JIM JONES DOES DAMAGE CONTROL ON T.I. COMMENTS

Q: A lot of people were surprised with your comments to Complex regarding T.I….
JJ: People took it the wrong way. I wasn’t really deliberately doing nothing to knock T.I. I was just saying what I felt regarding swagger and who sets the precedent for it. I know for sure that people have said, “Yo, you looking like Jim Jones. I’m trying to get that ‘Jim Jones’ look.” But I haven’t heard people saying you’re looking like T.I. or whoever. Where I’m from, n****s don’t run to go look like no Kanye. I don’t hear n****s in the ‘hood like I need to get that jacket Jay had on.
Q:Have you seen T.I.’s clothing line, AKOO?
JJ: I haven’t seen it. I seen an ad and his jeans look like some Pepe Jeans. But that’s another story. I ain’t mad at nobody in this bulls**t game.
Q: Do you think the press misconstrued your comments regarding T.I.?
JJ: I don’t care what the press did. They misconstrued it or they got it right. You can take it how the f*ck n*gg*s wanna take it. I suggest they take it in f*ck*ng stride.

Q: Now that you and Cam aren’t really on good terms, is there regret on your part that you went to bat for Cam and got into a beef with Nas?
JJ:Nah. F*ck Nas. I don’t give a f*ck about Nas. He’s a rapper that just lost his pizazz. When I was in high school, he was the sh*t. He was the n*gg* that got us hyped. “New York State of Mind,” Illmatic and all of that.
