something on the level of “Illmatic”, he might just want take his filthy ass and go sit down somewhere.
O.D.B was one dirty nigga (Hell,”Dirty” was a part of his stage name!), but at least he had “Return To The 36 Chambers”, “Nigga Please” and his time with Wu-Tang to fall back on. What’s this filthy nigga’s excuse?

YOU’RE WACK AND WHAT HAPPENED TO STACK BUNDLES ALBUM I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA DROP IT LAST YEAR. WACK ASS NIGGA.
mzsweetface 10/14/08, 09:27:AM
I think he is full of himself but I do agree, when you have your own fashion line you should wear your own stuff. The reason these celebs don’t is because they know its wack and cheap. That’s why you rarely see Kimora, Bey, Jay or JLo wearing their own stuff. If they won’t wear it, why should I?
Your right about something 10/14/08, 09:28:AM
This dirty low budget ass nigga needs a bath. Jay is a grown ass man. What in the hell does he need with some skulls. Nas is a grown ass man and T.I don’t wear that shit. So shut your dirty ass up and sit the fuck down. Go check into a rehab or something. Lame ass dude. Little boy ass nigga with that little boy body. Get the fuck outta here!!!
closetcolumnist 10/14/08, 09:30:AM
I live in NYC and I dont know ANYONE who wants to look like Jim Jones. The kids up here love to dress like Kanye with the “nerd” look (backpacks, sweaters, etc) and I definitely see them emulating T.I when his clothing line drops. F*&k- I dont even see Jim Jones’ line in stores (what’s the name of it??)- I only see it on his sweaty asssss!!!! And Jay-Z is NOT trying to dress like Jimmy either (he couldn’t bathe if he was). A gillion people were rocking skulls and crossbones way before whats-his-face anyway. NEXT!!!!!
MiMi 10/14/08, 09:31:AM
OK, should old men still be allowed to “sag”?
I mean really, he might wanna grow up and maybe , just maybe we’ll listen to the nonsense he’s whinning about.
Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators (Keepin' It Real - D'Original) 10/14/08, 09:34:AM
Jay-Z is a tastemaker…
*A tastemaker is someone who starts trends…
Whatever Jigga rocks damn near the whole world rocks… From his watch = Audemars Piguet to his jeans = Red Monkey to that BBC & Bathing Ape sh…
*Y’all notice how women started rockin’ Christian Louboutin shoes after Jigga mentioned them joints in that “I Know” song…
People ALWAYS checking for what Jay is doing and wearing… Not too many people can claim that and/or have soo many people trying to emulate them and their style from cars to clothes…
*Matter fact he’s one of the people that started that scarf wearing sh… People were doing it before but AS USUAL after he did it became mainstream…
HmmREALLY 10/14/08, 09:41:AM
Jay-Z >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jim Jones
that is all.

WOW!!!
He’s the man now off of just ONE hit = “Ballin’”?
I’ll give him props for that new Ron Brown joint = “Pop Champagne” but for real though = ni@@a please…
Nobody ain’t really gonna remember you = Jim Jones with respects to hip-hop… You ain’t make NO impact like that…
MiMi 10/14/08, 09:43:AM
I think that scarf wearing stuff started with those white rock groups back in the late 70s and early 80s. Now that it showing up in our culture, evrybody wants to claim “they started it”. Who cares? Hell, it’s just a scarf!!!
Everybody so caught up in that material swag.
We need to be rockin our college degrees around our necks!!!

Believe it or not…no one is checking for you!..when was the last time you came out with an album?? your only hot single was balling and you are still riding on the curtails of its success…
Who the hell would want to dress like you..oh and by the way..no you took pharrells style brother..these Harlem kats..SMH
P.S. the point of a belt is to hold ur pants up..apparently u missed that memo…

i love me sum Jim Jones and the whole dipset, but i cant front, i hate wen jimmy starts whinnin like dis..remindz me of 50 cent..i kno he’s frustrated bout not bein able “to eat” cuz of da Jayz’s, T.I’s, and Kanye’s of the game, but dat should only make him wanna step his game up and make sum hitz..DIPSET!!

DIRTY JIMMY ALWAYS RUNNIN HIS MOUTH. I SEE HIS LIPS MOVING BUT I DONT HEAR ISH!! WHY SHOULD JAY BE REMOTELY CONCERNED ABOUT ANYTHING HE HAS TO SAY? HE WACK AS HELL! CANT RAP!! AND PUTTING HIM IN LOUIS IS LIKE WRAPPING A PIG IN SILK. NOBODY HAS TO “JACK” ANYTHING FROM HIM. I’M NOT EVEN GOING TO GO INTO THE MILLIONS OF REASONS WHY HE SHOULD STFU. I’M JUST GOING TO SIMPLY SAY…
“JIMMY, THERE ARE TIMES IN LIFE WHEN YOU SHOULD STFU. RIGHT NOW IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES.” (school daze..lol)

"AND THEN WE LIE TOGETHER, CRY TOGETHER"(sxyQblondie) 10/14/08, 09:49:AM
THINK ABOUT IT THOUGH. THE IDEA OF THE SKULLZ ON ROCAWEAR, AND WHY JAY WONT WEAR THAT ISH. THESE KIDS AND YOUNG ADULTS ARE GOING BONKERS OVER THE ISH. IT’S A MARKETABLE IDEA TO CATER TO THE PEOPLE. SO WHY NOT PUT THE SKULLZ ON IT, YOUR BRAND IS ALREADY A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FRANCHISE, GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT. BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE, GROWN MEN DONT RUN AROUND WITH SKULLZ HANGING FROM EVERYWHERE, LOOKING LIKE FOOLS. AND THATS WHY JAY WEARS LOUIE, AND NOT THE FOOL AZZ SKULL CRAP. THE SAME REASON WHY DRUG DEALERS SHOULD SELL THE CRACK BUT NOT SMOKE IT.

WHAT??? Is he serious? Does he think “Ballin” made him a SupaStar? Hell is he even in DipSet anymore? I’m sorry but are braids still considered a trend? So many questions, so little answers….Step Your Game Up..Clown!!!!

OK so I aint neva heard of anybody wanting dat “JIM JONES DIRT McGIRT look”. People around me wanna be Kanye’s and have Jay’s bizness sense, but I aint neva known nobody to wanna look dirty and ish.
