VIDEO: Jermaine Dupri Speaks On The 20th Anniversary Of So So Def (Official Music Video)
February 12, 2013 in Interviews
On the 20th anniversary of So So Def, CEO Jermaine Dupri reflects on the legacy of his label and shares what the future holds including new albums from Jagged Edge, Leah LaBelle, Dondria, and Fresco Kane.
My thought is that as great of a producer as JD is, he’s never really cultivated a successful career for a rapper of legal drinking age, let alone one with serious longevity. And his roster is currently thin of promising upstarts in the rap arena, so I don’t feel in the end his legacy will be up there with the Dre’s, Timbo’s, Diddy’s, etc in the Hip Hop world, but that Pop/R&B money sure ain’t doing him any harm neither, so I’, def not mad at the kid. And bagging Penny always get you a nod in my book.
