I don’t really know what the fuss about this beat is…

Meh…Off Victory, due out March 2nd.

Jim Jones talks to The Source about the Brooklyn/Harlem beef, his movie “Red Apples Falling,” and “The Ghost Of Rich Porter mixtape.”

Jimmy and Game’s part two of their first major collab. And yes, it’s just “Game” now.

You know it can’t be as good as the original. It is what it is.

Another record from Jim Jones’ “Ghost of Rich Porter” mixtape that is set to drop this forthcoming Tuesday.

Entitled “Bust A Move,” Jones recruits Shooter Holly to partake in this Byrd Gang record.

Not entirely feeling this track, but I do have high hopes for his mixtape, which you will see here on Tuesday, so be sure to check back then.

The Dipset crew is not usually a group I listen to, mostly because they all wear LV scarves (is that cool?  When did scarves that cost $500 become a cool fashion statement for men?).  Juelz Santana and Jim Jones are somewhat of an anomaly in hip-hop.  When they rap singularly, or on the same song, they are usually trash.  Yet surround them with talented emcees, i.e. Jim Jones on the BlakRoc album or Juelz Satana when he appeared on a Fort Minor mixtape with Mike Shinoda and Celph Titled, they both surprisingly showcase their talents.  Yet here, on the same song, both Jim Jones and Juelz are lyrically solid.  It gives me hope that these two will stop catering to the mainstream with their basic lyrics and continue to just spit.  The video is fairly reminiscent of certain scenes from American Gangster, although Russel Crowe is nowhere to be found.  Over the “Forever” beat.  Check it out.

Here comes some new content from Jim Jones.

Off of Jim Jones’ forthcoming Ghost Of Rich Porter mixtape, Jones recruits Rev Run to lay a verse and help produce, along with Cass & Dubs.

Not who you were expecting to see collaborate with Jones? Me either. Whatever though, I kind of dig it. Link below, folks.

The Black Keys, Mos Def, and Jim Jones grace David Letterman with a live performance of “Ain’t Nothing Like You (Hoochie Coo)” off of their album BlakRoc. The song sounds incredible live. Also, this is honestly the first time I have ever heard Jim Jones legitimately spit. I thought he was garbage, but his two verses on this track are really good. I would love to see more of this Mr. Jones.

Above, Jim Jones and Curren$y record Aerial, that will be featured on Ski Beatz’ 24 Hour Karate School mixtape.

I need to make up for my lack of posting recently, due to the recent breakdown of my MacBook Pro…way to go Apple.  Anyway, here is the official trailer for a CD I think is going to be absolutely amazing.  Dame Dash has teamed up with rock group The Black Keys to create a fusion of hip-hop and rock called BlakRoc.  Featuring some of the best lyricists in the game like Mos Def, Raekwon, RZA, and Pharoahe Monch, this CD is going to be nothing less than brilliant.  Hip-hop has come a long way. CD out in stores on Friday, make sure you go pick it up.

Looks like Jim Jones recruited Maino for hit lastest cut, Tryna Win.

Diddy recruits Rick Ross for the remix to his Dirty Money hit, Angels. On top of that, he recruits Jim Jones, Fabolous and Red Cafe to remix his Dirty Money’s track, Love Come Down. Links for both below, folks.

Sidebar: Quite honestly, Fabolous did the damn thing and I am quite pleased with his efforts on this track. However, I am looking forward to the Lupe Fiasco remix to Angels more so than anything, especially a remix from Ross.

More from Dame’s Blakroc project. The whole concept of getting all these guys together really was dope. Everybody seems to be liking the finished products.
