Jim Jones Hits Back At Cam’ron’s Taunts By Teasing New Song With Harlem Heavyweights

Jim Jones has teased a remix of his Harlem-themed new song, with a bevy of Harlem rappers, right after his friend-turned-antagonist Cam’ron accused the rapper of not really being from the NYC neighborhood he claims in the track.

“You are from the Bronx, bro. You are not from Harlem. I did not grow up with you, my n-gga,” Cam said earlier this week on his and Ma$e‘s show It Is What It Is. Jim’s “This Sh!t Still In Harlem” remix, which he said on Tuesday (January 14) will feature Dipset member Juelz Santana, Vado, Dave East, and 2gs Like Gucci, was not directly billed as a response to that comment, but many observers took it that way.

“Thts uptown downtown east side west and th heights th whole Harlem is covered,” Jim wrote about the people on the remix.

Check the message, along with a teaser of Juelz’s verse, below.

The feud between Jim and Cam began with recent comments made by Capo in an interview with Justin Laboy.

Cam’ron objected to Jones’ claim during the Laboy sitdown that the Dipset members grew up together and that Jim watched Ma$e “shit on Cam” after he got signed to Diddy‘s Bad Boy Records.

In Killa Cam’s response, delivered Monday on It Is What It Is, he said that he and Jim only became cool after Jones tried to start a friendship with him following the success of his early freestyles and mixtapes with his Children of the Corn cohorts Ma$e, Big L and his cousin Bloodshed (several of which he played during the episode).

“You wasn’t there, n-gga! We were super-duper popping in the street. Everybody knew we were about to get a record deal,” he said.

“Basically, you heard our freestyles and you came up to me one day and you said, ‘Yo man, I heard the freestyles. Y’all killing shit. My grandmother died if y’all wanna come by and just hang out, y’all more than welcome.’”

He added: “You were fanned out and you begged n-ggas to come to your house after you heard all these mixtapes. That’s how you got in, n-gga.”

Cam’ron also mocked Jim for admitting that Ma$e taught him how to rap.

On Tuesday (January 14), Jones posted a song snippet on Instagram that appeared to respond to Cam’s words from the day before.

Jones captioned the video: “I said wht I said after they laugh at th lies th truth still hurts… Why would I waste free promo got me trending I’m tryin to drop.” He noted that his new album and movie At the Church Steps is coming soon.

The song begins: “N-ggas play with your name, then you remind them who you are.” He addresses Cam’s claim that Jim should be criticized for having friends who were incarcerated in the federal racketeering case that involved 6ix9ine.

“Stop tricking n-ggas out they freedom,” Cam said in his It Is What It Is segment. “‘Cause n-ggas get around you to put theyselves in better situations, bro. Not to be in worse situations than they was before they met you… You send them on dummy missions and trick them out they freedom… Shotti [Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, 6ix9ine’s former manager who was sentenced to 15 years in prison], he was trying to be a [manager], twelve years [in prison]. And I know you love Mel [Jamel “Mel Murda”/”Mel Matrix” Jones, who was sentenced to 135 months]. I love Mel Matrix, that’s my brother… You said when he come home, he gonna be the triple O.G. Get that man a job, my n-gga.”

In seeming response, Jones shouts out several of the people arrested in that case by name.

“All my n-ggas do they time, you know my team body,” he raps. “It’s been seven years since I’ve seen Shotti / It’s been seven years since I saw Melly / And now he gotta fly straight ’cause he got four fellies.”

“So what more you want to ask him?” Jones continues, before nodding to Cam’s reference to Ma$e teaching Jim to rap. “You n-ggas taught me how to rap, and now I’m platinum.”
