That second one was fukkin fiyah. I’ve never been a fan of his, not into much RnB at all really but i see him as much more of an RnB guy than Hip Hop, like Timbaland.

He kinda got overshadowed by Puff in the 90’s

but dude has always made HItS

Yeah, the difference between the two is that Puffy was a star, a showman.

Jermaine not as much.


But Jermaine was right there with him in terms of impact in the era as an executive and producer like Puffy. Plus, Jermaine could write songs and make tracks.

Usher started with Puffy and couldn't do anything with him.

Jermaine got Usher and the rest is history.

Puff= better entertainer and showman
JD= better songwriter and more hands on producer

jermaine has never been an original.
he will wait to see what's hot and jump on it.
Dre: The West Coast sound is his.
Premier: Pretty much the Gawd of back pack rappers.
Timbaland: Hands down the most original producer in HIPHOP.
Pharrell: you know it's a Pharrell/Neptunes beat....no question.

dupri had hits but he has no signature sound.

This was dope. People really sleep on JD's skills as a songwriter and beatmaker. I know Puff gets all the credit for being a "producer" but JD actually writes lyrics and makes beats. Made a lot of stars and repped for the ATL when no one was doing it outside of The Dungeon Family.
