Jim Jones Skeptical About Jada Pinkett Smith Selling Crack As A Teen: “We Need To Go See If They Got Some Fiends That Can Verify”

October 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

More revelations about Jada Pinkett Smith’s discoveries of hard drugs and psychedelics continue to be shared with the world. The actress and “wife” of Will Smith recently put out her controversial memoir, Worthy, back on October 4. As of now, it is receiving plenty of backlash and comments from everyone. Names like Chris Rock, who was involved with the viral Academy Awards slap, have made plenty of remarks around it. Others include Will, of course, 50 Cent, Stephen A. Smith, and plenty more.

One more we can add to the list is Dipset rap legend, Jim Jones. In a recent AllHipHop piece, Jim is calling out Jada for her drug-dealing past as a teenager. In her memoir, she details that selling crack and other hard substances was the way to make money in Baltimore. “I decided to sell drugs.” Smith continues, “Growing up, the drug dealers were the ones that had affluence. That’s what we readily saw as success.” Jim is wanting to hear from the supposed fiends that Jada was selling to back in the day.

Jim Jones Wants Answers About Jada Pinkett Smith’s Past

In the video above, Jim appears to be flabbergasted at the idea that she was moving like that as a kid. The rapper now wants to hear from Smith’s customers. “If you sold crack in the nineties, nine times out of ten, there’s still some crackheads in the neighborhood that can vouch that you were selling that butter.” He continues, “We need to go check and see if they got some fiends that can verify, validify that she was selling that she had that butter on the block for sale.” While Jim and others are skeptical about this, Jada has heavily references to drugs in her book, so maybe she is being truthful?

What are your initial thoughts on Jim Jones calling out Jada Pinkett Smith and her selling crack during her childhood? Are you on Jones’ side, or do you trust that Jada Pinkett Smith is telling the truth? If Jada and Will Smith did not have such a rocky relationship, would her memoir be this controversial? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Meek Mill & Rick Ross’ Music Video Shoot For “Shaq & Kobe” Lights Up Harlem, Jim Jones Joins

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross and Meek Mill’s new single “Shaq & Kobe” is a triumphant and fitting return to the studio for the frequent collaborators, and they’re looking to fully capitalize on it. Moreover, the duo were recently spotted in Harlem for the song’s music video, which apparently brought out the whole neighborhood. Not only that, but the two rappers actually got help from a hip-hop hometown hero in the area: none other than Jim Jones of Dipset. On Wednesday (September 28), it was clear that everyone in attendance had a lot of fun. Following social media coverage of it, Capo took to Instagram with a clip of his own.

“Fly s**t only,” Jim Jones remarked of Rick Ross and Meek Mill’s upcoming visuals in the video. “Rich n***a s**t you heard? And Ross in the middle of Harlem. He on that no-fear block. 12th Street. Outside.” In addition, there’s a pretty funny clip roaming around the Internet of Rozay dancing with a woman on set. The crowd loved the energy, from what the snippet indicates, and the Harlem MC continued his praises in his post’s caption.

“@richforever [Rick Ross] th biggest boss and @meekmill aka Kuz leader of th litt world champions,” Jim Jones wrote. “Pulled up to th block #nofearBlock12th in harlem but they for got they #HaterBlockas had to get they eye sight right wit some fresh pairs of them #DarkBoys #DarkVamps @vintageframes I love my hood yal showed out last night #Harlem.” Of course, longtime fans of these artists know that this team-up was in the cards for a long time. Now that studio session teases and more mysterious hints came to fruition, fans can expect a lot more from these lyricists.

Jim Jones Addresses Dipset Reunion Album & What It Would Take To Happen

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As one of the biggest and best crews to come out of New York in the 2000s, Dipset took the hip-hop game by storm. Recently, one of its members Jim Jones sat down with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN on Drink Champs and addressed whether the group would ever come back together for a reunion album. Moreover, their last official release as a group was the 2018 album Diplomatic Ties, which was their first in 14 years. When considering whether he, Cam’ron, and Juelz Santana would hop on wax together again for a full-length, Capo brought the financials into play. However, he made it clear that it wasn’t all about the money.

“I ain’t gonna lie, if it was a perfect world and I could have things my way…” Jim Jones remarked. “For me this is just how I see it. Partnering up with the right person, whether it be a label or person who has an invested interest to see us win. And once we have a sound blueprint of that, and not to say it’s about the money. But money makes this s**t move when it comes to doing music.

Jim Jones Theorizes Potential Dipset Reunion Album

“There’s a certain aesthetic that we wanna see and a type of sound the people wanna hear,” Jim Jones continued. “We ain’t trying to cheat the people with things like that. I think a lot of that has been going on in the past years of us doing this Diplomat installments because we’re so used to this whole independent layout. But I think that we put so much work in things like that that I think the people deserve a real Diplomat.”

Meanwhile, this would be a new chapter in a history that resulted in tensions between the Roc-A-Fella-signed group and the label. However, there’s also plenty to look back on and reevaluate when it comes to avoiding those past mistakes. Jones himself recently reflected on how the falling out between the Roc’s heads, Jay-Z and Dame Dash, could’ve been avoided. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jim Jones and Dipset.

Pusha T’s Response Diss Track To Jim Jones Surfaces, But It’s A.I.-Generated

July 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Pusha T and Jim Jones beef is shaping up to be one of the most high-profile and interesting of the year so far. Moreover, that’s because there isn’t really a beef at all, and is instead more of a battle of skill, relevance, and artistry that’s based purely on wax. Still, a lot of that potential hasn’t yet seen the light of day, as the Clipse member still hasn’t responded on wax to Jones’ diss track. Apparently, fans got a little too desperate for it, and one tech whiz in particular took matters into their own hands. Furthermore, an A.I.-generated response track to the Dipset MC surfaced online, and a lot of fans didn’t realize it was fake.

Even though this isn’t Pusha T’s actual response, there are still some fiery digs at Jim Jones throughout. “This s**t is an easy kill, n***as 40 plus twisting they fingers still,” the fake Push raps. “Duck the RICO, we know that n***a squealed, FBI agent with a damn record deal. Red flag waving, banging, boy chill.” Sure, the voice on this record sounds pretty similar, but it’s also relatively easy to distinguish when compared to some other A.I. models of artists.

A.I.-Generated Response To Jim Jones From “Pusha T”

A post shared by ThrillyThrowbacks (@thrillythrowbacks)

“Jimmy hiding something he got his record sealed, 6ix9ine ain’t the only one working the field,” the Pusha T-impersonating model continues. “We heard them phone taps, you Nicki Barnes, for real, stick to reality TV before I become your new damn Mandeecees. You got drip but your cornrows stay peezy, you hated on French and did Max B greasy.” What’s more is that this fake diss track even mentions Jim Jones as the rapper after Drake that Push will put in a grave.

For those unaware, this all started when Jones responded to Billboard‘s top 50 rappers list and disagreed with Push being on there. After he threw some subliminal disses on an unreleased Clipse song previewed at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton fashion show, the New York rapper responded with a full diss. Hopefully this fake response didn’t divert the Virginia native from his path in this beef, regardless of which path he chose. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Pusha T and Jim Jones.

Jim Jones Credits Tupac For Inspiring Dipset With Their Use Of Beef As Marketing

June 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Jim Jones sat down for a Roc Nation roundtable interview on Wednesday (June 28) and revealed how the legendary Tupac Shakur inspired Dipset. Moreover, Capo stated that the West Coast icon was instrumental in synthesizing rap beef as an effective promotional strategy for MCs. Still, it’s an unfortunate thing to commend, as rap beef is supposedly why Tupac met the early fate he did. Regardless, when the Diplomats were blowing up on the East Coast and beyond, they took cues from his biggest points of success. Jones is by no means the first to remark this, but it just goes to show how influential Tupac’s legacy is, for better or worse.

“The beef inside of hip-hop is not a mixtape thing,” Jim Jones remarked. “It’s a hip-hop thing. It’s a lot of n***as that got a lot of ego, puttin’ them in the same room, and s**t is bound to happen. But the mixtapes heightened a lot of situations, because now, it could be totally unfiltered. At that time in hip-hop, we was watching Tupac and all of them, and watching how successful they was gettin’ goin’ cr*zy on everybody. It was a whole era right there where this was a marketing tool that was working for major labels and artists at the time that had the upper hand.”

Jim Jones’ Remarks On Mixtapes & Beef

Of course, this rings especially true these days because the New York rapper started some beef of his own. For those unaware, he just launched a diss track against Pusha T, who had some subliminal bars for Jim Jones on an unreleased Clipse track previewed at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week. The whole beef started when Jones dismissed Push’s placement on Billboard‘s list of the 50 best rappers of all time. We’re still in the early stages of that beef, as the Virginia native has yet to make an official diss record.

Meanwhile, for as many subliminals and sneaks disses Push could throw, it’s impossible to determine a “winner” until we have two released tracks to compare. Not only that, but Jones also called it more of a rap battle of skill than it was actual beef. Either way, there’s more conversation around him than there’s been in a while, so clearly it worked.

Jim Jones Responds To Pusha T, Clipse With “Summer Collection”

June 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Everything is funny, I guess.

Jim Jones Hit The Streets Of Harlem To Deliver A Diss Track In Response To Pusha T’s Shots At Him

June 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Latto told her haters to put it on the floor. But when it comes to the sizzling beef between Jim Jones and Pusha T, they’d instead put it on a beat. In response to the latest round of shoots, Jim Jones hit the streets of his hometown, Harlem, New York, to deliver yet another diss track to Pusha T’s shots at him.

What started over a simple matter of opinion, when Jones stated that he didn’t feel that Pusha T wasn’t one of the 50 greatest rappers of all time, has turned into a musical feud that won’t die out. On Jim Jones’ new diss, “Summer Collection,” he aimed not only at Pusha T but also his brother No Malice.

In one of the track’s opening punches, Jones rapped, “Y’all n****s don’t know what to do in a raid / Kanye gave y’all whips, but that’s what they do to the slaves,” a cleverly worded double entendre referencing both the brutality of chattel slavery as well as Pusha T’s business dealings with Ye and his record label G.O.O.D. Music.

Jones is letting it be known that he wasn’t a fan of the jabs Pusha T threw during the Louis Vuitton fashion show by poking fun at Pusha’s style. “You be dressing kinda weird man you really need a stylist/Plus we all know what you identify with / Plus you kinda, sorta dress, n***a, you been a fly b*tch/And then he said I was trying to chase a feature / N***a’s a gorilla cause he got some apes in his features/All my gorillas got stones, I’ll have these apes come and meet you,” rapped Jones.

Before the song ends, Jones is sure to take a dig at Pusha T’s brother and Clipse member, spitting, “Plus, you got your brother rappin’ / What you tryna bring the Clipse back? / Speaking of your brother, what happened to that boy? / It looks like they’ve been selling crack to the boy.” Jones must’ve figured that if Pusha T can mention Drake’s young son in his 2018 diss “The Story of Adidon,” then his adult brother and fellow rapper is up for decision.

Watch the full video directed by From The Block above.

Jim Jones Responds To Pusha T Diss On New Song “Summer Collection”

June 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The beef between Pusha T and Jim Jones just kicked into full gear with its first official diss track. Sure, there was Push’s original shots, but those were more like obvious subliminals given the context than anything else. Now, the Dipset member released “Summer Collection” in response for a “From The Block Performance.” In it, he uses the exact same beat that the Virginia native used in his teased disses towards the New York MC on an unreleased Clipse collab with No Malice. Not only that, but he responds to a few of the points that Pusha made on those bars, and comes through with some more aggressive material.

For example, there’s him urging Pusha T to not doubt his VVS diamonds, and him not caring about any of the former G.O.O.D. Music president’s luxury purchases or flamboyant style. Also, he trashed his artistry is catalog, referencing his album My Name Is My Name but saying “we ain’t screaming that.” Another example of that was Jim Jones stating that Push is only a “gorilla” because of all the “apes” that he features on his albums. He didn’t really clarify whether he depends on his features or picks small names, but either way works, right?

Jim Jones’ Diss Track Towards Pusha T

However, perhaps the nail in the coffin out of all of his bars were instead directed at his brother No Malice. Furthermore, Jones said that he’s not looking too good right now, and that he shouldn’t bother with a Clipse reunion. Considering how deep Pusha T went at Drake after the latter mentioned the former’s fiancée, this can’t spell out good news for the 46-year-old. Regardless, let us know what you think about this diss (which you can find on YouTube) and how it compares to Push’s in the comments. Read some standout bars below and stick around on HNHH for more on Jim Jones and Pusha T.

Quotable Lyrics
The only beef you know, n***a, is Arby’s or the Big Mac
We don’t drive through, we drive by in the car with the big MAC
The last s**t you dropped, that s**t was garbage, take that s**t back
Plus you got your brother rappin’, what you tryna bring the Clipse back?
Talk about your brother, what happened to that boy?
He’s looking like they’ve been selling crack to that boy
