Question about Andre Nickatina's "Jim Jones" nickname

[dimos06]

I was listening to the song "Killa Whale" by Dre Dog/Andre Nickatina and as he started his first verse saying "It's the J to the I to the M to the J-O-N-E-S" I was wondering about this name (also used by the guy from DipSet). Did he choose this name because of the guru of the People's Temple sect?

So... That's the guy I was talking about? I guess so for Jim Jones from The Diplomats because his album is entitled 'On My Way To Church'...
