Thats crazy when jimmy was asked, that the first thing he says is money he's made with it, I seriously doubt he gets money from albums sales his shit don't sell where I'm from. SP is on point though its so corporate now that the execs try to come up with formulas for songs. How can u put a persons thoughts into a box or equation like that. That Dipset vs Jay/Nas shit is funny to me. Good strategy Defsounds putting that header up there that made me check the clip!!!
No Doubt. They totally hyped this clip up. It ain't even about what Capo said but, hey that is how the media do. You know what though, We suck it right up and run with it like, "Oh Shit" He said what. Bottom line, it is not about hip hop as a lifestlye an expressing your life experiences through music. It is all about money and what you have to do to get people to spend their money on your product. Crunk took over Hip Hop, Hyphy took over Hip Hop, Beef and bullshit beef took over Hip Hop, Heads of corporations who don't even understand hip hop but understand money took over Hip Hop. Hip Hop is dead. It has been re-incarnated, it is now called "Flip Flop" It's a celebration Bitches, Enjoy. 5000
I find Jim Jones comments hypocritical, seeing as,he only a little bit hot right now thanks to the "Ballin" song, and what is his second single,the "ballin remix".It seem he has nothing else on his album worth listening to other than ballin.
Well said Evil_Dre
I agree...All dipset shit is the same...very catchy beats, screamin ballin in the background.....Hip hop is dead....Rap is alive...there is a difference. The music has lost its message...ITs just music now...before it was a art form telling a story now its just music....I love nas, and respect him, but im beginning to believe this was a ploy to sell records..lol...I mean how can jim jones keep saying stuff like that....He has no place in hip hop.....Only records he has ever sold was because of a hot single....summer in miami, and ballin....NO talent what so ever...I agree wit styles p....Its in critical all together....This is how i feel....Until you make a album classic like Illmatic, you cannot comment on it.....It would be like kobe coming into the league saying all jordan got is that fadeaway, he been doin the same shit for years....lol
JIM JONES IS WACK SO IS THE WHOLE DIPSET ACCEPT FOR JUELZ I FUCK WITH JUELZ BUT THE REST OF THEM NIGGAS WACK
no, juelz is wack 2.....nd jim jones dont get it...all hip hop iz rite now iz hot beats wit sorry lyrics

Who the fuck is gay ass Jim Jones? He's Cam's fuckin' gogetter...fuck outta here. he not even the head dude on his own team. Why are they lettin' him even talk behind a LIVING LEGEND like NAS? Why? 2 keep the controversy going....had it been JIM JONES' album title, NOBODY would care OR HAVE EVEN NOTICED....MATTA FACT, what IS Jim Jones' album title? That's my point...who the fuck knows? the WORLD KNOWS Nas' album title. Jim Jones said Nas albums sound the same for the last 3 albums....For arguments sake, how do Jim Jones last 3 albums sound? How many people can spit 3 Jim Jones verses, like .... RIGHT NOW? NOBODY. BUT THEM WACK ASS DIP SET DUDES. SHOUT OUT TO CAM, BUT DUNN, YOUR SQUAD IS GAY. 1
By the way, since we lettin' SIDEKICKS SOUND OFF, we might as well hear what OBIE TRICE, or one of the East Side Boys, or Neef, or Tony Yayo or somebody sound off....Fuck outta here..nobody cares.....HIP IS DEAD....NAS IS THE GREATEST...AND IT'S NOT UP 4 DISCUSSION......1

man jim jones is a fuckin nerd that just came up and is takeing it to the head and trying to promote himeself.!!!! he a camara hoe.
Why does it have to be a "gimmick saying hip hop is dead" I feel that Nas really feels in his heart that hip hop is dead. Now lets not get literal because we all know that this thing of ours will live forever, BUT as far as what hip hop was when it started(70's) through the golden era of the 80's, and national exposure of early 90's, it definitely has lost it's way. i know times change and things are going to be different, BUT we cant lose sight of the foundation we built or else we wont have anything to stand on! Cats dont know the history, wanna beef all day, follow what is hot at the time to sell records instead of being themselves and putting out a true reflection of self, get caught up trying to bling, overdoing the materialism, talk about how many drugs they've sold and then think it's cool, glorify negativity so that our youth thinks that is how you should act to be an MC now days, degrade women callin them hoes, bitches, chickenheads etc, rarely balancing that out by calling them queens, good moms, princesses, lovers, or wives, thinking that record sales make you the best MC and you are garbage if you dont sell, commercialization of hip hop by almost every company putting commercials on TV with OUR culture as the hook to sell their garbage, bloodsucking from us and not allowing us to take control of what we created. Instead we see the same old capitalism with a few true representatives of the culture doing it right like Russell Simmons, LA Reid, or Jay Z. I could go on but i hope yall get the message. Why does Nas have to be "starting a beef with the whole game?" I aint feelin that, its just his honest critic of how he sees it right now. And i will bet that he would name most of the stuff i just posted as reason for his feeling that. So cats just need to move forward, use creativity, originality, rep where they are from and what they know, put messages in the music that uplift our people, take more ownership and control of the game, and last but not least respect ourselves as men and women so that our kids will grow up and have something to call their own and be proud of. Hip Hop IS INTERNATIONAL, everybody looks up to it and we are in the right position to use this for the education and empowerment of the people in the struggle...PEACE
Hip Hop is DYING, But It will be back, everything has it's go around and its time for lyrics to reign supreme again
Jim Jones is the shit, Dipset is an ill crew, fuck Nas his music sucks, he should think before he opens his mouth saying Hip Hop is dead, that comment offends a shitload of rappers/people who hopped on the new Hip Hop movement
kid above u sound like a H to the OMO like the rest of the wack as fuck dipset biches, ur name is grillmatic then u go and say fuck Nas his music sucks, u bit ur name off two of his albums u sound like a moron, the rappers/people he offends, like jim ONES(only one jones in new york, nasir), are a lot of the same who r killin hiphop, they only movin it backwards, so dumb they cant comprehend his reasons for sayin hip hop is dead
im rollin wid evil dre on this 1 - jim jones aint shit hes got 1 song that was hot (ballin) i cant even keep track of how many hits nas has got hes got that many!! jim jones is starting beef just 2 try n get his fan base up ounk ass bitch!!
YO? RUSSEL I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU DOG ON TWO THINGS GRILLMATIC IS A DUMMY ADN DIPSET IS TRASH EVEN THIER HEAD GENERAL CAM CANT SELL A FUCKIN BREATH OF AIR AND JENNY JONES TRYING TO DISS NIGGAS LIKE HOV AND NAS TO GET FAMOUS HIP HOP IS GEETING BAD B/C OF RAPPERS LIKE THAT CANT BUILD THEY OWN CAREER SO THEY TRY TO DISS NIGGAS THAT GOT ONE.
Hip Hop aint dead.. not as long as Pap, N.O.T & tha Drama King r running shit, as 4 Jim Jones, Right now his word dont mean shit NaS is above JJ in every aspect of the game.
Jim is ass (Can't touch Jay)
if you are truly a fan of hip hop how are you goin to say dipset is on the level to even to talk to nas he is a legend thats why when pppl argue who is the greatest rapper off all time its always nas biggie pac jay thats it im pretty sure that jim jones and camron are never mentioned in that talk. Nas is right hip hop is dead yea there are some rappers out that are out like cassidy, papoose, even talib kweli hesbeen in the game forever but is finally starting to get recognized more now, but they make hot songs that are true hip hop but you never here them bc radio stations will never play anything but garbage like dipset, franchise boyz, lil jon and chris brown its all wack now go cop illmatic, reasonable doubt, ready to die and listen bc without those rappers your homeboys from dipset prob. wouldnt even be out
Fuck Jim Jones , Nas is #1
I feel u jim jones I got some bussa for his ass to his wack ass nas is number none yah an if any body got somthin ta say fuck ya
Yo, All I gotta say is stop supportin the bullshit, cookie cutter, record execs manipulated, albums. Buy real hip hop, I fucks wit Nas on this one, but I think he's making the statement to make niggas rise to the challenge. If one of the best in the game is sayin shit like this, then you take that in, get on the grind, get your sound right... Thats the only way to make shit better... Of course bird ass niggas like Jenny(Jim) gon get at him, thats all he gots.. anyways if you feel like dancin, BURN all the other shit.. lol
