Jim Jones Addresses Cam’ron, Jay-Z & His Evolution In A New Documentary
Pray IV Reign In Stores March 24th
“This is Jim Jones,” chronicles Jim Jones’ preparation for his new album while looking at his entire life. Damon Dash plays a prominent role in the documentary, showing Jim Jones right from wrong and trying his best to guide him to success. In one of the funnier moments of the film Damon Dash takes Jim Jones to an upscale art exhibition, where Jim looks completely out of place. Dame wants to expand Jones’ horizons and get him into acting.

Jim Jones – Blow The Bank
The documentary is broken down in chapters in chronological order. Chapter 1 and 2 discusses Jim Jones’ growing up in Harlem, the drug use, HIV in the family, blood affiliation, and reckless behavior are shown to depict how rough Jim had it growing up. At the same time Damon Dash mentions Cam’ron should be here while Jim is working on his latest album.
Jim Jones speaks candidly about his relationship with Cam’ron and how the whole Dipset movement got successful. We see Jim Jones evolve from a hype man to an actual artist, producer and executive. Chapter 4 is about the Dipset’s problems at Def Jam. Damon Dash says he told Cam’ron and Beanie Sigel he would make them Vice president but Cam’ron went on the radio first and told it to the public. Of course as we all know Jay-Z wasn’t too pleased.
The problems with Dipset and Jay-Z only got worse. Kanye had sold Dipset the, “H to the Izzo,” beat but Jay-Z took it and they didn’t find out until he performed it on the BET awards. So in return Cam’ron strong armed the, “Oh Boy,” beat from Just Blaze even though it was suppose to be for Jay-Z. Jay-Z refused to be in the video for, “Oh Boy,” and to add insult to injury Cam’ron rejected Jay-Z’s remix verse for the song. Damon Dash says he can’t believe Jay-Z messed his plans up. Jim Jones later comments on Jay-Z,” he is too old to be doing what he doing and he dress horrible.”
As the documentary continues we see Jim directing videos, becoming an A&R and starting to make music. The documentary shows the good and the bad, depicting all the drama Jim Jones gets involved in such as the Hot 97 Summer Jam incident and problems with bouncers. Jim Jones talks about Stack Bundles passing away and losing friends to the streets. Damon Dash through out the movie wonders why Cam’ron isn’t in the picture and is clearly upset by it. Jim Jones says it was part of the plan for him and Cam’ron to separate but it is also part of the plan for them to get back together. Jim Jones states he is waiting for them to get back together. The documentary is very interesting and I think everyone should check it out. It may change some opinions on Jim Jones or at least help people understand him more.

what I wanna know is, on the real real…..How the fuck you gonna make a documentary about someone nobody gives a fuck about?
like dame is a smart man, i respect all he’s done throughout the years, but WHY this nigga? he couldn’t get someone else under his wings? this nigga jim is like the Vladi divac of hip hop in his retirement year.

“…the drug use, HIV in the family, blood affiliation, and reckless behavior are shown to depict how rough Jim had it growing up” WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE.

Can they stop with using Jay to get shine…no one cares!
March 18th, 2009 at 10:32 am
This dude is a clown!
March 18th, 2009 at 10:33 am
worse thing jay did was respond to him on that balling song..gave jim a reason to mention jay every moment in his life
March 18th, 2009 at 10:46 am
Jim could’ve been the next big thing, but he bodied himself when he went at Jay. His ego was too big and clouded his judgement. He thought he could do Jay like 50 did JaRule. Now it seems like the fans have chosen sides and no matter what tyoe of fire Jimmy comes with, they aint gonna really fuck wit him.
March 18th, 2009 at 11:03 am
who the fuck wants to watch a documentary about jim jones??? dont get me wrong i like jim jones but he hasnt done anything to deserve a documentary about himself
March 18th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Jenny Jones is not a rapper or mc..hence I will not buy into his marketing scheme…even with more people I still dont believe him…Camron is the forefront of Dipset and always will be. Jim Jones got a lil paper and thinks he can body anyone…and for the record…he can’t dress for shit.
Rocawear doesn’t sell 700 million retail because of how Dame Dash used to roc it…it’s obvious that Brooklyn rides for Jay-Z till the day he dies…in fact I was coming to work this morning and 2 dudes…had rocawear jeans…with swagger at one hundres thousand trillion…and leather jackets that in the back read “brooklyn” in script…Jay-Z is a movement for ages..his music will live for years…RD—>AG…people will recite his lines forever in NYC and world wide. He’s 39 and Jenny Jones is 33…when Jay-Z was 33 he was retiring with the black album…with a toilet roll list of hits….and accomplishments…Jenny Jones has nothing. When Jenny Jones mentions Jigga…all I want to do is give him the same laugh that Kobe gave Ron artest when Artest said..’Kobe you’re not ready for me”…Jay-Z needs to give Jenny Jones that same laugh…cause the shit is simply hilaaaaaaaaaaaaaarious!

Tru Life, if you are reading my responds, please 1nce again destroy Jenny Jones! You know him very well.

JIM JONES IS BEYOND WACK, HE LOOK MEAN AS HELL WITH HIS FACIAL; LET ME REMIND YA’LL THAT HIS BANK CANNOT COMPARE TO JAY’S ONES. JIM IS MUCH MORE WORTH TROUBLE THAN HE IS. HE IS USE OF GETTIN HIS ASS WHOP, RUNN INTO SECURITIES, POLICE, LAW ENFORCEMENT, HIS CREDIT CARD IS MAX OUT!! Jim Jones- Pray IV Reign will not go platinum. He’s garbage, he is trash. I hope Jay-Z respond to Jim Jones, Dame Dash, and Jaz-O altogether. Shout out to Rocafella-Hov, Tru Life, Memphis Bleek, kanYE West, I mean, Roc-Nation!! ROC NATION IS HERE BITCHES!!

March 18th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Numbers dont LIE ! Jay got so many platinum albums that it aint even funny. Jim aint never went platinum or even gold lol. Jim aint a lyricist. Who’s top list 10 is jimmy on? At the end of the day jim jones is a wack rapper who had a lukewarm single “fly high aka ballin”. Jay-Z is a ICON, Legend, Trendsetter, Role Model.
March 18th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
come one, jim jones has mad swag…i would watchc this guy talk shit all day, real or not he cocky and a crazy business man. You can tell that he doesnt want to do this rap shsit for his whole life, hes just about getting that money…thats why theres a doc about him, hes hella interesting…hes smart, he sees jay as a way to promote himself, so he did it. If anything jim going at jay helped his career, because as far as i can remember he used to be the tony yayo of dipset
March 18th, 2009 at 2:46 pm

March 18th, 2009 at 3:06 pm

Dame taking this shit literal with Jenny Jones..
Mr. Dash, much respect but stick to block savvy and give music a break until you discover someone talented.
March 18th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
^^County of Kings^^….WORD.
Only thing i respect Jimmy for is how he started rapping, he was the hardball out the crew (On my way to Church), and I liked him more than Juelz.
Now…umm….not so much. he gets props for making someone, somewhere STILL care. Thats about it.
March 18th, 2009 at 6:15 pm

March 18th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
These guys ride JAY-Z so hard DAMNNNNN……….. Start fresh…….. life continues……… They still living in the past……. Even Camron has started fresh……….
March 18th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Didnt that H to the izzo came out in 2001 or something… shit that was 8-9 years ago….. They just wanna justify their behavior. STOP IT….GET OVER IT…..
March 18th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
They bitter. The best revenge is success……..
March 18th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
i respect jim’s hustle even tho he suck at being a lyricist, but it’s still crazy looking at all the people he f’d wit to get to where he is now…
now thinking about it, he would have been truly better off entering the game by himself — at least then he wouldn’t had risked jeporadizing the entire movement in the whole process. Whether admittingly or not, Jay really crushed that whole dipset-movement and left that shit to a pack of wolves in Alaska or somethin…but at the end of the day i can respect jim for not holding excuses for the fans for a comeback like Cam did
CHARGE IT TO THE GAME JIM you’ll never get that back move on. I still don’t know about a platinum album tho talk to Vanilla Ice…hahahahahahahahahahahaha
March 18th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
NOW SERIOUSLY BESIDES ‘COME HOME WITH ME’ has this fag ever had a DECENT verse or spit some relevant shit
March 18th, 2009 at 9:01 pm

March 18th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
word @ truth, back on that come home wit me niggas was like – i like that jones verse it was real. but noooooooooobody asked this nigga to start droppin albums. u tell a bitch she look good tonight and she wanna get married sheeesh
March 19th, 2009 at 5:57 am
damn their is a lot of hate in the comments…Jim Jones might not be the best at spitting but who is nowadays, that aside you got to respect the hustle and he’s making decent music…everyone needs to get off Jay-z’s dick (it’s 45 years old).
March 19th, 2009 at 7:20 am
Dame should have known better that the era of speculation is long gone!!
We want consistence and talent not any propaganda about a guy who just doesn’t have anything to offer.
March 19th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
wow !
March 20th, 2009 at 10:07 am
I liked camrons old shit…then he started fallin in to the new school and was still make decent music…then he made dipset and blew up…THEN……jim jones (the wackest one of them all)fucked everybody up…now he wants a doc…on how he had it bad…whats good with all that money you was gettin or how ya crew was doin…now he get in the rap game…switch his punk rock style up and get mad because hip hop no longer wants him…dont know u personally but the way it looks u not gangsta….u dont know ur surronfings…and even ya boys wont hold u down when its nessacery so jim jones…u rich take ya money…go home smoke a blunt and get some ideas for a new album in 4-5 years when hip hop comes back and we’ll see if u capable to maintain then…much love to my niggaz….T.C.P 4 Life
March 20th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
