If that\u2019s how you feel, I ain\u2019t mad at you for feeling that way.

Me and Jim don\u2019t do the same things. I am a bar master. I am a lyrical technician. I been on joints with some of the best MCs in the world: Big, Hov, Black Thought, Talib\u2026 I bar sh\u2013 down. If there\u2019s a lyricist or MC, I\u2019m one of their f\u2014in\u2019 favorites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHe then continued by saying he\u2019s got love for Jim and respect for how he came up in the game, but at the same time feels a little disrespected by the comparison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019m not here to make catchy hooks. \u2026 I don\u2019t knock that,\u201d he explained. \u201cI\u2019m trying to say some sh\u2013 that\u2019s gonna make your soul move. That\u2019s what I\u2019m into. So when I say a verse, if it resonates with you, it\u2019s gonna be some sh\u2013 that you may catch 10 years later down the line, so me and Jim don\u2019t do the same things. I have the utmost respect for Jim, for how he built his career. I love Jim, that\u2019s like my bro, but I think to compare us is an unfair comparison.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stylesp?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">@stylesp<\/a> Puts end to Verzuz conversation with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jimjonescapo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">@jimjonescapo<\/a> ! <\/p>\n<p>How ya feel about this ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NFS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">#NFS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LOX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">#LOX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DIPSET?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">#DIPSET<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HARLEM?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">#HARLEM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/YONKERS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">#YONKERS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/THEGHOST?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">#THEGHOST<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CAPO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">#CAPO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6aCX9i5w0J\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/6aCX9i5w0J<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NO FUNNY SHIT (@NFS_SHOW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFS_SHOW\/status\/1922648305063919783?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">May 14, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIf you recall, both rappers\u2019 respective groups <a data-id=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rb-hip-hop\/lox-dipset-verzuz-recap-best-moments-9610037\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rb-hip-hop\/lox-dipset-verzuz-recap-best-moments-9610037\/\">battled<\/a> in one of the best Verzuz face-offs to date when <a data-id=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/the-lox\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/the-lox\/\">The LOX <\/a>dismantled <a data-id=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/the-diplomats\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/the-diplomats\/\">The Diplomats<\/a> at The Theater at Madison Square Garden back in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tYou can watch the full episode below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NFS: Styles P Talks Farmacy for Life, Aging in Rap, New Dispensary &amp; Potential Verzuz w\/ Jim Jones\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6OhjnrL-KzU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Styles P doesn\u2019t think he and Jim Jones are in the same category.
