No, No, NO, NO, NO! Jim Jones, in an interview with Complex magazine, stated that T.I's swagger was fabricated and was not real. Jim Jones states,
Jim Jones: I don’t feel like he possesses any swag. Not like that. It’s fabricated. They’re watching other people, 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! When the *****es want to **** you and the *****s want be like you, who got the swag? *****s with money and fame always going to look like they doing something ’cause they got the camera in front of them. But the cool dudes always stick out no matter where they
at.
Stop this. Stop this right now. Jim Jones was part of the "No Homo" movement. Does anyone not remember this? Please do not forget this. This movement rocked Hip Hop to its core. Now, small sayings like, "Nigga you nice" or..."I love this dude's music" or "I am going to college" must be followed by "No homo's", Pauses, and rewinds. The rating of the swag thing though...it is a direct contradiction to what happened before.
Not only this, why are we rating a mans "swagger" anyway?
Some can say that maybe it is just trying to become like the rapper...so therefore it is not a homosexual thing. But in the homophobic, saturated, sub par Hip Hop we have now? It is.
Jeez.
O yea Jim...take a shower.
