Jim Jones Explains His ‘Swagger Like Us’ Response

jones-lead-swag.jpg
Everyone seems to have an opinion on “Swagger Like Us,” T.I.’s recent all-star collabo with Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye West. Folks like Jermaine Dupri and Diddy have even recorded their own verses over the song in an attempt to assert their own “swag” status.

Now Jim Jones is taking it one step further. Last week, we were building with the Capo in his studio for some future shit (stay tuned) when he spilled the beans about his own response to the song, a rumor that Miss Info reported on yesterday. He’s currently recording a new joint named “Jackin’ Swagger From Us,” featuring additional verses from Juelz and Lil Wayne, along with a re-recorded hook from M.I.A. and a new beat by Chink Santana. Read on to preview an exclusive snippet of the track and see what Jones had to say about the four artists on the first “Swagger”…

Jim Jones f/ Lil Wayne, Juelz & M.I.A. “Jackin’ Swagger From Us”
(Snippet of Lil’ Wayne’s verse)

from Pray For Reign

Complex: You and Juelz are all about that swag-splashing. How do you feel about not being included on “Swagger Like Us”?

Jim Jones: I think it was deliberate. I really do think it was deliberate; maybe in my sick twisted mind I’m a little crazy. People know who set the precedent as far as fashion in this industry and people know who damn near changed the world as far as fashion. You look at people, they went from the urban world of clothing, back when Rocawear and Sean John was cool. And then in the past 5 years I stepped in and gave them a taste of what rock and roll looks like from my side. I guess people would say from an urban side, and it seemed to catch on like wildfire, to the point that people was going to stores and asking for that Jim Jones look. Me and Juelz had Chink do our own beat, I have Weezy’s verse in my inbox right now and we kept the hook of that song because it was a sample. So we’re going to put that as a bonus track on the album, and put it to the streets. “No one on the corner got swag like you we don’t Rocawear that’s for fags like you.” [Laughs.]

Complex: Ahhh…

Jim Jones: And look at the 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? But I didn’t take the song as a shot, because I don’t feel like none [besides Weezy] of them possess any swag.

Complex: What about T.I?

Jim Jones: 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? Niggas with money and fame always going to look like they doing something ’cause they got the camera in front of them. But the cool dudes always stick out no matter where they at.

  7. This coming from a dude who’s every album goes tripple plastic? Who’s claim to fame is screamin “BALLINN”? Get real pimp. Look at TI’s hit record and look at yours! How many tracks do you have that could make it to a greatest hits cd? I’ll tell u this much… that would be the shortest cd I’ve ever heard. I wonder how much ass kissing your boy Juelz had to do to get weezy on the track for you. Your just another Shawty Lo except he’s actually on the radio.

Dude is just pissy cuz his records aint sellin and he needs some publicity. He wants Jay to put his name in a soung so he can sell more records. Look at the pic above. is that dude wearing a hijab. Dats gay!

  19. Is this dude serious
    Somebody get me the drugs this guys doing….LOL
    They gotta be good!!!!!!!!!
    Cuz he’s in cloud Mars right now…
    If this dude claims they jackin him
    Then he’s jackin the track….
    Fuck if you changed the beat…..
    U jackin the whole idea……….

    My only question is….What was Cam thinking when he brought Jenny in the game???
    Cuz this dude cant rap
    And ballin been dead…..

    I honestly think he’s jackin 50’s style right now….
    This is 50 actions right before an album = Diss Somebody for attention or promotional use.
    Jenny dissing whoever cuz he got an album coming out…..
    I think 50 should get hit off with a cut for lending Jenny his promotional swagger…LMFAO

    Comment by BalloonDaGoon — October 3, 2008 #

  21. Jenny is trippin none of these nigga got swagg. This nigga is silly for even sayin some shit like that it is quite obviious that he is a hater. Fashion all the way down all of these nigga are harbingers in the game. And ballin; this kid is just mad like fifty said kosh is for artist whose record sales are in the graveyard. Any nigga who disagree check forbes top 25 rappers and all four of them are there; Jenny on the other hand isn’t in the top 50. It sounds like the fundementals of Jennys lyrics aren’t strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hatin is the Bridge to no where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. jim jones needs to get over himself, tip could loan him some swag! for the record I’ve never heard anyone say the want a jim jones outfit!

    Comment by jah jah bean — October 3, 2008 #

  25. Jay Z need to sit his old camel face down, Kanye’s pants are too tight, TI ain’t even got the dukes up to fend off Shorty Lo. Lil Wayne has swagger and Jim Jones and the Byrdgang got all the swagger right now. Jimmy Jones is doing his thing and Juelz Santana and Chink got them beats. Jim got that rock n roll, party like a rockstar, skull gang vibe going. All bow down to the dipset capo, new yorks rider man, one eye willy or the goons gonna get chu!

    Comment by emery simms — October 3, 2008 #

  26. Haaaaaaaaaater! Jimmy I’m srry boo but u are tha biggest hater in rap. U even admitted ur a hater. See wht people dnt understand is theres a difference from being a trendsetter and having swag. A trendsetter is someone who has a style tht is copied by many others. Which I admit Jimmy is. But “Swagga” is not jst abt style but also abt personality, the way you walk, tlk, move, tha way u r with others list goes on. Please understand people. And as far as Jim Jones wana be I’m always in tha hood ass,”NIGGA PLEASE”! I mean come on, if u setting trends arnd here, u should be HONORED tht someone would wnt to copy your style not AGGY!SMDH

  34. Normally i cant fuck wit what Jim says but imma have to agree with him 200% in this interview. T.I. is one of the best rappers in the game and Jay is the best to do it but to me niether one of them niggas swag is crazy! I never was into the rock swag but for what it was Jim and Juelz was the first niggas to do it! But Jim was dead wrong on Kanye not havin swag!

  40. I do believe a blogger said it best by calling Jim Jones “dirt angel”.He’s so twisted…got all these little boys wearing these tight ass cheap ass jeans thinkin they’re cool but they look stupid as hell. Seems like others are on his mind tough…but then again I guess if I was trying push sells this time and not have all the hood niggas pass around my bootleg, I’d create some buzz too. No… If I was jim I would. And as a chick who would NEVER touch carpet head jim jones for fear of flea infestation…people probably wanna fuck Rick Ross pot bellied ass too…yuck I say…Teach from ATL

    I figga’d it strange when I saw T.I. was on the Ballin’ Remix in the 1st place. Thatz called “Phoney Kickin’ It” where I’m from!

    Well, I’m beamin’ up outa this HATE ZONE!

    Comment by MrJones&ME — October 5, 2008 #

  62. oh lawwwwd…

    everyone pretty much said it but Jim needs to go take a bath…drain the water (cuz its gonna be funky!!!!) and take another one…repeat about 12 times and that might take the dirt and other ish off him LOL

    T.I. doesn’t have to dress anyway to have swag…hes just got it. Theres somethin about Clifford (LOL) that gets peoples attention!

    as far as Jay…Jims still mad at him for whateva and hes bein a big pu*sy about it!!!! I think Jay always had Swag, especially back when Reasonable Doubt came out!!!!!!!

    STOP TALKIN S*IT JIM!

    Comment by noswaghavinmofo!! — October 5, 2008 #

  63. Jimmy….Take a bath U sound like a women..didnt Jay say “men shouldnt be jealous thats a female trait” If that is true Jimmy U just may have a case of BITCHASSNESS…being musty, bitchy and lame is not swag is more like dirty FAG!!! and by the way that whole rock star image U brought to hip hop There was a guy by the name of Pharrell and Kanye that was already doing that DUMMY!!! He keeps Jay name in his mouth like a DICK… Jimmy may have a crush on Jay…hes been Jockin Jay Z for a WHILE

    Comment by Im Just saying — October 6, 2008 #

  64. 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!!!

    go over to europe && see how they dressin..they in some stuff u couldnt even imagine wearin but prolly would becuz erbody wanna be like the next person..look around there’s a billion and one fashion stores everywhere they were’nt jus made for one person dumbasz so of course there will be plenty other ppl wearin the same thing u have on so really wat is your logical reasoning for being upset..somebody shulda dropped knowledge on ya asz before yu came out with this statement are u tht mad u werent on the song lol..get over go make another song repeatin the same word over and over again && then maybe ya fame will come back..i dnt have a problem with yu jim but this statement u made was ignorant..and not well thought out..now u say tht ti jay-z & kanye dnt have swagger but i kno i seen yo ass in a tight as sweater b4 who did tht?? fonsworth bentley and k.west..&& or u upset tht jay-z is wearin armani and havin his shit customized and then gettin paid to do tht shit..lol t.i. i basicaly thinks he does wtf he wants & by the way he clownin shawty lo in tht “whad up whats happenin” video..clearly so all i got say is “get ya life together” “remember niggaz shouldnt be jealous thtz a female trait”

  67. Jim Jones just suck at life!! da nigga stay lookin ugly and dirty wit da fuzzy braids and dirty lookin pants, man get outta here. why would they have you on that track, you are nobody in the game!! nobody is studyin you, that wouldn’t even match. That would be a allstar team with, Jordan, Magic, Kareem, Dr. J, and ole Matten Cleaves(a nobody in the game, equivalent to Jim Jones). Listen to Tip’s verse, Jim could never spit anything that hot. and to me, swagger is mainly how you carry yourself, along with how you dress, and Jones just look dirty to me, I’d rather dress like TIP or Jay

  69. WTF! Jim Sayin’ Keep It Pimpin’ Tip, no matter hat they Say, King Of The South West side foreva

  70. I have to agree a little with Jim on this one. I haven’t heard one person say they want to dress or carry themselves like TI. He has no style. And the style that he does have is from a stylist from videos or photo shoots. Jim dresses & carries himself the same way all the time. Granted, everyone in the industry has to have some sort of swag. But hey, I guess it also depends where you’re from. Hell, Lil Wayne is even riding with Dipset & he’s the biggest star out now.

    i can understand the scarves thats something ecclectic something debonari dudes in the twenties used to do with they suits but come on now really?

  76. Just the fact that he looks as if he doesn’t shower, should disqualify him from being considered as someone with swag. Swag is suppose to be a good thing, and not looking clean is not good. AND, the only reason he dress like that anyway, is because he can’t afford to go shopping for the type of clothes Jay and TI do!! These guys are real bosses who attend real business meetings, Jim Jones is an idiot!!!!!

  78. Jimmy needs a role model or a hug or something… He needs to carry on with his own…. leave the big dogs alone… don’t bite the hand that feeds you!!! You wouldn’t be in the game if it weren’t for Jay, he’s keeping you here, remember that. And for the issue of swag… Jim if that’s what you call it… I guess. You’re whole movement is like watching wrestling…. s@#$ is fake & entertaining. I give you this, your costumes are worn by some…. but someone with their swag on 100, doesn’t hate…. they keep it movin to they’re beat. So… keep it moving… & stop the hate… get your swag up!!!

  86. yer boy looks like her got drapes hangin from his head wtf is up wit that. and why the fucks lil wayne on this record. they shouldnt have even let him on the original version.

    Comment by b breez — November 9, 2008 #

  87. Ok wtf I need some explanations people… First: Jim Jones goes at T.I., who helped him in the remix of We Fly High to boost sales of his record (who didin’t even went gold worldwide)… without his collaboration Jim Jones wouldn’t have sold 100,000 copies shit… and Secondo: why the fuck Lil’ Wayne collaborate on a track that aims his other collaboration, he agrees that Jim Jones do this? Lil’ Wayne is a friend of Kanye West and T.I., and a fan of Jay-Z… why the fuck did he accepted this offer…? Jim Jones is so stupid lol, get a life stupid dumbass…

    Comment by Mathieu — November 25, 2008 #

  88. Ok, I’ll be 100% honest here. Jim Jones does have style. a style more distinct than T.I.. but of all of the people being talked about in this interview, he is by far the worse rapper. So he’s got swag but he can’t rap.
