\n\tJim Jones<\/a> had a lot to say during his recent interview with The Breakfast Club<\/a><\/em> while promoting his latest album At the Church Steps<\/em>, but the most notable topic he talked about was about his gang affiliations.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile talking about his connection to the infamous 6ix9ine case<\/a>, Charlamagne tha God asked him why he doesn\u2019t run from his affiliation with the Bloods to which Jones compared being a member of a gang to being a member of a fraternity. \u201cIt\u2019s not a crime to be a Blood,\u201d quipped. \u201cIt\u2019s not a crime to be a banger. It\u2019s not a crime to be a fraternity member. It\u2019s not a crime to be a sorority member. It\u2019s all the same thing. It\u2019s a crime if you do crime while being that and that turns into other things. If it\u2019s more than one of y\u2019all doing crime while being Blood, that turns into a RICO and things like that. I do business. I\u2019m a businessman, you heard? Always music, baby!\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tDJ Envy then asked him if he regretted commercializing being a gang member and to Jones\u2019 credit, he didn\u2019t shy away from the question and owned up to it. \u201cYeah, I made it cool, but I also commercialized it,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI made millions of dollars off the gang culture. Same thing with [what] Snoop<\/a> has done and the West Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAdding, \u201cDo I regret anything? No, I don\u2019t. Because I\u2019ve done so many positive things being in this position as being a man, as being a gang member, as being a father, as being all these things, you dig? If I didn\u2019t have this platform, people would never know how great some of these people can be, because I\u2019ve put on a lot of people and put them in positions to feed their family.\u201d<\/p>\n
