you guys need to :stop: with the DAME DASH and JERMAINE DUPRI comparisons....

they are TWO DIFFERENT ANIMALS...

one thing i can say about Dash is that he came in the game as a BOSS!!

that was his total intention from the jump and didn't take shyt from the TALL ISREALI MEN like LYOR COHEN whom were trying to handle him like some field nicca , and do sheisty shyt like trying to get him to sell his masters, as well as cause division between him and Jay.

Dupri on the other hand...didn't have the balls to tell Tommy Mottala LOOK MOFO give me executive producer credits and respect my brand!! (so so def)

Hell he did so much "leg work" (slave labor) for Tommy and countless other moguls , but never had the balls to just really just boss up...

that's why his name NEVER COMES UP in the discussion of black moguls coming together to form a distribution network (jay-z, diddy, birdman, irv gotti, j prince, suge)......all these cats along with Dash have owned masters and now what it means to secure a JOINT VENTURE distribution deal.

JD is NO dash.........and although Dash has many shortcomings himself , you can NEVER say he wasn't an OWNER at least one time in his life.

Had Dash been Running So So Def, many of these atlanta rappers wouldn't be freelancing in the manner that they do.


I still don't understand it...You based in Atlanta, been apart of what made Atlanta hot... yet you can't seem to grab up any of these Atlanta cats?

i understand the nature of southern rap,and the hustle... but with all these rappers that have come out of Atlanta in the last 10 years, he's only been able to snatch up Bonecrusher,YoungBloodz and Dem Franchize Boys? :what:


I've always seen the main difference between Dame and JD is that Dame is the dude who's always looking to acquire more shyt... while JD was always trying to be apart of some shyt.

I saw this, I had to explain to a 47 year old man who Jermaine Dupri was and why he was 'hosting' an event at a downtown San Diego nightclub....He's probably hurting, as much as a multi millionaire does, simple as not being financially responsible is my guess, god knows they have the income.

Also, he's not the first or the last of guys from that era, who will be scraping bottom soon, everyone isn't getting it like that in 2013, and haven't been for a minute now, but I bet they kept that lifestyle up.

well ATL rappers will ALWAYS freelance simply because they have that ENTREPRENURAL SPRIRIT......

southerners always had that "do it yourself" mindset :manny:

but i do agree with you on JD being more like a leech than anything....he just latches on to those that have a great creative spirit and rides that wave...

but i guess it goes to the fact that he came up from a priviliged background , being that his dad hooked him up with his first deal and even his ventures after that came about through family and friends like LA REID

POINT BLANK he is NOT a very creative person..hell he ain't even a REAL PRODUCER ...he's a BEATMAKER :heh:

But back to his business activities.....even if he ain't creative in that aspect, he could have bossed up like Diddy and just maintain intellectual property on everything he came in contact with.

birdman is the same way..the west coast singer who signed with Cash Money named TQ said that before the song you recorded was even in it's final mix...Birdman had already filed the paperwork with the libary of congress to have it licensed..........

It's a shame Dupri has caught feelings with Usher because he wasn't getting any exec. producer credits after all the work he put in...

that shyt should have been established long before he pushed any buttons in the studio

that Rocko Album that got released on So So Def, didn't even have him as a producer on it.:dead:

Rocko knows JD's hustle, and curved that shyt :jawalrus:

all this flossing shyt is just a facade Im sure a lot of AMERICANS hurting :wow:

last year my neighbor and his fiance got new cars fresh off the lot...his fiance car just got repo'd last month

and he was asking me how to go about getting a car loan refinanced...so i guess it's clear that he's about to lose his car as well :patrice:

also i can't forget my dumb a$$ jumpoff byatch who was sitting in my crib "flossing" her new Iphone and telling me about her plans to go on a cruise this summer with her friends as well as rent out a condo on the beach

yet , just last week she asked me could i rent her a car, cause SHE CAN'T USE HER CREDIT CARDS cause "she's in a rut"......

byatch just basically maxed out everything , due to bad money management and being shallow...

and it ain't a "BLACK THANG"

my all-american WHITE co-worker tried STUNTING on me and the rest of my staff by bragging about his 4 bedroom home with the swimming pool and a humongous grill he just purchased

but i made him feel like a fool, when i told him you doing all that while u got DEBT UP TO YOUR KNEES.....

he got kinda shooked :whoa: and tried to justify it by saying....

"hey buddy LIVING IN DEBT to have shyt ..is the AMERICAN WAY"... :manny:

it's sad :(

that we live in a culture that feels it's NECCESARY to be in debt for the most shallow reasons....

In the late 90's- Early 2000's JD was a big dawg tho. Bow Wow had the lil kid market,Xscape,Da Brat,Jagged Edge were all viable artists...production for Usher..right when the Atlanta scene was getting ready to blow up.



it's been 13 years since that cribs episode.
