During an appearance on Hot 97 this week, Dipset rapper Jim Jones was asked about the authenticity of a message he aimed directly at Roc-A-Fella-Records co-founder Dame Dash in an Instagram post made last month. In the Instagram post, Jones referred to Dame as both a āculture vultureā and a āthief.ā
While speaking with Hot 97, the Harlem, New York lyricist was questioned about rumors that his social media accounts were hacked the day his message about Dame was posted. In response to the question he joked about pulling āa Gucci Maneā and later revealed that he wishes he was more ādisciplinedā with some of his actions.
āYeah, I pulled a Gucci Mane,ā Jones said while laughing. āSomeone hacked into my social media. Oh manā¦Sometimes Iām emotional and sometimes I wish I was more disciplined. But truth is truth. So, you know, Iāll leave it at that. But we here. Iām not denying anything. Iām just saying sometimes I wish I was more disciplined in some of my actions. Iām a bit cooler than that. Heās a very smart dude. Sometimes heās too smart for his own good. That might be one of the problems, but I donāt know that many peopleāI donāt even know that many people as smart as he is. Heās a real smart dude. I canāt take that away from him. But that has nothing to do with business sense and the way I like my business to be ran. But thatās a whole ānother subject.ā
Jones also addressed the recent Ray Rice controversy and shared his belief that everyone, both men and women, should ākeep your hands to yourself.ā

āItās definitely nothing real about striking a female,ā he said. āAnd I mean, we all know that females can get us to the point of no return. And we know that thereās certain situations that might be hard to hold back, but I beg all my men period whether you black, white, purple, Chinese, it doesnāt matter. Try to keep your hands to yourself. If you could just walk away. And that doesnāt give women the permission to put your hands on men because thatās not fair at all either.ā
Jim Jones Speaks On Possible Tour With G-Unit, Fabolous & Other New York Artists
After Jim Jones was made aware that those in G-Unit expressed interest in touring with Dipset during their own interview with Hot 97, the rapper revealed that touring with G-Unit as well as a handful of other New York acts including Fabolous and The LOX would make for āone of the illest tours in Hip Hop history.ā
āI think that that was one of the tours that we all used to think about back in the days,ā the rapper said. āEven down to me and Cam. If it was an ill tour that would be the ill tour. And not even for that. As far as a real tour from New York. If we had the power or somebody with the means to do it. I would be like āG-Unit, Dipset, LOX, Fab, maybe a couple of the newer guys.ā But I think those people that I just mentioned right now has been in this game around the same amount of time and are still here and still noticeableā¦I speak about āem because I want them to come to lifeā¦I think that would be one of the illest tours in Hip Hop history.ā

Lastly, Jones offered an update on his current endeavors, which includes the launch of a new soda line called Vamp Soda.
āI was young and still heavily running in the streets back then, so my temper was a little bit different,ā Jones said when asked about his on-air argument with Mase years ago. āMy chill buttonāI had no chill button. Right now I got like a three-quarters of a chill buttonā¦Itās good though. The music led me to the TV. TV, I started doing the clothing line. The clothing line started doing well. Now Iām into a venture with soda. [Theyāll] be drinking Vamp Soda in a minute. First flavor, Vamp Berry. Real serious. Iām looking at different things, but this soda thing is very exciting to me.ā
