I cringe when the make generalized statements about 21-24 year olds not knowing about older hip-hop and loving the trap sound. I'm 22 and know PLENTY of people my age who don't subscribe to that way of thinking. we love tribe, outkast, rakim and Pac the same way we love Cole kendrick and drake

I hate when older folks make statements like that. We listen to older Hip-Hop music because I parents grow up listening to it and also with the help of the internet when can discover old Hip-Hop songs that we've never heard before. I love music so I'm always searching for old and new music to listen to.

Love how hot 97 switched up the camera viewings going behind ebro so you can see everyone !!

the issue about the age thing in hip hop is that young is not necessarily an age, but a feeling and a social awareness. Hip hop was born out of a rebellious spirit. Rebellion against the status quo has no age. rebellion against archaic social norms has no age. But the problem is hip hop does not respect when artists grow up, nor does it support evolution in terms of rebelling against DIFFERENT issues than what an artist may have been rebellious to before. That's why artists can't make as much money and tour for years as, say an older rock group. Rock n Roll was and is a rebellious art form, but those fans recognize that it is not about age, but about a spirit, a way that you carry yourself, and learning how to evolve within the culture.

+fadethechannel I agree and disagree at the same time. The real issue is that in every overarching culture, you have a bunch of subcultures and cliques. For instance, you can say that "hip hop does not respect when artists grow up", but that only depends on who you're talking to. Maybe the young may feel that way about some artists, but people like Diddy, Jay-Z, Nas, Em and such will ALWAYS have universal acclaim due to how HUGE and popular they were and are! On top of that, artists from the old school are STILL doin' their thing to this day. Kurtis Blow might now have a major radio hit right now, but he's still touring and gettin' money. In addition, every artist is always a hit away from being back on the radio, and that's only further cemented by the fact that the internet exists. Kurtis Blow could drop a GIANT hit tomorrow out of nowhere, and it won't matter how old he is if the record is poppin' like that. 2 Chainz didn't blow up until he was in his 30s, Em didn't blow up until he was in his mid to late 20s, and Jay didn't blow up till his late 20s too. Great artists have longevity in the game, and even though Jay is 46 now, if he drops a single tomorrow, EVERYBODY is gonna check for it. Also, because of the internet, it's easier than EVER now for the youth to do their research and learn about the old school, as well as for older cats to find out about the new school. The internet is the great connector of all cultures and age groups!

nmryda Jay-Z, Nas, Em are the exceptions, not the rule...and Jay-Z skipped the line with his last album and went platinum with Samsung. 2Chainz caters to the younger demographic. But we're talking about a few hip hop artists versus a myriad of other genres like country and rock that continue making music and selling out large venues. Hip hop doesn't accommodate for evolution on a larger scale. It is about the here and now. Yea there is the internet, but the young folks are looking for the new and next, not the old and back then (for the most part).

I'm not "The Trap Music Advocate" , but people don't understand that Atlanta club music isn't going anywhere, because the community supports it without the media having to tell it to.

Great interview. JD is severely underrated.

Dope interview with JD. I think he makes a lot of valid points about the state of hip hop and music in general.

Hip Hop will always have the New York core cool (or swag as they say), no matter the sounds. NY is Hip Hop. Hip Hop reinvented itself, the sound has grown since its birth, as all cultures and forms of music do. NY birthed Hip Hop. Therefore, it sonically reflected New York's environment at a time in its stage. However, nothing remains the same forever. For something to grew it must not remain stagnate. The sound changed as a result of others becoming INFLUENCED by it and making it their own. This led us to today's sound. There are additives, yet the source still remain. Southern hip hop is NY music all grown up... I"m from the NY area but currently live in ATL. When I would visit the south back in the 90's niggas was not dressing like they do today or using certain terms. Now, they use terms I heard growing up in NY, mixed in with their own regional terms and style. There is a heavy NY influence to the point it's hard to tell who is from here or not...Hip Hop grew old, had children, and moved south, like many NYers do. It's still NY...but with a southern twang...JD was a major player in bringing hip hop to the south, exposing the "southern sound" to others commercially. He is a grammy award winning legend. However, I believe he is overstating Atlanta's influence. I live in the south because of the cheaper cost of living and slower pace. I have no desire to sound or dress like they do down here (Nor do I believe other NYers do). The music and culture at its core is NY, mixed in with southern influences, for a happy medium. But no one is dying to sound country. ijs

welcome to Atlanta was fire here in LA and I was a kid at the time lol

good interview

This was a great interview because of the guest

J.D said he brought Bow Wow out about 14 years ago, but it was actually longer than 14 years ago (2002) He was already around in 2000 at the age of 13 with ''Bounce With Me'' & ''That's My Name'' for example… ;)

Welcome to Atlanta song...ln my opinion ,brought u to the city and let u get a vision of how it is there.👍👏

I wish they'd only interview OGs. There's always more structure, direction and sense. Guess its a respect thing. This was a really nice one man. JD dropping so much knowledge. S/O!!

I appreciate what JD has done for HipHop both the good and the bad. But I agree with Ebro, at some point the quote on quote southern trap sound will have its end. I kinda feel like its on its last leg anyway I'll give it another two, three years at top until something else comes along that's a iterations off of trap. Its either that or hip hop will finally have its actual "death" like rock has over the past decade.

I met JD at the Bazaar/SLS while he was on his red lit hoverboard. I'm 5'10.5'' and was at eye level. Cool dude tho!

DAMN THAT MOGULS SHOW SOUNDS SICK

I would debate that to cater to the younger market is a mistake (MY opinion)...they don't buy songs... their on one thing one week, off the next, easily board and sometimes reckless..I would rather hit that 25+ market that has disposable income...other industries like Movies(R rated), Fashion, Comedy, Clubs that don't rely on them do just fine but the music business is in a state where nobody is buying...older ppl can't relate and younger ppl have to ask for the money. btw..correct me if I wrong hip hop has always been older cats rhyming (bars come from knowledge and experience) but maybe that's for the historians

Hated, overrepresented and saturated with absolute bullshit!! ATL became like the CAPITAL city of GARBAGE!! Its like is this same city that gave us Dungeon Family?!!

+AQUAPHREESH193 interesting way to put it. Atlanta is still putting out big artists though regardless of whether the quality is what we want from it. The artists get that big because they are already hot in Atlanta and the south before they make it big. So by the time the rest of the country hears it for the first time they have exploded. NY artists need to learn how to market their sound outside the tri state to make themselves bigger. As for hip hop not being the same, a big part of it has to do with the advancement of the culture. The hip hop culture of the 90s was living in the drug and crack game with many of the artists being from that culture. At the end of the day the drug dealer tells the best stories. That same youth element is not involved in the streets anymore like it was and has absorbed a variety of cultures in terms of where they get their style, fashion, music from.. While this is a good thing , I believe this is why the music has changed and the substance is not the same in terms of NY. Also there is less variety in the mainstream as a whole in terms of different kinds of artists(I'm talking mainstream success not underground).. But a big part of why NY hip hop is not at the forefront is like JD said NY doesn't have a sound anymore and lacks producers who are creating the sound for new artists to launch their careers off of. Too many artists trying to pop off but what we really need is the same level of enthusiasm from producers. In order for that sound to be crafted correctly and artists presented in the right manner, the producers need to be steeped in NY culture and born and raised here so they understand how to guide it. And by producer I'm talking about someone who knows how to craft records in terms of structuring a hit. A producer should be a song writer just as much as they are a beat maker so they know how to take an artist and create the right sound that is unique to them.

Matt McClary lols to build on what you said i think the hip hop landscape has changed drastically! Back in the mid to late 90s and even EARLY 2000s that rough, rugged, hood shit like DMX, Ja Rule, Mobb Deep, LOX, etc that shit was considered to be the cool MAINSTREAM thing! But it changed when the landscape became more dance orientated hence the "snap" movement of Atlanta lol its is what it is but really that dance shit goes way back to Miami Bass! Groups like 95 South, Tag Team, etc so Atlanta has BEEN about BOOTY MUSIC but here's the difference: Number 1 those booty ATL jams of the 90s were way better than the snap shit of the 2000s, Number 2 Miami Bass coexisted with the rise of Outkast and Dungeon Family, meaning there was ATL VARIETY on the radio and tv!!

@MattMcClary

+AQUAPHREESH193 Agreed. I think that gritty sound has to do with where the culture itself was. Kids now are not selling crack and living in the streets to the degree of the 90s. A lot of those same people moved to the suburbs and their kids grew up there so the way of thinking is different and thus hip hop culture is changed. You can't have a gritty NY sound if the artists themselves aren't from that cloth. There may be artists out there talking that street talk but they need to focus on expanding outside the tri state so the rest of the country can hear them.. This all has to do with a independent mindset in terms of moving on your own and understanding the business. Also has to do with needing a variety of sounds (street record, club record, records for the ladies) so the artist can hit all demographics

Matt McClary Im a 90s feen and one of the reasons for that is because artists had VARIETY back then! There is nothing wrong with talkin about sex, jewelry, and the streets but its HOW AND HOW FREQUENTLY an artist discusses those topics! 90s artists knew how to discuss OTHER TOPICS unlike these new skool clowns!! A solid 90s hip hop album gave you a COMPLETE MEAL! A solid artist back then gave you party tracks, gangsta tracks, soulful tracks, social commentary tracks, etc These new artists for the most part lack that SUBSTANCE!!! And even sadder is seeing some of the OGs DUMB DOWN and LOSE that substance they once had in the 90s! I understand that artists gotta keep working and gotta eat, but damn it sucks!!

i feel JD on comparing older and newer being done more thoroughly. it's like when Mayweather said he was better that Ali, but he is not doing what Ali did, under the same pressure, of the same environment, against the caliber boxers as Ali did. So, i respect Mayweather for what he has accomplished up to this point, and that's praiseworthy, but before that comparison, compare each equation thoroughly. One thing that make early hip hop artists honorable is that they demanded the respect for, and laid the foundation for an art form to be a trend now, at a time when it was not respected and therefore not a trend; flaws and all...

JD is a quarterback that hasn't thrown a TD in a long time.

People have to understand that artist, like athletes, ect & like all things in life, need time. Time to grow, develop, evolve, ect. You can't critize ppl for taking too long to "smash the game" and then critize them for not taking time to do their research and study the game. That's why u got kids who "smash the game" at these younger ages and we never hear about them again. Yet, we want to speculate and critize the artist who make it later, at a more mature age because they have been studying the game and really understanding music. Everyone has their "Prime Time" ... and we've seen it time after time.. 16-21 ain't nobodies prime time, rarely do we see success at those ages and it continue afterwards. Not to say it hasn't happened, but it's a rare occasion in the culture of hip hop. You can be an industry expert, have had all the success but if the artist cannot continue then obviously the formula no longer works. That's why we haven't heard from Bow Wow and all the ppl he mentioned... you can have all the QBs and Coaches u want, if ur artist can't deliver after a hit or two, then obviously the only reason they "smashed the game" for 3 seconds was because someone else was the driving force behind that glimpse of success.

I graced plenty of strip clubs growing up both in the south and in NY. But since you are taking from what JD said and not speaking based off experience growing up in NY..Nevermind. LMFAO If strip clubs is what ATL added to hip hop then you win. lmfao...if I manufacture a pen in my factory and that pen travel other places, 10yrs later it might look different because of its travels but its still a pen that was produced in my factory. Hip Hop has gon many places and many regions have added to the sound and culture but it will always be NY cool. We gave other regions style and grace and a gift called Hip Hop so that they can express their cool.

That charm bracelet kept throwing me off the whole video.

Pittsburgh has its own sound I don't think we sound like anybody but Pittsburgh
