Jim Jones: Jay-Z is “Knocking the Hustle, Ya Dig?”
Jay-Z has a way of making thing go away (See: throwback jerseys and Crystal) but I never thought he’d be accused knocking another man’s hustle. He called “Death to Autotune” but I always thought that trend was about up anyway and all Jay did was push it along a little faster. Jim Jones wasn’t happy about it. The former Dip Set Capo basically calls his long-time adversary a hater for doing it, and he wants him to stop.
“We’re getting money off of autotune, it’s just sounding like somebody’s trying to knock a hustle and I don’t think that’s a little bit gangster if you ask me,” Jones explained on 106 and Park. “We getting money. He’s knocking the hustle, ya dig? If these young men are making money off of autotune why would you try to stop that, when you got all the money already?”
Jones scored a recent hit with “Pop the Champagne”, which featured D-List auto-tuner Ron Brows.
Would I be considered a hater if I was some A-List type that called death to wack music? Would [insert name of wack music maker here] call me out and say I was knocking their hustle?
What do you think? Is Jay-Z keeping food out of the mouths of autotune hustlers or are they just crying foul because Jay said what everybody was already thinking?

« Previous 1 2 3I feel u. Jay-Z is just tryin to tell these young cats that all music aint good music and just because someone calls them self a rapper(jim jones) don’t mean they are one. Bring hip hop music back to life with originallity
all i gotta say is come with hot material auto tune hustle was tpain all the rest are like all other rappers running with somebody elses nitch copying get ya own style why u think people say everybody soundin the same n tha game it shouldnt be jones sayin he knockin the hustle it should be tpain sayin stop bitin my S**t nobody Could Do It Like Roger Tho
Jay-z is like a Major store and his competion Is alot of Minor stores (other artist wit less success) they are sale-n there product (auto-tunes) and cuttin into business of the Major store…what do you do? you kill the Lil stores Product and thus force them to change product or out of business…. http://www.myspace.com/criticalflatline2
Just think when we hit our 50’s and 60′ a child says after hearing auto tune, ” what *$#@!& was listening to?!” what would ya response be??? (after reachin ova to smack them for cursing)…I don’t know either?! smh!
it is our fault as the consumer people are making music that sound alike trying to get a quick buck, because nobody buys c.d.’s anymore, so they have to get there money any way they can, if your a actual musician, you know in order to get the best tracks and the best sound, you have to pay top dollars, and if your paying top dollar, and nobodys buying, you the artist are f**ked, producer fees, studio fees, record company, managers, and so on and so on have to get there cut, which by the time the artist gets his, he either has very little or nothing left because nobodys buying anything, so i think some artist are forced to go with the quick hit aka ring tone money, cause at least people buy them, so i think everybody complaining, if you want better music, then support the artist
Is just the classic conflict of people who respect the culure of hip hop and try to preserve it and the prostitues in the business who continue to try drag it down.
