Harlem, New York rapper Jim Jones defended New York Hip Hop during an interview with radio personality Jenny Boom Boom when he was asked if the Hip Hop coming out of his hometown is dead. He then revealed that from a business perspective New York Hip Hop can never be dead.
The Dipset lyricist then went on to elaborate on what he feels is wrong with New York Hip Hop. According to Jones, New York rappers have big egos and are very divided. He went on to add that artists in the South and other regions work with one another regardless of what their relationships outside of music may be.
“New York Hip Hop it can never be dead if you look at it from the business point,” Jim Jones said in a video posted on Vlad TV. “Shit, you wanna make movies you go to Hollywood. You want a record deal you come to New York. So, if you really wanna be technical about the situation we still cut everybody’s checks. I don’t care where the hell the music is made. You understand what I’m saying? We put this on the map…Now as far as how music goes—I mean, music runs around 360 degrees all the time. So, when it’s down South for a little while. Whether it’s to the West Coast for a little while. Whether it’s to the Midwest for a little while. It’s always gonna come back to a place where it says it’s not popping. But New York’s problem is everybody here has a big ego. Including I. And everybody wants to be on top. And everybody wants to be the king. Nobody seems to be working with one another…It’s very divided. And the people that do stick together they’re still divided.”
Jones later spoke on the success of up-and-coming rapper Bobby Shmurda’s record, “Hot Nigga.” He attributed the success of the song to the accompanying dance and recalled the success of his own dance-friendly record, “Ballin.”
“One thing about a dance, you can’t beat a dance,” he said. “The ‘Ballin’ dance was half the battle…You think about all the people that danced in they career and figure out if they ever lost. Chris Brown, Diddy, Mike Jackson. Think about what dances do…A dance and a catchy record or whatever it always works. And God bless that kid cause shit, we all in the hood tryna come up. He’s young. He fresh out. And fresh out the hood…Them kids are young. I just hope they have somebody in they corner [that] actually know what it is to move with a movement or being something that can be very great.
In regards to possibly working with Bobby Shmurda, Jones says that the Brooklyn, New York lyricist would have to put out more music before he could answer that question.
“He gon’ have to really put out some music for me to be able to say would I work with Bobby or not. I have no opinion on what type of artist he is yet,” Jones said.

“The Dipset lyricist…”
REALLY? LYRICIST?
HHDX GTFOH WITH THAT BS
Blackthought is a lyricist
Talib Kwali is a lyricist
Nas is a lyricist
Pharaoh Monch is a lyricist
Jim Jones is a Hypeman at best. The same category as Maino. They are better off as Bodyguards or Security. With their rap skills it is hard to believe they come from NY.
Now if they were from Atlanta I did give them a pass
Think about it for a moment. The media’s turning the success of a single song to make an unproven Shmurda the face of NYC hip hop. That alone goes to show you how desperate NYC is.
And not hating on NYC hip hop either. To me, that will always be the mecca. It’s just on a downturn when it comes to mainstream or industry right now.
they do that for every region, done for the men, done for the women
go think some more
It is dead you dirty mono
Fuck Jim Jones and Chrissy touched it in Miami
Year rite. Jesus was born in Jerusalem but Jerusalem will be destroyed. Where something was birthed doesn’t mean ANYTHING. If it did then every brotha from the hood who grew up with out a father owes everything that he earned without his father not being there to him. NY hip hop can die, has died, and is still trying to make a come back. And his career is obsolete and has been since forever. Jim Jones is a CLOWN

The main reason NY hip hop died is because it did not adapt or evolve. The NY rap scene is still stuck in the boom-bap era. NY did not progress or move forward, they’re still living in the 90’s. A good example would be Joey Badass, Action Bronson, Bishop Nehru. Their music sounds dated. The few new NY rappers that make modern-sounding music like ASAP Mob and French Montana, receive nothing but hate by the NY rap press and elites for daring to stray from the boom-bap formula. It seems NY hip hop heads head innovation, creativity and just thinking outside the box.
foh with the french shit..they dickride the south thats the issue..i love the NY sound i listen 2 NY shit. you dont need to follow a trend..ny will be back on top eventually again.
NY will never be back on top if it does not update and modernise its sound. There is no market for boom-bap in 2014. Why do you think PE and Wu-tang sound so different even though they both rep the same city? The NY rap scene must move forward, if it does not it will be at the expense of its own relevancy.
Hahaha you must be a new Listener to Hip Hop anybody who’s listened to hip hop for more than 10 years knows the Boom bap era is the best one. It will come back that pop shit your defending is not hip hop. Go do your research.
