Jim Jones Says I'm On The Splashin Sde Kanye’s More On The Fashion Side

Jim Jones and Kanye West go way back thanks to their association with Roc-A-Fella Records in the early to mid 2000s. Both were influential figures in Hip Hop in their own right, especially when it comes to fashion, although their respective careers have taken different paths since then. Kanye went onto grow his Yeezy brand into a billion dollar sneaker and clothing coompany while Jimmy’s Vampire Life Clothing company has enjoyed success among a smaller demographic. The Dipset capo though, his status as a fashion trendsetter is on par with that of Mr. West. “It’s a big difference between splashin’ and fashion,” he said during a recent visit to Hot 97. “I’m on the splashin’ side, that’s what I do; I drip. Kanye’s more on the fashion side. I might not wear 90 percent of the shit that Kanye wears because it’s fashion, I don’t understand that. “He might not get into 90 percent of the things I do, but we both complement each other for what we set. The trends that we did set moving forward and what we did for fashion was like an equal thing. But he done took it to a whole ‘nother level ’cause he figured out how to monetize it and make billions of dollars off the shit,” he added. “I look at him as a evil genius. A lot of times, I make fun of Kanye, but I’m just a little bit pissed off at myself that I’m not as dope as he is.
