80’s R&B star
Damion Hall may have
made headlines recently for proclaiming there is “no group greater than
Guy,” but producer extraordinaire
Jermaine Dupri is throwing his opinion in the chat by giving the crown to
New Edition.
Still hot on the promo trail for his documentary
‘Magic City: An American Fantasy’ (set to premiere on STARZ on
August 15), JD dropped by the
‘Joe & Jada’ podcast starring rappers
Fat Joe and
Jadakiss to dish on the project as well as his career-at-large.
Though his conversation with the duo was decorated by his regale of work with
Usher(‘
Confessions‘),
Mariah Carey(‘
Emancipation of Mimi’),
Monica, Da Brat, TLC, and others, a surprising highlight came courtesy of tapping into the “greatest group ever” hot topic.
Despite their solo and group accomplishments, JD argued the sixsome – comprised of
Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill, Ronnie Devoe, Ricky Bell, and
Michael Bivins – is not given their due from critics or music historians.
And while Joe and Jada refuted with their respective picks
Boyz II Men and
The Beatles, Jermaine stood his ground.
Undoubtedly a debate starter, press
