I'm 50yo and JD is the producer i always wanted to be. That statement in itself probably explains why I didn't like him when I first took notice. But now, the brotha is a legend. My hopes is for him is to continue to make hit songs that I enjoy to this day. Keep bagging the 3000!
I love that they brought the Blueprint series back, but i also miss the sit down interviews where it was simple journalism at its best. Nonetheless this video is still pretty damn good
I really like this interview and have mad respect for JD’s contribution to music! Respectfully, I just wanted to point out that Q-tip from A Tribe Called Quest was rocking a baseball jersey in the Check the Rhime video, which came out before Kris Kross. And, there were other hip hop acts that wore baseball jerseys before and around the same time. Wearing baseball jerseys was a common fashion, among “everyday people,” long before ‘92. We were rocking them in ‘89/‘90, as 19/ 20 year olds.
@@mrswagg22music Actually it's a known fact that he was biting off of Another Bad Creation, who got their style and start from Michael Bivins. BBD was wearing clothes backwards (check the Poison and WBBD Boot City Remix album covers from 1990 and 1991 respectively) baseball jerseys and starter caps with the tag, along with beepers on their boot and on the other foot a sneaker, back in '91. JD even helped model TLC's style after Bell Biv DeVoe. JD is good and taking other people's style and adding his own flavor, but the jersey claim is a bit of a stretch for him to say.
Love your energy J to the D! 1472 is better than Puff as Producer - Song writer in my opinion and I'm always on my Bad Boy shit. Diddy can't box with this man period!
oh wow! I didn't know *Babyface* words to *J.D.* motivated him to do more when he thought he was the biggest w/ that "criss cross" joint, he thought to himself to do better, to do more!
I'm watching this 2 in da morning and it has me inspired to write again I haven't written a song in years and he was my favorite producer I always look up too so I'm really take this one shot at it again and make it happen
Interesting that he didn't feel respected for so long. In my eyes he always has been. I always admired his versatility. He has always been in my top 10 producers of all time.

I don't like the selection of the person asking questions. Should've got someone with knowledge of JDs career. Seems rushed and could've been wayyyy better. JD is a damn legend
“I’ve been telling people this everyday if you look at that Kriss Kross poster up there, Kriss Kross has on jerseys, this was in 1992. Nobody in hip-hop you can’t think of nobody else in hip-hop in ’92 that was wearing baseball jerseys, so that means after 1992 wearing baseball jerseys, football jerseys, basketball jerseys all of that came from me and Kriss Kross,” said Dupri....What about Phife?
Jermaine Dupri is no doubt one of the most underrated but successful producers of all time with the most well known artists of all time. For years I was not a fan of his out of jealousy but now have mad respect for what he’s done for the industry and built his brand into legend status on his own terms.
