Jim Jones recently spoke with XXL about a perceived rivalry between G-Unit and Dipset.
“It was definitely a level of respect, and it was definitely a level of, ‘We don’t really give a fuck who they are,’” Jones says in an interview with XXL‘s Dan Rys. “There’s a heavy bit of competition with New York City…But when it came to G-Unit, it was like, ‘What’s up? We’re all pretty much on the same level.’ I mean, we all know 50 was one of the biggest artists to come out of Rap in history. But on the level of the movement, our movement was just as strong as his; maybe not as commercial as his, but just as strong as his.”
Jim Jones On Cam’ron: “We Moved In A Little Bit of Different Directions”
Although he praises the Dipset movement, Jones acknowledges that he and Cam’ron have gone in different directions recently.
“Me and Cam always been weird with each other, even at our closest moments,” he says. “I couldn’t call him a weirdo without calling myself a weirdo. The love we have for each other I know is unconditional, regardless of what goes on. It’s funny like that. So I just take it for what it is. I love that nigga to death. We moved in a little bit of different directions, but we got something in life that will always be a bond that we can’t take away, and that’s the Diplomats, what we started.”
Jim Jones Says Rap Is A Little Bit Friendly Nowadays
Moving beyond the Diplomats, Jones says that Rap today is different than it was in the past.
“Everybody’s a little bit friendly nowadays,” he says, though he later praises Bobby Shmurda. “As you can see, being friends kinda erupts and turns into bullshit. I’ve watched the game in the past few years and it seems like it was one big alliance, everybody is holding hands and shit like that, niggas doing music together. It didn’t feel like it was really any competition, or niggas was scared to have to go up against competition. That shit ain’t how Hip Hop is… That sport of the game is gone. When people see Backstage and they saw Jay Z and DMX rapping, that was some real shit that went on every day in Hip Hop. You dig? I think the last of that was probably around the time when Cassidy and Freeway was battling, and Cassidy went crazy, you dig? That was the real last of us niggas really doing that.”

And both are irrelevant.
awww…you’re an mmg fan…whats the matter? fifteen seconds are up?
Jim is a clown but you have to give him credit for maximizing his 15 minutes of fame.
Dipset was a grassroots NY movement but they could have done without Jim Jones, shit Cam and Juelz were the stars and the rest were interchangeable and unmarketable but I often wonder how Vado would have worked with the Dips back when they were hot.
G-Unit and Dipset are 2 of the best groups/crews of all time. Only people i have ever seen hate on them are 90’s babies and SOFT people who get upset when their boss tells them off.
G Unit is not even a Top 20 group/crew and nobody but 90’s babies and crak babies old say they were when you can name.

Dont forget Salt N Pepa.
Jimmy was always the weakest link and he let people outside the clique to come between him and his brothers so fuck him and the mole on Chrissys face.
jim jones broke ass trying his hardest to get 50 attetion..if jim could have i think he would of signed with g unit but growing up with camron is holding him back lol..
dipset dont really fuck wit each other like that..they not true like g unit is..they cant do 7 interviews in a week without looking fake…gunit is everywhere ..where is dipset?? i thought they got back together in 2010 when salute dropped?? gunit just got back together last month and already have more music than dipset put together…that bitch jha jha was right these niggas jus need the money aint no loyalty in it what so ever
jimmy just diss dame..like dame aint the nigga to get them niggas poppin at roc a fella..if it wasnt for dame , jim would still be cams hype man signed to sony or something lol
these dipshit niggas too broke…50 got more money than DIPSET as a crew….jr writter needed 40,000 to get a good lawyer but neither jimmy, cam or juelz could come up with it smh…thats sad when young jeezy can donate 1,000,000 like its nothing…
i thought harlem niggas make money??
where the hell is juelz lil punk ass at…nigga dropped god willin in early 2013 and went ghost…i wonder why he aint get at 50 for beating on his man slo bucks?? scary ass dipset niggas…
“.i wonder why he aint get at 50 for beating on his man slo bucks??”
he put some fuck boy shit up on IG but deleted it REAL QUICK, he still fucking with the snitch boys though, only nigga besides Trav’s groupie ass willing to give SBOE a feature after that press conference
see i fuck wit dipset and the lox more than i fuck wit the unit cus without they ceos or top bosses..dipset is still cool and the lox is still cool…wtf is gunit wihout 50 cent?
do you really think jim jones and juelz would have careers without killa cam?
Juelz had enough star power to make it without Camron maybe not Jim but the irony is that Jim had more success with Byrdgang than Juelz did with Skull Gang.
I dunno about Juelz having star power, where the fuck he been lately does he even make music still?
^^ cam gave juelz his style, listen to old juelz shit, thats all cams flow, and jimmy was dipsets hypeman!! FOH wit all that bullshit, byrdgang was originally purple city which was offshoots of what dipset was anyway, without Cam dipset, none of that shit would have existed
dude u better get the fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fu fuck outta here wit dat bollshit…50 jus better than any rapper ( escept eminem) i mean all he needed was get rich or die tryin..that shit sold more in its first 3 weeks than any juelz and jim album put together..do the math lol u can throw jada, styles, jr, hell rell in there too cus those bums never went plat…..numbers dont lie …i sorry lol
Commercial overhyped shit used to sell millions which is why Vanilla Ice and ICP have platinum albums and Rakim and Common dont. You have to salute what Dipset did on the Indie level back when rappers were clowning rappers for being Independant Koch/EOne.
@Swift agreed about dipset they was getting the independent money especially cam, but GRODT is a CLASSIC up there with those nas, rakim, and common albums you might consider a classic, stop hating
you are a g unit dick ryder aint you?
BITCH they last album just sold 12,000 first week
BITCH 50 last album just sold 40,000 first week
BITCH add all them sales up and it dont even come close to MASTERMIND you little BITCH
donT even come close to wale shit you little pussy boy
keep talking all tht crap from 10 years ago BITCH its 2015 foh
To be fair it was 14k and 47k first week numbers
Add up every Ross album sale and it still dont add up to The Massacre BITCH
Is like saying, all that money that I made in the last 10 years don’t count! Bitch made nikka! You can add all MMG album sales and still don’t add up to Massacre BITCH!
You’r an idiot…
Firstly, you’ve only stated first week sales for Albums that have only been out for a few weeks/months compared to an album that’s been out a few years…
50 gave away 90% of his last album for free before the release date & we all know SKI is the main project of his.
The E.P dropped out of nowhere, with no promotion and is onl 6 songs long, it’s no an album !.
Also, and most importantly you’re comparing a major label artist to an independent artist…
Wait for SKI & G-Unit’s real actual album comes out before talking trash, sir…
sales sales sales sales AND YOU AIN’T GET A RED PENNY FROM THEM SALES BITCH
Gunplay is that you?
everybody go grab that new gunit cd its fire on itunes right now fuck a album sale its 2014 shit digital fi fi fi …if if if u had common sense u would know that..let me guess your from anuther dumb ass country coming to america looking for that one opputunity..well fucking wit o name a get u killed so i suggest u just back up off it..the keyboard that is…..#HoMicide
actually im from chicago and i have no problem bussin a cap in yo punk ass #9/11
You aint from Chicago, faggot. Don’t utter the name Chicago from your cum-dripping tongue, you New Hampshire bitch.
mmg over…yea aiiiiight
Lox and G-Unit both have 2 albums and 1 EP under their belts. Dipset has 2 album so they need to drop an EP or full album to catch up.
nigga u ain’t 50
My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do,,,

does jim jones even got 1 gold album?
the dumbest thing he ever did was let max b get away from him he coulda been rich
all these dudes talk about being in street.
wow. he lives in a dream world. who buys his music????
you buy his music
Outlaw Immortalz ?
Dipset wave was good but not as stong as G unit…IN NY Dipset was hot but G unit was all over the globe…..
G unit at there peak lowest saling album was Tony Yayo which did 900K Dipset top saling album (Indep Label) was 700K
YOU might feel like it but NO WEAR CLOSE WAS THE MOVEMENT THE SAME
What kind of fuck boy cares about sales? Those are just little teenage girls buying them records anyway. Dipset released classics like Diplomatic Immunity 1 and From Me To U. Cam’ron – Come Home with Me went platinum and many other albums are considered classics of that era while G Unit was putting out trash. The only good records to come from G Unit was Get Rich or Die Trying and Straight Outta Cashville.
nah the Dips were doing there own thing while G unit was Interscope/aftermath/shady records, so obviously all types were jumping on it, commercialsm is the exact word.
Dipset is dead. They will never see more than 20k of sales from the group or any of the artist. Nas dissed them on a radio interview in the early 2000s and their careers were never the same. You guys wolfing never resulted to any harm on Nas or Jay. To think you won, when Nas didn’t even respond to you b/c he said the diss songs were too weak.
G-unit is dead as well. It is over guys. Jay Z, Nas and Eminem are the only relevant rappers and are with the Gods, you guys are journeymen. It sad to see 50, he use to sell a 1000000 the first week, now he is happy about selling 30k (that is with a ton of promotion. too funny. He goes in on Mayweather who is earning over 70 million a year, while Sms boxing promotions (owned by 50) made under 200,000 combined in the 2 and half years its has been around. Mayweather use to pay 50 a half a million just to perform before his matches. Stop hating, 50.
Just quit guys. No one wants new music from you, just live and tour on your existing body of hits… word of wisdom. keep dreaming jimmy..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Nas HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
