Complex’s December/January issue with Capo on the cover hits
newsstands today, and they just posted some choice outtakes that didn’t
make the print version of the story. Here’s Jonesy on Dame’s push to
turn him into the next Jay-Z.

Complex: This year, it seems like Dame has been really focused on
trying to make you a star. Some people have compared his drive to the
way he pushed Jay-Z at the beginning. How do you respond to that (?)

Jim Jones: Shit, that’s a great comparison. If you look at it, Dame did
alright for Jay-Z. That old nigga has cake, he’s paid. So how bad can
that be? Dame made history, he started Roc-A-Fella records, and I’ve
seen it. I watched the first Roc-A-Fella fitted he had on his head that
he made from a 3rd Avenue store when it was just stitched on and shit.
He’s a historical person, he’s done it and he’s done it well. He not
only did it with Jay, but he did it with Kanye; he set a precedent for
niggas that want to become something in this game, who come from the
street and want to make a lot of money. Dame is a beast—when I was
younger, I always admired his hustle. I can do more. I don’t need to
use rap as a crutch for the rest of my life. I can rap and I can do the
business, I can model and do the business, I can own a production team.
It’s a big difference over here, [Jay-Z] can’t do that. He’s not that
savvy, not that fly, I don’t think he’s that handsome. All he has is a
gorgeous flow—my momma raised a gorgeous child.

Those last two sentences are golden. He also makes some greasy sounding
comments about Jadakiss signing to The Roc. Check the outtakes below....
