Who favorited?Jim Jones Takes Shots At T.I., Jay-Z
by on October 6th, 2008
New York rapper Jim Jones doesn't seem to be too pleased with being left out of T.I.'s mega-collabo track "Swagger Like Us."
In a recent interview with Complex magazine, the Harlem diplomat expresses his distaste with the song saying he was deliberately left off collabo featured on T.I.'s latest LP, Paper Trail.
"I think it was deliberate. I really do think it was deliberate; maybe in my sick twisted mind I’m a little crazy. People know who set the precedent as far as fashion in this industry and people know who damn near changed the world as far as fashion.
You look at people, they went from the urban world of clothing, back when Rocawear and Sean John was cool. And then in the past 5 years I stepped in and gave them a taste of what rock and roll looks like from my side. I guess people would say from an urban side, and it seemed to catch on like wildfire, to the point that people was going to stores and asking for that Jim Jones look."
Jones also says he's putting together his own version of the track and even provided a snippet featured below.
"Me and Juelz had Chink do our own beat, I have Weezy’s verse in my inbox right now and we kept the hook of that song because it was a sample. So we’re going to put that as a bonus track on the album, and put it to the streets. “No one on the corner got swag like you we don’t Rocawear that’s for fags like you.”

When asked if T.I. possed any "swag," Jones didn't hold back claiming "I don’t feel like he possesses any swag. Not like that. It’s fabricated. They’re watching other people, then they try and do it. You know people that dress like T.I.? You know people that go out and say let me get a T.I. outfit or do you know people who say “yo, you’re looking like Jim Jones?” Which one? Lemme hear it! When the bitches want to fuck you and the niggas want be like you, who got the swag? Niggas with money and fame always going to look like they doing something ’cause they got the camera in front of them. But the cool dudes always stick out no matter where they at. "

Is this what every rapper that doesnt get invited on a track is going to do? Start talking shit and try to do their own version of the track?
If this ain’t the gayest shit ever…
Why the fuck would TI inivite you to do a track with Jay on it?
These fuckin’ rappers be straight dumb now a days…
No common sense whatsoever…they’re so rapped up in keeping up a false ass image…that they’re burning MAJOR brigdes in the process.
Could JimmyJo really survive a beef with Jay, Ti AND Kanye???
FUCK NO!!!!!!!!!
…rappers…
~Be Eazy!
I can’t front, he did start the tight shirts and tighter jeans in hip hop…….. Thanks Jen, I mean Jim Jones!
I FUCKIN’ HATE SLIM JEANS…. And, the young boys be saggin’ em.. lookin’ gay as shit….
Fuckin’ ANNOYS me… I can’t wait til some RAPPER comes out with some new style so they all can follow that… I remember when Jay started the whole Button-Ups phase… that was cool…
And Yes … I guess there are people that go into the stores and ask for that Homo look
And Yes … the last five years, it’s been getting hard to tell the difference between men and women clothes in the DTLR up the street, makin it hard for real niggas to go shoppin
So lets all say THANKS TO JIMMY
… They’ll have a special float for you on gay pride day
… How did someone steal gay from you????
Nobody wants to be like Jim Jones except Lil Wayne. Jim Jones also constantly bites Jay and Nas lyrics but then he disses them. Jim is a fraudulent ass nigga. CamRon needs to come back and end this nigga’s career. Put Robin back in his place b/c he’s acting like he’s Batman.
T.I vs.Flip was first-defeat
t.i vs.shawty lo was second-defeat
t.i.vs.jim jones-DEFEAT
im sorry but jones does not have swagger like that, but on the same level ti doesnt to an extent but i think tip is more fly than jim jones by a lot.
and last time i drove to the spot in baltimore i didnt c nobody rockin his gay ass fashion. people still rockin the shorts that r as long as pants. get real jimmy stop doin whatever drug ur doin cuz ur losin some brain cells homie
wtf is this bullshit, he bitchin and complaining worse then my broad!
you were deliberately left out because you SUCK – plain and simple.
This is a GROWN-ASS MAN, talking about OTHER PEOPLE’S CLOTHING AND THE WAY THEY DRESS!!! He even goes on to make a SONG about it to ‘get back at T.I’. Am I the only one who thinks this is about MORE than just T.I’s ‘dress-sense’???
Advice to Jenny Jones – STOP WHINING LIKE A LIL’ BITCH, SIMPLY BECOZ T.I DIDN’T WANNA WORK WITH YOU ON HIS LATEST PROJECT!!!! T.I don’t need no help from a 200 odd thousand selling WANNABE!!! And since we ALL know that JIGGA is the man in N.Y (heck, probably in the whole U.S), who you gonna collab with? Jenny, or Jigga???
RATHER SPEND YOUR TIME TRYING TO PUT OUT HOT ALBUMS THAN WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER PEOPLE IN THE STREETS ARE TRYING TO ‘DRESS’ LIKE YOU OR T.I!!!
p.s wot a beeyatch.
if i ever see this nigga imma slap the skull gang out of him (no E-Thug)
you don’t nuttin man.
how is it stupid to go at T.I, he can’t do shit.
so your better go dick ridin each other or som’n.
get ya own career instead of others.
he’s not even on there level, shiit far frm it too!
he’s doing his own version, and he’s gonna get fukin murdered on his own shit yet again jus like ‘Dey know remix’ & ‘Foolish’
i could namee atleast 20 rappers who would get chosen over him..
he’s a HAAAATTTTEEEERRRRRRR
OW!
GET$
I didn’t mention your name, is this what all this bout/
WHAT UP!”
TI dropping that prophecy ether.
And Lil Wayne BETTER NOT be saying any slick shit on this track. Anything he wanted to say slick, he should have said on the original, so Tip could came next and burned his ass.
“Could make 40 off a brick but one rhyme could beat that
And if somebody woulda told ‘em that Hov’ would sell clothin Heh, not in this lifetime, wasn’t in my right mind
That’s another difference that’s between me and them
Heh, I’m smarten up, open the market up”
NUFF SAID.
Can’t we just get back to the music? Please, rappers.
-—————————————————————————————————-lol so true..The niggas with skulls, bones and crosses draping t-shirts get no ass..That shit is corny..And nice fossil wallet too! With the chain dangling…Look like 12 year old
really wat is tha rap game comin to these dayz??? we got faggots lyk jimmy startin beef wit heavyweights ova fashion. iknow HOV aint gonna stoop down to this fuck boi’s level but i wud luv to see him destroy this wanksta.
and this nigga Weezy needs to sort himself out, why da fuck is he collaboratin wit the above faggot??? really i lyk Wayne but im slowly losing respect for him, he just hangs around all tha niggas in da industry, he got no loyalty. just bein in that song is blatant disrespect to tha hommies Jay nd T.T.
If u wanna give Jay the credit for tellin niggas to wear a button up……then give them the credit for what they do….like it or not.
Super tims back in the day!
“I let you do you homie why you ridin my shyt”
“Gotta bop like this, can’t wear skinny jeans cause my knots don’t fit!”
punk ass jones ’fuck outta here wit that ol lame ass shit
N THAT BEAT BY CHINKZ WS KNOCKN!
BLACK WALLSTREET BITCH!!
WHO CARES???
fashion trends come n go. and the “jim jones look” don’t even look hot on black kids any damn way! that ed hardy shit is doo doo! I’ll do the jeans but I leave the tiny ass skull shirts to the white ppl!
jus anotha meaningless rap beef.
GROW UP!
This dude soundin real bitch made with this… even if you WERE lyrically able to be on the track… this whole swag argument holds no weight… I always thought that nigga jones looked mad bummy in that rock star shit… then yeah niggaz started rockin… but they was doin it better than this nigga was… even worse than that…. out of all the rappers in the industry that wasn’t on the side YOU say somethin? Cut it out jimmy… just cut it out
But, I will say…remember the days when the Nodies knew there were nobodies. And they put in hardwork to become somebodies….Now the nobodies actually think there somebodies…kinda sad…
“Dig a Hole!”
Peace!
ReDef.
and wtf is he talkin bout people wanna look like him….i dont go into a store tryin to look like a 40 year old tryin to dress like a 19 year old rock star cause im in a mid life crisis cause my rap career bout to be over….fuck jim jones
blueprint 3 best album 08 bitches
“Swagger Like Us.” is a fucking big tune. And who better to have the elite mc’s on the track, kanye, jay-z, Lil wayne & T.I
Correct me if i’m wrong, when jim raps he sounds like he is trying to catch up with the beat and sometimes gets tongue tied….lol
I mean come on i think jim gets away with alot of shit with his rap and he’s not no where near the elite mc’s..lol
Now he’s mad at T.I, like T.I said if he’s not got no swagger all will tell when his clothing line opens in november…….lol.
and I think some of you have too ….but thats neither here nor there… wait it is here cause thats the topic. Third the nigga T.I. strikes me as a hater on the low.. dont got no proof ,but i got a naggin suspiction.. one thing they all have in common is they all can spit..
THE BEST HE COULD SAY IS THAT HE CHANGED THE FASHION GAME IN HIP HOP….LOL!!!!
HOW DID HE DO THAT?! BY WEARINGS SOMEBODY ELSES CLOTHES!!!
LOL!!!
LOVE HIP- HOP HATE WACK RAPPERS
