This man is speaking on how influential he's been in the music industry . Outkast , although amazing , is only ONE group . This man introduced some of Hip hop and r&b's most influential artists to date . Everyone apparently has short term memory loss . Mariah is not Mariah without jermaine dupri I'm sorry . Usher , Bow Wow and TLC were bigger than life at one point . Not to mention Xscape and Da Brat . Y'all better quit frontin' on this man contributions and his legacy . He was the south at one point . FOH ...... Great Interview ........😳

Outkast wanted to sign to So So Def & look at all the acts JD help promote and become successful, that's why he feels he got more influence, he made sure everyone on his label got they 15 mins of fame or more.

The spawned the dungeon fam and goodie mo b, Youngblood, etc. But JD is speaking facts. He never said he sold more records or was a better rapper. He had his fingers in alot of peoples careers. Set aside kris kross and brat. This nigga production and remixes was lit. B4 Outkast there was silk tymes leather. JD gave birth and helped to alot of peoples careers.

C'mon ya'll. Jermaine Dupri is very influential, past and present, with Hip Hop and R&B! He was a big part of that culture that shaped our music into a great artform which keeps it relevant today. Trying to debate JD’s influence to a group of individuals like OutKast and the Dungeon Family is thinking waay inside the box. JD can say he’s more influential due to his multi talented success as a dancer, songwriter, rapper, producer, record executive, label owner, and a host of other achievements like reality shows, artist development, multi platinum hits with his labelmates and other established music legends. There's more to influence than just longevity and being a regional Hip Hop King.

The definition of influence = the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself. He definitely influenced all of he following: Kriss Kross, Da Brat, Bow Wow, Xscape, Jagged Edge, J-Kwon, Franchize Boyz, Bone Crusher, Anthony Hamilton, Usher, Mariah Carey, TLC, etc etc...not to mention all of the other artist he has worked with such as Biggie, Total, Jay Z, Snoop, Mase, Janet Jackson, etc etc...JUST GIVE THE MAN HIS CREDIT! His contribution and influence is undeniable!!!!

I guess having lived in Atlanta very little of this is news. I moved to ATL in 2001 and he had already been living there for years.

I am one of th ebiggest supporters of JD and all he has done. What I have come to be disappointed about is his need to remind people about what he has done. No one takes away from what you did with Kriss Kross, Brat, Xscape, etc...the question is what have you done in the last 6-8 years to even compare to that? Eventually you have to stop living in the past as it pertains to this music. We got all THAT great music from the 90's and early 2000's...what have you been able to stand on this decade? Less talking and trying to prove something and let the music speak for itself.

He is more influential. Jermaine Dupri had a hand in so much.

Benny and The Jets is hard!! Its where the MJB sample came from.

JD a Legend. Put some respek on his name

Nobody will ever admit the contribution this man has done for hip hop

If Jermaine Dupri doesn’t exist we don’t have Atlanta represented in Hip Hop. This is a fact. Same with the Mid-West (Chicago in particular)

I went to the SoSo Def Reunion at the Fox. There is Atlanta and then there is the Atlanta Metro area. Bankhead has a sound. SW is different than the West End. But true all connected. Organized did a lot for the sound as well. There is really no separation because in some way like he said everybody is connected. I think it needed clarity.

I’m not sure if y’all just don’t know what influential means but I’m with JD he opened the doors and worked with artists outside of ATL and blew them up. Also to influence would be to have others wanting to do something similar to what you’ve done, JD been doing that since the beginning. Outkast haven’t had the same measure of influence and that’s documented 🤷🏾‍♂️ Outkast still Kings tho

JD, in my opinion, is influential on the production tip and the stars he bought out. We're talking Kris Kross, Usher, Da Brat, he kind of put Mariah Carey back on the map with Emancipation of MiMi. He's influential on music as a whole with Hip Hop and R&B. But as a hip hop rapper, nah OutKast got that

JD had the magic to work with anyone. As far as the influence, he worked with a lot of artist and they rocked out of Atlanta. That's really not influence, more like if you want a hit then come to Atlanta. Outkast/Organized Noize developed the Atlanta sound. They made you want to come to Atlanta and learn about it. Bankhead, West End Mall, JJ Rib Shack Peachtree. You heard that stuff and you was like I want to go. That and the sound went together. To me that's influence.
