Jim Jones discusses Jay-Z, Cam’Ron
Jim Jones recently shared his thoughts on Jay-Z and Cam’Ron in the latest issue of Complex.
On Jay-Z:
I’ve sold more records than most of the major artists this year. Jay-Z just barely made platinum by the skin of his teeth on that American Gangster, and if you ain’t go platinum you’re definitely not making any money. I don’t know why you’re renegotiating, you haven’t even recouped…..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.
Complex: Did he (Cam) mention anything to you about going on stage with 50?
Jim Jones: Jones: He can’t tell me what I can do. I’m a grown man, I’m a boss of this shit, what I do for my own career and what I do for publicity is what I do. I always have my own edge, and there’s a method to my madness. It works for me and it works for us at the end of the day. I got a song with Game right now, so nobody can tell me what the fuck to do, and when to do it. I do what the fuck I want to do if it makes sense for me, and where I’m goin’. As long as it’s not going to taint the brand, you can’t tell me shit.
