Wow, all this time we thought Jermaine Dupri was just a background dancer in the silk times leather video. Turns out he was the producer

JD was the best when I was a teen he gave us some of the biggest hits ! he's so right about kids just wanting to get in any game without putting in the work !

[@tracksphantom540]

That boy is going to have to find a really good Lawyer that has a great reputation for taking care of Artist .

[@teokennedy9785]

Genius

[@vidsuals9987]

Have family in the game like a stepfather and be raised to understand and know the game, then use resources of fam, and bring a music group. It’s good to know folk and have fam in the game. But I know. That’s hate

[@phyuckyu]

jabari said “umm” like 1,000 times

[@dopemanroyalfamtv9243]

No One Should Need A Lawyer On A Simple Contract. Thats Industry Bullshit

[@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

Later for his "Business Advice"... I think I need dating advice from him, he scooped Janet Jackson. Oh... Go platinum a few times and that's it. Got it.. Well... Back to the Stock Market I go.

[@triple-rrr]

I hope that if he preaching education, he actually out here educating those who need it more rather than ridiculing them

[@jetpark3743]

Most of their community you mean?

[@triple-rrr]

@@jetpark3743 yes

[@bigthangz5489]

Wasnt Dupri's dad a music exec at Columbia?? Y aint he mention tht? Thers a lot of conversations,talks, phonecalls etc & loads of thing he LEARNED about the business as a kid growing up in his home. Why th F he pretending that his dad being in the business didnt give him some tips on what to do 2 move successfully in the business !!!??

[@iamBDott]

I didn't know that until I researched it. Knowing that shifts the whole dynamic of his "come up story". He already had the upperhand with his pops being a music exec already knowing the business early. He was just fortunate you can tell based off the type of music he produced, its nothin too degrading and its mostly rnb. I wish he would've spoke on that, just be authentic with it.

[@patekberluti5004]

I thought he was broke

[@WESTERNBOUNDTV]

5'4 but a giant mogul

[@Nonpeon]

Atlanta -hyena capital. No thanks!! 😂😂

[@corruptauthor]

#1 tip: dont listen to Jayz 😅
