Sharpe claps back suggests Jim compete with Drake and Kendrick instead. Hip-hop is heating up, and Jim Jones is not backing down.
In a fiery new interview, Dipset’s own Jim Jones boldly declared he’s better than rap icon Nas, challenging the Queensbridge legend to settle it where it counts… in the booth. Jones didn’t stop there. He doubled down, claiming Nas always played second fiddle to heavyweights like Jay-Z and DMX during their prime.
“If Nas got a problem with it,” Jim said, “he knows what to do… get in that booth.”
Things got even spicier when NFL Hall of Famer and podcast host Shannon Sharpe pushed back during the interview. Sharpe questioned Jones’ perspective, arguing that Nas’s lyrical legacy still stands tall… and maybe Jim should focus on measuring himself against today’s top-tier emcees, like Drake and Kendrick Lamar, instead of rewriting history.
The debate quickly lit up social media, with fans split down the middle. Some praised Jim for his confidence, while others called his comments blasphemous.
