Jim Jones Comments on Jay-Z... Again

C: What do you think is the main the reason for their turmoil?(Dame & Jay-Z)
Jim Jones: I don’t know what their turmoil is. You know why I’m pissed off at him [Jay-Z]? He was my favorite rapper and then he just went out like a dud. He had a chance to do the unthinkable and then he did the unthinkable. Where I’m from, loyalty is everything, above and beyond everything. When you violate that, it fucks everything up. Especially when you were the hustler’s poster child and you chose to become a corporate stepchild. That don’t make sense when you’re all black-owned. I took an executive position because I didn’t know the game, I took it to learn both sides of the game; there’s a difference.

Jim Jones sat down with Complex Magazine and this is what he had to say about Jay-Z and Dame Dash....and Loyalty! - This dude is funny as hell, How you gonna talk "LOTALTY" when you were jumping around on the same stage with Curtis and being on Rap City with the whole G-Unit!...

T.I. Graces The Cover of Complex Magazine

T.I. Graces the cover of Complex...Talks about his experience making the movie American Gangster and his thoughts about the Real Frank Lucas..

On The Real Frank Lucas:

Given the strong “stop snitching” credo within hip-hop, what did you think of his cooperating with authorities to shorten his 70-year prison term? His situation was unique because he didn’t tell on no drug dealers or other criminals. He got his standards shortened by telling on crooked cops.

On how the streets have changed:

Is there a character in American Gangster you would parallel to your days in the trap? I can’t even compare myself back in that day simply because it was a whole other day and age. When I was doin’ it, it was chaos. Real talk, it was easier then, too. Not taking nothing away from them ’cause they started it, but the police wasn’t hip to everything. By the time I started hustling, the police had cameras, the Internet, and forensics. [Back then] you could kill a nigga at six o’clock in the morning on his doorstep and long as nobody seen you, you good. Now you got cameras on street lights. I feel like if I was a hustler back then, I’d have a way better shot at it. People actually respected the game. Whereas when I was a hustler, a nigga would do anything for a dollar. Period
