I agree with the OP. I fukks with Jim Jones heavy, always have. He has some great 16's here and there, but his talent is having an ear for other talent and production ( except on the prey 4 reign album, garbage sonically.) hes overshadowed by who he is supposed to be to most "cam's weed carrier/mr.balling" but he can hold his own, has his own sound. The vampire life tapes are a step above the prior stuff IMO. his best stuff is the tracks influenced by max B and stack bundles. Stack bundles was the real kicker to that group's dynamic if they were ever going to make it mainstream.IMO, Jim jones prolly will have his solid fan base on the east coast but not as big as he may dream. NYC riding hard with him and the VL hood brand. Regardless of who people know him as, if you listen to his discogprahy from the first features on Cam's a;bums ( track of note being DO it Again on SDE, his 16 was the best), to his album release, on my way to church, you get a genuine representation of Jim Jones as a personality. Skip pray 4 reign except the NOE tracks. Vampire Life mixtape serious is on point, some of his best work out.
