Jim Jones isn’t holding back. In a fiery response to Cam’ron’s recent jab questioning his Harlem roots, Jones revealed plans for a remix packed with Harlem’s finest artists.
Jones’s decision comes on the heels of Cam’ron’s allegation that he’s not truly from Harlem but rather from the Bronx. Cam’ron made these comments on his show, stirring up old tensions between the two.
This remix, which Jones has hinted will feature big names like Juelz Santana, Vado, Dave East, and 2gs Like Gucci, is not officially a clap back to Cam’ron, but it definitely has fans buzzing and drawing connections.
Jones took to social media, writing, ‘Thats uptown downtown east side west and the heights; the whole Harlem is covered,’ referring to the artists participating in this collaboration.
This current spat reignites a feud that began with Jones’s interview with Justin Laboy. In this segment, Jones suggested Dipset members grew up together and witnessed Ma$e’s early rivalry with Cam’ron.
Cam’ron countered Jones’s claims, insisting they weren’t as close during the early days as Jones portrays. Cam’ron accused Jones of trying to latch onto the group after their initial success.
In a segment of ‘It Is What It Is,’ Cam’ron described how Jones was eager to connect after hearing early freestyles with Ma$e and Big L. ‘You were fanned out,’ Cam’ron claimed, suggesting Jones was keen to join their circle.
Jones’s upcoming song snippet, shared on Instagram, appears to address Cam’ron’s accusations directly. He posted, ‘I said what I said after they laugh at the lies the truth still hurts…’ reinforcing his stance in this very public dispute.
The snippet includes pointed lyrics, with Jones stating, ‘Niggas play with your name, then you remind them who you are,’ echoing his intent to assert his reputation.
The back-and-forth has included discussions around their links to the troubled times involving associates of 6ix9ine, with Jones mentioning them in his music and standing by them.
Cam’ron didn’t hold back, criticizing Jones for his connections to individuals incarcerated due to racketeering charges, implying that Jones sent people on risky missions.
Jones remains unapologetic, celebrating friends who have served time, highlighting the lyrics: ‘All my niggas do they time, you know my team body.’
Throughout this exchange, both rappers have laid bare long-held grievances, with Jones aiming to drop his new album and movie soon, staying true to his Harlem identity. Cam’ron, meanwhile, took the opportunity to mock Jones for needing Ma$e to teach him how to rap.
The tension between Jim Jones and Cam’ron is palpable. With both artists entrenched in their narratives, Jones’s new Harlem remix stands as a testament to his roots and resilience.
