I found this over at HipHopDX.After being introduced in the ‘90s as the original “Mr. Me Too” on Cam’ron’s “Horse and Carriage,” Jim Jones was eventually (some say self, some say by 50 Cent) promoted to leader of the Diplomats. Odd circumstances or not, Jimmy has handled the responsibility well enough and has kept the team going strong with Juelz Santana at his side. Jones’ albums up to this point have actually all been independent releases, but after “We Fly High” turned into a surprise hit, Jimmy went to Columbia/Sony to release his latest, Pray IV Reign.In short, there’s nothing here that’s got quite as much radio-appeal as “We Fly High”—except maybe “Pop Champagne,” which apparently belongs to Jim now (not Ron Browz) —but the fans that jumped on for that hit will probably feel more comfortable with this album than the one it actually appeared on. Jones’s subject matter was never exactly heavy lifting to begin with, but for Pray IV Reign, he has balanced a little more towards the party records than tough talk.That doesn’t mean the album is full of dancey tracks, but “How to Be a Boss” with Ludacris (stealing the show as usual) or “Precious” with Ryan Leslie aren’t as deliberately aggressive as some of Jones past work. “My My My” is on the darker side of stunt-rap, but it’s still suitable to nod your head to. “Na Na Na Na” is probably a little too silly but that’s not to say that someone won’t like it and, without naming names, it’s far from the dumbest thing you’ll hear on Hot 97 this week.On the other hand, Jimmy does still have the bad habit of sounding a bit like Jay-Z now and then. Despite the historically… unpleasant relationship that the two have had, Jones still has no problem making a track like “Medicine,” which sounds so much like “Jigga What, Jigga Who” that it can’t possibly be an accident. It was a good track 10 years ago and it’s still pretty decent now—plus it’s a less objectionable bite than whateve
