refresh my memory, but what started eminem and dr. dre's beef with jermaine dupri?

[I love Latina women]

my memory fuzzy on this shyt

at eminem sayin' "we ridin'" and proclaimin' to be "white pac"

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Told XXL he was the best producer or some shyt. Dre and Timbaland took offense and this is what you got.

Canibytch oh canibytch

 

[Da_Eggman]

I'm pretty sure it was a source interview and honestly he said something like I got respect for Dre and tim but I feel I'm the best producer

Was really petty shyt to even reply


Here from xxl

"That’s my mentality music wise,“ Dupri was quoted as saying. "Whether it be Puff [or] anybody that people wanna call my competition, I will take them out. Hands down, ain’t nobody in the industry that can do what I do. Not Dre, not Timbaland, not nobody.”

I can see why both Timbo and Dre said "fukk Dupri" after this, but both of them already had their legendary status established at this point in time. They could've laughed him off, but it's also disrespectful for Dupri to say it like that. He could've said the same thing, albeit a bit more eloquently, and I'm sure it wouldn't have been an issue. Kendrick more or less made the same sentiment about himself on Control, but the difference was, he said "I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you nikkas".

Granted, the fact that the two events happened in two completely different eras, and one of them is strictly a rapper alone might be a different monster entirely, but I still think the issue here was in the wording.

you're half right... i remember reading it when it came out


right before that quote he said something along the lines of


"these other producers have entire teams with them in the studio. they can lock me in a studio, by myself, and i come out with hits......"



basically he was calling them out on using ghost producers and needing help with their beats while he was doing it all alone

Dre told MTV News earlier this month that he and Timbo were so heated that they contemplated collaborating on a dis song aimed at JD called “Papa Smurf.”

“Well, it was a few negative things that Jermaine Dupri said about us in the XXL magazine, so we were gonna make a song dedicated to him,” Dre explained. “He said me or Timbaland can’t do what he does. I thought that was kinda crazy. That was cocky. He was just at my studio maybe about two or three weeks before that asking me to do a song with him. So I found that really funny.”

If you listen to Dupri, there is no real beef. The producer said it’s just a friendly competition of who can put out the most hits.

“I feel like it’s all friendly,” Dupri said of his comments. “I’m a fan of everybody’s work from R. Kelly to Timbaland. Dr. Dre, I been listening to him since I was a little boy with
N.W.A. He is the best at what he does, but it’s a friendly competition with me. If the corporate people at Burger King and McDonald’s see each other walking down the street, they’re not gonna shoot each other or nothing stupid like that, but on TV it’s war.”

Which seems just fine with Dre. He said he has no problem with letting his “music do the talking.”

“How does he figure we can’t get with him?” the beat Doc scoffed. “Most of his artists would probably rather work with us anyways.”

On “What You Say,” Dre also refers to JD as a “Mini-Me” who runs around with several smaller versions of himself, and raps, “When I see you I’mma step on you/ And not even know it, you midget …/Over 80 million records sold/ And I ain’t have to do it with 10 or 11-year-olds.”

Like you said it was a different era. This was at a time when they had just signed 50 and he was in the process of diamantaling Ja so they had to follow suit to keep up the image.

He wasnt lying wrote the song, actually made the beat, and produced the track. Dude gets no respect for his talent amd contribution to hiphop/rnb

 

[NoChillJones]

nah fam, dupri is responsible for mad classics.

And penned most of the classics released on SoSo Def female and otherwise.
