The West Coast legend allegedly kept asking for the Dipset icon to repeat his takes, much to the latter's frustration.

Jim Jones recently incited some potential bad blood between Dipset and Dr. Dre after saying he'll charge the star producer $2 million if he ever releases the songs they recorded together. Moreover, these revelations came from an interview with The Amazing AllHipHop podcast. While the Harlem MC recalled a "great night" in the studio with Dre, he went on to express some harbored feelings of frustration. "That was a great night in Hip Hop, a great night for the Diplomats,” the "We Fly High" hitmaker expressed. “I had a little studio on 28th street, and Dr. Dre was trying to recreate his new sound for his new album at the time, and we had that sound. Came to my studio, me and Cam did like four records in there. Juelz came and did a record at the end.

"We did about four or five records with Dr. Dre," Jim Jones continued. "I don’t know what he ever did with the records. Yeah, he did them directly to his hard drive so we had a copy of it to listen to and s**t like that. Truthfully, he better not put it out ’cause I’m charging $2 million for my verse.

Jim Jones Felt Punked By Dr. Dre

"It was the first time I ever had somebody really make me do my verse over like 20 times. The first time I got a piece of that, it had made me think about 2Pac and Snoop. All the others that had to get the beats from Dre. Dre was punking n***as like, ‘Man, go back in there and spit that s**t over, bro. You bugging the f**k out.’ Every time he told me, ‘Nah nah, do that over, man.’

"Like bro, you’re cursing at me," the Diplomat stated. "You don’t even know you’re cursing at me. You’re punking the s**t outta me right now. ’Cause n***as is looking at me like, ‘You’re telling Capo to do his s**t over? This is crazy.’ N***a, you f***ing it up for me." Regardless of those studio woes, we'll see if this manifests into a reconciliation and a release. For the latest on this story, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Dr. Dre and Jim Jones.
