JIMMY GETS NEW JOB

I am yet to appreciate the power that Jim Jones actually has it would appear as I was shocked as hell when I heard he was given a new title at Koch yesterday, Vice President of A&R. It’s one thing to put music out through a label but is a job like that even necessary when you are still trying to get your rap career off the ground? The Dipset member as a rapper is enough to make me go hmmm but as an A&R at the biggest indie label in the US, come on now. Of course Jimmy is a proud as punch at the new appointment saying “It feels good to know that the hard work has been recognized by the same people that have helped me get to this point in my career. They recognize that I’m not only an artist but a person that can smell talent and be able to mold a superstar.” Does Jim know what it takes to mold a superstar when he ain’t even a superstar himself though?
But didn’t he have some A&R role over at Warner too, which amounted to nothing. Next thing you know Dame Dash will be making his way over to Koch too.

The Doppelgangaz meet The Diplomats. Now repeat that ten times over. Anyway, the New York duo of The Doppelgangaz (Matter Ov Fact and EP) are linking up with Mr. Capo himself, Jim Jones, for "Jail Weight." The track is set to appear on The Gangaz forthcoming project titled Parts Unknown. Jones and Gangaz together actually kinda works, even in spite of the initial "WTF" when seeing those two on the same track. Check out The Doppelgangaz' "Jail Weight" after the jump.

In case you haven't heard, The Diplomats are back. The return of OG Dipset members Jim Jones, Freekey Zeeky, and Juelz Santana together so far has been promising with the Harlem squadron dropping the awesome "Have My Money" loosie and now a gloomy, aggressive, and downright murderous freestyle over The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Victory." Many have interpreted the lyrics as shots at JAY Z and his website, Life + Times. Listen to The Diplomats' "Victory" freestyle after the jump.

New Music: Dipset – “Have My Money”

9 years ago view-show 1,381,149

When Dipset announced they'd be reuniting again and dropping a mixtape many, including myself, didn't think much of it. It was a classic case of 'I'll believe it when I see it.' And now, I am a believer as Dipset have shared a new track "Have My Money" on Funk Flex's radio show. "Have My Money" features OG Dipset members Jim Jones, Freekey Zeeky, Juelz Santana, and of course Cam'ron. Listen to the new Dipset track after the jump!

Happy Turkey Day: 30 Photos of Rappers Giving Back on Thanksgiving

9 years ago view-show 9,741,501

Thanksgiving is here! Thanksgiving is here! But it's not all fun and games and stuffing your face with food. While we sit comfortably in our humble abode with our loved ones, celebrating with a feast, there are those who go out and make sure to help those in need. Sadly, however, rappers aren't exactly the first profession that'd cross your mind as being "helpful" as these are merely gangsters, drug dealers, and entertainers, right? Wrong. For example Birdman and Cash Money are participating in their 20th annual Turkey Giveaway this week. And that's not all, as rappers like Jeezy, T.I., and Ludacris regularly find themselves helping local Atlanta natives enjoy their Thanksgiving as well. So, we here at iHipHop decided we'd attempt to dispel the myths of rappers being careless and lazy, and showcase their good deeds, by assembling a picture slideshow of them giving back on Thanksgiving. Enjoy and happy Thanksgiving!

  2. ALL PRAISES DUE DAMU… THAS DEFENITELY A BIG MOVE. THAS A MOVE THAT NO “ARTIST TO KOME OUT OF A SUBSIDERARY LABEL HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO IN A LONG TYME. I LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT HATE BUT THEY DONT HAVE A BUSINESS MIND FRAME PER SAY. THEY DONT UNDERSTAND THE MECHANIKS OR INFRASTUCTURE OF THE CORPORATE MUSIK BUSINESS INDUSTRY.
    THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT JAY-Z FEARD WHEN THE DIPOMATS WHERE UNDER DEF JAM. HE KNEW CAMRONS MOVEMENT WAS STRONGER THAN ANY BODY OB THERE LABEL. THE ONLY PERSON TO KOME CLOSE WAS BEANIEE WITH HIS STATE PROPERTY KLICK. BUT U SEEN HOW THAT SHIT FLOPED.. JIM JONES HAS BEEN KOMING ALONG WAY.. I THINK KAM SEEN THIS KOMMING .. MAYBE THERES A LIL JEALOUSY IN THE AIR WITH KAM.
    IN SUCH A SHORT TYME HE HAS WEN FROM HYPE MAN TO ARTIST TO BUSINESS MAN.. AND SOME DIRECTING ON THE SIDE…..
    I HOPE HE KAN INSTALL THOSE FUNDAMENTALS ON HIS KLICK.. I KNOW MAX B.. TYGHT AS HELL RIGHT NOW..LOL

    BUSINESS MIND FRAME IS A FOUNDATION TO SUCEESS IN THIS WIKED CAPITALIST SOCIETY……PARTICIPATE OR PERISH!!
