WHO CARES.... NEW ARGUMENT OVER SWAG
Posted October 7, 2008- Jim Jones wants his swagger back and he wants it now. In a recent interview with Complex Magazine, Jones openly stated his displeasure about the paricipants on T.I.’s, "Swagger Like Us" track, a song deriving from T.I.’s fifth solo lp, Paper Trail. With the exception of Lil Wayne, the Dipset head honcho explained none of the participants possessed any swagger and particularly took aim at T.I.. Jones told the magazine, “I don’t feel like he possesses any swag. Not like that. It’s fabricated. They’re watching other people, and then they try and do it. You know people that dress like T.I.? You know people that go out and say let me get a T.I. outfit or do you know people who say “yo, you’re looking like Jim Jones?” Which one? Lemme hear it!”
Of course, word trickled through the industry grapevine and eventually landed in the lap of the southern king. On the set for his new video, “Live Your Life” featuring Rihanna, radio personality, Clinton Sparks, caught up with T.I., who was unaware of the swagger turmoil, and asked his thoughts on Jimmy’s boisterous opinion.” Well you know what, it’s funny that either one of you should mention that because my clothing line, Akoo will be hitting stores in November and there will be quite a few people looking for it,” said T.I. with a devilish smirk.
Obviously undaunted by the Jimmy’s attempt to bait a competitive response from him, T.I. continued, “I ain’t tripping on that; it’s just talk and entertainment to me. Sparks then posed the question if TI ran into Jones in public, what would happen between the two and again, T.I. brushed off any speculation of any type of confrontation explaining, “As far as I know, I have no reason to perpetuate any negativity; that’s negative, you know what I’m saying? To me, that’s what people do when they want attention; to me, that’s just my personal opinion from the outside looking in. I haven’t scratched the surface to se what really lies beneath, as far as entertainment is concerned.”
T.I.’s, Paper Trail, which hit shelves September 30, landed at #1 on the Billboard 200 album
