When you Google the name Jim Jones, at least two maniacs pop up, one who gave out the Kool-Aid, and one who clearly drank it. This week, rapper and reality star recently went on a podcast to proclaim that he is more influential than Nas, as in Nasir “If I Ruled The World,” Jones.

As was expected and appropriate, many social media users blasted Jimothy for his attachment to delusion. Jimothy can’t even get a fresh set of braids, so we clearly know that his head ain’t right, but the assumption was that it was only the aesthetics that were the issue, not what was going on in the processing plant. 

Nas’s mystique has always been someone who is quiet and lays low, meanwhile Jim went on a whole TV show about love and hip-hop and was not really great at either. Equality is important in a relationship, but embarrassment seemed to be prioritized in his several-decade-long relationship with his permanent fiancée, Chrissy Lampkin. After initially making the comment, Jim doubled down and asserted that because he was more viral than Nas, he was much more influential. Nas has 6.8 million followers on Instagram to Jim’s 3.7 million. 

Jim then asserted on his own social media that it was all a marketing ploy by writing, “If u 40 n up arguing with me about nas yal already lost yal fell for th bate my streams go up every time I got viral im teachin u older artists a lesson in marketing yal so stuck in yesterday yal mad at th way things run today tightn up lol.”

That was the exact spelling, grammar and punctuation used in the post. Jim is 48 years old, what older artists? Bih, YOU are the older artist. 

There have been several rappers who have come for Nas and were promptly sent packing. Let’s not forget that Nas ethered Jay-Z, who some have argued is the best rapper alive. 

After being known for really two songs, “Ballin,” and “Pop Champagne,” just one of Nas’ albums could wash, dry and fold Jim Jones’ entire discography. Jim is a geriatric teenager who is still living off the glory of his third-string J.V. football career. Not to say that Jim Jones isn’t influential; I mean, his hair alone inspired many of Tyler Perry’s greatest wig capers, but he is no Nas.

Amy Winehouse and J. Cole wrote whole songs about Nas, while Jim isn’t even the Beyoncé of his friend group.

Not that the name is new or anything, but nobody is naming their child Jim because of Jim Jones; however, there are a few more Nasirs in the world, thanks to Nas. Jim even stated in 2021 that Nas was one of his favorite rappers of all time, but Nas ain’t said that about Jim.

Jim Jones looks 20 years older than his age and acts 20 years younger.

Nas has yet to publicly respond to the diss, but that’s probably because he’s somewhere counting the millions he’s made from smart investments and not trying to relive the glory days of his career, unlike some people.
