Jim Jones & Damon Dash Speak On New Album, Dipset & Jim’s Play
Could you see that Dipset was falling apart, that Cam’ron wasn’t going to maintain his place in the industry?
Jones: I just know there were a lot of things going on. You find out who really wants to be around one another once money comes into play. See, for a minute, it was one-sided. He was the breadwinner, obviously. For the most part, I was just trying to stay above water, because I wasn’t in the streets hustling anymore. I finally figured out what I needed to do to get enough money to control my own destiny in the industry. [But] we were like brothers. That was a hard blow. They see [Cam] in Harlem all the time and stuff like that. I don’t think he’s hiding underneath a cave or anything like that. But the communication between us doesn’t exist.Jim isn’t really considered a lyrically gifted M.C. How are you gonna change that?
Dash: If you come down and listen to his album [Pray IV Reign], and I’m not sure if I’m too close to the music or the project, but shit sounds like a classic. I’m a make a bold statement and put it in the same league as Reasonable Doubt and The Chronic.Full Interview: NYMag
So Damon Dash is comparing Jim Jones new album to, “Reasonable Doubt,” I’m sure that will turn heads.
The New York Daily news just did an aticle throwing Dame under the bus saying he is broke now. Link

Damae is on some strong drugs, going broke or lost his mind, Jim isnt capable of dropping a album of substance, but a Classic, be serious, have you heard him rap? He must have a great ghost writer…. but seriously Dame needs a hug, Jay please give Dame a hug or some money cuz he must be broke…

If Dame didnt bring CAM and Dipset on ROC this wont have happened. Jay & Bleek laughin @ this fool. U remember Jay sayed “Bleek could be one hit away his whole career As long as I’m alive, he’s a millionaire”. Bleek got more $$ then jim.
