Jim Jones shuts down the idea of a rap battle with 50 Cent, saying, “I Don’t Wanna Do Nothing With That Sucka!”
Jim Jones, a well known rapper from Harlem, has made it clear that he has no interest in engaging in a rap battle with 50 Cent. In an open discussion on The Breakfast Club, a popular radio show, Jones expressed his strong feelings about not wanting to compete lyrically with the famous rapper. During the interview, Jones also talked about different topics, including his complicated friendship with Cam’ron and his views on the competitive nature of rap in New York.
He reflected on the 2021 Verzuz battle between his group, Dipset, and The Lox, admitting that their lack of preparation contributed to a disappointing performance, especially when Cam’ron forgot some of his lyrics, which led to boos from the audience. The conversation took an interesting turn when DJ Envy proposed the idea of a rap battle between Jim Jones and 50 Cent. Without missing a beat, Jones firmly rejected the suggestion. He stated, “I don’t wanna do nothing with that sucka! Leave him out of the conversation. Don’t start.” This statement adds another chapter to the ongoing tension between Jones and 50 Cent.
While 50 hasn’t responded yet, he will likely react sooner or later. Over the years, the two have exchanged insults through interviews, social media, and music. In the competitive world of New York hip-hop, Jones believes he ranks among the best. He confidently claimed that not many other rappers from the city could outshine him when it comes to lyrics. Jim Jones is staying away from any talk of battling 50 Cent, clearly shutting down the idea of giving him any spotlight.

BluntBrad Jr. finds calm ambition in the laid-back shine of “It’s All Good”
BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest. The song is laid-back and offers up the shine of a studio recording for the feeling of a candid introduction, a musical “hello” from someone who wants to be heard for who they are.
“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.
The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.
