This might be the first intelligent thing that Jim Jones has said in a long time. It’s good to know I’m not taking crazy pills here and am not the only person who thinks the Air Yeezys are hideous. Via: RR

Jim Jones does deserve the credit for taking hip-hop to Broadway with his stage play Hip-Hop Monologues: Inside the Life and Mind of Jim Jones (view video clips), rather than own up to the fact he might like stage plays, Jones is instead just saying he is doing it as a potential revenue stream and hopes other rappers follow in his footsteps. Jim Jones recently told the Associated Press:

“Even though when I get on camera you think that (I’m) a crafty individual, but I’m all about the money and whatever it takes for me to get that money, I’m going to master that. I should hope I’ve created a new lane for rappers who are woody enough to complete a task like this to go into a whole other form of revenue.“

If there is money to be made then we should expect a Danity Kayne Broadway production produced by Diddy anytime soon. Followed by a Pimpin Curly musical with 50 Cent.

Jim Jones x Louis Vuitton. I’m pretty sure Jim Jones’ new recording studio that is completley decked out in Louis Vuitton print is not officially endorsed by LV corporate. In fact it looks more like a bunch of Boy Scouts put the studio together for an Eagle Scout project. Check the video and you will see what I’m talking about.

There have been a couple of sneak peak videos floating around for the upcoming Jim Jones documentary This Is Jim Jones. Well here is another one courtesy of King Magazine. It goes pretty deep into what we can expect for the documentary that has been in the works for some time now. Via: SmartenUpNas

Jim Jones x Nostic Apparel. Remember a couple years back when Jim Jones launched his clothing line called Nostic? The entire collection was based on the then popular design of skulls, crossbones and the whole goth rocker/rap look. But now, Jim Jones is back in the lime light with Dame Dash by his side. He has a new track hitting the net with Snoop, he’s on the covers of magazines again..but his clothing line is noticeably absent.

WoooHa did a little digging and even though Mr. Jones was still pushing Nostic during the beginning of 2008, a majority of the stores that initially sold the clothing line during the initial launch no longer carry the collection. In fact, the entire official Nostic clothing line website has been taken off the net. The site is actually owned by Mama Jones (Jim’s mother) who was helping Jim launch the clothing line. Word is that just like Jim Jones’ career, he is getting ready for a relaunch of Nostic as well.

Yeti says: A relaunch and redesign of Nostic would actually be a good thing. The whole goth/skulls look is dead now and even Jim is not wearing his own clothing line these days. Word to the wise though, t-shirts for $58 are not going to fly anymore in this economy though. Be on the lookout for more news on the relaunch of Nostic.

This is either really genius or just straight up loco. Regardless, you gotta give Jimmy some props for thinking outside the box and willing to try something new. Now if only 2 Live Crew would re-enact their first album into a musical.
