[2stepz_ahead]

nwa changed the game....they made gangsta rap bigger than it already was.

then everybody became a gangsta overnight.

dipset aint do shit but say "we ballin"

 

[Melqart]

he should rephrase the style part. when it comes to that, it was camron who redefined that, not dipset as a whole imo.

Jim Jones also compares Dipset to N.W.A.

During a recent interview with XXL, Jim Jones addressed tensions between Dipset and G-Unit.

"Ain’t no tensions," Jones says. "Nah, it’s a good time to jump back in the game. They got a lot of momentum. There are a lot of things that occurred in these past few weeks that kinda gave them a comeback. Shout out to the G-Unit."

Another Rap group the emcee addresses in the interview is A$AP Mob, a group he says is unlike Dipset.

"They weren’t from the street," Jim Jones says. "They’re a good group of kids and they’re artistic, but they’re not from the street and their style is way different than what we do. It’s a little bit far out there for me. We got bonafide swag and the definition of get fly, ya dig? I’m not trying to disrespect them—A$AP Mob is doing it, they got their numbers and they’re doing what they like to do—but they’re nothing like the Diplomats. They didn’t come up hanging and banging and hustling and really touching the pavement, ya dig? It’s a big difference. We don’t wear kilts and we don’t wear tight sweatpants and funny sneakers. That’s not our style. Price point and high fashion don’t really make it cool. I’ll still go in Wal-Mart and come out and niggas will still think it’s Versace."

Beyond G-Unit and A$AP Mob, Jim Jones also addressed Dipset's influence, referencing N.W.A.

"Maybe the most influential—besides N.W.A—when it comes to everything," he says. "When it comes to style, we’re probably the most influential. I don’t recall no other group giving it to the world the way we was giving it to them. If you can recall or if you know some people, let me know. It’s good. I take it as a compliment. A lot of people was watching."

But your flagship artist and CEO was out here lookin like carnival cotton candy tho? Aight.

[Cliff Da Mont]

High like space .45 on waist.

On my way to church Jim needa come back, before he fell into the "I'm a don big time dealer 400 bricks a day".

Plus his infatuation with rich porter is borderline gay

 

[Busta Carmichael]

I think he forgot about swag splash and juelz tight ass jeans. Even tru life did a song against Jones for it

Sounds like hate. Lol @ this nigga talkin bout the streets when he's been caught on cam gettin ran out the ruckers.

 

[bbkg79]

If you were him what would you have done?

Sounds like hate. Lol @ this nigga talkin bout the streets when he's been caught on cam gettin ran out the ruckers.

 

[Noble Al Lee]

He wouldve stood there and fought them off single handidly while shielding camron from any possible damage. You know, the usual random tough guy shit.

That aside, it does kind of sound like hate but hes not completely wrong. He may have ushered in the fitted clothing movement but lets not act like their style circa 2004 was anything like the dress, blouse & kilt style asap rocky fucks with. I fuck with the dips & the mob so meh, let harlem hash this out

 

[rapmusic]

They was also on that rockstar bullshit too.. Good thing that didn't last long.

 

[_Goldie_]

If you were him what would you have done?

Sounds like hate. Lol @ this nigga talkin bout the streets when he's been caught on cam gettin ran out the ruckers.

If i was "blood" and talked about gunplay and how I ran harlem ere record, I wouldve pulled out and start dumpin on niggas.
