Jim Jones explains his "Swagger Like Us" response

While Jim Jones was literally the original Mr. Me Too (see: Cam’ron’s “Horse & Carriage) he’s insisting that “all these other rappers jack swagger from us” and is enlisting Juelz Santana and, curiously, Lil’ Wayne to record a response to T.I. & Jay-Z’s “S.L.U. (Swagger Like Us).” Wayne was featured on the original version and will presumably be on the all-star remix (with Nas, Young Jeezy and Andre 3000) but is never one to turn down a check. Jones’s statements on the matter seem to indicate an attempt to instigate an actual beef, which some (I) would write off as a desperate plea for attention. Jones claims he was deliberately left off of the historical original version (though admits himself that saying so maybe insane) and specifically criticizes Jay-Z for not matching his belt to his scarf. Yes, America, this is what it has come to. [Complex]

Jim Jones has gotten a lot bigger over the years, but he's still not one of the superstars of hip-hop.

T.I., Wayne, Jay-Z, Nas, Jeezy etc. all go platinum...

Jimmy has always wanted to be Jay-Z, it's far past pathetic at this point. I think he's still sore that Cam and Juelz got to release albums on Def Jam while he can only drop with Koch. It's gotta hurt when you have a song as big as "We Fly High" and you can't even get close to going Gold.

What a f@#$in 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 s@#t U can't even write off when tax time comes....LMAO!! What a LAME! Men lie, women lie, numbers don't...BAAAALLIN!!!

How many rappers mentioned the word "swagger" before Will Smith's "lost and found" cd?

What's hilarious is that it's this type of ridiculous shiz that makes me like Jim! These crazy stunts are nothing if not ballsy. And I like that. That's why I checked out HARLEM'S AMERICAN GANGSTER, a souped up mixtape on "record label graveyard" Koch that's a million times better than the major label Byrdgang record Jimmy dropped this year. He needs to keep it crazy like this, because at least that shows personality-- the quality that makes folks like Hova, Weezy, TI, Kanye, etc as big as they are.

how does jim comes from calling Kanye gay cuz of his wardrobe then turns around and tries to say Jay-z didn't match his belt with his scarf!? that's some queer eye for the straight guy type stuff right there.
