Jim Jones is a legend...maybe not for his music but for his impact on the game. I actually fukked with his music. He was never techincally the best rapper but his bread n butter was his ear for great beats and songcrafting ability. He also has great mic presence and drop gems from time to time

I actually was bumping The Ghost Of Rich Porter earlier and I forgot how dope it was. One of the most slept on mixtapes this decade...his best work imo. He's released some quality albums/tapes.

Man i really miss that era of music. Asap tried to recapture the feeling but its not the same. The energy, excitement...it cant be matched. Yall had to be around to experience it. Once Jimmy befriended 50...Juelz fell off a cliff, Cam went under the radar and max got 75....it was over.

New Yorks ryder man!
people turned on him over the Cam and Max stuff and he gets himself in trouble but he's a hustler and earned his place.

is Jim the best weed carrier, hype man in terms of career, body of work and influence ?

he also paved the way for guys involved in the mainstream on the east coast to go indie when it was seen as the death knell.
he made it look good a good move to make.

Jim when he got money and was more swagged out is cool but when he had the rambling flow spitting that corner boy pain >
