“No one on the corner got swag like you we don’t Rocawear that’s for fags like you.”
Jim Jone sits down with Complex magazine to speak about the remake of “Swagger Like Us” that he’s doing with Wayne, Juelz and Chink Santana. He also speaks on the original and what he perceives as a lack of swag on the part of some of the MC’s who spit on it. Hit the jump for some gems.
Speaks on Jay-Z’s recent Vibe cover
Tell me who Jay-Z looks like in there? Did you see the picture of him? With the Louis Vuitton scarf and all that. Who did that resemble? You can say it. But he did it wrong; he had a Gucci belt with a Louis Vuitton scarf. Who does that? You smell me? That’s like wearing one Nike and one Puma; how you going to get away with that?
On T.I.’s “swag”
I don’t feel like he possesses any swag. Not like that. It’s fabricated. They’re watching other people, then they try and do it. You know people that dress like T.I.? You know people that go out and say let me get a T.I. outfit or do you know people who say “yo, you’re looking like Jim Jones?” Which one? Lemme hear it! When the bitches want to fuck you and the niggas want be like you, who got the swag?
Damn Jimmy you need to go the blood bank and donate some of that hate you got in you blood homey, why are you still even talking about Jay dude is not even paying attention to you. Three years ago when Ballin was poppin it was cool back then but now you just sound like a hater, especially after you said were done with the whole thing.
First you did that corny move by putting out some mixtape/album titled Harlem American Gangster which went double wood by the way (as if that was going to do something to Jay’s classic), then you find every excuse to mention his name in any interview you can get and now you top it off with this hater move. I’m even going to begin to ask why your even talking about T.I., now you just seem like your pulling for straws. Anything to keep you relevant and your name in the headlines. Damn I thought 50 Cent was bad…….
Oh yeah check out Wayne’s verse on the Swagger Like Us remake (snippet)

10-5-2008
Jim Jones is right.If Jim Jones was in the studio with Usher and Rihanna making fuckin commercial ass music for the lil kids then his last joint mightve went plat.But Jones is a hood nigga.So the dumb nigga that wrote that Harlem’s American Gangsta went double wood might need to check his own blood for hater-aid!
10-5-2008
What a weasel ass fucka. Holding on to Jays shoe lace trying to get any left over spot light. Shhhhhh!!!
10-5-2008
Bobby you retarded big homie. Everything Jay does, this bitch jumps on it, makes a remake, and trys to diss it. He needs to make his own music. Ballin was his one good song, and that dumb fuck thinks he can stand with the guys actually sellin albums. maybe that dumb bitch missed how bad T.I just burnt shawty lo. I hope he burns this lil fuck too.
10-5-2008
but on a real jay z aint got swag n t.i aint got swag like jim jones. so for real for real jim jones got swag
10-6-2008
Jim Jones is a fucking joke, I remember dumb little niggas swearing on the whole Dip movement LMFAO what Dip movement? what were they changing? nothing, because Cam is now garbage, Jim Jones only had Ballin and can’t rap, Santana is ready to bounce on them niggas and J.R. is good, but the dude needs to get on the mainstream level.
Dipset should be called Dipshit because they could have all capitalized on theses young dumbass kids hanging on their every word, but they didn’t and now they ain’t being talked about and Jimmy has to find ways to diss niggas like Jay-Z who are on another level.
Childish and foolish to go against someone that’s on a global level.

10-6-2008
What a fuckin CLOWN!! Would somebody please school this lame on exactly what swag is!! It goes deeper than what you’re wearing. What you’re wearing simply constitutes style. Swag is your whole aestetic, i.e. the way you carry yourself, how U operate, the moves you make, the trends you set, as well as your style. Now if you want to regulate it to how you dress, then alright then homie…U set it off with tight jeans, skulls, and tight shirts. But if that’s your whole claim to fame then that’s pretty sad. Plus you ain’t even seeing no money off that so called swag. Jay and T.I. got their own clothing line…now that’s swag. U crying cuz nobody gave U props on shit U can’t even write off when tax time comes….LMAO!! What a LAME! Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t…BAAAALLIN!!!
10-6-2008

Jimmy needs to satdown….Let the brothers live…The only reason Jimmy mad at TI is b/c Jimmy put T.I. on the Ballin’ remix and T.I. did not return the favor. Instead he feels like he got dissed by T.I. by choosing Jay over him. I bet he thought T.I. had swagger when he put him on that remix, so please sit the f*ck down, Jimmy. I think Jimmy needs to find another role model besides 50 so he can stop hating and just live his skull head dirty no album sellinf life.
10-11-2008
jim shouldnt go to the charts coz hes a fucken g he should stay in the streets and keep doin his thing, better than becomeing popy and shit like that girl jay z and 50 cent thats not hood but thay still rep it. keep dissin to these clown ass niggers man m.o.b for life squad up! r.i.p stack bundles
10-11-2008
Just because you can put a couple of outfits together dosen’t mean you got SWAG! Get your lyrical content up to par Jimmy! Your raps are garbage compared to T.I. and Jay-Z. There is no thought to the shit you rap about. Get on their level first, and maybe then you can talk shit. Garbage ass n***a!
10-12-2008
Jim..Jim..Jim… what can I say? Swag is not what you have. You wear little boy shirts and I am pretty sure everyone is tired of seeing your underwear. Men (like T.I. and Jay Z) wear their pants on their ass, you are not in high school anymore.I can remember watching you perform and all I could focus on was whether you were going to catch your pants before they hit the floor. When T.I. and Jay Z perform people actually turn up the tv full blast and watch their SWAGGER. Jay Z and T.I. can wear what they want and still sell more records than you. They can do music with Rihanna and Destiny Child because they broke many molds. Who actually wants to hear a song with Jim Jones and Rihanna? Hell Rihanna do not want to do that! You are just mad because not any R&B singer want to waste a phone call to Jim Jones to make a song. Player..Son..Wanna be..you do not have swag, stop fooling yourself and come out with another hit song because you are dried up. Jay Z is not thinking about your ass and T.I. probably thinking about ending your career to get you out of the real niggas way, so please for your sake slow your roll lil daddy because you are not thinking straight! Instead of trying to hate on these hitmakers, try to get your crew together and make some hits and get yall shit tight because yall do not have eachothers back and your shit slowly falling apart. All you are doing is speeding the process of fading away!
10-13-2008
Jim Jones is whack J Z and T.I. doesn’t even have to waste time on dat bitchass fag. J and Tip had so many hits and jim jones? let me think about I don’t even know!!!! LOL!!!

10-16-2008
jim jones is a fake-first off he bite Jay-Z’s album, and now he’s tryna hate on T.I.-not even to mention as soon as he said it, he tried to clear it up- dude he’s scared cuz he knows TIP would end his career. Jay-Z doesnt even feel the need to come at him because wats the point? He’s just mad because ONE HIT SINGLE OUT OF THREE ALBUMS!

10-22-2008
To me, this nigga is Stan to Jay-Z. Can someone tell me how he benefited from bein’ a rapper? All of a sudden, he starts dressing like he went to the X-games and now he suppose to be a fashion expert? C’mon fam’? Whatz really goin’ on in your head? By now you should kno’ that you’re only gettin’ attention that is so negative because your career is dead. Even Cam’ saw that you never had the real potential to be a rapper and thatz why you was always sunned by the other artists. I ain’t gon’ lie I liked that, Summer In Miami joint you did wit’ Trey Songs, but that Ballin’ bullshit never got no play from me. Jus’ accept that you’re jus’ a Dipset jester and you can’t accomplish what Jay-Z has. He’s in a place where you’ll never be.
10-23-2008
Im not gunna argue with jim jones he does posses a lot of swagg dipset influenced a lot of peoples attire jim jones got people wearing tight clothes but jim jones doesn’t posses any lyrical ability which is the reason why he cant make the cut lil wayne barely made the cut wen it came to lyrical ablty but his flow and how hott he is in the game makes him able to hop on the track and lil wayne did well on it he went hard but jimmy sorry u dnt wanna start beef with T.I. he’s better then u and even the police know he got maxz n akz so u might wanna watch wat u say to him lolz…..(hopefully ppl cuaght on to that joke.) but sorry jimmy ur lyrics suck unless u hirin’ Nas or 50 u not winnin the beef so avoid it…..but u do need publisty but ur gonna get clownd
