Jim Jones - Wasted Talent (Discussion Thread)

[RebelX]

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome East Harlem's own Jim Jones to the Upper West Side to talk Dipset Christmas, why he didn't do a solo deal at Roc-A-Fella, random remixes, sneaker shopping, being in the belt business with A$AP Ferg, Funk Flex's car shows, working with Rsonist of The Heatmakerz, being the fashionable kid in high school, bringing 100 people with him to The Tunnel, the effect he had on the music industry by engineering his own sessions, blowing budgets at the club, his love-hate relationship with his song Ballin', what he thought when 50 Cent called Koch Records a "graveyard," not signing J. Cole, his own Broadway show, how Mona Scott stole his reality TV show, being the NYC tour guides for visiting artists, and much, much more! This episode is presented by Martell, the legendary maker of the world's finest cognacs, including Martell Blue Swift and VS Single Distillery.

Very good assessment though I only liked Trav on 1 song and I thought Dirk was nice on the hook

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

And the first time they screaming out the Dips on Summer Jam

When I told Nas, aww man, you nikkas understand

 

[Still FloW]

Very good assessment though I only liked Trav on 1 song and I thought Dirk was nice on the hook

really ? i loved all his hooks except for Chicken n Fried Rice, that was iffy.. Pray and Catch on Yet were beyond flames. shed tears man

 

[TrifeGod]

Stacks would have annihilated Epitome..fukk man

 

[AMcV'88]

some good words from the brother Al-Doe


and i know Jim happy as hell Rae fukkin with the album. he been talking about the Purple Tape.

 

[Preach Jackson]

i haven’t listen to jim since hustler’s pome definitely wasn’t rocking with anything vamp life I’ll peep this tho


damn wish max was home

 

[iHiphop86]

What’s first week numbers looking like?

Must be higher than his recent first week #s

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Jim got one.

 

[feelosofer]

Jim Jones isn't the best rapper of all time by any means but I swear he hustles hard as fukk and brings his all on every track. He's almost like the NY version of Devin the dude where he just carved such a niche for himself no one can fill it. This might be his best work.

 

[chiefdogg]

yea this is solid, went on a few hour + road trips with in the last few days and it’s was in heavy rotation.

Was in the gym banging this yesterday I fukks with it.
