Jermaine Dupri defended his comment about the hip-hop industry being filled with “strippers rapping” by insisting he never meant to come across as sexist.
In an interview with People Now, the music producer-turned reality TV star sparked controversy when he was asked how he feels about Cardi B, Nicki Minaj and newcomer Meghan Thee Stallion rapping.
He basically said he was unimpressed with the current crop of female rappers. “For me, it’s like strippers rapping and as far as rap goes I’m not getting who’s the best,” he told People Now.
Cardi took issue with his response, calling on her fans to show their support for unknown female rappers who don’t just rap about sex.
JD was also criticized by social media users who called him sexist for pointing out the obvious: that rapping strippers take food out of the mouths of real female emcees who are yet to be discovered.
“There’s a million artists rapping, there’s a million female artists out there rapping,” he told TMZ Live. “What my statement was, was about the three that she asked me about – it wasn’t a general conversation about female rap. But everyone turned it into that. Everybody was like, ‘He said all female rappers sound like this’. And I’m like, ‘I never said all female rappers, I never said that one time’.
“The one thing I want to make sure I’m clear one, people keep saying (I’m) ‘sexist’, but I’m so far from a sexist – let’s not do that, that’s terrible.”
Jermaine added he believes his comment wasn’t the first time Cardi has heard a similar accusation, explaining: “When I saw what Cardi said, Cardi started her message off by basically saying ‘Now that Jermaine Dupri has said it, I’m gonna address it’. So that means to me that someone else had already said it to her, or she’s heard it before. So I just feel like it’s something that people have already been talking about for some reason mine just became the loudest.”
The musician is now hoping to have his say musically, telling the website that he’s dropping a new beat on his SoundCloud page.
“Anybody that wants to jump on this beat to get into this cipher, this is open for you,” he explained. “And I’m doing this to give these people this push that the women are saying they’re not getting.

I agree with the statement Dupri made. We knew they would come for his head however because we live in a society that venerates the woman. Truth is truth. No need to circle talk facts.
Jermaine, You are not sexist. You are jealous and a hypocrite. I recall you lost Janet because you cheated with and impregnated a stripper. You envy these young women because they are focusing and channeling their stripper earnings into legitimate success. If you had discovered Cardi B and City Girls and were getting paid you’d be singing the praises of stripper rappers. You are jealous of the success and wealth.
Facts?
Women of substance who rap barely get any shine. Case in point, Rapsody.
And naleem, ms dynamite. M.i.A…K.Valentine…Santigold etc.. hes right and mfz gonna use he slept with a ragedy stripper but did he turn her into a rapper?!? So wtf does that have to do with the fact that the industry IS promoting and soliciting these thot rappers over women who rap circles around dem broads with integrity?!! The industry no longer wants to push female emcees like Mc lyte Lauryn Hill Left eye Roxane shantes and Queen latifahs anymore because that type of sound empowers women esp women of color!! This thot wave in female rap is the worst it has ever been and its all pre planned to be that way!!
What’s there to really be jealous of? He could help them more than they could ever help his career.
PREACH!
Lol…I’m not sure what Janet Jackson has to do with this conversation?………and really, I don’t think that Jermaine Dupri is jealous of the city girls…or cardi B. They are NOT in the same universe.
Meanwhile…most male rappers talk about money, hoes, cash, drugs & sex…& their videos reflect the same thing. ????????
But atleast theres a balance theres many more male rappers that dont rap about that bs!! Stay woke. U tried it though..the thing is theres hardly any balance in female mainstream rap these days most of the popular female rappers are bondafide thotz! Period! And most of them now came off the pole str to the mic!
Exactly and that’s why he needs to shut his pie hole ? he wasn’t a rapper of substance himself
Lord, I get my coffee and sit down at my desk to login to sandrarose[dot]com, only to be jarred by this brightly-colored, tie-dyed-patterned hind end.

Why doesnt he police male rap content that has been about Money Cash Hoes *repeat*? https://media3.giphy.com/media/l0HlMSVVw9zqmClLq/giphy.gif
Be right back…. headed to http://www.dictionary.com
Hes speaking the truth. Yes, we know male rappers talk about BS too and Jermaine knows that as well. Trust me! Rap content sucks ass for males and females, but EVERY female rapper out there in the mainstream is a stripper rapper. ?
but on the show they never asked him about male rappers. He answered the question he was asked.
It’s difficult being a has-been,
short in stature, and constantly reminded how you cheated on the the baddest girl in the game at the time, I’m sure.There does need to be diversity on a more main stream level when it’s comes to rap artists. Saying that all of the hot female rappers now are basically strippers is like saying that all the hot male rappers are drug dealers/users and gang members. Of course it’s not true but mainstream artists are saturated enough with this stuff that’s it’s overwhelming.
I don’t see anything wrong with what he said, what is the big deal. He was asked about female rappers he answered and nothing wrong with what he said. The songs today have no substance, and I know about every female rappers tight wet pu$$y cause they say that in every song. Also they talk about how they know how to ride and suck a dack. But this is what sells and it is working.
I am singing along to the fu*kery too. However best believe Lauryn Hill “Ex Factor” will always bop in my car.
But yes I’ve played carbi b, city girls, nicki and megan and no their songs aren’t great , they lack real lyrics, city girls forever offbeat but I still listen to it. It’s catchy and fun and that’s what it is now.
He’s allowed to feel how he feels and I agree with him but unfortunately at this time stripper rapping is in.
Period https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d19f02a4fbf81f05fd9c26bb25a734af4c017e6460a75000de8891c1c50c4341.gif
Jermaine is so right. Look at that picture of Cardi. All she does is recreate her stripper moves on stage. It’s all sexual and lewd, but that’s what her audience (mainly white) pays to see. Youngsters not knowing talent.
All or most of Cardi’s audience is white. Look at the audience that goes to see these rappers, mostly WHITE. That tells you a lot.
JD, don’t respond to trolls.
Black media is Idiotic if what he said was controversial…
He was being nice….
People been saying their music is Stripper prostitute rap.
Stripper Prostitute Rap….. but the media loves to give black little girls Garbage and Trash to look at with the artist not having to take any responsibility for the messages they put out there to the public. The little poor black children imitate the looks and also the behavior of the womens image. The American Music Industry has never cared about the black community just the Money….,
Strippers that don’t write their own rhymes.
The men are terrible also… The Stripper Bars are better then the most of the trash male lyrics … Mumble rappers.
Ppl love to deflect
I finally listened to the clip. He could have picked a favorite instead he attacked them for their lyrical content as if rapping about stripping somehow makes them less than or not worthy of being deemed best. Coming from a man that’s sexist to me. If you can spit you can spit no matter the subject. It’s about having flow and delivery. He tried it…
JD stepped into it with this comment. He has a problem with “strippers rapping” but doesn’t have a problem with gang-bangers and drug dealers rapping? He should have just kept his mouth shut on this one.
You told him!
That type of music doesn’t appeal to me, but it is definitely in.The males helped usher this era in. They started glorifying strippers instead of women with class. The young women today aspire to be that ideal woman for those men which are strippers.
Y’all are dissecting this like a thesis LOL.
He said what he said.
Test
Where’s the lie??? We all know who the whores are. We’re not naive. People need to grow tf up and face reality.
He never was considered a “rapper”. But he can speak on rap seeing how he is a super producer and record executive and song/rap writer.
It is my understanding that they asked him the question. Nothing wrong with him answering it.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fe514ca34cf234d11dc2ce1e90da7172e5ea2e14c274d6adbcc152cd5c58f022.gif
Yes, I understand. My issue point though is that if ex-drug dealers and gang bangers can switch over and become rappers, then if strippers want to do the same thing he should let them be. If we don’t hold drug dealers’ past against them, then why hold it against some chick because she used to be a stripper?
Where’s the lie https://media1.giphy.com/media/hQiDnAI43yJmJmE7S0/giphy.gif
A nig-a who trashes the type of women he played good women for will never be taken seriously in my book. If yall want to make valid points ima need your messenger not to be a representation of whatever youre preaching against. He sounds pressed and its worrisome for such a mini tiny lil dude. Shut your googly eyes tf up.
Jermaine has nothing to be jealous of. He’s an extremely successful producer and executive.
exactly..i didn’t receive the statement as a generalization of all Female MCs. It was specific to the artist he was asked about and there was truth in his statement. How many songs can you right about your traveling vagina and Chanel bags?
No dog in this fight. Just wanted to stop in and say I hope everyone’s having a good day! It’s nice out in the ATL, hope y’all can do something that makes you smile today!
Boyyyy shut yo ass up.. the point is u mad u aint discover none of the women rappers killing the game right now..they aint even using ur same sounding ass beats .. good day!
rappers always rapped about sex ALWAYS. Those same rappers have stripper babymamas and gfs, strippers sidechicks, financing ig strippers for a rub and a tuh FAWK these men! I dont even like cardi b at all but i know hypocrity when i see it. Ninjas feel the need to «fix » women up to their standards which are low as fawk and varies hourly. I can name you 10 bomb ass non stripping rappers and im in public relations, how df mr soso def dont know anything? Bite size mf.
Today is my birthday. I am happy to be alive. I thank God for my best friend The Holy Spirit who is my comforter and my guide. God bless us all.
Has a problem with strippers rapping, but not rapping a whole song bout strip clubs u visit every night of the week..he need to cut it..jus know when to be silent!
Thanks! What is the temp in ATL?? I’m up North and it’s hot as heyl!! 96 today 100 by Sat!! We are not used to such numbers!!
I didn’t say he couldn’t speak on it. Anyone can and people are going to dissect it
The man didn’t call a press conference to offer an unsolicited discussion on the state of Female Rappers. you mad he answered a question in an interview…that would make you the pressed one sis.
Happy Birthday!! https://media0.giphy.com/media/toofSlHbXSfZHjxxCR/giphy.gif
Blazing in the DC area!
Bite size mf ??????
Happy Birthday!!!
have we not been doggin these rappin measleymouth niggas also? ain’t nobody crowning the men or the women. they both garbage. most old school heads (like JD) can’t stand to listen to today’s shit whether it’s coming out of the mouth of a man or woman.
All up the East coast all the way up past your area. Hate it!!
Tho i don’t disagree with JD. The bottom line is poetic and conscious rap does not sell. It’s not going to be played in rotation and no kid is going to be like “Yo i got that Positive Rap joint and it bumps”
He has a point, but he also has to be keenly aware of the irony in his assessment that FEMALE rappers rap about the same thing.
RAPPERS have, traditionally, rapped about the same $hit for the past 35 years. Show me a rap video that doesn’t either start, end or feature a luxury vehicle, a big house, and a big booty and bick tiddy hoe while I wait…. (tick motha f*ckin’ tock).
Jay Z got a zillion dollars and he’s STILL talking about phantoms and yachts. There is nothing NEW in hip hop – that’s why people like Jay Cole make such an impact when they say basic $hit that we’ve already known and have been saying forever – not because they’re deep but, because they switched it up and said something DIFFERENT.
I can’t think of a single person on SoSo Def who was saying anything different than everybody else was saying at the time SSD was hot.
Hip Hop became about braggadocio a long time ago and that narrative of the most hoes, cars and finest LSLH broads hasn’t changed since I’ve transitioned from Eric B and Rakim to the soothing sounds Joe Sample, Maysa, Phil Perry and, Leigh Jones (<— that's a fire white chick).
Look at 50 Cent… been OUT of the rap game for 15 years and he's still posting photos of stacks of money as if being rich for 20 years hasn't made him USED to money by now. Look at Floyd Mayweather… boy probably got $300 million dollars in the bank and he still walking around wearing every label in the store on his back and pretending to "talk" through a stack of bills.
Hip Hop culture is the same $hit, so, we don't even LOOK for it to evolve at this point… all we need is a catchy beat and a decent flow. How are you gonna hang out with a bunch of dudes who have been rapping about the same $hit for 20 years and then call out the females for not bringing anything new to the table? HOW?
the lil christian rap i hear on sundays is off the chain too.
i don’t even get it. folk just wanna cap for cardi. people been saying niggas garbage and nobody cared.
Yeah too hot and humid. Can’t really stand it. Stay hydrated and out of the heat as much as possible.
35 years ago? You know de la soul and tribe called Quest albums are not that old right? They rapped about buddy and leaving wallets in el sugando. ? music is just not good nowadays .
Let me have my exaggerations, WILL YOU?!? LOL You get the gat damn point! De La Soul’s first album came out in 89 – thirty years ago. You know we gotta put some stank on stuff to make it mo’ better.
I agree with his statement and Cardi told no lies either. But to be fair, these young ladies didnt pull this content out of the air?? They are not creating anything new. We’ve heard in the past and are still subjected to listening to ratchednes from both male and female rappers. Anything they rap about is highly influenced from Jermaine and all the other predecessors. I hate folks with selective memories. Didn’t Janet leave him because he impregnated a stripper? He need to get his ass on somewhere and sit down. Let these young women live and have fun. Right now, they’re just passing thru and someone else will come along. If he’s so concerned, go mentor the girls and help them out. Otherwise, because he’s finally matured; don’t act brand new and knock these girl’s hustle. Negro please…
They should be able to rap too, but i guess he is not fond of the genre. He was asked about those ladies and gave his answer on that topic. It doesn’t need further explanation to me, but if he wants to keep talking about it, so be it.
On this day Miss Thang was born
She’s a queen whether or not a crown is worn
Here’s to you, my friend! Go ahead and strike a pose. Today you shine as the brightest rose!
Happy Birthday!!! Hope you liked my lil poem lol
Why would he be angry when he is still eating off funkdafied y’all just be saying things without thinking .if someone asked your opinion about something and he gave a honest answer where is the problem.!?
i agree with him! he is correct!
Yes!! I am prone to dehydration and then a trip to the ER so you know I am scurrred!! Hydrate and AC is the key. Stay safe!!
Low 80’s right now but we’ll be up to 90 by the end of the day. It’ll feel like 100 lol
Stay in the house on Saturday that’s ridiculous lol
I can smell the funk though this pic, she looks so dirty to me! that’s all I got on this issue…
Right, JD paved the way for a lot of young producers. He paid his dues and still eating. He can have an opinion don’t mean you have to agree. He said what he said. The female rappers he speak of hope to be around as long as JD has.
Happy Bornday!!! Peace & Blessings….
I believe it could, it they give it a catchy beat and somebody pretty to sing/rap it.
Bottom line all of em are wak. Even little kim when she was out. Talkin about sex or how you can deep throat or take it in the butt wasnt impressive. Vice versa with the guys talking about bling and cara and money hoes etc etc samw shit no substance. Real female rappers
1-Eve
2-Mc lyte
3- Missy is a gun rapper
4-im going blank here im not gonna stress my brain here
But Nicki, cardi, lil kim, foxy wak
I don’t blame him. People really can NOT hear the truth these days. So sad. Thats what i was saying before he was asked about ONLY 3 artists in that interview I saw it. ppl really need to work on their listening comprehension skills. i’m glad he didn’t apologize. JD put a LOT of people on especially women!
Cardi has a serious wedgie.
Ridamdiculous!! Saturday and Sunday is going to be binge TV and takeout delivery day!! lol
Right, i couldnt believe people were taking lil kim and foxy serious back then.
Queen Latifah too! She was a positive Rapper.
JD knows a stripper when he sees one so if that’s what most of the female rappers remind him of, then that’s his opinion. He only had Brat who was very young when she came out so she didn’t rap about the same things. If Brat rapped what people think her real life is, she would be rapping like Young MA. It’s also not fair to say Young MA doesn’t rap like a stripper because all she raps about is getting head on her imaginary or strap-on dick. JD just figure out how to get some talented kid rappers on the Rap Game instead of worrying about what grown rappers are doing.
Everybody can’t be the same and rap the same just like everybody not 4”11 and ugly AF like you JD
Is yall’s Disqus acting up? I keep getting logged out.
Solid plan right there lol. What’s some shows you binge? I’m gonna watch Orange is the New Black since it’s the last season
nah they don’t want to do that ..then they cant do the fake outrage!. It seems more now the truth is rebuked and the fraud is applauded! # JD SAID THE TRUTH!
Happy Birthday Pumpkin!
of course it could
but when is the last time you’ve heard a
Talib Kweli, Mos Def, KRS1, or even Common for that matter…on the radio. ALL Prolific artist. But their songs are barely played on the radio. If the kids know these artist today, it’s because they have access to underground rap or they cop mixed tapes..
Thought it was just me
Not 4’11 LOL LOL LOL so uncalled for, but funny as hell.
He’s not wrong and neither is Cardi. But at the same time, why hasn’t that same comment been made in regards to the men? I don’t know the numbers but there’s a really large percentage that have been rapping about destroying the black community by selling drugs, robbing and killing for a very long time.
did you down load the Russian spy ware called FaceApp?
Lauren Hill, rah Digga, Rhapsody, dope
Lil kim and foxy were dope too why because they dressed sexy but lyrics were about a plethora of things!
Nothing s creative now…low hanging fruit is easy but also rots the first!
what? you obviously didnt listen
https://media0.giphy.com/media/XErSn6Dx9VRMIGLQJR/giphy.gif
Yes, I’d love to see a nice freestyle battle between female rappers… Without and hair pulling or shoe throwing
She like it like dat!
Lil kim n foxy was old school niki and cardi. Again talking about designers and how much diack u sucked and rapping. Hell its not even poetry
They were the original nicki and cardi. They were wak.
Yup… I like JCole and Kendrick
?
I don’t see the lie here! I can’t understand why everyone is so pressed about what he said.
Im hot this fun size kitkat had the nerves to pipe up. We aint said nothing about about him being 3ft11 since 2005 so wtf?
Midwest too… Tomorrow is our outdoor concert so I’ll be out in it. Drankin wine and water
Gotta look through my closet for something barely there to wear ?
Happy Burfday!!
I mean it’s true. Now city girls saweetie..etc. all these damn ‘dolls’ everyone rapping about riding d$cks and how good there stuff is.
J cole ain’t saying shit worth hearing. And why do u type essays in the comment section?
Nope, my scary butt do not download apps at all.
Good Morning C Mack! Thanks…I’m headed to Cashville tomorrow with that heat wave that the south is having. You have a good day too..
Happy Birthday!!!!!!Praise God to see this day. Have fun and stay blessed.
The fraud is applauded
^ yep
saweetie did not start off like that, they made her into that. Saweetie had some good songs and good videos but they wasnt promoting her. They made her get ratchet first and now they promoting her.
the music industry is not concerned with good music, they have an agenda for everything they promote.
Only to the songs they had videos for, which were catchy. But, they’re image threw me off.
Are the ad hominem attacks necessary? Lol. JD was asked about (3) rappers and he gave his opinion. Just like if someone asked your opinion on rappers, I’d hope that *you* wouldn’t face ad hominem attacks just because your opinion differed from the majority.
This is true, But Jermaine is not coming from an authentic place. He would have been fine if he had discovered and was rich off of Cardi and City Girls. I also recall did’t So So Def try to make over Da Brat a few times with a sexy feminine image but it didn’t work.
But rap didn’t become vulgar and misogynistic until around the early to mid 90s when capitalism took over. Suddenly, they started creating rappers – like off of an assembly line – who pretty much all looked a like, dressed alike, rapped a like, and had the same type of video models. I think the industry is the problem because they purposely reward and elevate artists who maintain the status quo: gutter life and sex.
JD is not wrong and his position isn’t ironic just because he likes f*cking strippers. Folks need to look at the bigger picture. It’s not all black n yt.
If it was that good, whomever you Fing would be rapping about it, not you. IJS
Truth hurts?????
Where is the lie, Hip-hop, is dead, for both sides of the coin….
Next up is Black Mirror and then Dead to Me. That should be a weekend marathon lol
He’s jealous that he’s not profiting off them. If Dupri is so off put by stripper rappers, then what has Jermaine Dupri ever done to uplift and economically empower conscious female rappers?
Instead of criticizing, I would like to see him take action to start a label and actually empower conscious female rappers who no one including Dupri ever gives a deal to.
There’s a machine pushing a specific kind of artistry for male rappers and woman rappers. It’s like when you’ve been fed fast food your whole life & have had it presented to you in a pretty pop culture package, and then suddenly having somebody asks you why you won’t eat more healthy lol. Younger and younger generations are becoming more and more indoctrinated with what’s hot and what’s popular. Conscious rappers don’t have the same budget and the same exposure to combat the filth that polluted the airways. Once you’ve become conditioned to a specific type of music or artists, it’s hard to turn them onto something else. This is just way deeper than stripper rappers vs the conscious ones.
That big ole diaper booty. That catsuit is cute though.
JD is from an era where you actually had to have TALENT to break through the industry. Think about Lil Kim’s Not Tonight (Ladies Night) Remix. Who was the only female rapper on that song with “raunchy” lyrics? It was Kim. However, Kim’s lyric still has mystique and flavor to them.
Outdoor concert would have me in the ER. First time I did it I woke up in an ambulance because I did not want to drink too much (porta-potty!!) and ended up dehydrated AF. Drank lots of water sis and enjoy yourself!!!
The men’s side is filled with hoes rapping too so who cares.
Going to edit that to read drug addicted hoes.
Black Mirror is crazyyyyyyyyy. I just got into it.
All I have to say is “Chika”……I grew up thru the great days of rap…. When we had real emcees…. During the Eric B and Rakim and Slick Rick days on the East coast…..to MJG and Eight Ball down south….. To NWA on the west coast….. CHIKA…. is ridiculously dope….. She not only has bars but she writes her own shi#, I love rap that has a story to tell, or point blank makes sense… This young lady is the business…. We need more like her….. She represents the epitome of female lyricist…. ?…..#Jermaineneverlied
Hip Hop is Dead ! On one side you have strippers rapping about dumb shiz on the other side homo thugs mumbling and clutching there pearls. I am now listening to Afrobeat, great music, creative singers and positive imagery….
Sir. You produced a song once with the lyrics “I don’t want dick tonight…eat my pussy right”
Nigga please stop. Please
Mine always logs me out. And I’m on my work computer so I can’t download any apps on here, even if I wanted to (which I don’t).
Ugh, I swear we have this conversation about sex in hip-hop every year. He listens to it whenever his chick (if he has one) wants to get ratchet. Sex sales and unfortunately those are the records that the labels are pushing. Women been talmbout they crotch and dingaling sucking for years.
Also Hip Hop is not dead ppl…
If Hip Hop is not dead it is in a Coma on Life Support!
Be safe! Yea my friends in TN are burning up too lol. Thank you! S/o to you though…I don’t know the significance of the 89 in your name but that’s the year I was born lol
Lol it’s not. It’s just on different platforms. Nothing has really changed when it comes to music. Labels push what they want to push. Now the rappers that you probably listen to aren’t going to be on the radio…they are on streaming services.
Yep I heard!! I cannot wait to watch it!!
Nah it made more sense… iTS HIP HOP its about the glamour and the have and have nots.. and neither were strippers!
lol You in denial for real . Over the past 20 years Hip Hop has had several Strokes, heart attacks…. that genre is just waiting on someone to pull the plug. They took the art and Music Programs out of schools especially in the neighborhoods that created the music and it SHOWS…. I was listening to something the other day and it sounded like Juvenile and Mystikal but with Super god awful lyrics.
I got Bama ties. Love love love her
Okurrr!! (I had to!!) I recently chaperoned a teen party and sis, my ears were bleeding with some of the lyrics and the teen girls were all in a tizzy!! The “suck my this, ride my that” put them in a frenzy. I never felt so old in my life. I am used to the radio PG versions and lawd jeezas, nothing is private no moe!! I am now officially “that” lady LOL.
Lol, nah. And which neighborhoods? And you can fight to get those programs back in those schools. It’s tough, but it’s doable.Cause in mine, those programs are still there. Also why do you think its dead? Kendrick is thriving and TDE thriving, J.Cole and Dreamville thriving, Big Krit thriving, Rapsody doing her thing and other artist that are nice, but haven’t been shown on huge platforms are doing pretty well. Sex will continue to sell and those are the records that the labels will continue to push until someone says no.
Right
Those lyrics are 24 years old. Lil Kim. But! I was a old teen by time that nastiness reached my ears!
Please speak…..
. These women that he talks about are or were professional sex workers or professional thotts at some point. Lets not act like he’s talking about the non sex workers. You cant have it both ways either your peddling puss or your not but if your pedaling puss, own it like Amber Rose and stop trying to get upset because they remind you of it.
Maybe it’s the delivery and the lyrics surrounding the nasty because they just put it out there. Back in the day it was a bit more subtle, or maybe I was just not “hearing it” LOL
Xactly …….I like how u said it is in a coma….. Well said…. ?
So do I…… U know real lyricist….. ?
You can’t have an opinion and you have to continuously kiss ass. Also most rappers suck these days and that includes men and women.
Please say it again…… Thank u…. ?
Lol…nope. I’m sure that if Mr. Dupri wanted to get in this game he could. He knows loads of strippers/hoes that he could teach to rap as good as cardi and flash their cooch. He was asked a question and he gave an answer. If you ask someone a question, you might not get the answer that you want. Jealous? I think not. He’s a T.V. producer now.
Everybody wants to be a porn star now but they also want respect. Sorry I cant respect anyone once I see them with nuut on their face.
he was only telling the truth. cardi b aint cute
Eatin off funkdafied? Huh ? Who buyin that cause it damn sure aint on itunes..yall old heads need to get out the clouds n realize it aint 1995 hun..its a new day and these women aint queen la or mc lyte or da brat.. he big mad he not on the roster, period.
He gave a answer but it was his opinion n wont honest, its sad a mf cant strip n still aspire to be something bigger.
Lol yup I’m telling y’all it happened around mid 90s… there was a shift… someone that didn’t know sh*t about good music started buying labels or something lol… but it was evident by the early 2000s that something valuable was lost. We didn’t have a variety of artists to check for. It went from 7-8 new artists and songs a month, to 2-3 artists a year. Something shifted and then we were left with Beyonce, Ashanti, Jay, Lil Wayne… and then Ashanti fell off… followed by Wayne lol… and everyone else that came after just feels generic and manufactured asf
Chiiii like i said..a mf start sexin janet Jackson n forget where he come from.. jus 10 yrs ago u was rapping bout every strip club u hit up every nite now u got a problem..clown ass. Bet money if he wouldve discovered the first female stripper turnt rapper he would be singin a different tune!
Truth hurts. It’s what so many fed up people have been saying and will continue to say about females in hiphop/rap.
Gone are the days where there was true talents & performers who don’t need to dress, spit vulgarity & dance like two-bit hookahs just to entertain folks for $$$.
It’s the same old same old tired pole dancing gimmicks because the level of real talent is not enough to entertain people anymore.
So I’m guessing he think it’s okay to go see women strip,in the strip club as long as they just stay there. He and other degenerates go there and “make it rain on those strippers” but the minute that stripper use her stripping career to progress into a legit career,he demeans said stripper.
Don’t get twisted, I’m hardly no fan of Cardi B but at the same time,I feel she is talented but she was not prepared for fame.
That’s why were seeing a rise in the Nigerian artist like Davido in hip hop. The mumble rap and pussy popping is exhausting.
I absolutely loved it!!! Omg ????????
I agree. And chillout with instrumentals music of top Jazz talents which is classy & entertaining. Not wasting time on that other garbage.
Even the country music listeners are starting to wake up to that garbage infiltrating their terrority to where it is all the same crap across the platform.
Time to take back control, tune out, ignore & be selective in music choices.
Truth hurts. When they can’t stand it or have no worthwhile come back, losers will opt for spewing the same old tired feminist tropes labeling it some type of -ist, phobia or other ridiculous bs which couldn’t be further from the truth.
It is what it is. Truth hurts. That is why so many fed people have cut cord to stop wasting $$ on garbage.
So what they stripped? Wtf does that have to do with the ability to sell their music?
I do have reservation about taking your clothes off in front of strangers for money but it’s not my business to judge.
C’mon young lad don’t back peddle now. Stand firm! https://media1.giphy.com/media/9EuG8bg3yzhzq/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
The same topic have been said by men at other times. Convoluting topics loses the focus. It is more powerful & concentrated focus when we take it one at a time.
This time it is about female hiphop/rappers. Before, there were so many topics pointing out the questionable males in sa-gging pants & mumbling garbage on payload promoted like they real talents (when we know it is about promoting an obvious agenda).
That’s what I’ve been saying. He has a point but he’s not the one to be making it. If Dupri was getting 20% off Cardi and City Girls he’d be on the blogs talking about how talented strippers are as rappers.
Young kids today even before they start dating have very seasoned ears. I mean music today is GRAPHIC. And now there’s internet where they google the meaning and pictures that correlate with all those graphic lyrics.
While I absolutely agree with you, no one will ever have that conversation about the men. No one of importance anyway.
i totally agree
He’s right but don’t blame the rapping strippers blame society or the millennials who buy, like and support this BS. It is what it is.
Yup. Rapping strippers and these mumble rappers all in the same boat.
Preach sis! I know janet is somewhere like how tf can i delete this dude from my past playlist ?
OMG, OMG I thought it was just me who saw this. It’s like someone demanded attention or else. See Aaliyah with timberland/Magoo had a mystic flow “up jump the boogie”, ” Luv 2 luv ya”, ” Hot like fire” with Missy. Fun- loving authentic beats ? that made it a signature mark. After Aaliyah died it seem like a pause that lasted to 2003 for two years. Aaliyah was just rushing back to see her love boo Dame. Dame was forced into a business meeting; I heard with Jay and Aaliyah wanted to spend some time before he left. So, she had them rush it; in which they’ve gotten the first local pilot available from Jamaica to leave, That had not any credibility with a pilot license that ultimately abrupted the plans for her steady shift. It was like domino effect that led to her death. It was like the doors was open for her but it ended too soon.
Nah, its not dead you just have to search it out. The media only play this new new…I was on Tidal yesterday listening to a compilation of “Grown Rap”…
Drug dealers, drug addicts, stick up kids, murders, date rapers in hip hop ?
Strippers in hip hop ?
We get it, little man. You can stop all this jaw jacking, it’s not going to hype your movie…?
Notice that the majority of their audience is white?
HBD Blessings!
Did you see her and Offset on Jimmy Kimmel? Are they trying to go mainstream? she was spray painted tan all over.
SHowl is….had one come up to me and my hubby and a friend to tell us who a rapper was on the radio. We were all looking like we don’t know who this fool is…because we black.
Thank you!!!
Uuuummmmm
kim and foxy started this waaaaay before them and he didn’t have a problem with it while he was tailing up biggie and jays arse …. I hate hypocrites and i’m tired of black men always trying to find a way to insult black women …why hasn’t he said anything about all the gang banging mumble purse wearing freaks that have taken over hip hop…..
why hasn’t he addressed his brothers ….
let the women handle the women and you talk to your boys ………….
Love songs don’t even exist anymore in hip hop. I havent heard a black artist sing about love. Not sex but love in about a good decade.
Look JD was baptised in the funk. Lol So, he soulfully can put his stake in this card that we’ve been dealt for a larger audience that is misguided. Okay, Cardi can rap about her experiences but to follow that is an ultimate, no-no. Now we have the same ol same ol new that’s getting old quick with others who are not being creative
This!
As if male rappers have been insanely innovative in recent years…HA…That’s laughable.
The same can be said for female AND male rappers.
Yes I am loving some FKJ right now!
they get on my nerves ….go to chicago and detroit and try to get your boys to stop killing each other !!!! and furthermore all he is doing is collecting royalty checks ….what artist has he put out lately ????? Ms mulato the girl that won his competition didn’t even want to sign to him …ask xscape and bow wow some questions …. him and diddy never knew how to treat their artists …jay is the only one that knew how to treat the people that worked for him AND his artists …might be why he’s still flourishing …also please don’t misconstrue diddy is still rich …….. but not as happy
But, but… He was asked about women. Lol I don’t listen to men in today’s rap language. I just urged them to stop rapping about their diacks coming from the 90’s when we was discussing the death of rap years ago. Because it getting them kilt by the po-lice; who neva get laid. So, that’s probably why they mumble rap cause we don’t need to hear it.
Read between the lines. He not mad females rap bout sex cus they been doing it. I think he too scared to say what he really mean. Which is the hottest female rapper out rn is a former stripper, who raps now to further her brand not because she actually like the art form. The industry honchos couldn’t stop a Love & Hip Hop, former stripper, social media star from gaining mass appeal. She’s groundbreaking in her come up, I’ll give her that.
White people have always laughed at black people for entertainment. They will just hand us black folks any ole garbage. The same way they used to give the slaves pig brains and chitlings and the nastiest food to eat they and are handing us low brow, low quality, vulgar entertainment. Sadly people are up here defending it like this is a good thing. Keep entertaining white folks and when they ask you to twerk for your life. Twerk like your name was Aunt Jemima. There are three things you will never see me doing in front of other races. Those things are eating watermelon or fried chicken or twerking.
I don’t care what nobody say Foxy and Kim were true creative artist whether talking about s ex or not and they weren’t strippers..Then fast forward to EVE who’s also a real talent, that actually was a stripper making songs like Love is Blind..This new generation of garbage aren’t even close to them..JD told no lies!
I know the hip hop fans is Fighting for its survival but smh ????? life support
GRAPHIC and unapologetic!! When I see these young girls gleefully recite that shat I am embarrassed!! SMH
LMAO!! True dat!!
Agreed….. Omg black music fell off period. Some blame it on the clear channel purchase …. it seems like it was industry wide practice to eradicate artists removing platforms.
? my friend who has MS said she has to sit this one out cause she doesn’t wanna end up in the ER
I know y’all trying to fight to keep it alive…
??????
Right now, they’re very much necessary. I just see alot of hypocrisy in his statement. In addition, I’m not a follower and i feel what ” I” feel. we’re all entitled to our opinions and I respect yours as well. And that’s it on that topic and I’ve said what I said. Good day:)
Isn’t he allowed to have an opinion ?
What was Trina talking about? Is that when it started to go down hill far as the females or no? Bc Nann Nigga and Love is Blind came out the same year
THIS. Bc HE not seeing money its an issue
The struggle is real!! I recently went to an upscale wedding and babeee they had a port-a-potty trailer!! Hardwood doors, flushing toilers, sink and AC!! AC girl!! Oh and a basket filled with every essential that you would ever need. I wanted to empty that basket so bad, but I restrained myself. I did however raid the basket at a hotel event, mini lint roller, mini Tide pen and wet wipes LOL!!
They know what he meant, just like tRump and his deplorables know why Colin Kaepernick and others kneel during the National Anthem. Playing stupid is the new black.
Quavo and Offset are indeed rapping about how good their ladies pussies are tho.
Nope. We Americans are supposed to accept anything and not have an opinions or standard. I’m about tired of all the PC. If the that man don’t respect a rapping stripper that’s his opinion he ain’t wrong for his opinion.
This. Jeffrey/Young Thug ass from his very own city. But his purse and dress are okay. If you calling bullshit on hip hop call all bullshit.
Okay um about sick of his Kermit the frog ? lookin asz. Man jess let it go!!
I think folks are simple if they took issue to what he said. lol its facts. Doesn’t matter who use to do it and who doesn’t do it lol. He was asked about the 3 and he said what he said.
I think it was needed because it shined light on dope female rappers that are not mainstream. I learned about a few that I didn’t know was out there. And I liked Cardi’s response. She said yall don’t support female rappers that don’t rap about their vaginas lol
God people can’t voice their got damn opinions anymore! HE said what he said.
Lol Yep I think Trina pretty much started the entire city girl/Hot girl summer generation but then u still had options not talking about the same thing..
The industry wants to see black women walking around with their asses tooted up and twerking at stoplights. These are the same people who elected Trump. Of course they want to demean and degrade minorities.
No I doubt it. Jermaine never signed any sex artist and he lives in the strip club capital. Its called having standards. Everybody doesn’t sacrifice standards over money.
oh well….folks gonna say what they want to say…if you respond…your giving it life…Cardi should have kept her mouth shut and continue to cash her checks…..
Folks got an issue bc He a huge ass hypocrite. Why you giving interviews like this last year and this year its death to strippers. Bc they rap. Like…???
¨Jermaine Dupri: Strip Clubs is the Reason Why Atlanta Music Stayed Hot¨: YouTube
Pick a side sir.
lmao.
Bullsh*t…minorities demean and degrade themselves. Look at this mess CardiB for example. The Donald’s voters have nothing to do with it.
True! He ain’t eating off the success so he may be a lil salty.
I think Im biased. I aint never liked him lmaooo
Cardi cannot even freestyle rap so….
I get that. He’s still a hypocrite. It’s done by both genders in the rap game.
Lol. That’s alright I was subjected into going back into the alienation of time.(showing my age) Lol . Listening to the beats from “too shy” By Kajagoogoo and chic “dance, dance, dance” Laughing at “yowza, yowza”
And he always had strippers or women acting like strippers in his videos and if word on the street is true he stay up in the strip club. He was a crap rapper and most of the other male rappers out now are crap rappers too.
Hey…Those are good basket gifts!!
“But atleast theres a balance theres many more male rappers that dont rap about that bs!! ??????????????????
But Cardi has songs on her cd that doesn’t talk about sex. She has the song with Chance the rapper and other songs that aren’t about sex. Like she said, that isn’t what the public want to hear or push. You can’t get mad at the artist the consumer drives what we hear. That isn’t something new. Sex has always sold.
Yep!
HIS ASS JUST WANTS ALL THE STRIPPERS TO STAY IN THEIR PLACE AS A STRIPPER SO HE CAN GET PLEASURE TRICKING WITH THEM, MAKE IT RAIN AS THEY SHAKE IT IN HIS FACE, RAW DAWG THEM FOR THE RIGHT PRICE AND GET THEM PREGGO LIKE HE HAS BEFORE……..JENNY JONES!!!
Exactly.
Lol! I ain’t even gonna lie, the day Obama was sworn into office I was standing in line with some cut up watermelon and fried chicken ?
You told no lies cause Trina defending them on a recent interview.
lol the deflection tactics are real
I’m still trying to figure out why this is a conversation?!
???..she let beetle juice bite the kat soon after she left her baby daddy ??..maybe he can get janet to spit on a track for him, make him some coins..
Personally, it just upsets me that they talk about sex as a tool to survive in everyday life and young girls believe that mess. When Kim Eve and Foxy did it, we could even take it back to Roxanne Shante. Everyone knew it was fiction. Now it has become a way of life and that’s a sad commentary for the world we live in
?aw I like Cole world
Watermelon originated in West Africa. The growing and selling of watermelon was major source of income for Blacks after slavery. White put a negative connotation on it and Black people followed along like sheep.
Nothing wrong with that. Eat what u want; where u want; when u want. Negroes always letting white folks shame them
True! DaBrat is more masculine than him. lol
Her pants in her arse is a no bueno.
Living my best life with Chance aint seen the light of day and its cooker.
But I just saw this performance and it was Offset’s show but she clearly took it over. He walked off the stage and she was still out there bending over. I love Cardi but I’m need her to be the featured artist not the star all the time especially with him. Thats going to cause the issues with them, mark my words
I agree that the industry never promotes positive rap with men or women. Once u become ratchet the world is yours
Ditto Ditto??
I would say no comment to everything. Everybody want a controversy. Smh leave me thee f out of it unless your cutting me a check to evade opinionated answers to your questions.
He is a dwarf azz sexist. B*tch LOVES strippers, but only supports their coins in a role that serves his Punk azz. Since they’re competition rapping, he can’t deal now.
I just cant, straight trash
Agreed. Im so over it.
Thats what white media wants forced on our youth. They control what gets played
Then got the nerve to be small. Small men always have opinions on shyt out of their lane.
They asked him the question ?????
He has enuff to eat lol
Ppl hear what they want to hear nowadays
Eve never glorified her stripper days, she kept it hidden
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0C5ZtbHSWr/?igshid=uvidld35c9ba
She sure did
Thank u!! & the dumb youth falling right into the trap! I feel sorry for the future.. this generation is lost on social media. If they shut off instagram alot of these “celebrities” would be lost.
????? Did u watch the interview???
Everyone skipping over that part!! THEY ASKED HIM?????????? This generation dumb & lost!
& actually played instruments
?
The women back then who always rapped about sex had the lowest self esteem. Kim is slowly killing herself with plastic surgery and bleaching. She admitted that she still has horrible self,esteem. Trina doesn’t know how to be anything,but a sex symbol and she is middle age up there squatting and grinding on stage trying,to compete with City Girls. Even Khia has found another hustle with her blogging. Trina is still thinking somebody wanna see the gray hairs on her snatch.No one with healthy self esteem is gonna talk about their reproductive organs round the clock.
She cant talk.
They cant read
??
So true!! Fraud is the new thing
Lol agree, kim was nothing without Big
Who said it was fiction,They were doing what they were rapping about. This is reference to queen lil ching lee and foxy
Monie luv
I forgot about trina
Rite, she always look dirty to me
I agree! These new rappers are “created” epmd, erick b, big daddy kane, LL, that was all them! Not made up!
I get into with my son with this topic.. i tell him music nowadays makes no sense & he always throws in my face Das Efx lol ??????
Speechless!
??????
Basically lol
??????????
?????
If they can actually rap them great… but honestly, Cardi cant rap.
?????
Thank u!
Me too?
Well let’s be honest, the mainstream popular female artists rap about sucking d*ck, twerking, clapping their ass cheeks, drinking, doing drugs, and getting money. How the f*ck did Jermaine lie?
And he didn’t even lie to be perfectly honest. Stripping has been a theme in mainstream rap both male and female for quite some time. Money, drugs, and blowjobs. Let’s be honest.
I don’t like his ass either but can admit it when he is telling the truth. I don’t think I’ve heard a mainstream female rapper not talk about how good her blowjobs are in a good while now.
You stay trying to rescue that fat, orange, misogynistic blob. How much are they paying you to loiter here?
Welp, isn’t those strippers the same ones he’s been raining money on them for years?
EXACTLY!!
And out rapping his lame ass!!
I am not ashamed of eating fried chicken nor watermelon ??
I damn sure won’t be twerking nor shucking and jiving!!
Would never! Doesn’t even get airplay but was one of the nicest song on the CD. So was be careful. So was her intro. But that’s not what the powers that be push, so you can’t be mad at her
I do not think she’s talented!!
Most definitely not!
Rhapsody, Doja Cat, Tierra Whack!!
Check out the song “ Water” featuring Mahalia..
What does that have to do with strippers rapping? You’re comparing two different things. ???
look babrbara walters 718 …Don’t sweat me … Thanks BYE now
no one said anything about him … I addressed her hypocrisy
Thanks to the fraud in the white house.
It really is a travesty what we have done to the black youth. Alot of them do not realize that their white and latino counterparts feel racially superior. They have just learned to snicker about it and not say it.
Lol
That’s why I wont indulge them and eat in in their presence. Every white person in the room could have some chicken and watermelon but they will snicker if the black person has it. Nope I won’t indulged them. You can do what you like however I lived in the South and I have already heard whites make the jokes about “black folks only go to the salad bar for watermelon.” That shit is deep rooted.
Chile Bye…! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/34b222199138f928777f13760964a7749521a0a0aa3e2192e8902e1afc96457c.gif
I totally agree with you
So do i
And all the other women have grown up and moved on to other endeavours. Trinia still trying to out rap her goddaughter in City Girls. She is pathetic. She isn’t hosting a radio show or blog. She isnt a business woman. She isnt even managing City Girls. She’s trying to chart a hit with them. Sadly she sees then as her peers ? Trina is gonna be in menopause rapping about how wet her puss is.
Like she is competing with the likes of City Girls and Cardi. Trinia needs to be managing them not trying top the charts along with them. Its not 1999 and she hasn’t been the baddest bitch in 1.5 decades.
Now we got men on wax rapping about giving blow jobs. When that JBLOC and Drake song “”Look Alive” came out I didn’t know how to take that line when dude said
“I’ll blow you like a flute (rrah)” ?
David Banner said that in his VLAD tv interview. He said the record company’s didnt want to sign him unless you rapping about that kind of stuff.
I think you covered it all!
Amen and Happy Born day!!!!
?
Wait a minute!… Didn’t JD cheat on Janet with a stripper and had a whole baby with the stripper???
People want to be entertained….I’m listening to lizzo and 21 pilots while I get ready for work
I guess I really don’t care what they think. I don’t live for them. But, you have to do what’s best for you.
I agree with Jermaine Dupri… it’s not necessarily a diss… Unfortunately the fans are buying the stripper-gimmick right now. I hope it’s over soon! Real women who can rap need to be heard and the strippers can go back to the club.
Ok. Got it
Froggy, I mean..J.D, its just our time to sit our ole azz down and let these kids do them..mk..our freaknik days are so long gone..go find some grandchildren to take to the park. ?
Unless that stripper is now a rapper, I don’t see what that has to do with this.
He didn’t lie…
EXACTLY. Everybody can give their opinion about something (like we all do when we hit “post”). Lol I don’t see how he lied or told some far in left field statement.
The ones who mad are the people that like this garbage a** music.
Thank you! If it doesn’t apply… oh phuck it. These are the people that start arguments for no reason at all. ?
??????
Oh the stretching in here. He said strippers are rapping. Girl apparently 1 + 1 doesn’t = 2 for many of these folks.
Eh. I mean, strippers are entertainment. They show their bodies and perform acrobatic dances moves up and down poles; both on the stage and in laps. They collect money and do whatever else. Do we have to LISTEN to that sh*t too? Overkill.
I’ve heard PLENTY of dope female rappers who have real bars about real sh*t yet we’re gifted with these (truly) talentless bodies who are carbon copies of the previous one.
I would like to see alla these females in a real cypher. ??? And you can’t talk about anything related to your former “profession”.
He said nothing wrong, in fact he should have gone further and called them “Prostitutes that rap”
What does that have to do with his comment? Were they rapping while they were stripping?
Strippers still made the music of ATL big. Whether they rapped or not. Them rapping IS STILL putting money into the ATL music scene. Every time Cardi stripper rapping ass hops on one of her husband tracks or vice versa. Last time I checked Upset is from ATL.
I prefer prostitutes that moonlight as strippers, not rappers, but h*es gotta eat how they can eat & if they’re willing to rob their wealthy clients rapping about it sounds equally useless, sooo…. #EntertainmentIndustryProblems2019
EXACTLY.
There was definitely an era of marketing where ATL strippers danced to it (any level rapper’s song) and made it a hit. What a washed up marketing scheme and here we are 10, 15 years later & people hate music, hate rappers and now LOL the STRiPPeRs (&ho*s, male & female) are the rappers. Full circle of bs ATL. Full circle.
That’s exactly his problem.
These “kids” have grown up so fast and lived such hard lives they look older than him and have metabolic ages of 55. If you look like 60 yrs Benjamin Button it doesn’t matter if you are 18. Your body and face say 60 and the calendar say 18. Body and face win.
Everybody was nothing without Big, even Puffy. Big made Bad Boy.
But Dupri tried. And had Da Brat made bank off twerking in a catsuit, he would’ve been just fine with it.
Yes. Its been a long time. But unless you have NEVER made money off of them talking about their blow jobs or their puss you need to hush. That doesnt apply to Stimpy up there.
Didn’t Janet buy him out of Bankruptcy? He’s successful but he’s not making bank anymore. Truth is the whole industry is shook over how a former stripper took over the way Cardi has.
These ignorant expired thots on this board are gonna try to justify hoe-ing till their old ass head goes cold. Yes if youre on this board applauding thotting you are in retirement. An active thotwill not be on a comment board defending it because she will be too busy taking selfies and posting on the gram and doing live streams to be bothered with the “news” and current events. If youre on the board defending it you probably draw SSI and have a prolapsed vagina that doesn’t work anymore. Trinia will be a commenting soon with her tired worn out pum pum.
Critical thinking has flown the damn coop! Dumb is fast becoming the new normal.??
No need to rip JD, IT’S HIS OPINION! We have one, too!
Who really cares?
H*oes be winning, whether rapping, s l u t – walking, leaking ses tapes, nude photos, or wedded straight off the Gram!
But, he told the TRUTH, and it’s ALWAYS going to be different what men do and what women do! There is no moral ground, just bags to gain!
Hardest hit are young black girls and women living a real hood life, nobody’s gonna wife, use as stepping stones, reciting meaningless lyrics (AFFIRMATIONS)!
**throws rocks at Yup** ?????
U know the hit dogs will be hollering in 5…4…3…2…
Jermaine just mad because his rapping has never been successful..???
I really do not care about this very much.
I said what I said
The industry has always been a business, and mainstream has never been in our favor!! The Internet has truly changed the game..
Hmmmm
There’s ROOM for female rappers to make ignorant tunes just like some of the dudes do/have. Uncle Luke actually should’ve BEEN tapped into this many years ago ?????
As far as Cardi is concerned, I’m not a fan AND I ain’t mad at her. People “like” HER and the crap she spit out. She, along with other female rappers gave female lovers of hip hop/rap confidence. It’s a gang of unattractive MEN and WOMEN with dime bodies and boogar faces. As long as people are mature enough to KNOW all of this is just an “image” and NOT SAFE to actually act out. Get in where you fit In
That’s why I can’t with most people. Once I realized I have a fool on my hands I hot that block button so fast discuss freezes up. As the saying goes “Don’t argue with an idiot because they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
Yaw memba that song “strokin?”
How bout that cd cover with that bih sitting on a toilet?
This ain’t NEW. Shit been going on fa yrs. now that people actually READ contracts and own they music making money WITHOUT the babyfaces and J.D… people ?
Thank you!
I read an article from an exec from Billboard, he stated how R&B use to compete with Pop, but now there’s only hip hop, which is turning white by design!
Radio DJs or personalities can only play what’s on the station’s playlist, the same songs in heavy rotation. This is who really broke new artists and music (payola). All aspects are owned by a few companies, record labels, Live Nation, iHeart, Clear Channel or whoever may own it all today!
They want to control our minds, behaviors (spending, violence, relationships)!
Name a female rapper that JD has put on, besides Da Brat. *Waiting*
And Eve has been defending Cardi.
Oh and when the black girls that go missing or are sexually abused like RKellys victims. They are hurt by these stereotypes. They don’t get news coverage or a posters, billbards or protection like the white and Latino girls because studies have shown that people see black girls are more “mature” and basically grown and fast than their other counterparts. We need to let these black kids be kids and stop trying to live vicariously thru their youth. Unfortunately that would also require the parent to be parents and alot of the wild ass parents cant wait for their kids to grow old enough so they can stay home by themselves and babysit their siblings.
You’re exactly right! Her has been grossly under-promoted!
“They” know music is like a balm to our souls! We’re the only group who don’t have love songs promoted.
We have you messed over me, breakup songs, but romantic music “Forever My Lady” or “One Woman Man,” nope!
Okay so he’s sitting in a bit of a high horse, understood. Maybe he should preface it with “not that I haven’t profited from stripping rappers, but…”
Don’t get me started, I co-sign every word you wrote!
Lot of these missing girls are h o*ing cross country with remote p i m ps, or aged out of the foster care system, and making fast money fell in line with the abuse they suffered growing up, “based on true stories!” Media h*oes are idolized!
These mamas are trifling, glued to their phones and social media, don’t want to be bothered!
The mamas are glue to their phones, these streets or some trifling man that ain’t the daddy or all three. Our kids have no chance and today there’s an article about more people taking their kids out if,public school and going private schools , chartered schools or homeschooled. Once the people who care about education pull their kids out of public school the funding will go to straight doo doo. In my state the republican to give people tax breaks for paying private school tuition and encourage this mass exodus from public schools. Its sad that black people don’t see whats happening. While we arguing about a strippers right to rap and twerk all the other folks are investing their time, money and energy into separated their kids from ours. While people are defending Cardi’s right to poison our kids minds, little Kulture will go to an excellent private school but where will yours go?
Girl, these mofos SLOW AF they can NEVER even tell who is insulting them and why and have the audacity to mention “critical thinking”????
They don’t get it! You’re hurting these idiots?
??
My thing is, think about all the HORRIBLE HORRIBLE MALES rapping right now, I mean seriously? It’s dominated by idiotic dudes who are mumbling their way into millions while promoting complete ignorance i.e. violence & drug use & sex. It is all entertainment I agree, but I cannot see how he would focus of the few females being strippers and talking about their p*ssy in a sea of male buffoonery. I like one song by Cardi B ( the first one) and I don’t even know the other chicks he’s referring to cus it does sound all the same, but I see his BS calling them out from a mile away.
Say whaa nah?? ?
True
Do you actually think the music industry cares about anything other than making money? Also, rap (aka yelling in rhythm) tends to draw people of a certain ‘negative vibration’ as opposed to singing which is musical.
No it’s not.
Without getting bum rushed on Twitter. People can’t have an unpopular opinion anymore without being vilified.
The irony is people think they are shutting you up or changing your opinion when they attack you for your opinion. But as we can see with this last election and the civil rights movement, you just making folks angry as hell when you try to take away their voice.
https://media3.giphy.com/media/Kan1AHHJmMRYA/giphy.gif you say?? Lol!!!!
?
JD didnt say nthn wrong. the female rappers that are getting the main stream attn are ALL STRIPPER-like. ?????
???
what da fuk??? ??
Who cares every girl is a stripper and if you aren’t getting that stripper money (at least $1000 a day or more ) than you my friend are a damn idiot ! Get ur money fools !
It was artistic. Music has always talked about sex but back in the day people had talent and told a musical story. Now they just try to outdo each other in how raunchy they can be.
The majority of these so called female “rappers” are absolutely disgusting. I cringe knowing so many girls look up to these w hores.??
This public school exodus is REAL! They try to lead us to believe charter schools is the way to go, but a white public school administrator said then we’ll just have many under-performing charter or privatized “public” schools!
It’s the HOME, and what kids, along with their parents are watching and listening to, emulating sadly! Not jobs, unemployment or politicians!
PARENTS should raise their own kids, but so many don’t! I only say these things for those who care, tho, empathy is basically non-existent!
We don’t even remotely try to shield our kids from inappropriate or non-beneficial MEDIA: explicit music videos, lyrics, horror movies, gratuitous ses and violence on tv or in films, adult gossip, man or baby-daddy bashing!
Then we try make them grow up as fast as possible, you can count the strollers or wagons in the hood, toddlers have walk blocks, crying, little legs tire.
So, yeah, the ghetto or ho* stereotypes are impacting us, while these rappers, women or men’s children will get the best education, and live in gated communities!
Not blaming them (entertainers) either, they’re cashing in, our ACCEPTANCE or feeling helpless or hopeless (for those who see) is what’s also very sad!
Yesssss!! It was artistic!! ??????
Who cares what his oppinion is? He’s far removed from todays music. There’s music for everybody.
?
If rappers can talk about busting down and selling drugs and street life, why cant females talk about feeling themselves and shaking ass? Music is art. And you cant dictate someone’s expression. It’s like going to an art museum and complaining about the theme of the installations. Stfu. Also, his comments are sexist because he generalized everyone’s catalog and likend them to strippers because of their looks and how they present themselves.
Seriously I understand what he’s saying. This new genre of HipHop that’s all they rap about. Drugs, Money, and Sex. Male and Female rappers…but we’ve HipHop has changed.
THese are the skankiest people in the music business.
Just look it
There was a time when American black entertainers dressed better then any of their fans, black or white.
Well when you look at this pic….what else to say….Guess Dupri has a valet point..

I think that song debuted a year after I was born, but I vividly remember hearing it on the radio.
Girl no youre not! We’re a community up in here fr fr
Black Pearl by Sonny and the Checkmates.
I love it and the message! I love how Beyoncé always pays tribute to our African roots
Why is everyone so mad at Jermaine Dupri? He was asked a question about “women” in hip hop and he answered. And it’s true! I’m so tired of this stripper and ratchet culture being glorified
They may seemed sexist because he spoke about women in hip hop because he was specifically asked about women. The women who get promo are the ones who promote a ratchet lifestyle
Agreed
If you google so so def and go to Wikipedia and go to the Roster there are quite a lot of females he put on including 3LW, Xscape, he managed Monica, Dondria and Leah Labelle ( who passed away)
Yep
????
We could have gone for a world record!!

No need to call me out of my name Asshat!!
Common sense sure isn’t common!!!
PsA!!! I blame the US educational system.. Now I see how Cardi B can become successful in this world. Bars are aimed so low. Critical thinking, connecting dots, drawing conclusions are just things of the past.. Make. America. Great. Again.??
My data was compromised. So they gave us a free year of credit monitoring. Are we automatically part of this Class Action?
“The Wall Street Journal says Equifax will pay around $700 million to settle with the Federal Trade Commission over a 2017 data breach that exposed Social Security numbers and other private information of nearly 150 million people.
The Journal, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, said the settlement could be announced as soon as Monday. Equifax declined to comment.
The report says the deal would resolve investigations by the FTC, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and most state attorneys general. It would also resolve a nationwide consumer class-action lawsuit.”
My data was also compromised during this breach and my monitoring got cut off at the beginning of this year and I’m thinking I still need constant monitoring even beyond the year or two that you gave me my information is still at risk this shouldn’t absolve them of responsibility. It really should be free monitoring for life because who knows of our information is just sitting in a pile of paper somewhere or in a mainframe or hard drive somewhere just waiting to be used.
The lawyers will get 33.3% plus administrative and other fees…so close to 65%. So, we will get our three dollars and twenty three cent checks in the mail in about two years.
Exactly. Why shoud the crook use it now…it’s hot. I’d wait a minute…until I think people have forgotten and Then start using it.
WE should get something! We’re the ones whose lives are all out there.
Minus the 50 cent it cost to mail it.
I hope nobody tries to buy a yacht using my credit l0l!

LMAO ain’t that it
Not my fault! When she left on her “bizness” she should have taken it with her!
????????
It’s a damn shame when the truth is this funny!
Right. I hate when a true statement vs an offensive ideal isn’t distinguished. It really diminishes a real struggle.
For those of us who recall that has already been said & done. What you have now are different types of males in hiphop. The media counts on those with short-term memory because they can or will only deal with the now.
Deflection is avoiding that which is the topic by trying to talk about other things that are irrelevant. Jermaine was questioned & answered accordingly about female rappers. He was not asked about male rappers.
Shout out to Jeezy!!! …. Atl is lit …. ninjas wildlin …. dirt bikes 4 wheelers you name it ….. where ya at .?!!!! My azz at home lol … just got here but if ya outt there turn up! https://youtu.be/gczBgNB-p1w
Guhl what you talking about? What my ex baby daddy from 2006 doin out there?
Speak the truth and you are a “….phobe, ….cist, etc. Anything to silence you. Here is a woman that drugged and raped men and is proud of it, of commuting felonies. But tptb is expecting black folks to celebrate her and many do.
Or when they see ya score go up cuz ain’t nobody stealing someone with bad credit information they may use it when they see it get better or I’m wondering how does things work in other countries maybe these folks using our identities and information in other countries ?if I’m not mistaken they use a different credit system in other countries so if you use someone information from another country it’s like acquiring a fresh or blank credit profile which you can build. ( I’m speculating) also I heard that information could be used to commit some sort of election fraud
Chile it was Lit yesterday …. felt like some Jeezy needed to be thrown in there https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6372ccd0fb78a5e96a6bd42f0197b28b3ca7b5ebc8d1f42c34fadb40e042259b.gif
This dumb broad went and got Offset’s name tatted on the back of her knee! How much dumber can she get?! Luckily she’s started to fall off a bit and Nicki and her stank attitude her pushing her farther off to!

So true
What did he say wrong????
CNN update~ According to the commission’s online claims process, those whose personal information was exposed can get free credit monitoring for 10 years: four years via the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) and six years specifically through Equifax.
if you already have credit monitoring, you can choose to receive $125.
