El Capo.

Pitchfork has a documentary all about Jim Jones and his career from family to right now, poppin champagne and eatin byrd food. It's really good to have a major contributor of contemporary hip hop have his story told. I never quite understood where Diplomats came from and how they blew up so quickly, not on talent alone of course. Jim Jones has quite the story, apparently having been involved with Big L during his time with Children of the Corn, a group made of L, Camron, Mase, and Bloodshed. Growing up alongside Damon Dash, the two of the struck their claim in the hip hop industry and , aligning themselves with Jay-Z, RIck Ruben, and other hood rich zillionaires. I'm all about Jim Jones now, I always was, always. I like him better than Cam'ron to begin with, less flashy, sort of, better production. I don't know, I don't really know anything about hip hop nowadays except for what I like and what I don't like, mostly whatever I hear on the radio. I like Jim Jones and his crew, especially the Euro members of Byrd Gang, check that out too. Watch this, Jim Jones is pretty incredible, and very successful, and him and his friends smoke a ton of weed. Blunt rolling documentary more like it. The rest of the chpaters (all 11) can be viewed on Pitchfork's site.
