Jim Jones Speaks On Listening To Jay-Z’s Music & 50 Cent vs. Jay-Z
Complex: Are you referring to the video that surfaced of you boppin’ in the club to Jay’s verse on “Swagga Like Us?”
Jim Jones: I like “Swagga Like Us.” Shit, what are you going to be in the middle of the club dancing, like you got your lady with you and he come on and you’re supposed to just stop? She’ll look at you like, “You queer-ass nigga!” So shit, what the fuck is wrong with you niggas, I’m boogeying, man. And I might turn that shit up to 40 in the car if I’m moving fast. My personal issues has nothing to do with my artistic likes. If he has a hot record, he has a hot record. That shit with Alicia is dope, dope as hell. I’m not giving him props, I just like the music. I don’t give a fuck about him, fuck that nigga and the camel he rode in on. If he has a dope ass record though, what the fuck you going to do? It’s fucked up though because they don’t play “Ballin’” in the 40/40 club, that’s the hating shit I be talking about. I’ve got confirmation from DJs who have been kicked out for playing that record.
Complex: Why do you think he’ll respond to you, but he won’t respond to 50?
Jim Jones: I don’t know. Jay’s a smart dude too, man. Sometimes I guess you respond to certain things that keep your ass in the game. We damn sure definitely playing in the same ball game when it come to that. But if I was 50—they got some money over there. If I was 50, I’d run down and snuff the shit out of him. That’s what I would do. I would go get some fly-ass security, back his security down on some football shit, and just run down on him, snuff the shit out him. But I ain’t got a hundred million and shit like that. So we couldn’t pull that stunt. Now that’s publicity.

Jay wont respond to 50, cause Jay knows there is a bigger chance to make more money with 50, than with Jim Jones. So Jay getting rid of the lames. 50’s a valuable asset
December 14th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Jay is like that He dont want 50 to be more relevant by playing his game.
December 14th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
once dipset broke up, everybody died out. none of them is gonna b successful without the rest of em. btw ballin was like 3 years ago.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
simple comments from a simple man…grow up Jimmy
December 14th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Clearly one of the dumber people on this Earth. What a great plan Jones, snuff Jay.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
one of the dumbest person*
December 14th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
The answer could of simply be left as:
“…My personal issues has nothing to do with my artistic likes. If he has a hot record, he has a hot record. That shit with Alicia is dope, dope as hell.”
Now the bashing…to me that tells me:
(a) You have to bash him to make your self feel better
(b) You have a personal obsession with Jay
Plus their is no personal problems with Jim and Jay…really. What is so personal about them two? What he wanted to fuck B, and Jay got her? They sold drugs together? Jay didn’t want to do a record with Jimmy while in Rocafella? Jay-Z mistakenly gave his girl an STD? What is it????!
Please don’t tell me the only issue he has with Jay is the izzo beat, that is so 2001 and it stinks. Cam got a free beat move on….if that’s what you’re so bitter about then you’re the most sensitive MAN I’ve seen in my entire life.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Jay realized everytime he responds that other artist gets hot again. They make better music after Jay mention they name. Remember when he responded to Jimmy he was on fire for a little bit. Nas was like waking up a sleeping monster. The worse thing you can do to somebody is ignore them like they don’t exist. It works.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
and this is coming from a 34 year old man…hahahahah *Snuff Jay*..
This is why 50 is in the position he is in…and not Jimmy. 50 knows better than to make a dumb move like that….and risk it all. Jimmy in the other hand has $$ maybe not hundreds of millions..but thousands…and will remain that way..because he doesn’t know how to behave at 30+…SMH.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
I just wanna love you (give it to me)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ballin.
Is this clown serious??
December 14th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Jim Jones is not to be taken seriously PEOPLE.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:01 pm

December 14th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
JAY-Z wont respond to either one of these cornballs.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Lmmfao @ ” I’m boogeying, man”….lol. Cornball ass niggah….
&
“If he has a hot record, he has a hot record. That shit with Alicia is dope, dope as hell. I’m not giving him props”….wut the hell do u call that if it ain’t giving props…lol this guy might be cornier than 50 and game…..
December 14th, 2009 at 4:42 pm

December 14th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
That had to be the best statement I heard all year by any artist. I my money was long like 50’s money I got lawyer that will get out of a case for snuffing jay z’s punk ass, but he don’t want no parts of 50 in a fist fight. I fucks with you jimmy

December 14th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Why is he STILL talking about BALLIN’? That was what ‘06? LMFAO, FAIL!
December 14th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Sounds like envy to me. sounds like ‘plans to overthrow your shit while shaking your hand’ kinda shit. shiftiness is NOT to be trusted. period.
December 15th, 2009 at 12:05 am
Jim Jones is a crab ass nigga that need to grow up!!! HE WILL NEVER BE ON JAY’S LEVEL. That man aint even stuntin him cuz he’s a nobody. That ballin shit came out like two years ago and that was the only hot shit he put out. REMEMBER!!!He was the nigga that got other niggas to wear pink on some faggot shit!!!!
December 15th, 2009 at 6:00 am

December 15th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
THESE GUYS REALLY THINK THEY CAN GET TO Jay-Z. NOT. wHY HAVEN’T THEY DONE IT AS OF YET. IS NOT THE MONEY HE HAS ITS THE FEAR YALL CARRY KNOWING TABLES WILL TURN ON YALL AND YALL WON’T BE ABLE TO WEATHER THE STORM…..
