Jim Jones had a lot to say during his recent conversation with Breakfast club While promoting his latest album By the church stepsBut the most notable topic he was talking about was about his gang attachment.
While talking about his connection to the infamous 6ix9ine case, Charlamagne Tha God asked him why he did not run from his association with the blood that Jones compared to being a member of a gang of being a member of a brotherhood. “It’s not a crime to be a blood,” asked. “It’s not a crime to be a bang. It is not a crime to be a fraternity member. It is not a crime to be a sorority member. It’s the same. It is a crime if you do crime while you are and it turns into other things. If it is more than one of you who makes crime while you are blood, it becomes a rico and similar thing. I act. I’m a businessman, heard you? Always music, baby! ”
DJ Envy then asked him if he regretted he was commercialization of being a gang member and to Jones’ credit, he did not break away from the question and owned it. “Yes, I did it cool, but I commercialized it too,” he admitted. “I earned millions of dollars out of gang culture. Same thing with [what] Snoop has done and the west coast. ”
Adds: “Do I regret something? No, I don’t. Because I have done so many positive things that are in this position as a man, like being a gang member, as being a father, like being all these things, are you digging? If I didn’t have this platform, people would never know how big some of these people can be because I’ve put on a lot of people and placed them in positions to feed their family. “
Elsewhere in the interview, he challenged his colleague -dipet -Member Cam’ron to a celebrity box match with the winner who took $ 10 million home and called 50 cents “A Sucker” when he discussed New York artists to make a Verzuz.
