In a recent interview, rapper Paul Wall, is talking new music, old music and speaks about the disappearing act of fellow H-Town flower Mike Jones. Who? Mike Jones. Wall told Ozone magazine of his ex-label mate,
“Ever since he left SwishaHouse I haven’t really kept track of him. I really didn’t know him too well before he came to SwishaHouse. I’d say he dug his own grave. He lied to a lot of people, he turned his back on a lot of people, and he burned a lot of bridges.”
Paul Wall continues on to say any misfortunes Mike Jones has had, he brought upon himself by not being a team player,
“He kinda wanted it to all be about him. If that’s how you want it, I’m not gonna be the one to beg you to stay around, especially since all my major success came not too long after the break up with me and Chamillionaire. I was in a mind frame where it was like, ‘If you don’t want to be here, I’m not gonna force you.’ If you don’t want to be on the SwishaHouse team together, I’m not gonna force you. I’ve gotta do me and focus on what’s best for me.
I would’ve loved for us to be a unit but he didn’t want that, so that was his choice. When he left SwishaHouse, he was dropping salt on everybody from SwishaHouse and not giving us any credit at all. He was talking down on a lot of us and he would never directly say our names, but he was still hating. There were times when I felt disrespected and I would call him out on it, and he’d be like, ‘Nah, I wasn’t talking about you. I would never do that.’
I’m sure there’s a psychological term for this problem that Mike Jones has. He has a problem. His perception of reality ain’t the real perception of reality.”
Mike Jones has been rarely seen in the spotlight since releasing his second studio album The Voice in 2009, followed by an incident where he was allegedly punched in the face in an altercation with fellow Houston rapper Trae The Truth.
