Hell no! What is Jim wearing?

Jim hating on here.
Everyone seems to have an opinion on “Swagger Like Us,” T.I.’s recent all-star collabo with Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye West. Folks like Jermaine Dupri and Diddy have even recorded their own verses over the song in an attempt to a**ert their own “swag” status.
Now Jim Jones is taking it one step further. Last week, we were building with the Capo in his studio for some future shit (stay tuned) when he spilled the beans about his own response to the song, a rumor that Miss Info reported on yesterday. He’s currently recording a new joint named “Jackin’ Swagger From Us,” featuring additional verses from Juelz and Lil Wayne, along with a re-recorded hook from M.I.A. and a new beat by Chink Santana. Read on to preview an exclusive snippet of the track and see what Jones had to say about the four artists on the first “Swagger”…
Complex: You and Juelz are all about that swag-splashing. How do you feel about not being included on “Swagger Like Us”?
Jim Jones: I think it was deliberate. I really do think it was deliberate; maybe in my sick twisted mind I’m a little crazy. People know who set the precedent as far as fashion in this industry and people know who damn near changed the world as far as fashion. You look at people, they went from the urban world of clothing, back when Rocawear and Sean John was cool. And then in the past 5 years I stepped in and gave them a taste of what rock and roll looks like from my side. I guess people would say from an urban side, and it seemed to catch on like wildfire, to the point that people was going to stores and asking for that Jim Jones look. Me and Juelz had Chink do our own beat, I have Weezy’s verse in my inbox right now and we kept the hook of that song because it was a sample. So we’re going to put that as a bonus track on the album, and put it to the streets. “No one on the corner got swag like you we don’t Rocawear that’s for fags like you.” [Laughs.]
Complex: Ahhh…
Jim Jones: And look at the Vibe cover. Tell me who Jay-Z looks like in there? Did you see the picture of him? With the Louis Vuitton scarf and all that. Who did that resemble? You can say it. But he did it wrong; he had a Gucci belt with a Louis Vuitton scarf. Who does that? You smell me? That’s like wearing one Nike and one Puma; how you going to get away with that? But I didn’t take the song as a shot, because I don’t feel like none [besides Weezy] of them possess any swag.
Complex: What about T.I?
Jim Jones: I don’t feel like he possesses any swag. Not like that. It’s fabricated. They’re watching other people, then they try and do it. You know people that dress like T.I.? You know people that go out and say let me get a T.I. outfit or do you know people who say “yo, you’re looking like Jim Jones?” Which one? Lemme hear it! When the bitches want to f*** you and the niggas want be like you, who got the swag? Niggas with money and fame always going to look like they doing something ’cause they got the camera in front of them. But the cool dudes always stick out no matter where they at.

It's his gay hobo swagger.

grown men on some childish i dress better than you shit. id be embara**ed to even speak like that...

if jim jones calls wearing a silky indian like scarf and a dirty ol jean a swag
then i definately and never want to have a swag. im cool in my kayo star jeans and my mille sneakers
and a chiskop
-
I always get so embarra**ed when these guys talk. I feel like they create a really warped impression of hip hop among those who don't know any better.
Grownups talking about who has the biggest chain or nicest car or makes the most money seems very juvenile. Reminds me of some AGians though.
Retarded in my opinion.

Cosign, and he didn't need any gimics or flashy clothes.
I thought swagger was supposed to be about how you carry yourself, not about how much you're willing to spend on ugly clothes.

odb was a Swagger king in his time! In Swag may he rest!
I shud make tees on sum "Got Swag?"
n start a campaign

i thought the same thing but then they said jim jones has swagger so. evidently the definition of swagger morphed over time.

Nah it's not that, i think his a lil like Arthur Mafokati . They find the thing that peeps like and talk about and see if they willing to buy it then they'll be the first to promote it. Good thinking dude, waste non!

Thing is he won't be the first to print, promote or do anything on this. Stop Jocking him and wipe your mouth. Is that yoghurt?
You can even order got swag tees off the net.

At least now i have a case study to work with.

Now that was swagger! ODB was straight up insane and didn't give a f*** people
thought about him.
But back to Dip$hit, don't be surprised to see the day come when Jim Jones, Santana,
and maybe Cam'ron start wearing lipstick, high heels and dresses. They've been trying
tell us something from the start!

I cant stop laughing at Jim jones with that scarf. How stupid. I agree the menaing of swag has changed if that's swag. it's got nothing to do with how much your clothes cost if you got it you got it. Some underground rappers wearing underground labels have more swag than some commercial clowns.
-
any swag derived from anything other than knowing you've got skills (or that you just don't give a f*** a la ODB) isn't worth having.

Yep.

what swagger does nas have? eish mara?
Come on nigga! Nasir had that swagger in his heyday, "Gucci this,fendi that" Holding that Cristal in his right hand while rappin on top of a cage he be talkin about in the Hate me now" days. I guess in this day and age he no longer fits that bill (in terms of fashion that is)
