Jim Jones Speaks on The Biggest Misconception About Reality TV

It seems every rapper is doing a reality TV show now, but Jim Jones was definitely one of the first rappers to get into that line of getting extra income. In a recent interview, Jones spoke on the biggest misconception about Reality TV.

"The biggest misconception used to be that it was the wrong thing to do and for people who were washed up in other careers to try to reinvent themselves in other careers. Well, yeah, every year I try to reinvent myself, and I've reinvented myself so much that every person's trying to do reality TV right now. Reality TV accounts for over 60% of all television, so I got to be doing something right out here." (HHDX)











Well, what can I say? If rappers have found a new way to make money from their celebrity status, then it's all good. But, you got to say it removes the mystique that usually surrounded most celebrities in the past. I would not like to hear that someone like Nas is trying to do his own reality show...that would really hurt this legacy in a way. Mystique has a lot of power, and Nas as a lot of mystique as an individual.
