Jim Jones' ballin' knows no boundaries. He can spend at the dealership, spend at the strip clubs, and now he's putting his dough to even better use: getting his artists out of jail. Max B has been in prison for weeks now on murder charges, and not only is Jim going to pay the $2 million bail, but he's getting Max in the studio as soon as he gets out.
"We got a mixtape coming out called Out on Bail With a Story to Tell. Should be out soon," he explained last week on the phone from L.A., where the Dipset boss is filming his first movie. "[The movie is] called 'Thug Passion.' It's a little different role I'm playing. I'm playing a lover-boy type. It's a little hot and steamy. I'm having sex all over the place. It'll be a different look for the ladies. No guns involved, just my charm. Elise Neal is in the movie. She's the co-star with me.
"It's my first experience," he added of his debut. "I'm learning it. It's not the regular type of role they give young black men such as myself. They give us the gangster role, the drug-dealer role. That's why I took it: because it's a stretch."

After his movie, Jim says he's going on a major tour in the beginning of March and trying to shoot some videos on his off days.
"We got a tour coming up we put together — me, Juelz [Santana], Baby, Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy," Jones said. (Jeezy's rep said he has no knowledge of the Snowman hitting the stage with Cash Money and the Diplomats.) "It starts at the beginning of March. We got 30 dates. I'll probably shoot the video [for 'Weatherman'] in the midst of the tour since we'll all be together. We gonna knock the socks off the country. We're all street n---as, all hustlas. Everybody came from the bottom. Everybody sacrificed a little bit, and we came together. A compilation album is coming with the tour. A DVD is coming with it. We are poppin' — the people you listen to the most on your radio. We're gonna prove everybody wrong, show them hip-hop ain't dead."
In addition to "Weatherman," Jones plans to shoot clips for "Emotionless" and "So Harlem" soon as well. "The album ain't over yet. 'Ballin' ' ain't everything," he said of his smash hit "We Fly High" from 2006's Hustler's P.O.M.E. ...
