Later this month, Jim Jones’ will drop On The Way To The Church on Koch Records. Here, the certified gangsta speaks.
On success: “The # 1 thing that made us [Diplomats] so successful or kept us in this game is that we didn’t compromise ourselves in nothing we did ever in any term or deal we took. We didn’t sell our souls, not for the bullsh*t, not for a chance at the ultimate fame. If it comes, it comes. But we gonna do it the way we want to do it. We not gonna fail because the way someone else wanted us to do it. Nah, if we fail and it’s on our own terms, we gonna be content with that because it’s all about us.”
On Mase: “I don’t know why Mase came back for. Probably came back to just piss me off. I ain’t got nothing to say about the young man. Let him do him. This game is a hustle. You smell me? But I thought he was just preaching. I thought he was just a reverend. Smell me? So he must have back slid.
Something must have happened in his life. But I don’t know what to say about that young man. That’s not one of the people I want to talk about right now.”
