JD is still the most talented person in the music industry…no one has held such a high position in the exec field, writes music, makes records, and does everythin else….he’s the man and he’ll still be good with or w/o def jam

def jam was destinted to be a failure once russell and lyor cohen left and sold the company to people who didnt ever care about the music or culture.

def jam now has chingy, rocko, ace hood…. enough said

jd only sold records when he aligned with mariah and usher. no one else that he ever touched sold any major records except for kiddie rappers.

jd should focus on r&b records anyway. that is his specialty. not managing any hip hop label.

I worked close enough to these people to say that JD is just angry he failed at being an exec. Running a music company isn’t about fishing for hits anymore. JD still lives in the 80s where we used to put out a gang of mediocre crap until “something sticks.”

Bottom line, his artists were wack. Half of them he found online through viral videos.

JD is the one out of touch, not IDJ.

Dude is a fool.

id keep the job anyway and collect them checks, cause so so def aint poppin off. just another obstacle nukka if you shined thru that environment bigger doors could have opened up. there is a story of a man a salesman that worked with thomas edison that was his dream. but he had to chill with packin boxes for his inventions i think and one day edison created some shit i dont remember and nobody believed it could have blew. except the guy, eventually he marketed the goods across the whole US and because a multi millionaire. oh well i guess the old man gonna be partying and shit now and just make beats

Forget Jermaine Dupri.

Does anyone else miss the old website design.
Damn, those were the days:

When you could reply to a comment by referencing the comments number.

When the Black backround did’nt blind you and give you a headache and force you to leave and go to HipHopDx.

When it did’nt take so long to load.

When you did’nt accidently move your cursor over yet another Vibrant pop-up forcing an even more intense head-ache.

When there were less posts about Jermaine Dupri.

What happened to thos days? What happened to the classics?
