Jim Jones is notorious for cracking jokes, but when he reunited with his friend Angie Martinez, the conversation took on a whole other level. The Dipset legend has been around for decades and has acquired a level of success and respect that newbies aspire to.

The Dipset legend joked about being a “natural-born hater” and channeling that anger into success. “I’m a hater… I’mma natural-born hater,” Jones joked. “I hate and then I turn that hate into [motivation].” Jones and Angie had a lighthearted but amusing exchange in which the rapper demonstrated how he acts when he’s in full-on hate mode.

Khaled! Every time I see [DJ Khaled]… ‘Man, I’m tired of Khaled, man! Sh*t!’ ‘He’s not a model, but he’s modeling. How does he…?’ Like, I gotta get into my [bag], like for real.

Shout out to Khaled. One of the greatest hustlers in this industry.
