This is Jim Jones Documentary (Chapter 4: On Top Of The Roc)
"Retaliation Is a Must"-Jim Jones
Interesting. This episode delves into the tension between Dame, Cam and the Dips and Jay-Z. On one hand I can see why Jay was so scorned, yet when it comes down to it, the Dips had proven themselves as a valuable commodity early after their signing. what's wrong with putting your homies on if they are talented? Shit is also sad because of the rare footage of the Dipset united back in 03-04. Shit's disgusting. Also worth a mention; no up to date interview from Cam (lol)

Music Review: Jim Jones: Pray IV Reign

Jim Jones: Pray IV Reign
6/10
Ex-Diplomats hypeman and tough talker, Jim Jones has done seemingly the impossible. He's come from under his boss and mentor and managed to carve his own niche, parlaying the fate of similar "right hand man" artist failures. However with all of his accomplishments, his 4th album "Pray IV Reign" is ultimately a disappointing album that does little to show his growth.
"Reign" is a bit heavier on the more mainstream side than the thug posturing of his earlier efforts, but Jim is more comfortable in this spot. "Pop Champagne" has run the charts for a while with its infectious hook and braggadocios claims of wealth, and the Ryan Leslie assisted "Precious" is strictly for the females and is classy without being corny.
Jones waxes nostalgic on tracks like "My, My, My" dedicated to slain rapper Stack Bundles, and "Let It Out", two of the strongest tracks on the disc, that will honestly surprise the most jaded Jim Jones nonbeliever.
While Jones' strength has never been his lyrical delivery, he usually has great production on his albums. "Reign" has half-baked and derivative production by Chink Santana and Ron Brownz (who should really know better). "How To Be A Boss" features Ludacris and Busta Rhymes over a Swizz Beatz soundalike track created by Brownz, "Frenemies" is ripped straight from Jay-Z's "A Week Ago" (Jay is ironically Jones' enemy on wax). The biggest offender of the album is the juvenile "Medicine" which manages to rip off (surprise surprise) "Jigga What, Jigga Who", and be lyrically terrible as well.
"Reign" sounds like an extended Byrdgang album, bookmarked by the many appearances by the (unimpressive) group on the album. "Reign" had good intentions, but maybe next time Jim should Pray for a more cohesive album.

Cam & Jim speak for the first time...
I think that it's a wonderful thing that they had a convo, but I still believe that Cam will be fine on his own. I'm ok with the Dips being somewhat seemingly done for the time being.

Jim Jones Interview: Speaks on T.I., Cam, Nas, Max B

Full Interview Here:
On Cam:
Is there regret that a good friendship was ruined by the business?
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.
You think that can be reconciled?
I don’t know about that. That’s another conversation.
On T.I.:
A lot of people were surprised with your comments to Complex regarding T.I.
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, n*gg*s don’t run to go look like no Kanye. I don’t hear n*gg*s in the ‘hood like I need to get that jacket Jay had on.
On Nas:
Is there any possibility of a reconciliation?
What kind of reconciliation? 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.
On Max B:
Was there any truth to his claims that he punched you in the face?
This is me. Let’s be realistic. That’s why I’m laughin'. When I was coming at n*gg*s, it was dead serious, like when I see you n*gg*, it’s on. Not when I see you, you start runnin’ from me. I don’t know no gangsters that do that type of sh*t.
