Jim Jones Gets Legendary Civil Rights Leader To Bless New Album
Jim Jones has as soon as once more linked up with legendary civil rights chief Ben Chavis Jr. for his new album, At the Church Steps.
Chavis beforehand appeared in skits on the Dipset rapper’s 2004 debut On My Way to Church, as properly on a track on his 2006 album, Hustler’s P.O.M.E.
Now as On My Way to Church celebrates its twentieth anniversary this month, Capo has linked again up with the activist as he prepares what seems to be a continuation within the sequence.
“I’ma give y’all something special might be the last album we get to hear like this in these digital times,” Jim mentioned on Instagram with a video alongside Chavis within the studio. “At The Church Steps @drbenchavisjr he’s been fighting for our people since Martin Luther king did the marches to show there’s power in unity.”
He continued: “I remember watchin the movie Belly and that speech he gave DMX moved me. it didn’t feel like they gave him that as a script, it felt like he was praying in front of the camera. and at that time in my life, I needed that prayer. didn’t matter that it was a movie. 20 years of preparation. it’s always bout the journey the destination is gone be there when u get there.”
In the background of the clip, Chavis’ At the Church Steps contribution was enjoying, which finds him blessing the LP on what seems to be the opening monitor.
Outside of music, Jim Jones just lately took problem with Lil Yachty’s feedback about New York vogue, and has put ahead a method to settle issues as soon as and for all: a drip-off.
In a video with District One NY that dropped earlier this month, the Dipset capo strongly disagreed with Yachty’s take, expressed on his A Safe Place podcast earlier in the summertime, that Atlanta is the true trendsetter on the subject of vogue and that the Big Apple has been biting ATL’s fashion.
“What Lil Yachty was talking about the other day? This n-gga smoking coke,” Jones started. “I love Lil Yachty, but you bumped your muthafuckin head, bro.”
Then Jones got here up along with his contest concept.
“Let’s go and do a shop-off,” he mentioned. “Let’s do some Harlem shit. You get a thousand, I get a thousand — let’s see who look better.
“We could do it in New York, we could do it in Atlanta. You get a stack, I get a stack, let’s see who come out flyer. And then we put it up on the ‘Gram for the people to judge.”
Yachty has not but responded to Jones’ shop-off suggestion.
