Every artist got jerked.
Every artist who decided to become executives jerked other artists.
Artists are still getting jerked today.
It’s time to stop talking about it and do something about it.

I don't know how true this is, but Jada does love the young guys
Jerked off is hard to define.
But obviously, there should be like some type of certified/qualified lawyer representing the artist at every contract negotiation. And young people should have some type of standardized contracts, specially as regards length of contract.
But also, a lot of people have a business where they sign many artists and most of them you lose money on. But then you find 1-2 that make up for those losing artists.
Or in other cases where you have a producer/exec who has the concepts, beats, the whole marketing plan etc. And just asks different people to come audition, few people will say no to 200k. Even if that shyt later turns out to yield 10m. Cause in such a case it’s 0 or 200k.
In such a business without guaranteed income, no structure like a league or tv contracts etc. It’s a really difficult problem. I think limiting length of young people to like 5 years would be the easiest and most fair change to make. But someone powerful gotta lobby lawmakers, and such power is the labels themselves. But I also think the Academy could do something, they are however severely corrupted by the labels since all their people are connected to them.

I agree 100%. Lately these podcasts been popping up from ATL cats throwing dirt on JD's name and taking shots. Some of them acting like he aint really from ATL b/c he wasn't on the street shyt and some were even shytting on his music (IE Welcome To Atlanta convo). Now they saying he took advantage of Kriss Kross when he wrote and produced everything but they all still came out millionaires at a young age. People blaming him for Chris Kelly's drug issue is just wild. He OD'd at 34 and people acting like JD gave him the drugs or somehow put him on them is even more crazy.
Basically. Brag on that, it comes with scrutiny.
He WROTE and PRODUCED it! 
He was basically KrissKross. He deserved all the money and owed them performance fees.
Even at 14 I would have wrote my own lyrics fukk rapping somebody else shyt.

To my understanding, Dupri was lying and bragging in that first interview
But since it backfired, he came out with the more modest truth
Stop bragginf and trying impress people. it may cause you trouble

Nah fam
You can't throw these serious accusations like that
I agree with you that something was done to Chris Kelly, but whe have no proof that JD was involved
Chris became a super celebrity mega young, you end up in bad circles being in the industry that young
The human element always gets removed from thesediscussions. The subjects aren't even handled like full ass people they are just hollow vessels of entertainment
From anonymous accounts with pictures of others people here argue about all kinds shyt half the time they know nothing about. People feel a way about their post getting negged but Jd can't reapond to his likeness being attacked in regards to some CHILDREN?
I agree that he playing himself by even taking this seriously, but I still get it. This isn't "username 1234" in this public crucible, its a person
