Beefing is Dead! No Beef between Fat Joe & JayZ & T.I. Laughs Off Jim Jones' Diss

“Gangsta, Gangsta, how you wanna do this? I clap n—as down for yappin’ all foolish, ain’t no stopping this Roc-a-fella movement. The name is Jay Guevera, homie, who are you? and, if your off-beat DJ, anything he play sound familiar? I’ll wait ’til Pharell say, “Play ‘em.”
Now I’mma have to diss you, Joe. You can get a smack for that, matter fact, the gats will blow….your toy squad will get squashed, Boy–yard dee, you’re lost in the sauce partly because your boss ain’t a leader. He’s a follower. No, I’m not coppin’ ya album or your single, most likely you’ll go copper…”
The track had everyone questioning what could've provoked Jay Z's verse? Jay Z and Fat Joe had some heated rivalry back in the days. The beef resulted in a few records going back and forth and someone getting a champagne bottle busted over their head at a NY club, but that was years ago and it seemed like their beef, although never squashed, was over. So what could have provoked this from Hov who hasn't been responding to brazen taunts from Game, Jim Jones and others and he just did an interview with DJ Khaled on the radio, so why would he go at the DJ now?
DJ Khaled also addressed the verse:“So for some reason people think this “new” Jay/Uncle Murda thing is a Fat Joe Khaled dis. It’s not. It’s also like 8000 years old and somehow dude got his hands on it and put a verse on it. Now that I recall, it’s Blueprint 2 era..I was going to use this verse for the S.Carter Remix CD but we couldn’t get the Pro Tools in time. Don’t fall for the okeydoke.”
“I heard about it, and what’s so crazy is that, I was told it’s a five year old verse and that it wasn’t real…Jay-Z is a great friend of mine and I plan to work with him in the future; musically and entrepreneur style, too.”
Fat Joe’s statement on the resurfaced Jay-Z verse:
“I have no beef whatsoever with Jay-Z. In fact, we share a common goal…helping to get Barack Obama elected on Nov. 4th.”
Jay Z talks about the verse to UK's Tim Westwood
"That's an old freestyle that I did six, seven years ago. DJ Khaled wasn't even in the picture so unless I'm clairvoyant, which I can be sometimes, you know DJ Khaled wasn't even, you know, I'm not saying that he wasn't doing his thing, but I don't think, well I didn't know who he was at the time... So that wasn't about nothing it's all cool, actually J (then he stopped himself before saying Joe) Khaled and them were suppose to come on, get on the stage with me in Miami for Obama and the whole thing, so it's no problem there... so it's all good. Like I said it's an old freestyle."

"Swagger Like Us" has spawned countless freestyles from other rappers who felt the should've been included in the classic track. But one person who seems to have really taken offense is Jim Jones.
In a recent interview with Complex magazines the Dipset capo said:
“I think it was deliberate. I really do think it was deliberate; maybe in my sick twisted mind I’m a little crazy. People know who set the precedent as far as fashion in this industry and people know who damn near changed the world as far as fashion. You look at people; they went from the urban world of clothing, back when Rocawear and Sean John was cool. And then in the past 5 years I stepped in and gave them a taste of what rock and roll looks like from my side. I guess people would say from an urban side, and it seemed to catch on like wildfire, to the point that people was going to stores and asking for that 'Jim Jones look'.
Jones speaks about recording his own version of "Swagger Like Us":
"Me and Juelz had Chink do our own beat, I have Weezy’s verse in my inbox right now and we kept the hook of that song because it was a sample. So we’re going to put that as a bonus track on the album, and put it to the streets. “No one on the corner got swag like you, we don’t Rocawear, that’s for fags like you.” [Laughs.]
Jim Jones disses T.I. claiming he has no swag:
"I don’t feel like he possesses any swag. Not like that. It’s fabricated. They’re watching other people, then they try and do it. You know people that dress like T.I.? You know people that go out and say 'let me get a T.I. outfit' or do you know people who say 'yo, you’re looking like Jim Jones?' Which one? Let me hear it! When the bitches want to fuck you and the niggas want be like you, who got the swag? Niggas with money and fame always going to look like they doing something cause they got the camera in front of them. But the cool dudes always stick out no matter where they at."
T.I.'s response to Jim Jones' diss
Recently in an interview with dj and radio personality Clinton Sparks, He asked T.I. about Jones' comments and he laughed it off and said, “Well you know what, that's very funny that either one of you should mention that because my clothing line Akoo will be in stores in November and I believe there will be quite a few people going out to get it. So hopefully, I can step my swag up a little bit. Maybe I can meet his standards. I ain't trippin' over that, man.”
