Jay-Z Says Jim Jones Is No Competition and That He’s Game’s Idol

…Speaking of Jim Jones, he and cats like The Game stay throwing shots at you, referring to you as old and washed-up. But you’ve always thrived off that type of competition. So, currently in the most comfortable position of your career, how competitive are you?

Not really that competitive, because the competition isn’t based on real competition. I mean, Game, I’m his fuckin idol. If you ask him and he’s being truthfully honest with you…it’s just based off his insecurities and, for the most part, pretension. That type of competition doesn’t do anything for me. It’s almost like someone trying to set you up, and everyone knows they’re to set you up, and everybody. It’s just dumb. It’s not in the spirit of competition, because he’s not competition for me. He’s not. Not then, not ever—he’d have to improve considerably. Competition for me competition is Nas, Eminem. Like Jim Jones? That’s ridiculous to me. So how do I respond to that? I can’t win. If I win, then they’ll be like, “See. Now chill. You’re a fuckin’ bully.” And if manages to throw a haymaker from the West Coast, then it’s like “Oooooh.” It’s not even fun. Like, before I did it, because I would diss anybody. Now who has time to do this shit everyday? But before, when I was running after the little fat nigga from Ma$e’s camp, I was doing anybody. Anybody said anything. If I thought you said something. When I was running in the streets, I wanted all that type of activity. Nobody wanted nothing. Now everybody’s a tough guy.

Agree 100 percent, anybody ever notice the only time Jim Jones is relevant is when he’s talking about Jay-Z? Just look at all any future headline or listen to any upcoming track, I bullshit you not. The full Interview will be in this month’s XXL magazine.

      JIM JONES IS A HIP HOP CLOWN, BUT THE GAME IS A THREAT I THINK CAUSE HE A BEAST ON THE MIC AND DISSING. IF YOU WANT TO BECOME THE MASTER(GAME,)YOU MUST BEAT THE MASTER(JAY-Z).

      Jim Jones is not even relevant and never was. Business-wise, I can respect his hustle but he needs to leave the mic to the pros. He used up his 15 minutes the moment he opened his mouth up about Jay. It got him a little attention but eventually, it came back to bite him in the ass. As far as Game..he’s still living off of the high from battling 50. I’ll give it to him, he went in on all them niggaz singlehandedly and came out on top. Now, he needs that exposure again because touring in Europe just isn’t enough so the next best thing would be to go in on Jay. Well, like Jay says, who has time to go back and forth everyday? I mean, He is a multimillionaire that has a job and status to maintain after all, right? Neither Jimmy or Game can say the same.
