Jim Jones is keeping his foot on Pusha T and No Malice’s necks, throwing more jabs at the Clipse duo while discussing his brewing rivalry with the former with Joe Budden.
The Dipset rapper called into the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast to chew over his and Pusha’s recent lyrical exchange, which he said is “all fun and games” and “a true display of wordery.”

However, that didn’t stop him from unloading more clips at the brothers Thornton, branding Pusha T “a worker” and No Malice “a preacher who works at Walmart.”
“Who’s gonna spin the block for him? Is Pharrell gonna spin the block for him? Is Malice gonna say a prayer? Who’s gonna spin the block for him?” Capo asked. “I’m talking about musically, too. I ain’t talking about thug shit — we already know I can do that. Who he got that’s gon’ spin the block for him? Malice is a preacher who works at Walmart.”

Addressing Push directly, he added: “That n-gga’s a worker. He’s still not a boss. He still has to answer to everybody in his circle.”
Jones went on to clarify that their conflict is “a rap battle” not “rap beef,” adding: “This is about pure music and styling, and he don’t got it. You always wanted to be a New York n-gga; you from VA, the suburbs.”

The pair’s war of words ignited last week when Pusha T appeared to take aim at Jim Jones in an unreleased Clipse song debuted at Pharrell’s first Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week.
While he didn’t name names, the former G.O.O.D. Music President accused his foe of “chasing a feature out of your element” — seemingly referencing Jones’ love for his bitter rival Drake — while dropping more clues with references to repossession, reality TV and allegedly fake jewelry.

In response, the “We Fly High” hitmaker dismissed Pusha T’s bars as “not a Top 50 verse” before jacking his beat and firing back with “Summer Collection.”
“My Name Is My Name but they ain’t screaming that/ They talking about the Wrath of Caine but we ain’t seen it yet/ We got the switches on that bitches, your whole team get wet/ Let me chill ’cause I don’t wanna get my team upset,” he warned in his rebuttal.

“The only beef you know, n-gga, is Arby’s or the Big Mac/ We don’t drive through, we drive by in the car with the big MAC/ The last shit you dropped, that shit was garbage, take that shit back/ Plus you got your brother rappin’, what you tryna bring the Clipse back?/ Talk about your brother, what happened to that boy?/ He’s looking like they’ve been selling crack to that boy.”
Months earlier, Jim Jones made disparaging comments about Pusha T being ranked No. 29 on Billboard‘s Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list, claiming the Grammy-nominated lyricist doesn’t deserve such a plaudit.

“What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time besides talk about coke that he probably didn’t get himself?” Jones asked during an appearance on the Rap Caviar Podcast in April.
“He’s nice as shit. He could rap his ass off, but what has he done? Nobody has dressed like him. Nobody wants to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing … I don’t know too many n-ggas in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T.”

Capo went as far as to say that he’d “easily” put Big Sean and Cam’ron over King Push. “You go in these clubs, I don’t know no records they play in the club with Pusha T,” he added. “They don’t play his shit outside.”
