MTV Raw Jim Jones Interview

Jimmy talks about the death of Stack Bundles, the future of hip hop, the future of Dipset and Jay-Z.

Jim Jones Issues Statement Regard Stack Bundles

Posted on Jimmy's Myspace Where do we begin? The Dipset/ByrdGang family is deeply saddened by our loss. Not only did we lose a member but we lost a brother and a friend. Rayquon Elliot a.k.a Stack Bundles was a joy to be around, charming, very intelligent, compassionate and concerned about the upliftment and enrichment of his community and the people in it. Unfortunately his goals and aspirations were cut short by the hands of dream stealers. We can not stress enough that a young star's light was put out before he had a chance to shine in front of the world. We would like this to be a lesson to the rap game...too many of our talented artist are losing the battle of life before their voices have a chance to be heard. Something must change...

Did You Know Jay-Z Doesn't Like Dipset?

Apparently, Kid Carpi went to spin Dipset at Jay-Z club 40/40 and the track was immediately pulled. Dipset isn’t allowed to spin at Jay-Z club. Source From The Polo Fleece To The Jesus Piece has that Lil' Wayne Enrique Iglesias joint I mentioned the other day. There is a rumor that 50 Cent added Young Jeezy and 3 more tracks to 'Curtis'. I hope that clears up all the international release date problems...

Crazy day at Rap city today.

Dipset Breakup Rumors - Don't Believe The Hype

Despite the denial from members of the group, some rumors of a breakup still persist. Jimmy discussed the much publicized rumors of tension within the Diplomats today on DJ Kay Slay's Shade 45 radio show. Kay Slay asked Jimmy about the current status of the Diplomats and Capo said: Everything is everything; it's still Diplomats for life. Shout out to Juelz, he's working an album, he's also working on an album with Lil' Wayne called I Cant Feel My Face; shout out to Freekey Zeekey, shout out to Killa. Audio here Jimmy also had some things to say about Nostic and his mother Nancy [Listen Here]. Thanks to Sohh for the audio. Check out my interviews with Nancy Jones from Mothers Day and the interview with Zeke, where they say the same thing about the rumors of a breakup. That picture of Juelz has to do with any of this.

New Scratch Magaine

The July/August issue of Scratch presented by XXL (hits stands next week) is going to be loaded with information that I know you are dying to hear about. -Lil Wayne on playing the guitar, working with Dr. Dre and why The Carter 3 won’t drop until 2008. -Mannie Fresh on his new deal at Def Jam and how he got back in the studio with Lil Wayne, BG and Juvenile. -An exclusive trip inside the Koch Records offices and the history of Alan Grunblatt, the man who put Cam on the phone. -DipSet’s DukaDaGod on how producers can get their beats to Cam, Jimmy, Juelz and the rest of the crew. More info here, spotted via Nah Right.

Official Curtis Cover and Some Comments on Cam

Turns out the police looking badge that was first rumored to be the cover to 'Curtis' was just fake. This cover looks like something taken from a magazine article about 50, it also looks like it could be a Brother Ali cover (you know what I mean). Maybe a title like 'Mr. Jackson' would have been better and fit the style of this cover better. In an MTV News article 50 says comments on the Cam situation: He's doing more damage to his crew than I could ever do. He's put them in a real awkward situation with his choices. When they had momentum, they had Jimmy out there doing records, Juelz was out there, they was doing good. Then they let this guy out there and look what happened. It's gonna be a 'hot summer.' What is he talking about? I'm waiting for the summer. After hearing directly from members of Dipset about the situation between Cam and Jimmy I will say that their beef is all being greatly exaggerated. I don't know if they all agree with what Cam is doing but I expect they are going to stand by him on all of this. The whole beef between 50 and Cam is a help to both artists, as long as it stays online (as it seems so far) things will be all good. If Cam doesn't bother 50 as much as he says he doesn't then he will stop talking about him. Jay didn't do much to help out Cam, he kept pretty quiet even with Cam saying Beyonce's name. Either Cam is really under 50's skin and he is about to self destruct or 50 knows the game well enough and is just going along with it because it is good press for everyone.

50's Response To Cam's Pool Video

50 sent (get it) Miss Info his response to the video shot by Cam'ron in response to 50's BET remarks. As you would expect 50 went straight for the jugular with the my pool is bigger than your pool response- My whirlpool is bigger than Cam’s swimming pool. And he shouldn’t be in front of no camera with daisy dukes on. Curtis is going to have to do better than that. All these responses to responses via blogs and online videos are leading up to some big ether right? Probably not, just more promotion for 50's new album. "June Fucking First, Curtis"

Cam'ron Answering To Curtis While On Vacation

Part 1: Part 2: Yes, Cam played right into it. 50 was on BET yesterday and called out Cam. When responding to whether he has heard from Cam 50 responded something like "I haven’t heard anything since he got punched in the eye…Go ask Tru life". That 50 is such a showman. Here are links to the video of 50's BET appearance Part 1 and Part 2. With 'Curtis' coming out soon I expect this situation to escalate some. I still can't believe Cam's video. "June Fucking First, Curtis"

Rumors Rumors Rumors

Keep in mind these are all rumors-- Lil Wayne and Game to collaborate on a mixtape called 'Blood Bothers' via The Fader Juelz Santana to leave The Diplomats and join Birdman Jr's Young Money Entertainment. I have an even better idea, Young Money goes to Def Jam and then 'I Can't Feel My Face' will see the light of day. David Banner has auditioned for a role in The Dark Knight (the new Batman movie). He is being tapped to play the role of a bad guy named "Gamble" via MTV Movies Blog Michael Jackson is trying to block an auction from selling off some of his memorabilia including whitening creams, sex toys and inappropriate pictures of children. Source Page Six Not really a rumor but some real Watchmen news to get excited about.

Mothers Day Edition - Interview With Nancy Jones (Jimmy's Capo)

I had the chance to speak with Nancy Jones mother of Jim Jones. Nancy is the Chairman /CEO of Nostic Apparel and Jimmy is the President. For more information on Nostic visit their web site, for store locations visit their myspace page. On June 23rd in NYC Juelz Santana and S.A.S. will be preforming for the 4th Annual Santana's Town Fashion show. Not only will the show feature performances but you will be able to check out Nositc and Nancy's Couture line Jonezz. Pick up tickets here. Nancy is a very proud mother and a very nice woman. Today she will be celebrating what she says will be her best Mothers Day yet. With a family business starting and her son Ballin' I don't see why it wouldn't be. JJ: Explain what Nostic is to you? How are you achieving this? Nancy Jones: Nostic is New Revolution of the mind and spirit. How you feel within yourself. JJ: You have a womans couture line too called Jonezz, what exactly is that? Nancy: Jonezz, pronounced Jones is more of a couture line for woman and children. Jonezz is a twist of class, everything is denim. Jonezz is the kind of denim that you can wear to weddings, promos. Everything is denim mixed with many other fabrics. I've been out to the club and seen people not get in because they had denim on and I am dressed in Jonezz and I get right in. JJ: What are you favorite designers, what inspires the fashion? Nancy: I don't look at anyone else. My mother and grandmother inspired me, I was always making clothes. When I was 9 years old I was making outfits for my Barbie Dolls. I graduated from FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) and since I was 9 this is what I wanted to do. JJ: I get a lot of questions about the belts that Jimmy and Juelz wear? People ask where they can find them, is that something included in the Nostic collection? Nancy: That business is going to collide with Nostic, they are not yet a part of the collection but they are in development. Soon you are going to see Jimmy dressed head to toe in Nostic. JJ: I read that Freekey Zekey is going to be rocking Nostic on his new album? Is that true? Nancy: He is! Thats true, we had a photo shoot 2 weeks ago. We have been getting a lot of attention- MIMS called me a few weeks ago looking for a Nostic hoodie that he could wear for a video and Redman called looking for a Nostic hat. JJ: Nostic is all about freedom of expression and spiritual beliefs and dealing with life's everyday obstacles, what do you say to someone who is faced with the obstacles of the financial inability to buy a t-shirt or a hoddie. Nancy: I know for a fact that we will cater to everyone. Prices are going to be higher on signature t-shirts, but we are going to have different types for people that can't afford the signature items. We are not going to forget about anyone. JJ: Is the Nostic perspective in harmony or conflict with an otherwise Christian or Biblical outlook? Nancy: Not a conflict, it is all about how you feel and representing that. People struggle between good and bad, Nositc is for those people. JJ: Since it is Mothers Day weekend, I'm going to have to ask you a few things about your family and yourself as a mother. What was your best Mothers Day that you can remember with Jimmy? Nancy: Everyday is, every day I get to see my children. JJ: My mom says that too, but really what was the best mothers day? I know you have one. Nancy: This one will be really special, we are starting a family business, it is a beautiful time for the family. Good things have happened this year for us. Seven is Jimmy's lucky number and we are in the year '07 and seven is the number of the Lord. We have had a really good year, so this mothers day will be my favorite. JJ: What was the best thing Jimmy has ever given you for Mothers Day? Nancy: I wear it everyday, he got me a ring with all my children's birthstone on it. JJ: How many children do you have? Nancy: Seven, it is like the Brady Bunch. JJ: How many boys and girls? Nancy: Jimmy was the only boy until I got remarried and now he has a step brother. All the sisters work on the clothing line together, it is really a beautiful thing. JJ: So Precious Jones is Jimmy's sister? Nancy: Oh, you know Precious. Yeah she is working on the line. JJ: Jimmy said something on BET that really gave me some insight into his work ethic. When talking about people making it in the industry he said that people need to try as hard as they can and then question themselves if they are really trying as hard as possible. Is this something you used to tell him? Nancy: That is my motto. You have to know struggle to appreciate your accomplishments. If things are handed to you on a silver platter you don't appreciate it. You really have to understand the struggle and never give up. Patience is the key to virtue. JJ: What are you favorite songs of Jimmy's? Nancy: I like "Summer in Miami" and "I'm in Love With A Thug." JJ: What is your favorite record, by another artist? Nancy: The only artist I really love is Jimmy. Although Robin Thick is messed up, in a good way. I'm going to make Jimmy and Robin get together to make a record. JJ: Have you heard "Shooter" with Lil Wayne? Nancy: Oh yea, that track is really messed up. I like Lil Wayne too. My son is so versatile I don't want to see him just raping, I want to see him do everything. I would like to see Jimmy could do a rock song, an R&B song. JJ: I have to ask, and if you don't want to answer this question you don't have to. What is up with Jimmy and Cam'ron. There has been a lot of rumors going around this week do you have any insight onto what is going on? Nancy: Everybody has to realize that people go through ups and downs in a relationship and they most of all need to realize that. Things get blown out of proportion. Jimmy and Cam'ron are always going to be together no matter what, the Diplomats are like a family. JJ: Thank you very much for the interview and I hope you have a happy Mothers Day. Nancy: Thank you for the interview and wish your mom a happy Mothers Day from me as well.

The Shirt That Might Have Broken Up Dipset

Pictured above is Freeky and Juelz. You might recognize the red painted walls as that of Juelz's studio. Rumors are starting to circulate that it was these shirts that might be the center of the issues with the diplomats. These shirts are put out by True Love and False Idols and Cam'ron might have had some different feelings about an outside company putting Diplomat merchandise out. I stress the word might because at this point I don't really believe in this beef and I can't believe that this would be what set Cam over the edge. More images at Complex Magazine's Blog.

DukeDaGod & Dipset - Intro / More Than Music / Street Pharmacist

Video for DukeDaGod's "More Than Music Vol. 2 Intro", "Still More Than Music" & "Street Pharmacist" featuring 40 Cal, Juelz Santana, J.R. Writer, Hell Rell & A-Mafia. 'More Than Music Vol. 2' is in stores right now. The big blog news of the day is that Jesus Piece is back.

Jim Jones - Lockdown, USA (Feat. Rell)

Jimmy releases "Lockdown, USA" which is featured in the upcoming documentary "Lockdown, USA", directed by Rebecca Chaiklin and Michael Skolnik about Russell Simmons' campaign to end the Rockefeller Drug Laws. This track was recorded specifically for the movie and isn't on P.O.M.E. Another timely release for the Diplomats.

Dipset News From Last Night

Jimmy wasn't on Flex last night, but tonight Duke da God, Juelz, Zeke, and the whole of Dipset will be on Funk Flex. This appearance is said to be to solely to promote their new album, 'Duke Da God and Cam’ron Presents: Dipset More Than Music 2.' This new More Than Music collection is released today, so was this all just one big publicity stunt? It seems that way, even if Jimmy and Cam get in a fist fight people are going to be yelling that they are doing so only to sell records. Cam continually steps into beef and has gained lots of press over the past year as result. So why not go head to head with someone from your own clique. It screams HHH vs Shawn Michaels. The fact of the matter is that more people know Cam today than they did last year and this all works to his advantage. Even if many people now know Cam as "the idiot from 60 Minutes" people still know his name and the appearance got his name in everyones mouth. I can't help but wonder if this beef with Jimmy is real, will Cam change the name to his new album once again? For more check out Status Ain't Hood.

Dipset Splitset? Diplomats to break up?

According to Miss Info: Jim Jones or the Diplomats 300 are “putting Cam’ron on punishment.” According to an inside source (via Miss Info), Juelz Santana is not siding against Cam According to a Dipset insider (again via Miss Info), there are other members of Dipset who are also totally taken by surprise by this sentiment from Jim Jones, and they are also not in agreement. Here is a quote from Jimmy on the whole situation: “Me and Cam’ron haven't spoken to each other in a year…. I kept quiet out of loyalty, I felt like if we cant be friends then at least we can do business together….But now I can’t be next to you….I’m through wit being in hot water because of you….We still the Diplomats. We worked too hard to achieve our own success and now we’re gonna do something new….” Monday night, Jimmy is gonna be on the Funkmaster Flex Show (featuring Miss Info’s Celebrity Drama) on Hot97. One has to wonder if the 60 Minutes piece really put Jimmy over the edge with Cam.

Tru Life Punches Cam'ron (Video)

Tru Life Punches Cam'ron

The following is taken from SOHH: A fist fight between Dipset rapper Cam'ron and Tru Life last night (April 30) has New York's Power 105 morning show host Ed Lover grappling to get the two sides to sit down and make peace. This morning, Ed Lover reported the incident on his "Ed Lover Show with Egypt & Ashy." According to Lover, the two feuding MCs allowed their previously verbal beef to come to physical blows in front of a New York City club. "What happened last night was Cam was standing in front of Club Stereo and Tru Life confronted him about what's been going on back and forth on the mixtapes and they got into a physical confrontation. Pretty much Tru Life hit Cam, cops broke it up and everyone dispersed," Ed Lover told SOHH exclusively. No major injuries occurred and no one in either party has been arrested. Additionally, Ed Lover is currently doing his part to step in and prevent any further violence.
