In an interview with Creative Loafing, So So Def founder Jermaine Dupri spoke on his label going independent as well as recent downsizing at So So Def.
As part of downsizing Dupri has gotten rid of a number of the company’s luxuries. He’s decreased his staff tremendously, relocated, and even took down the once prominent So So Def billboard in downtown Atlanta.
“Everything has been micro’d,” Dupri explained. “It’s a totally different business than it was three to four years ago. I don’t really have but, like, three people that work for me.”
Aside from So So Def, Dupri also spoke on a recent comment he made about R&B crooner Usher. After not being asked to work on the singer’s new album Dupri referred to Usher as “disrespectful” in an interview with Vibe Magazine.
“I can’t control people’s lives, I don’t even really care,” said Dupri. “The artist will do what the artist wants.”

You are guaranteed to be your r the one of them.
Idiot The Gorillaz are probably the 2nd most hip-hop influenced band on Earth (#1 being N.E.R.D.)
just because there are some rappers who feature on their tracks doesn’t mean they are hip hop influenced u knob jockey. Katy Perry has a tune out with Snoop Dogg at the minute, is she hip hop influenced? why are we not getting news on katy perry on this site? wat about justin timberlake? he’s always doin tracks with hip hop artists, get some JT news on here too.
Hip hop site = for hip hop. Its NOT for ppl who are ‘influenced’ by it.
NIGGA YOUSA ROOKIE ASS BITCH @BWS. THEIR FIRST SINGLE CLINT EASTWOOD WAS A RAP SONG AND DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN (ICE CUBE COUSIN AND BAY AREA LEGEND) WAS A GROUP MEMBER
wrong “nigga check this”
Clint eastwood was an electro-rock song with ONE rap verse from del tha funky homosapien was NOT and is NOT a group member.
Since u don’t know this info, ur clearly not a fan of theirs, so why are moaning so much about this…..?
so what if they are hip-hop or not they rock n if u dont like them stfu
i was just askin why they are always mentioned on a hip hop website.
it was a simple question, but all of u fucks seem to feel a way about it. Sucks to be you…
Dont care about JD and all that stuff, just wanted to know what the hell happened to the new website for HIPHOPDX. It was up this morning and now its back to this beta crap. For those who didn’t see it, the new website is NICE!!!
BWS-Fish is a gay ass game fan… Nigga dont know hip hop… Much less the Gorillaz.
Cant wait for this muthafuckin tour though!
i really couldnt give a fuck if ur a fan or not. I’m a fan of Frank Sinatra, but that doesnt make it hip hop.
hip hop dx – its in the name dickheads!
if u wanna hear about other genres, go to the mtv website.
anyone who has a problem with that – choke on a dick
ROFL AT KRIME!!!! unlike u bitch boy, i am from the UK where the gorillaz are from. I was listenin to their first album before u even knew they existed bitch so don’t tell me what i do and don’t know.
Listen to this fuck boy, keyboard warrior ass nigga… Hey genius, HHDX also has done articles/reviews for Erykah Badu, Gil-Scott Heron, Janelle Monae, even Justin fucking Beiber, and COUNTLESS fucking artists who arent exactly considered “Hip Hop” but are OBVLOUSLY Hip Hop-mixed/influenced. & If you’re from the UK then you should REALLy know how heavy Gorillaz is with the hip hop. Some of their biggest hits all had rappers on them.. Basically what I’m saying is that, if it’s on here(a hiphop website), then its here for a fucking reason homeboy! From what you can tell, there ARE people on this site who are interested, me being one of them… Gorillaz are better than A LOT of the bullshit rappers they be playin on here. The reason why I even like Hiphopdx is because they show love to more of the underground/lyrical rappers, AND because they show love to other genres too… So shut the FUCK up next time, G.
keyboard warrior?? how exactly?? Was a threatening anyone? was i talking about how hard i am? no, all i said was that gorillaz are NOT hip hop and havin a couple of bars from old forgotten MCs doesn’t make them hip hop.
i think u r wats called a dick rider for gorillaz. Those weird cartoon fuckers could fart into a trumbone and u wud be on here talking about how that was a great way for them to support underground hip hop.
eat dick
fuck all yall bitch ass comments
