Byrd Gang front man Jim Jones loves to leech off industry hype. First, he throws himself in the mix of the 50 Vs. Kanye battle, and now, he has jumped into the American Gangster craze created by rival rapper Jay Z and Universal's American Gangster biopic.
Jones', who according to an MTV interview is in the studio working on his next album like a "crack dealer," recorded the Harlem's American Gangsters Mixtape with Dame Dash in less than a week.
"I did like nine songs in six days," he tells MTV. "We just started this right before the deadline. Two days for production [of the CDs], two days for promotion. We just go hard. I just want everybody to know this a free album for Harlem."
"This side is the Harlem side of Harlem. That side is the Brooklyn side of Harlem." He said referring to Jay Z's American Gangster LP hitting stores tomorrow.
"Who else could tell you about Harlem but people who really do Harlem?"
Jones asks regarding his child hood friend and Harlem's American Gangster host, Dame Dash. . "We're
still here, we didn't slip up.
"I grew up with Dame," Jones continued. "I know the trials and tribulations
that Dame went through. In my eyes, people like that are the real
Harlem American gangsters ... I watched him pay himself through private
school. ... Roc-A-Fella, the run that they had was bigger than any dope
run any drug dealer could ever imagine. Now he's sitting back reaping
the benefits. ... He's one of the wealthiest people I know, period. ...
Plus, the whole [controversy], Roc-A-Fella [breaking up], him, the
whole Jay thing, it was a good spice. [Dame is] just venting, saying
how he really feels. Same way I feel."

Jimmy shouldn't even be allowed to be a voice of and/or represent Harlem after gettin' aired out by Brooklyn smack in the HEART of Harlem @ the Rucker. PERIOD.
Now that I think about it Matic...JJ maybe paying Cam back for leaving him stranded at the Rucker by standing next 50. Just a thought.
i wanna see Cam come out and shit all over 50 and jim jones.
NIGGAZ NEED 2 PAY MORE ATTENTION 2 THA MUSIC N IGNORE THA NEXT PIECE O BULLSHIT THEY CAN SAY ABOUT A NIGGA REAL TALK MA NIGGA, IF U WISH 2 TALK SHIT ABOUT ON THIS MUFUCKIN COMPUTER GO AHEAD CUZ, I DONT DO DAT IM JUS TELLIN YALL NIGGAZ HOW I FEEL REAL SHIT
cokesign, I want to see cam come back strong as well, I've always liked cam from 98' he could have been among the names jay and nas as someone pointed out.. but he chose another rout and 50, and he went off course for a little while.. but his new mixtape is nothing short of a good listen, he's still cam, but he has a little work to do to get back to those purple haze s.d.e. days..
Brooklyn Is way harder den Harlem..Brooklyn All day American Gangster is classic material.
For any Jay fans by the way...The Track called "Fallin'" on the album is one of the hardest songs..you will love that shiit...and Jim Jones is still a Clown
What makes Brooklyn "wayyy" harder than Harlem? Enlighten us all.
I will never fuck wit Jim Jones again after i realized he is a sell out and he aint no real nigga... he just a snake ass industry nigga and he make Harlem look bad if the voice of harlem
Well good to see Jim Jones is on his grind, the mixtape wasn't bad either.
co-sign that.. The mixtape is pretty damn hot. Alot better then I expected. If he stay on his grind and bust his ass in the studio..Is upcoming album just might be something to look out for
BROOKLYN BE LIKE " tanto capo el capo" PERO JIMMY LETEM KNOW todo bien
SPANISH HARLEM YEMEEN
yeah nice shit but he still garbage and his mixtape os trash and next album prolly gonna b wack...nothin new
the 7 day theory was hot unexpectedly so im willin 2 listen 2 dis mixtape even tho i dnt fuck wit jungle jim like dat he did step his rap game up a lil bit but he still rap off beat!
jones and dame tapped jay quite a bit throughout the entire mixtape...but i can't think of another artist who can be the spokesperson for harlem so i would have to say that jimmy is that guy
dont cam'ron run harlem?
cam makes jenny go get him cake across the bridge. he owns jones' bitch ass..
F..K JIMMY AND THEM THIGHT ASS JEANS. HELL RELL ALL DAY!!!!!!!!

Big L and Biggie are turning in their graves for how this game is
JimmyJo...
He has no credibility what so fuckin' ever.
He's a bitch in real life and A bitch in the studio.
Create cha' own buzz and get off of Hov's dick!
DAME........Dame's a damn shame...point blank!
~Be Eazy!
Jimm is snitch
deeeeetroit....
y'all niggaz always turn shit into somethin' it aint... The mixtape is hot, point blank period. and Jimmy represent Harlem period. and YES he has a point disagreeing with Jay talkin' bout somethin' that was a Harlem thing...
I'm from Harlem but I'll give niggas in brooklyn props and a quote these niggas can put on myspace:
"
only the dead know Brooklyn." - Thomas Wolfe
MAN JIM JONES SHOULD NEVER HAD JOIN G UNIT OR GAY UNIT
f jimmy man let him go make money with tha GGGG gay-unit
look at that nigga face at 4:14 that shit is comedy
I know niggas from Brooklyn copied that quote. Don't front.
Jenny officially hit an all time low with these diss tracks, and mixtape he's spewing in response to Jay's american gangster... first this nigga buys into money over his loyalty and friendship with cam, LAME, second this nigga has the audacity to come at hov, again... and he has no source??? LAME, finally this bum aired himself out on the mic when he claimed he's the best rapper alive, LAME
only two words come to mind when i think of this cat again..
AMERICAN WANKSTA
agreed
This nigga jim jones wud be better off sellin cabbages. I guess we all see why nas say hip hop is dead, at least for as long as this bitch around
Word...Jim Jones is the professional Cock Jockey of the industry...no one really worries about this nigga, real talk...I know Jay made a few tracks and aired him out basically, but the taste of defeat is a bad taste aint it Jimmy?
In an invterview Jones called Frank Lucas a snitch, lmao has Jim Jones even been in a position like that? Funny thing is, he only sold out cops crooked politicians etc., he aint snitch on anyone below him, thats a waste of time...hence why the nigga can show his face still in Harlem...fuckin moron, Nicky Barnes is a different story, why you think he went into Witness Protection? I mean damn, it bothers me that niggas at they age cant even use their brains to decipher whats really poppin in the streets...Jim Jones is living in a reality bullshit TV show...bottom line he needs to fall off Hov's tip and take 5...at this point he die today he gonna be known as Jay-Z's top cock jockey...
thats right niggas gunit aint the only niggas making money you mad? only real niggas should talk about harlem not that gay-z 40 old head you ever see harlem people talking bout bk? i thought not so get off the dick and watch a real nigga do this...
jim jones is trash!!!! byrd gang is trash!!!!! american gangster is classic!!!!! jay z is a legend!!!!! rest in peace 2 my dude stack bundles !!!!!!! he was the only reason i even tolerated byrd gang without him they are wack!!!!!!!!!!!!
sbtch trying to be like camsaying its a free ixtape
fuck jim jones thats y he got robbed in rochester for his chain bitchass nicca lol niggas to hood over here
wow at the haters. Byrd Gang is a sick group. Max B is one of the most illest dudes right now.
I’m from Brooklyn,…Jimmy should know by now “Harlem makes it Brooklyn Takes it”, so what Frank Lucas is from Harlem, the Album is called “American Gangster”,…not Harlem, Not Brooklyn, not Queens.
Him and Dame are looking like an Ex girlfriend that wants to buy the same ride her ex just copped just to stay relevant,…Jay smashed them, his album is pure lyrics over hard hitting soul beats,…the day Jimmy & Dame put out an album like that I guess Cam will stop standing outside the Apollo handing out his Trashy ass Mix tape
That nigga aint Shit, hate
Jim Jones? Word!?... Ummm did I leave somethin' in here? I dont kno why i'm botherin readin about dis fag. Every news shit about has somethin 2 do with his obesession over Jay or how he backstabbed Camron.
Jim Jones= Paris Hilton of the rap game
