4:46Now PlayingVladTV correspondent Jenny Boom Boom sat down with Harlem's own Jim Jones and got his take on the state of the NYC HipHop scene and the common perception that Southern and West Coast rap has taken over, leaving NYC rap essentially dead.
Jones doesn't agree with this assessment, saying the NYC is where you come if you want to get a deal, and that no matter where you're from, the checks get cut in New York. One thing he will admit, however, is that NYC artists are hesitant to collaborate with one another, as where artists from other regions help each other by collaborating and bigging each other up, which definitely works in their favor.
Jones briefly shares his thoughts on Bobby Shmurda, saying that he likes the "Hot Ni**a" track and dance and may be open to collaborating with the young Brooklyn rapper depending on his musical output in the future.
