Hell Rell Accuses Jim Jones Of Stealing Royalties In Lawsuit

Tuesday, September 08, 2009 6:00 PM | 89 comments
By Nolan Strong

The beef between former Dipset members Hell Rell and Jim Jones has landed in court in a new lawsuit against Jim Jones and a number of record labels.

 

Hell Rell, born Durell Mohammed, was a member of Cam’ron’s Diplomats crew, which at one point featured Cam, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Hell Rell, Max B and others.

 

The lawsuit, which was filed in New York County Court, claims that Jim Jones, Koch, Tycoon Entertainment Babygrande Records and E1 cheated him out of royalties.

 

Hell Rell signed with Koch/E1 in 2007 and released one album for the label, Hell Up in Harlem.

 

That album was followed with 2008's Black Mask, Black Gloves, which was released via the mom & pop label, Babygrande Records.

 

Hell Rell recently expressed his grievances with his former group members, claiming that Jim Jones and Juelz Santana ruined The Diplomats.

 

Santana has defended himself and Jones against any wrong doing, claiming Hell Rell needed a Diplomat reunion for financial reasons.

 

Hell Rell recently inked a deal with Money Maker Entertainment/EMI to release his third official album, Live From Hell.

 

Live From Hell is due in stores October 6.

THIS n***a IS THE MOST REPTIBLE OF ALL THESE WANNA B BLOODS OUT THERE IN NEW YORK. AS FAR AS HIS RAP SKILLS ARE CONCERNED NAAAWW. THIS IS THE CASE WHEN A n***a JUST NEED TO BE IN A GROUP AND CONCENTRATE ON THAT 16 INSTEAD OF PUTTING A WHOLE SONG TOGETHER. I DOUBT ANY OF THESE n***as WANT TO SEE HIM IN THE STREETS SO HE'S GOING ABOUT IT THE RIGHT WAY VIA COURT SYSTEM. BUT LIKE DUDE ABOVE SAID, WHAT ROYALTIES ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I believe Juelz...Thats just him wanting a reunion album. Rell isn't marketable like Juelz and Jimmy. He don't feed to those certain audiences that really buy records. To be frank, Rell is just to damn gangster. Thats the whole problem. No party records, just shootem up bang bang, dope, etc etc...Thats why he hungry for a reunion...And if I'm not mistaken I heard him on a interview talking bout he don't take s**ttoo the court systems he will handling it in the streets.. Hmm

Damn Jr.mack stop taking up all the post. Hell Rell is a average rapper to me. I think he better than Jim Jones though, Jones can't flow at all and i heard Max B used to write a lot of Jim Jones shit. Hell Rell was part of the dipset, so that means he is obligated to the royalties that they get as a group.

INDO is 100% right, what f**kin' royalties? This n***a ain't sold candy to a baby and he's talkin' royalties, whatever royalties he ever was entitled to went back to the label to cover his budget costs for puttin' out them wall decorations he calls slept on albums. Ruegar Rell was done before he ever got started, rap just ain't for him, give it up.

I feel Allhiphop isn't explaining the whole story. Rell was a ghostwriter in dipset along with 40 & Jr Writer. 2 B frank, you don't need to sell alot of records with Kosh and baby, their deals B like 70/30 in their favor, a disc that cost 8.99, they getting a lincoln off it. Trust he missing paper cause they on paper under diplomat records, their deals are negotiated under their umbrella.  Rell might b hurting but he ain't broke, those videos and studio ain't cheap. they write their ryhmes at the lab 2, that s**tcost money. I never felt Dip like that but I listen 2 how they talk about business and it make sense cus how Jim did biggavell ( praying on him in his most vulnerable moment), thats right up his alley.

crazy how all these n***as be talking about how we family and s**tand be fucking they man's and shit. Puff fucking BIG, The Lox, prolly Ma$e, etc. Baby and Slim fucking everybody on Cash Money, Suge fucking everybody on Death Row, Easy and Jew-Jerry fucking everybody on Ruthless records, and the list goes on.

Rell and Cam'ron were the best rappers in Dipset.  That song "War" off of Killa Season was that shit.  Not to mention "Get 'Em Daddy"  Rell was that n***a.  

You guys are right, he can't stand alone, he was like the Dipset's version the Broad Street Bully.  He's a goon.  When he came on I wanted to envision murder, rape, killing, drugs, shells flying, crying moms, etc.  That was his place, and he played it well.  I loved that shit!!!

Sitting here in my office managing clinical trials for a pharamceutical company, sometimes, I would turn that s**twith my ear phones on and just look at my director thinking... "I wanna see these n***as die die make they moms feel hella pain"... "Mr. Ruga Ruga I'm a shooter's shooter (baowww), you hung with the girls, you double dutch and hoola hooper (f***ot), hop skippin' and jumpin', block clickin and jumpin, glock clickin and dumpin..."
