Jim Jones sat down for Q&A with Rhapsody recently:

Now that you and Cam aren’t really on good terms, is there regret on your part that you went to bat for Cam and got into a beef with Nas?
Nah. F*ck Nas. I don’t give a f*ck about Nas. He’s a rapper that just lost his pizazz. When I was in high school, he was the sh*t. He was the n*gg* that got us hype. “New York State Of Mind,” Illmatic, and all of that.

Is there any possibility of a reconciliation?
What kind of reconciliation? I was never cool with him. I seen Nas a few months ago in L.A with Dame. We was staying in this hotel right above the Ferrari Dealership. Dame seen him and was talking to him. I was laying back on a couch laughing. He didn’t know what to do. I was looking dead at him. [Laughs]. And then Dame was like, “You know Jim?” He started [stammering], “Ah? Ah?” Dame is just burnt out. He not thinking about none of that frivolous [beef] sh*t. Me neither for the most part. Nas was never on my level ever. Ever.

Jim Jones punked Nas? doubt it..

Earlier this year it was reported that the joint venture between 50 Cent and Mark Ecko for G-Unit Clothing was shut down. Well according to Dr.Jay’s Blog, 50 Cent and Ecko Unlimited are re-launching the G-Unit Clothing line.

We can now reveal the two successful fashion companies have decided to re-join forces, and a new-look G Unit line will launch with a Spring 2009 collection.

According to a promotional package presented to potential buyers, the end of this year is a big one for 50 Cent, and the revamped G Unit Clothing brand will tie in heavily with his numerous ventures.

“Concentrated around Black Friday, November 28, 2008, we will see a new album, films, tour, book, video game and the launch of additional lifestyle products,” the package states.

I guess that means “Before I Self Destruct” coming out in November?

Update: BISD is scheduled to be released in December.
