JD Says Usher Seems Disrespectful
If you want Jermaine Dupri to produce your record, you better call him and not the other way around. In a conversation with VIBE, the producer explains why he hasn’t worked with Usher on his latest album and reuniting with Mariah Carey So so disrespectful.
There was some talk that you were going to executive produce Usher’s latest album Raymond v. Raymond. Why didn’t it happen?
Well, I didn’t really want to be executive producer of Usher’s projects after Confession. Me as a producer, it’s kind of hard for me to go back into people’s projects when I gave you your biggest album ever…you sold more records than any other artist in this decade based on that album and now I have to ask you am I the executive producer of your next album? That seems disrespectful to me. Obviously, I’m looking at something different than everyone is looking at it whether it’s the label, the artist, management… whoever it is. I’ve had this same conversation with L.A. Reid, because I’m doing Mariah Carey’s album right now. And on her last album, I didn’t have one song on there. But I did Emancipation of Mimi and she sold more records than she sold in the last five years. What part of the game makes y’all not call me? But I’m not going to keep sticking my neck out. But I don’t feel like I’m supposed to ask to produce anymore. People are supposed to come to me and tell me that I’m the executive producer. That’s why I get more kicks working with younger artists.
Cocky As Fuck But Midget Mack Has A Point
True, dude is mad cocky but everything he said was the truth, Confessions made Usher a superstar
he’s got a point
i think its a lil funny he says that he “gave” usher his biggest album…when he only produce 3 tracks on the whole album. I agree with him that ppl should be beggin to work with him but he definately didn’t GIVE usher his biggest album he just helped
i said this like a week ago on a post those are his biggest artist he not Hiphop and he telling the truth becuz not only was this usher album a fail but the last usher album was a fail
if You in RNB JD is that guy becuz Monica went to dude and her shit about to hit gold and Mariah Carey is stupid for going to Dream and triccy for the whole album Dream and Triccy they are single producers not Album Producers they make hot singles and ringtones JD is that Guy in RnB Him and Neyo can guide your album to sucess not just a couple of songs
I wouldnt let him handle my rap career unless i was 13-14 but if I was Chris This would be the nigga I would be calling Right Now not trying to bully radio station DJ’s and having a nigga with the same drum kit on every beat
Chris trying to go to wayne When he need to be hollering at JD becuz he get yo shit sounding right even if he dont produce a song like how he did with Monica he just told her what songs were right and which were song he has an ear for shit like that Chris need to holla at that nigga pronto before his Im going to bully every dj for not playing my record antics really get him a Ban
@will is spot-on…..
old salty ass nigga
@thebullfrog
when he means exec produce he helps usher choose what songs to keep and get rid so he did give usher his biggest album becuz its obvious Usher without Jermaine exec title dont know how to do that it was a Jamie Foxx Song featuring TI last year that usher turned down to put on his last album and the shit was a hit going like top 20 i think and Usher had his vocals on it but didnt put it on his album see shit like that is where jermaine comes in at
and its not only that look at the producers Usher is working with Pollow who leaked a Song that Usher didnt want to be release yet becuz he wanted Gucci mane Vocals on there and Polow does the exact opposite by having Jeezy on there like at least you can get a better nigga than Polow a nigga who leaks a song without your approval Same thing happened with That fergie and Nelly Song she thought the song was for trina vocals and she in there referencing Trina and its Nelly Song then he leaks the Keri Hilson remix where she disses Ciara and beyonce without Keri Permission
THAT MAKES SINCE..BUT LIGHTINING DOES’NT USUALLY STRIKE THE SAME SPOT TWICE..LUCKY AZZ MIDGET..
@frontrunner
yea I thought chris career was over but i gurantee he link up with JD JD will have his shit rite and maybe he can help that nigga fix his attitude
I get where he’s coming from. Cocky but still… I understand.
@TYBO2020
JD production is like the female who you always fucced with but never made anything official with thats what his production is like when an artist is down on they lucc they go see JD then after they blow up off his help they forget that nigga like if JD helped me come out with an album like Confessions I wouldve signed to the nigga Label or management something
and Mariah Carey Crazy Ass was out of it and JD brought her bacc like he have helped so many underdogs its like why isnt anybody sign to this nigga label Bow Wow signs to Cash Money when the last hit Bow Wow had was Shorty Like Mine,Fresh AzImiz,Outta My System and all them bitches can be credited to JD and He produce the Like You song and Bow wow goes to a label who doesnt even have Mannie Fresh anymore and Mannie Fresh is the nigga who produced the song for Bow Wow
alot of niggas disrespect this nigga JD he knows how to help Bow Wow and Rnb artist like I said if I was an RNB artist or a lil kid lookingt for a deal that is the nigga I would be looking for Lil Chuccee and Twist wouldve went gold by Now under JD real talk
WELL JD IS EXTREMELY COCKY, BUT HE DEFINATELY HAS A POINT…MIMI LAST CD STINK TO HIGH HEAVEN…USHER CD WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE…LUCKY IT SOLD PRETTY GOOD THE FIRST WEEK…BOTH OF THESE ARTIST NEED HIM AND B. COX TO PRODUCE REAL “R&B” SONGS!
AND I AGREE WITH SOMEONE COMMENT ABOUT CHRIS BROWN…YES BREEZY NEEDS TO HOLLA AT JD AND JUST PITCH A TENT IN SOSO DEF STUDIO…SEEMS LIKE BREEZY FINALLY UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF HUMBLE YOURSELF
EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO WITH WHO’S HOT AT THE MOMENT, BUT THAT’S NOT ALWAYS THE RIGHT FORMULA
like Imagine how much more money Jermaine can help Justin Beiber get
Usher wasnt the highest selling artist of that decade…Eminem was. Get your facts straight JD
Jermaine Dupri’s in the Guiness Book of World Records as the most successful R&B producer OF ALL TIME (Kanye Voice).
He’s far from one of my favorite producers but that doesn’t mean I cant recognize he’s one of the greats
“you sold more records than any other artist in this decade based on that album”
False.
Eminem sold more records then anyone this decade.
Lol. In otha words, “I want ya’ll to ride my dick, not the other way around.”…LMAO!!! On some real shit, he’s kinda right. Those albums were dope because of what he contributed to ’em. The other albums hhe wasn’t on were truly ass like 2 butt cheeks…
JD GOT SKILLS FOR REAL
NIGGAZ DONT GIVE HIM RESPECT CAUSE HE ALL SHORT, THEY BE LOOKIN OVER HIM.
SHORT DUDES GOTTA TRY EXTRA HARD TO GET THEIR RESPECT, IM GLAD IM TALL.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK HIP-HOPERS!!!!!
I fux wit JD tho. His production, especially R&B production is always on point. Him and B. Cox.
sucks that jd couldnt get bow wow out of that lil phase.
i think he was talking about r and b, after all that is the genre he was talking about
@ will
cosign
JD has a very valid point and i agree with him. Mariah and Usher suffered big time not working with him on their last joints, not him. Now perhaps they wanted to venture off and work with other producers but that shit didn’t work for them, as Bow Wow. Perhaps theres some behind the scenes business reason why they didn’t holla at him cuz I’m sure JD is asking for much more money than The Dream did for Mariah’s last album but JD deserves whatever hes asking for cuz he makes it happen. All of Ushers albums were executively produced by JD prior to his last shit and they were all successful, and now no one even cares about Usher.
Is this the end of Oceans 7?!?!?! Say it ain’t so!!!!! LMAO
JD is saying the truth!! Same thing with Bow Wow. As soon as bow wow tried to work with some1 else (other than JD)…he caught a MAJOR BRICK. and then tried to come back but it was too bad. The damage was done haha
Sometimes I truly feel like a lone wolf or a one man wolf pack. Like I feel I dont need no friends or no one just me against the world. It’s hard to explain but i just feel like this.
I feel like i got no true friends. Just tonight there was a party for some girl who ive known since grade 3 and guess what not a single person told me about it, and i wasnt even invited. i text my friend asking what hes doing tonight and THEN he finally mentions it lol. then my other supposedly best friend asked me if i wanted to go. i said i couldnt drive cause i went out to another family dinner beforehand and i had some wine and my parents wouldnt let me drive so I asked if he could drive. he tells me sure call him back later. I just called him and guess what he’s at the party and he said he’ll call me back later. knowing him he won’t rofl. not mad, I truly now know I have no true friends and even if a person seems like your friend he still might snake you. I dont even know if I should call him out on it tomorrow if he doesnt call me back.
It always me who has to call people to see if they want to do anything, people never call me. and when they do it usually involves me helping them in some way (driving, getting weed, etc)
i dont want to associate myself with anyone I know right now in life besides my family. Ill still say hi whatsup and all but i just want to slowly distant myself away from them cause i know they aren’t truly my friends. i just gotta grind it out till summer of 2011 when ill get into university and hopefully meet new people and get some actual friends and get a new start.
Honestly the only thing I look forward to in life nowadays is hitting the gym and doing progression raiding on WoW (srs). I just want to hit the gym everyday with a vengeance and maybe one day when the haters, snakes and “friends” see me they will be like wow he looks good hes so jacked I wish I was with him in the beggining and Ill be like come at me bro (srs)
Like its suppose to be one of the best times of the year since im in grade 12 and got prom and graduation soon. thing sucks though cause i wont be graduating im coming back another year of HS to fix up some courses etc. and I dont even know if i want to go to prom since i hear its overrated and **** and its like 100 bucks then i need to go through all the trouble to find a good looking prom date etc.
Any other homies feel like this sometimes? and what would you guys do in my situation? I mean it could be my fault but wtf…
Not mad at all though. I dont mind surfing the web on a friday night. I bought some dvds and **** too so I plan on watching a movie or 2 later tonight.
JD is the Dr. Dre of r&b, plus he goes it in on the hip hop side from time to time.
JD got a point, but at the same time he needs to realize that other artists have the right to do their own thing, regardless if its a hit or miss.
Let ’em flop….then tax the fuck out of them when they try to get back…..easy fix.
i feel JD…hes 1 ov tha best and has tha track recoed 2 back it up
hes very underrated,i personally dont think hes cocky,but hes short so he always has a point 2 prove haha
but now they kno,if it aint broke,dont fix it…
and y should he h ave 2 beg an artist 2 make them good?
does that make them seem kinna ungreatful?
correction:Eminem sold more records with the Marshall mathers Lp than usher did with confessions
now I think about it Usher has two good albums 8701 and Confessions and JD is the exec producer on Both of them shits
then remember when Bow Wow tried to go on his own with that album which i cant even honestly tell you the name of the one with That Birdman song
like Honestly Bow Wow has been on 3 different labels 4 if you count the cash money deal which i dont really think is official the point is he been so so def then no no def then bacc to so so def then bacc to no no if you notice since he been doing this shit his career has been a roller coaster selling 3 million with his 1st 2 albums then selling only 500 K on his 3rd in 2002 when 50 cent and Eminem was still selling 10 million when niggas was still buying music and alot of himes didnt have a cpu yet especially in the hood then his 4th one he gets bacc withg JD sell 2 million FreshAziMiz is a Hit Next Album he sells a million and gets a number 2 records his highest one then he goes bacc thinking he can do shit without JD goes Sony and goes with Faceoff and New Jacc Shitty Pt.2 which JD helped with but didnt exec it i mean Bow Shitted on JD twice then a 3rd time when he puts Cash Money deal in contemplation with a So So Def deal so i dont blame jermaine for not hel[ping bow wow as much
real talk i say JD find a new talent and put all his work behind him becuz alot of this people he help forget him when they at the top
is that Kobe in the You Played Yourself Section LOL HAHAH WTF he look like the tall dude off the 007 64 Game
that nigga look he bleached a Freddy Kreuger outfit
WHO THE FUCK DOES HE THINK HE IS? DR. DRE? gtfo Gay-d
@lil d(no homo)
Fuck them niggaz jack, just start stacking yo chips & keep fuckin wit the gym. it’ll get greater later!!!
LIKE DESPO SAID : ” SHORT NIGGAS ARE THE BEST BBEST BBBEST, GAYA LOVES EM CUZ SHE SAID, WHEN U TO TALK TO THEM, PUT YA HEAD DOWN ! “.
f**k that! nigga doesn’t have a point? thats the problem with MOST niggaz in this world ESPECIALLY these industry kats. EGO! Ego stops good music from being made. Ego stops niggas from gettin money. Ego ends friendships. Ego burns bridges. Ego f**ks EVERYTHING. Pull your head out of your own asses. I UNDERSTAND what J.D. is saying, but that doesn’t mean it’s right. Ego.
smh.
Oh. and “You Played Yourself” is STILL waiting on that Shyne post.
Didn’t Kobe and Lakers go up 2-0 on their way to the Finals AGAIN last night? Kobe’s ACTUALLY doing photo shoots (albeit looking gay and uncle tommish in that particular pic), while SHYNE is the biggest flop in the history of hiphop. That’s not a euphemism. Not an exaggeration. The BIGGEST flop in hiphop history! Still no blackout. Still no You Played Yourself. SMH.
he should have done something, cuz urrrshers latest album was kinda wack…
JD has plaques to prove his point. I have no problems with a negro tooting his own horn…as long as they can back it up with plaques and awards. He has both.
[…] over at Rap Radar No Tantrums […]

JD is responsible for Usher’s Career cause My Way, 8701 and Confessions were his biggest albums and he executive produced all of them.
JD is right but lets be honest when was the last time JD made a classic ??
Usher has Will.i.am to thank for his fastest top 10 entry on the Billboard Hot 100 in 12 years.
Usher will up his Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 count to nine as “OMG” is set to move to the top of the chart to be released tomorrow morning (May 6).
Single Review: Usher Featuring Will.i.am, “OMG”
“OMG,” which features vocals by will.i.am, lifts 6-1 in its fifth week on the chart, prompted by equal 35% increases in both radio impressions and digital download sales, according to Nielsen BDS and Nielsen SoundScan, respectively. The track is the Airplay Gainer for a third straight week (up 18.5 million listener impressions to 71.8 million, rising 14-7 on Radio Songs) and claims the Digital Gainer crown for a second straight frame (up 57,000 to 217,000 downloads to lead the Digital Songs list).
Since Usher first led the Hot 100 on Valentine’s Day week 1998 with “Nice & Slow,” no other artist has outpaced his No. 1 production. Mariah Carey and Rihanna have the second-most chart-toppers in that span with six each. Usher last held the No. 1 spot for three weeks in March 2008 with “Love in This Club,” featuring Young Jeezy.
On the Billboard 200, Usher’s sixth studio set “Raymond vs. Raymond” dips 5-6 with 48,0000 units (down 8%). The album became his third consecutive No. 1 debut when it entered the list four weeks ago.
I’m not condoning Jermain’s delusions of grandeur but the nigga DOES have a valid point.
south still wins.
haha,i fucks with JD ,he said,what part of the game doesnt make you call me?
lol
and nothing wrong with being cocky,mayweather style, money money moneyyy
Hate all the fuck y’all want but you know JD is the shit !! If his executive production puts you back in the game, you owe him a call. He don’t have to prove a DAMN thing to anyone.
‘OL MIGHTY MIDGET GOT A POINT!!!! USHER IS AN ARROGANT BASTARD!!!! THAT’S WHY HE FELL THE FUCK OFF!!!! HUMBLE PIE U EGOTISTICAL BITCHES!!!!! HUMBLE PIE!!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Did anybody realised Dupri didn’t mention Mariah’s “E=MC2”? Yes, he was part of the production team but since it didn’t sell well I guess he left that out of his statement.
Usher Usher ,,,man..Usher truly does not have an ear for an “Initial” HIT…He has to be guided to a song..Dude wanted to turn down “U make me wanna” and more hit songs…JD had to near twist his arm to do “U make me wanna”>>>>the song that put Usher in orbit..
The stuff he’s been doing lately is synthesized Lady Ga Ga style stuff..Usher is R&B with a hint of hot party joints(well ,,he used to be)…..
Both fellas have tha EGO bug,,thats why they won’t pic up tha phone..EGO has them both imprissoned in their own material shell..TOO bad ’cause the boyz were Magic together..
Again,,Its amazing how Usher can’t pic a hit song by himself…..Raymond vs Raymond?..It’s a DRAW…no winner…
[…] OMG, Usher’s back. Yersterday afternoon, he and will.i.am performed the number song in the country for middle America on the Oprah Winfrey Show. The nerve, right JD? […]
