I never get tired of hearing JD talk that realness. It's a shame he even feels the need to have to explain why he's still relevant. This man is criminally underrated and has been his whole career. When you hear that "y'all know what this is" tagline it's time to tune in and prepare for some ish.

[@kwashington77]

This was such an important interview. Kudos guys

[@KarlSainte]

Great interview. I love hearing the origins of hip hop straight from the people that were there. Especially from a music/dj perspective. Y’all doing a service. This history can now be told to those who only hear about it or think hip hop started in the 2000’s. 👊🏾

[@xanderjudedls]

JD is a genius. Great content. Thank you.

[@jaythursdayofficial480]

[@DJDRFUNKJUICE]

I remember getting JERMAINE DUPRI book (Young Rich and Dangers back in the days when I was in community college at the time, when I did my study on him, I got b+. Since then, it was a big game changer learning a lot from this man. Till this day I still remember that he was a home school kid, just like I was. This is a great interview.

[@raulhernandez9987]

[@davehannah9894]

That episode was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheSmith480314]

This was an informative interview for djs, producers, hip hop junkies like myself. And im not in the business of music. Just LOVEIT. JD seems like his for the culture, dropping jems for upcoming music junkies. History repeats itself. #sosodef

[@gorayomd]

Dope Interview

[@leezydagod2507]

Dope content guys. Very introspective interview. When can we expect an interview with 9th Wonder?

[@Son1UPTu]

Jd right about that A.I shit i listened to a 2pac song and it had no feeling ! when pac and big was alive rapping you could feel what they was saying ! Jd put more info out about the MPC! my dude !

[@partyKian]

JD the GOAT!

[@demetre3333]

Let JD speak. I hate these kind of interviewers who talk over the icons and interrupt them over and over. So disrespectful.

[@peterpaidnyc]

If you close your eyes, Jermaine and Skillz (Mad Skillz) sound so similar.

[@RellLife78]

JD is a great producer, but Miami did not get bass music from Atlanta. Luke was out way before the ATL music scene started.

[@sinofmidmobb]

Luke told him otherwise

[@dassehmc]

Nahh idk what they were talking about in the beginning. Idt Jermaine records sound East Coast or West Coast. His records sounds like Jermaine records. And that bow wow video used to haunt me as a kid him and snoop turning into dogs.

[@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP]

Funkdafied came out at about the same time Snoop's singles were coming out from Doggystyle and it sounds 100% West Coast i was trying to figure out what Da Brat's relation to the West Coast was, i don't live in the states, it was kind of confusing to me, i thought they had bit the West Coast sound, forget sound, the whole style

[@djkevinbanger]

watch this podcast in the bodega !! lol 😂

[@thetrashtalktvshow]

Need to interview MOB Mars about that Montana Of 300 beef

[@flynflashyent]

T.i.p first single was with Beanie Mam smh

[@SunGod95]

☄️☄️☄️☄️

[@DjMbezzle]

JD trippin about AI. IDK about big markets but I see smaller markets FLOODED with real djs who can't mix a lick and the audience really doesn't care. I'm talking about people literally playing clubs with spotify playlists. Add that AI can see real time up to the moment stats on what people are listening to, where they stop listening, what they listen to after that ect it's a receipe for success. I'm sure having a real dj will be a niche thing

[@nourdinh.1450]

I think Behind beyoncé renaissance is Black Coffee,and for Drakes Album 2022 was Keinemusik from Germany😉

[@davehannah9894]

Did he say he started phrase sampling? 🧢

[@TopBillinSports]

Then who did?

[@SquincyJones]

1:44:40 *I N F I N I T E A I R H O R N*

[@illanoise]

Jermaine Dupri doesn't know what open format means. Respectfully

[@jermainedupri]

Open format to me means, you can play whateva you like and I chose to play all HipHop

[@WestbankRed]

@@jermainedupri 💯 Right!!!

[@AhmedCSamatar]

JD actually replies to comments 😮

[@Mynameisbemaia]

Wow being the reason why southern women are not conservative conservative is nothing to be proud of. 31:53

[@Jesse_James_Dj]

Dope podcast!!! So many gems!

[@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP]

imagine how many more records JD would have it he did read the manual

[@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP]

3 Bil OK, but we need to factor in inflation, so you can't compare to the 90s in absolute numbers

[@ARE_YOU_SICK_OF_YT_CENSORSHIP]

just went to take a listen to Gunna - fukumean, the shit is terrible this is music for people with insomnia to help them fall asleep so yeah, if hip hop stays like this Gunna - fukumean non-listenable shit, there won't be #1 hip hop records
