Jim Jones stopped by The Breakfast Club and continued to double down on his recent Pusha-T slander asking “Can You Name 5 Songs?”.
Recently Rap Caviar’s head honcho Carl Chery posted a clip from a podcast where Jim Jones disputed Pusha-T’s place on Billboard’s top 50 rappers lists. While many can say Jim was hating, Capo was clearly asking what the criteria were for the list for Pusha to be so high.
“How?!” Jones asked. “What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time? Besides talk about cocaine that he probably didn’t get himself,” he said with a laugh. “He could rap his a** off but what has he done? Nobody has dressed like him, Nobody want to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing.”
This sparked numerous online debates with many claiming if Pusha is that high then artists like Gucci Mane would have to be top 10. Recently Jim Jones dropped by The Breakfast Club and the topic came up once again and Jimmy doubled down. Furthermore asking radio host Charlamagne The God and DJ Envy to name 5 Pusha records.
“Could you name five Pusha T records?” he asked. “Could you name five Pusha T records? No, could you rap to five Pusha T records? Could you rap five [Jay-Z] verses if they came on? Could you rap five Drake verses if they came on? You lying because you work at radio. I’m just gonna say that because n***as gonna say Jim went way wildin.”
Jim clarified he has no issues with Pusha-T, it’s just his personal opinion on who deserves to be top 50.
“Shoutout to Pusha T, I love your soul,” Jim Jones continued. “You my dawg, you not in my top 50. You might be in Charlamagne’s top 50 and things like that, but you haven’t done that much for me in my life. I never wanted to be like Pusha, I never had a Pusha moment in my life. Where I’m from, n***as wanted to be like you if you was really that dude as a rapper.”
While many on social media will try and make this a full-blown beef, try looking at this from Jim’s perspective. Before making your list make sure you can name five records and ask yourself did you want to be like him. Unfortunately If not, your list isn’t Jim Jones-approved.
