After going back and forth over who’s the best rapper of 2021, Jim Jones and Conway The Machine are going to face each other to determine who claims the title.
On June 18, Jim Jones paid a visit to Brian “B. Dot” Miller on Complex where he spoke about the “Top 10 Rappers of 2021” list the RapRadar Podcast host put out earlier this month. Capo gave The Machine his credit but said there’s no competition as the Harlem native believes he’s the better rapper.
Conway saw the clip and reposted it on Instagram with a caption saying Jones couldn’t match up with him in a real rap battle.
“I’m minding my business tryna enjoy my 2 Michelin star dinner right now but fuck it I got a little time on my hands,” Conway wrote. “Stop playin wit me edition @bdottm @complex u already KNOW capo can’t fuck wit me… @jimjonescapo let me hear something king.”
Jones then hopped in the comment section asking Conway which decade in his expansive career does he want him to touch in their battle.
“Wht decade u want me start th 90s 2000 2010 or 2010 to 2021 I’m ready,” Jones wrote.
“2015 to 2021 the Griselda era…. We Waitin,” Conway replied back.
The showdown trickled over to Twitter when B. Dot tweeted Conway’s Instagram post and took the battle to the next level. Instead of having the two rappers play their own songs, B. Dot insisted they rap over new beats.
“Looks like @WHOISCONWAY is ready,” he wrote. “We need a producer. @Boi1da send ova a pack!”
The Grammy Award-winning producer heard the call and responded with a gif showing his excitement with the upcoming battle.
There’s no date set for this battle but fans can expect it to go down with how serious both Jones and Conway are taking it. After causing all this commotion with his list, B. Dot may want to look into making these rap battles an actual thing after Jones advised they work on making this battle the start of a buzzing platform during his interview.
Jim Jones fired the first shot when he wasn’t too happy with his position on B. Dot’s list. He came in at No. 10 but believed he could really out-rap people like Freddie Gibbs, J. Cole, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, Drake and more.
“I didn’t make this list but tell @bdottm th list is cute I’m a start chopping this list down one by one lol,” Jones wrote in the caption. “Matters fact put me in th booth wit anyone of these artist and let’s do it live see who’s left standing. Thts how we can really settle this shit like th westerns shoot th booth up.”

He continued, “Makin music is fun till u gotta go head to head I love competition. Anybody wanna rump let me know besides th competition we can make a serious bag turn this into a NFT and everybody walk away wit a bag like a @floydmayweather fight. Yal let me know if any of these artist accept th challenge I’m ready.”
Hahaha Jim jones. He’s wak . Yall wanna hear some real boss hip hop shit? >>>> emoney – ima don
Yall forgot the hottest rapper out ME.
No disrespect to Jones. I listened to his first 3 albums a lot when they first came out, but I don’t think he is touching Conway.
R.I.P. JIM JONES, THE MACHINE ABOUT TO MURDER CAPO, NO CAP!!
Jimmy did come a long way, but Conway gonna wash him
Jimmy been spitting on his last few albums but I got the machine on this one
Conway finna kill him hands down and give me the Conway dunks bars for this battle
Jim Jones look like he don’t take showers. Take a fuk’n shower, ya bum.
What everyone else said
La maquina
Jim Jones couldn’t out rap me and I don’t even rap.
Jim got some hot music.. He puts his albums and music 2gtha well in general, can c y he thinks he one of the best out in terms of quality music.. However, it i’snt even a contest if we strictly comparing technical skill and bars. plus Conways music has been pretty good too, so for me its an easy Conway selection
Jim Jones’ about to find out how irrelevant he is in 2021. Yes lawd.
White suburban fans activated
Jim Jones has NEVER been a great rapper… He didn’t even belong on that list in the first place, or the bet hottest trailers list in 07. i can not Venice people actually listen to this mf on purpose. I have nothing against him, the only person he’s maybe better than is CAM’RON…. and that’s a pretty low bar *barf*
Oh man, I am so hungover at the moment. I need a Gatorade. Something, something, hip hop
Jones is ass!!!
West is the brains behind it and Benny is the star/but let’s not act like Machine ain’t the silliest with the bars.
Jim is going to get washed.
Machine don’t need to wash Capo coz he so wack he sleep with the fishes.
Premature for anyone to be battling for Top Rapper of 2021. One things for sure though, Jimmy can’t keep up with Machine
Jim Jones is a great lyricist but he has that corny NYC Bloods/ Crips vibe that I could never get into. I have zero respect for any self identifying Blood or Crip under the age of 45 not from Southern California. As far as I’m concerned if you don’t fit in that very small classification you’re a poser and a community parasite.
