In a recent interview with Rhapsody, Jones shot down any chances of reconciliation with Nas after beefing with the rapper on behalf of former friend, Cam' Ron.
"Fuck Nas. I don’t give a fuck about Nas. He’s a rapper that just lost his pizazz. When I was in high school, he was the sh*t. He was the n*gg* that got us hyped. “New York State of Mind,” Illmatic and all of that" said Jones.
"I was never cool with him. I seen Nas a few months ago in L.A. with Dame. We was staying in this hotel right above the Ferrari dealership. Dame seen him and was talking to him. I was laying back on a couch laughing. He didn’t know what to do. I was looking dead at him. [Laughs.] And then Dame was like, “You know Jim?” He started [stammering], “Ah? Ah?” Dame is just burnt out. He not thinking about none of that frivolous [beef] sh*t. Me neither, for the most part. Nas was never on my level ever. Ever."
When asked whether he regrets the situation with Cam, Jones retorted
"there’s never no regrets. As you get older, you lose friends. But you make new rapports and it’s all about the money and taking care of your family. It was a good friendship though."
In other news…
Jones also clarifies his comments regarding T.I. saying people took it the wrong way.
"People took it the wrong way. I wasn’t really deliberately doing nothing to knock T.I. I was just saying what I felt regarding swagger and who sets the precedent for it. I know for sure that people have said, "Yo, you looking like Jim Jones. I’m trying to get that 'Jim Jones' look." But I haven’t heard people saying you’re looking like T.I. or whoever. Where I’m from, niggas don’t run to go look like no Kanye. I don’t hear niggas in the ‘hood like I need to get that jacket Jay had on."

why this nigga all of a sudden poppin off on niggas...seems to me he doing sum ol 50 cent shit
One of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE Cam'ron lines: Me and Jim Jones stay fightin' 2 on 20.
Then, I saw the Rucker footage. End of story. Faggot ass mufucka.
WHY DO SUPER WACK AS RAPPERS START TO DISS GOOD/GREAT MC's WHEN THEY START FALLIN OFF THE MAP....... THEN THIS NIGGA HAD THE NERVE TO SAY NAS WASNT ON HIS LEVEL, IM NOT GOING TO EVEN COMMENT ON THAT.... ALSO DID YALL READ THE END THIS NIGGA SAID THAT PEOPLE DONT TRY TO DRESS LIKE KANYE, WTF JIMMY KANYE IS PROLLY THE MOST "TRENDSETTING FASION FOWARD" RAPPER IN A WHILE....
I DOUBT NAS WILL EVEN DISS HIM.
i cant believe Jim said that Nas wasnt on his level. that was the most stupid shit i ever heard come out his damn mouth. i wanna punch this stupid motherfucker in the face.
Damn A Week Lata And This Nigga Still Bitching,WTF??!! Ha Ha I Guess These Rap Niggaz Ain't Happy Until They Get A Pat On Tha Bacc Or Sum Fuccin Form Of Attention..So I'm Guessing It Cleary Ain't All About Tha Money And Fam But Rather Attention Like A Lil Teen Bitch..If It Was About Tha Money Then Get Ya Paper And Bounce.Damn Jones I Actually Tried To Give This Emotional Cat A Chance And Wut Do He Do? Turn Around And Make Himself Look Like A Complete Mark..As Far As Nas Goes,Jim My Nig U Never Made It To A 1/4's Way To Nas' Level Homie..Fa Real.. Scream At Me,1..
Jim Jones did not introduce skull heads and heavy metal/alternative music to hip hop... Cypress Hill did that way back in the early 90's.
So stop saying he started trends, when Emo kids have been wearing those tight ass jeans and shirts for a minute.
If anything, Jim/Wayne owe those rock kids an acknowledgement.
hahahaha, jenny is funny as hell. i think he missed his callin as a comedian. nas not on his level. how many classic has this succa ass nigga made, i'll tell ya, absolutely zero. nas is a hip hop icon and jenny jones is an irrelevent nigga trying to hold on to the lil bit shine he ever had. nas not on his level, quite possibly the dumbest statement of the year. i think those tight clothes cuttin of the blood flow to this niggas head.
why is he talkin about who dresses better? jimmy looks like he's been shoppin at The Gap with that sweater and beanie.
fuck jim jones point blank niggas aint got shit to do but hate and if nas dropped an album next week with 3 tracks it would sell more than 17 000
i think what he meant when he said nas was never on his level was nas was always a couple steps higher.........max biggavelle is the shit go listen to his shit
dude u have never been on nas level about anything as long as u been alive jimmy. nobody wants to b u, nobody ever thought u were a good rapper, u look like a queer specially wit ur gay pirate chain, just shut the fuck up n get back wit juelz at least thats ur only chance of stayin a success. only good song u had was ballin n thats cuz u were still dipset.
It's always the muthafuckas with 30 bodyguards with them at all times that talk the most shit.
This is the same dude that tried to start beef at a fuckin' CHRIS BROWN b-day party last year!
I blame the dickeaters for makin' bums like JimmyJo act the way he acts!
I'd smack the shit outta some dude if I saw him in the store asking for a JimmyJones makeover!
Fuck outta here lame ass!
~Be Eazy!
i sincerely believe he puffs a gang of purple before all of his interviews. what planet does he live on to say that when he was in highschool he was bumping nas joints, then turn around and say Nas was never on his level.
it's funnier when Dame asks "You know Jim????" LMAO Jim jones been call himself Coofi Smacker for like six years now and you didn't know they were beefing (for a stupid reason that Cam'ron created). That's probably why Cam don't fuck with him no more. Atleast when Cam makes comments it's not so far fetched (like when he called Curtis out on Hot97). Jim Jones aint had a hit since Fly High, so why is he acting like he's Hip-Hop elite???? he didn't have a hit before that by himself either. Dude is fun to listen to sometimes, but he's definately not on the level to be talking this reckless. Seems really out of touch with reality... and corny. Drop a hot record that people outside of Harlem will listen to, then talk shit. it doesn't work the other way around.
p.s.- "Swag"/"Swagger" is seeming more and more gay everyday. it even sounds gay when guys say it. i though girls were the only ones that are supposed to be talking about another guys "swag". we might need a new word for this one. in the words of Jim Jones "No Homo".
All Jonesy is doing is crying for attention. Who really would be shook of him while he is in his Tight jeans and tight @$$ shirts? Are you serious?
He is right though, him and Nas aren't on the same level......... Jones can't jump that high......
LOL this nigga think he the Fresh Prince!!! some of these niggas be feelin themselves way to much... Thats why NAS is the realest cause the real dont talk they just listen
jim jones is a fuckin clown bottom line what about when tru life went down yo mitt in the club??? ooops wuznt spose 2 say dat!
In 10 more years Nas will be remembered as one of the greatest and Jim Jones will be bagging groceries at save-mart.
This is a desperate attempt to get someone to diss-resurrect his failing career....
As Cams hype man gone wild.
... he ran out of people to diss at to make an album so h picked Nas.
what a monkey
i know, right. 4foot 12 ass dude
"I'd smack the shit outta some dude if I saw him in the store asking for a JimmyJones makeover!"
lmao!
It's alright guys. I know where his sudden anger is coming from. This nigga's M.O.B compilation bullshit sold like 2 copies and he's trying to convince himself that he gets $7 off of one copy because it's independent. Jim Jones is a failure as far as the rap game is concerned. He's like the Matt Leinart of the rap game.
jim ass hiz wack as adlibs dat dertty ni99a aint ballin how yu ballin wit fuckd up t's hair aint done hiz dayz are over dip set had they time only ni99a thatz gone make it is JUELEZ
uhh jim, u fuckin suck at the moment and were NEVER better than nas
just make music, drop another good album like Hustler's POME, and just shut the fuck up
This nigga wack!!!
This 1 hit wonder muthafucka is sayin Nas, Arguably the Greatest of All Time, was never on his level? Haha this nigga just tryin to get attention so someone will fuckin listen to him reminds me of some Shawty Lo shit.
I use to like Jim Jones, but now he makes me sick! He always got sumthin to say about other people who are way better than him. He aint on Jay or Naz level. I agree he on sum 50 cen t S**T! Jim Jones need to step his game up instead of dissin TI, Jay, and Nas who he will never compare to!!!
jim jones is known for bein a dirty nigga,for gettin his ass beat at the rucker and for gettin his ass beat by tru life wat a career! he does make nice songs 4rm time to time tho...but he aint got shit on my nigga nas
put the barrell in tha CAPO, till his scalp come out, u a kid, u don't live what u rap about, king poetic too papa to count to many haters to count qb bitch
@big freeze, dont you mean he look like he shop at baby gap.
Thats just nuts. How he gon say nas was never on his level. Its the other way around. I fucks wit jim but not on that. Nas is one of the best to do this. Jimmy aint on nobodies top 50 of all time or 100. and that crying about that ti track is corny. just get that money jim. leave the greats alone.
myspace.com/iamhectic
You're right man. But hey, im willing to bet that more BLACK FOLKS will vote for McCain than PEOPLE that would say Jim Jones is better than Nas. ..who want in???
i think jim jones is right.. nas isnt on his level and he never was.....
nas would never stoop that low
jim gotta have an album comin out cuz he only beefs when he tryna promaote something.he needs 2 chill out and keep setin standards 4 fashion....ya right
jimmy jus shut up lol....he talks the most shit
I ain't never heard nobody say they want that jim jones look, that's gay! tight jeans wearing ass nigga! Fuck swagger Jim, get a hot record, get some awards, start producing, do sumtin with your life!
Jim jones is starting to sound like a true hater! All of a sudden he's going in on artists who is achieving and keeping it moving! Dipset was the movement and sorry to say that's it for jim on that. He was the weakest link rapping wise but business wise he's smart.
He's not on NAS's Level, Nas is moving differently and T.I has no worries at this moment in time...just check the billboard....lol
all these rap nigga's are hater and snitchy cent is their leader.
Thats the only way he can stay in the media is to talk shit... Taking the so called 50 approach in the rap game but isn't maintaining shit!!!
Dipset dipset 730 byrdgang skull gang team aura
none the less Cam should always be your Ace Boon Coon... If it wasn't for him you would be in and out of jail from standing on the corner!!! Quite frankly I think Max B wrote all his shit. But they got that Max ducking and hiding, I heard Freekey Zekey smash on that nigga at the strip club?
well shit atleast 50 know how to make a hit, so i guess this nigga aint really takin 50's whole approach.
dis guy has lost his marbles. now he talkin shit bout Nas. he cant flo foreal. Ryder Muzik wuz da best shit he done then wen he came out wit Ballin he jus sunk lower and lower. then his TI comments. dude jus want attention dat he not gettin. and y u gon sit and stare and laugh at sum1 u got issues wit. dis aint jr. high. haha
another rapper shot down...jim jones above nas....what he is smoking is,what I want,lol jimmy eat a dick wanna be thug
That's that old Curtis Jackson manuver. Byrdgang ain't doing shit, so he gotta come with something. Better worry about getting his shit back from Jo Jo and them Global cats.
yo i wasnt going to speak about jim jones cuz i try to ignore the shit being he made some good music like pome was an ill album but eversince then he just actin too damn cocky and ungrateful of his sucess the nigga blessed and doing something that niggas wish they could do and he fuckin it up for people who want it i understand he had niggas doin that rockshit which i respect being different but to say nas is not on your level then u bite lines or try to slander jay for what the fuck he wears thats piss poor quality when being an man like this aint high school u dont rank an grown man clothes hell rell said it once he chaingin and for him to diss cam thats an spit in the face hope he dont let shit blow up in his face cuz iw ould like to see the old dipset movement back
I also try to stay away from dissing stupid artists or calling celebs stupid, cuz I don't know them... but damn Jim stupid! How you gonna attack Nas and Jay? How? And don't even lie Jim! You know you had to get Cam to explain those lyrics in NY State of Mind haha
this man needs to shut up! he sucks ass
Wow.
Well...we know whose been eating their Wheaties.
Nas never on your level? You damn right. He could NEVER be that ass. Never.
Don't know where the fuck he's been but people everywhere dressing like Kanye (no matter how gay it is), unless he's been living under a rock.
As far as Jay & T.I.
T.I.'s albums sells confirm he's still the King of the south.
And
Jimmy...the reason niggas don't go in the stores trying to buy "Jay-Z outfits"
is because niggas can't afford "Jay-Z outfits".
damn fool...
Peace!
lol that was real talk like a muthafucka
he's like 50 cent :S
Jim Jones is irrelevant. He's a fake ass jeezy with all of those adlibs.
Jim Jones is so fucking wack and he is dissing Nas!!
Jim Jones is a one hit wonder....just like Cadillac Don (Peanut Butter Jelly LMAO)...just like the Shop Boyz....just like Hurricane Chris...Etc
Nas is a multiplatinum rapper...
@snyde add M.I.M.S. to ya list of one hit wonders.
Well, u can say whut u want but @ least he aint lyin about Nas bein on hiz level, becuz honestly, Nas neva SUKK'd da way Jim Jones does, one hit & dis nigga think he iz a god MC or sumthin
"BALLLLLIN" LOL, stupid azz nigga
Dear Nas,
Please Ether this stupid ass motherfucker.
Sincerely,
The Hip Hop community

lmaoo this nigga dont even deserve comments.....waste of time...
i dont get this shit, who da fuck does this nigga think he is??? what makes him think he can start poppin off on rappers who aint even in the same league as him? first Jay nd TI nd now Nas, fuck i swear i hope they put this faggot in his place. Jim Jones aint neva gonna be half the MC Nas TI nd HOV are...
Realtalk somebody gotta check this nigga, he gotta step his game down, have you ever noticed he can't make a diss song, or mixtape without goin off the next nigga idea, or song?
And the shit that blow me is, how in the fuck can you fix your dusty ass face to say something about niggaz you bit lines off of, when you was cool wit the nigga Jay, and when you wasn't, you was signed to the nigga Jay, he made cam and them niggaz famous!
Jim Jones..shut your fucking face. Crawl to a hole, and don't ever show your face again.
Maybe NaS isn't Up To Jones' Level of Facial Hair...I Don't What Else To Say.
I Never Heard Anybody Say, "I'm Looking For That Jim Jones Look."
Stuffy Nose Ass Nigga Always Sound Like He Whinin' Or About To Cry On A Track.
And Why Is He Wearing A Purse?
The Only Reason People Ask For The Jim Jones Look Is Because You Could Buy His Swagga....Not T.I.'s Swag.
IDK what Jimmy talking about, katz was dressing like T.I. in 03-04 with the tilted hat and rubberband. they definitely was dressing like Jay-Z from 96 to now with the Rocafella chains, jean jacket outfits from his videos. Come on Jim Jones, just not to long ago u was just making cameo appearances in Cam's videos ex. "Horse & Carriage". you make one hot single that the world loves and now you can speak about swag on T.I. & Jay-Z? you gotta surpass them first chief!
Jenny is just talkin some reckless shit now..your bitch ass needs to make some hits first before you pop off
what you retarded or something did you just say he need to make hits you talkin about him like he a new nigga or something

He's right about that. Him & Nas definatly aren't on the same level... Lol...What a joke, with his extra medium pants on.
Whoa Jim Jones must be upset. He must finally realize that dipset is over. So he takes shots at other people.

well JIm jones was probably one of the worst Dipset members anyway
jim jones dat nigga
the economy's down, he gotta do something to spark his sales, nobody's buying jim Jones records
Nas Dropped Illmatic which got 5mics when Jim was still hanging around the corner, and he got the nerve to even compare himself to Nas? What a joke! Jim is not even on Juelz level, dickhead!
