Jim Jones Doesn’t Want To Be Compared To Nas

Jim Jones disagrees with the assertion that he should be compared to Nas.

Appearing on Fat Joe and Jadakiss‘ podcast, Joe and Jada, which you can watch below, Joey Crack spoke about a viral clip where a 22-year-old compared Capo and  Nas, suggesting Jones has more influence than the Queensbridge legend

“I was a superior Nas fan, but when you get into the game, you realize your idols become rivals,” Jones said. “Not to take anything away from that. I developed my own style and my own lane that these kids started to gravitate towards, the same way I gravitated towards Nas when I was younger.”

Jadakiss chimes in, saying that Jones’ son knows who Nas is.

In his response, Jones said that his son is not familiar with much of Nas’ music,

“My son can’t tell me one Nas record,” Jones replied. “There must be some type of misconception when it comes to Jim Jones and what Jim Jones has done in this game. A lot of these rappers have done a tremendous job. And I take nothing away from them. But they forget, I got a hell of a catalog. Gold records, platinum records. … Check my track record. Then check everybody else’s track record.”

While he says he’s not trying to discredit any other rapper’s accomplishments, Jones believes that people are “trying to act funny” when they draw these comparisons. He also shared that he has more Billboard entries than Nas.

“I’ve been putting on,” Jones said. “If you want to go to the Billboard entries, pull up Nas’ Billboard entries and pull up my Billboard entries.”
