Jermaine Dupri Admits The South was too Dumb to Understand Nas

[Stick Up Kid]

I figured they were people out there bumping from it was written-god son days when he was mainstream anyway and perhaps after hip hop is dead not so much

And I mean yeah the south had bass music back in the day but Outkast and Goodie Mob were bringing bars


I dont think in the 90s it was a case of club culture music OR bars. You could rock both

Maybe post 03 things got different but hip hop got different

I know and is did HHID but I mean like after God Son he wasnt getting mainstream singles even though he was still selling a lot of records and getting acclaim. Its a testament to him that he didnt need to.

I love my people, and know it's not all of them, but a lot of southern culture was the worst thing to happen to Hip-Hop

Outside of a few cats like Ball/MJG... Scarface, Outkast...I agree. The South destroyed the artistic aspect of hip hop

Strange as he called Nas and Jay the GOATs before. I guess this is his favourite 5 but he considers Jay and Nas the overall GOATs?

@CrimsonTider, i need your opinion on this?

This ain’t bump in the whip? Nas opened this goofy’s FIRST SOLO ALBUM up.


U picked him up for this shyt. shyt is a lazy take. Let’s say for Illmatic it was that way. But why the fukk nikkas act like Nas is only worth one album when mentioning him? IWW straight thru God’s Son was filled with nothing but whip shyt.

Maybe the nikka saving face. The truth is nikkaz in Atlanta anyway, just didn't listen to Nas. I fukked with dude, but facts are facts. You just can't be riding in the city bumping Nas. Music didn't fit what we were into. Dumb ass statement from from jd.

This is not true at all. Nas was bumped. There are plenty of Nas fans in the A. 107.9 had a March Madness like bracket for GOAT MC. Listeners had to call in vote. This was 2006 during the Spring. Nas made it to the elite 8 in which fans voted him over Jay Z.
