During a recent interview with XXL, Jim Jones addressed tensions between Dipset and G-Unit.
“Ain’t no tensions,” Jones says. “Nah, it’s a good time to jump back in the game. They got a lot of momentum. There are a lot of things that occurred in these past few weeks that kinda gave them a comeback. Shout out to the G-Unit.”
Another Rap group the emcee addresses in the interview is A$AP Mob, a group he says is unlike Dipset.
“They weren’t from the street,” Jim Jones says. “They’re a good group of kids and they’re artistic, but they’re not from the street and their style is way different than what we do. It’s a little bit far out there for me. We got bonafide swag and the definition of get fly, ya dig? I’m not trying to disrespect them—A$AP Mob is doing it, they got their numbers and they’re doing what they like to do—but they’re nothing like the Diplomats. They didn’t come up hanging and banging and hustling and really touching the pavement, ya dig? It’s a big difference. We don’t wear kilts and we don’t wear tight sweatpants and funny sneakers. That’s not our style. Price point and high fashion don’t really make it cool. I’ll still go in Wal-Mart and come out and niggas will still think it’s Versace.”

Beyond G-Unit and A$AP Mob, Jim Jones also addressed Dipset’s influence, referencing N.W.A.
“Maybe the most influential—besides N.W.A—when it comes to everything,” he says. “When it comes to style, we’re probably the most influential. I don’t recall no other group giving it to the world the way we was giving it to them. If you can recall or if you know some people, let me know. It’s good. I take it as a compliment. A lot of people was watching.”
