Jermaine Dupri Interview at The Breakfast Club Power 105.1 (01/28/2016) 

Yea alotta ppl sleep on Jermaine unfortunately. Dude has managed alotta great artists & produced countless hits over the years. Salute homie. Great interview by the club

who else wanted that so so def bobble head back in the early 2000s

Everybody quick to scream "no one is selling records anymore. Rappers can't sell records" it's cause the music is trash!!! Adele still making platinum music. J cole went platinum because he put out quality music with no features and minimum promo. all these rappers using the same formula and getting the same results. Get mustard on the beat, future on the hook, and drop the album randomly like beyonce... CLOWNS

This man gets no respect. Everything he touches sold and ppl forget that he saved Usher career when LA Reid crooked ass and Puff damn near destroyed him. I can't think of one artist he signed that didn't sell. Bow Wow, Jagged Edge, Xscape, Kriss Kross, hell the Franchise Boys went platinum rapping about T-Shirts smh. He most def need a lifetime achievement award for real.

JD look like a chocolate tweety bird with glasses on lmao

Got so much respect for this man, JD!

News Flash: J.Cole "2014 Forest Hills Drive" sold platinum last year.

To be honest albums now a days aren't even worth buying like they were in the 90's and early 2000's

JD - Despite the negative comments and people being wrapped up into what happened to you in Janet Jackson... You're track record speaks for itself... You are an awesome producer that knows what he is talking about. Very knowledgeable of the business and has been around for a minute and will continue to. Longevity is everything and you look great in that suit!

JD is not washed and he's far from broke. Not everybody on reality TV needs the money, don't be naive.

Dudes a legend. He never gets his props tho. Prob one of the better interviews from the breakfast club. He dropped a lot of knowledge.

That Janet question touched his heart lol

Of course Lil Mama called Bow Wow a legend… She aint gonna diss herself.

JD is a Legend no doubt about it

JD droppin jewels! I'm definitely in agreement with the issue of how fast music comes out. It's cool to put music out to stay poppin' and relevant. But as a DJ, songs need more time to breathe before the next one. The next one be hot, but it kills the one that's out. Just my opinion... Great interview though!

BEST INTERVIEW I'VE SAW AND LISTENED TO IN A MINUTE! GREAT JOB JD! LOVE, AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

This nigga is just a good business man tryna make people a believer 😩✌🏾 We don't believe you u need more people 😂

Much wisdom about music, and the industry. #Respect

Jermaine Dupri knows his shit about the music business.

One of the most down to earth and liveliest interviews

JD on point with his info about the game.. He is Legendary... Artist putting out all this music not give there stuff time to die down and drop some more music. The game is flooded..

thanks yall

Much respect JD! You speaking some real

great interview a lot of good history man

Great interview.

One of the most underrated people in the game.

This dude has one of my favorite voices in hiphop all time even tho he aint no rapper

I think the show is great. It gives the kids a platform EVEN if they don't win the show.

Me and my daughter really enjoyed his show.

Always been a fan of JD PLUS IM FROM ATLANTA TO SO SALUTE💯💯💯

Welcome to ATL Remix was that ish

Very interesting interview from a legend!

Come on Breakfast Club this interview was too short. This man's interview should have been an hour plus long. He's dropping knowledge, why wouldn't you guys give him more time? I enjoyed every bit of it and I'm getting ready to watch it again on You Tube.

Another good interview.

Very insightful. JD was managing platinum artists when he was a teenager himself. As an exec he's slept on. And as a producer his discography is wild. He co-wrote "Always Be My Baby": end of story.

Yea Jermaine #TeamVirgo

Hey know what he talking about everything he saying is so true with the cultural of hip hop. People sleeping on Jermaine dupri that's the OG right their👌🏾

The way Charlemagne said mindless behavior had me dying lmao that shit popped in his brain and came out his mouth without a question lol

1 of my favorite interviews J D kept it 100... watch the freaks come out at night video JD in the front with the curl pop lockin!!!

Good interview 👌🏾

The Rap Game is a Really Dope Show I Watch it Every Friday Faithfully

Great interview!

JD is a very wise businessman...great interview!

Really good interview JD.

JD is a genius...I would listen to any advice he would give in a heartbeat

great interview

Maaan just get Bryson Tiller on this show!

Jd I don't got to comment on his work is so much I could say he just one of the greats

He is 100% right on his notion of attention spans. People do still have them. Cole sold a mill with Forest Hills Drive - NO FEATURE ARTIST. Kendrick sold a lot. I know they are the conscious rappers but they have the proof. Put an album out every year and get love. It can still be done.

love the show

I agree with Jermaine at 2 main points when he was talking about the way music is put out I feel like if a song is timeless it's going to stick with a person no matter how long it's been out. Most artist these days are only putting out seasonal music not music that will last for decades, & people can go back to it 10 years from now & play the song/album like it came out yesterday. Also I agree with having someone in your corner "quarterback" as he said because artist development is very much needed in today's music industry & I feel that's one of the main problems with these artist they come in this industry clueless & now they have nobody to show them how to conduct themselves!

Quality > Quantity

peace and love

Great interview! I like him more now!

Good convo

JD got jewels and knowledge. He might not always be hot and in your face, but he's always working and is still here. And he's right about the business. Sometimes you need to just slow it down and let the music sit for a while.

fucking legend...top 5 of all time

Albums are important to music lovers. I still love albums. I may not might it right when it comes out but I'll buy it.

You can say what you want about JD, but you gotta say this: Legend

legend

God Bless JD💯💯

The soul of Pimp C possessed him at the very end hahahahah

He got Janet. anything is possible

I thought I was the only person that felt that way about Drizzy, sounding just like Wayne. I guess they hung out so much their styles just kinda blended. Its like hanging with your homie and yall start saying the same dumb ass shit lmao. "Like man you done stole my words"

this interview reminded me of the reasons why i looked up to jd growing up

Swiss went to Stone Mountain, His senior year he was the DJ for all the dances. Shout out to the ROCK!

Dope as an executive, producer, and a decent rapper. He definitely doesn't get proper due.

1472 was a classic album!

JD gave a great interview

i have much love for JD his artists did very well thats the least i can say for Diddy he dropped his artists like a bad habit

This man is underrated , they sleep on him

JD still dope and he always still make me get off my feet and body rock to Welcome To Atlanta with Ludacris.

JD Janet's dude,,,,,man im crying

The WHOO was hilarious

This man made the demo for 2nd nature we now know as TLC, the rest is history. Jermaine Dupri is a living "legend". Grammy Award Winner as he would prefer

J.D. I like the wave. So handsome.

Shout out to JD. I just listened to interviews with Young Thug and Kevin Gates....and young rappers are dumb as shi-. It's nice to hear hip hop artists who actually make SENSE when they talk. I like that older rappers don't say "naw, i don't really listen to nobody else". JD is on his sh-- about other artists.

Man he the smartest and best producer to ever do it

JD loves to work with the kids

This nigga Bow Wow was really on the Class Room intro on Doggystyle . shit nigga might be a legend afterall

Very smart guy.

low key JD a legend

When you take a quick glimpse at him, he kinder look like Dame Dash sitting there..

JD a Legend!! #Salute

I'll watch this later on..

Killa

JD is right. It's the artists that has the short attention spans, not the audience. Artists are too concerned abt over saturating the market with music that all sounds the EXACT same instead of making a quality body of work and letting it breath.

🔥

Y'all Know This Is .... So...So....Def !!!! =) JAAAM!!!

Yee solo laugh strikes again @18:02

@31:54 his voice break when he was asked about janet jackson

Watching Beyonce's new video for Formation which she dropped side by side with her single, took my mind back to this interview. JD dropped some gems on the business of music here. Artists need to figure out whether they just want to be hot for right now or have longevity. Bey's longevity is secure.

OMG Jermaine is still alive!

15:00-16:54 JD definitely made good points,its how its being package and how often u putting out music like future,every minute future putting out mixtapes instead working his original material and letting it last longer with ppl. ppl will buy CDs if u know how to work the circuits but ppl have an intention to put out disposable music

So ETC told me this isn't the official breakfast club YT channel. I can't believe this.

Envy and all those lint balls on that beanie, lol

really good interview, he made a good point about not everyone can be Beyonce.

I went to REDAN!!!!!! Yasss JD~

envy wrapping up another good interview early lol

i think JD made some valid point and working with these kids is a great idea ecspecially if they have raw talent
