Video: Jim Jones speaks on The Ghost of Rich Porter mixtape
Posted by Mikey Fresh under Videos[30] Comments
Mikey: On Jan. 19th, Jim Jones is set to finally release The Ghost of Rich Porter mixtape. The project was inspired entirely by the former Harlem drug kingpin who was also portrayed in the ’02 film, Paid in Full. Just last month, Jones explained to Complex Magazine’s Joe La Puma why he chose to record an entire mixtape named after Porter,“When it comes to Rich Porter, he was a very instrumental person from Harlem as far as the days of hustling. He set the precedent for my generation coming up. Watching the hustlers, the fast cars, pretty girls, and the fast money and things like that. And the story that goes behind it as far as the love and the betrayaThis is Harlem history.” – Jim Jones
Now with the project dropping in just 8 days, Jones goes further into detail on the symbolism of Rich Porter and the different aspects of the project.

Does anybody in the game give ‘higher’ interviews? I think not.

I didn’t even know he had a project out. Does that mean the major label budget is running out?

Idk is it just me or does Jim Jones talk about the same thing over and over again? I get thats how he grew up but the whole hustle talk is getting extremely redundant

What a Cornball…wasnt he the one making fun of Hov calling him old and all that. Jim Jones is like damn near 40…Jim Jones aka “Im not Original”.

Thats wsup, the internet always hate Jimmy but the streets got love for dude no homo.
Jimmy’s album Pray IV Reign was a better album than Killa the Don’s album.
Jimmy’s mixtape Ghost of Ritchie Porter will be more entertaining than Cam’ron’s mixtape that continues to get pushed back, i’m done waiting. Boss of all bosses was wack yo.
Rapradar Voted Crime Pays most DISSAPOINTING ALBUM of 2009.
Jim Jones came in at 2nd. LOL! Jimmy sales is still impressive considering he came from beinga hypeman to moving major units independently.
Clap 4 him. LOL!

Can we get a hero / inspiration / a role model who isnt a former hustler/drug dealer? This is sooo lame. If you disagree you probably didnt graduate high school, have a GED on your wall from a “institute”, were born after 1988, or a combination of the above.

If I had a dollar for every time a mixtape, album, music video, party, so on and so on was like a movie…LOL… Nigga your movies aren’t even like movies LOL so please just stop. It feels like we’re finally on the brink of bringing back some artistic integrity, and actual creativity back to this hip-hop music thing can we please fall back from the over done cliches of the past. It’s been done Jimmy I hate to always be quoting Hov but this time it’s very fitting “on to the next one” please!

these dudes need to either get back to together “dipset” or just introduce some new acts….. Cause they looking bad and the dipset brand is getting tarnished.
but you know what I know some dipset groupie is gonna feel some way about what I said but its tru…..
No hate just been seeing them destroy their own brand……
Man yall need to re-group one more year of this will damish yall history in the game….. Don’t let that happen…..
January 11th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
CO-SIGN!!!!!!!!!!! Being a gangster isnt cool anymore, especially when your in your mid 30s lol. Oh, and neither is saying “no homo”….what is that about anyways?
January 11th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Yo if you over 18 and still need a role model, YOU ARE LAME!!!!!!
January 11th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I fucks with both Jim Jones and Cam’ron, but if you look at the records sale Cam has sold more then Jim and Jim’s on a major label.
January 11th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Watch that background track be the hardest cut on the album. The rest will be doo doo hooks as he tries to shove his new artists down our throats.
*eyeballs NOE*

Being that Jay-Z already called himself the “twin brother of Rich Porter” on “There’s been a Murder” it’s only right Jimmie would copy his real idol..
January 11th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
Now that’s funny!!

I wonder if 20 years from now there will be massive lawsuits concerning the promotion of drug culture in music and it’s adverse effect on a generation of young people. The parallel between how cigarettes were marketed to the masses in the early 20th centrury through the popular culture media of that time and the multi billion dollar promotion of the drug game is alarming. I know, I know it’s just music. But is it really? The parent company the record label and all involved should be just a liable as the cigarette companies were proven to be. Think about it- cigarette companies were found guilty of marketing a harmful and addictive product as harmless. Record companies mask the promotion of drug consumption and distribution and the lifestyle that acompanies it as harmless music.
So
Charge: Crimes against humanity, 2nd degree murder, endangering the welfare of a minor, false advertising…
Defendent: ya favorite rapper, his label, the parent company, shareholders, and the consumer

I heard that. But think about who is in charge of the record companies. Then think about the fact that rappers are alowed to talk about as much drugs and crime as they want, but at the same time they will be basically hunted down and arrested for the same thing. Not that most rappers make it any easier on themselves. But its interesting that the tobacco companies were found to be liable but cigarettes are still being sold and are still legal. So even if the the record lables were found to be liable, nothing would change. It’s all about that $. And a little icing on the cake for them is the fact that it keeps us pretty much at a low level of looking at things, and they can keep locking us up. Don’t look to the government or anybody like that to change it. If people stop buying “drug music” they will stop selling it. Believe that

Richie? This ain’t Happy Days..
January 12th, 2010 at 9:45 am
Pray IV Reign was garbage… Crime pays is not Killa’s best work but it was still better than Jim’s first album on a major…
Jim’s never going to have the same kind of buzz he had around him when ballin’ dropped… he wasted his buzz and now has returned to being irrelevant.
I feel bad for Jim he looking like he had something going there back when he had Max and stacks…
January 12th, 2010 at 9:46 am
Thats a helluva argument. Good point.
January 12th, 2010 at 10:30 am
