Dipset rapper Jim Jones says Mase taught him his rap skills.
“The music didn’t start for me until later on in the 2000s after Cam and them figured it out,” he said on the All the Smoke podcast.
“Mase taught me how to rap and Cam always made sure I was on every single album he had. He was like, ‘Boy, once you figure out how to rap the same way you act in these streets, it’s going to work for you, just keep going.’ So I always gotta give credit where credit is due.”
He continued: “Wouldn’t be no Jim Jones if it wasn’t for them guys, and I ended up catching on. I was doing everything — directing, security, engineering, but they was coming every night, $30-40,000 off that show money. I was like ‘Nah, I gotta figure this out. I gotta really get into this rap mode.’ And that’s what really propelled me, seeing all the success that they was having.”
Capo is grateful for Mase and Cam introducing him to the rap game.
