Jermaine Dupri Responds To Puff : I’m in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, Something He can’t pay for”

[KFBF]

. What do I think?

"I don’t think Puff would wash JD. I think it’s a pretty even match up if we don’t bring Hip Hop into it. But it’s only 20 joints so that don’t matter anyway."

So. Why would u think this thought process would automatically give it to Diddy? Are u losing site of what u initially said?

Have they agreed to "r&b" only parameters before? If they're including g hip-hop shyt JD doesnt really

 

[Kal-El]

JD my favorite producer of all time

I also said it doesn’t matter cause it’s only 20 joints. JD can def hang in there. I initially wouldn’t have been watching for a winner but more for the show cause that shyt would’ve been fun to me.

Poke of Trackmasters. This is a producer that Puffy has worked with countless times and him and the Trackmasters made some magic together. Now in this quote, Poke gives dude props and calls him a great a&r. But he also calls out the bullshyt and far as him getting and stealing credit. This the Trackmasters, not some internet nikka. Everyone know what it is with dude lol


Poke: “It’s no big deal [we didn’t get the proper credit for that record]. It’s not like Puff don’t know what he’s doing. He is—if not one of the all-time greatest—the best A&Rs in the business. He knew about putting proper elements together and making hits. He probably wasn’t thinking, ‘I may be fukking up some of these people’s lives by not giving them the proper credit.’

“Mind you, this is pre-e-mail, this is pre-everything being typed out. Stupid shyt would happen. Let’s say we’re working on an album and we did two songs. Then the artist goes and works with other producers. Then they want to do more records when they get to the tail end of the album and we do more songs. The first set of songs get a first set of credits and then the last set of songs gets a different set of credits; it’s two different pieces of paper that you hand in.

Puff goes in, he puts the proper team together, a hit record comes out, and he takes the [credit]. He’s the pool shark, he’s the best at getting credit. He knows how to seize the opportunity to make sure the credit favors him. - Poke

Puff does not create music. He pays people to create music. He's a producer.

So Easy Moe Be gets no props???

Biggie, Easy Mo, Premo ain't shyt. Diddy was the real genius

Puffy may biting JD all this time, because there wasn't any BAD BOY when this joint was out and JD was doing his alleged "Puffy impression"

This. People are just repeating narratives they read on the internet.

 

[itsyoung!!]

Just like everyone thought Jeezy would wash Gucci (this still best one to me) or Dipset would wash the lox, when you get into real catalogues puff cant fukk with JD on a verzus. He got nothing that tops usher and mariah. Biggie is Diddy biggest artist ever and he was never as big as Usher or Mariah


I mean yall listing Mario Winans and shyt in here, are yall serious? Have yall watched a verzus before? Like 5 people would recognize a mario winans song on instagram in 2021

[JesusFOREVER]

why is Jermaine so pressed to be in a Verzuz.. go sit the fuhk down

He hella annoying.. ol look at me, give me some flowers ass nygga..

He just wanna go at Puff to A. Prove he’s on his level and B. Get a bag

he’s already failed asking Puff directly and through shared peers, now he’s taking it to the media, next step should be using fan and social media pressure

 

[Champion]

Put some respect on JD's pen game.

 

[DaHNIC82]

The industry gonna side with Puff because he holds the most weight( Revolt, Ciroc deals) but JD been hitting that nikkah with facts

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

if puff added a whistle or him doing adibs he prodbly got a producer credit.. if he picked the beat or sample he got a credit.. if he was in the room he probly got a credit.. Hit man made the beat he got a credit for it... he's more Exec producer then producer

So If I m following your logic if mc serch did a versuz he could play illmatic and word life joints ?

This shyt aint even about sides. Like what's wrong wit yall? lol. The nikka Puff can do a Verzuz with whomever he chooses. He wanna do it with Dre. Dre don't wanna do it with him. JD wants to do it wit Puff. Puff don't wanna do it wit him. Where the confusion comes is when Puff told the nikka to go 5 for 5 on IG Live when JD CALLED him into the IG Live. And JD was acting too big to do it. Which is stupid. Because HE's the one who called Puff out in the first place. People making this shyt about who has the more talent when in reality. JD should think more highly of himself because if he feels he's so much better than Puff(he is in the technical sense). He should call out someone he feels is one his fukking level. Simple as that. Would I have like to see them battle? Damn right for the music and showmanship alone. Do I wanna see it now? Hell no because nikkas acting butt hurt and the energy wont be right. I dont know what people think in this thread or if they think im saying Puff has all this extra talent or whatever or even more talent than JD. Im DEF not saying that whatsoever. My whole point is about JD's placement in the 90s because of his shark biting. nikkas in here could say what they want but that shyt was blatant. And this is why these producers look at him a certain kinda way. It sucks because that nikka got a million hit records to his name. But he also ran his mouth alot too which is why Tim and Dre didn't like him. Im just pointing out to people that there is reasons JD is having a hard time scoring a Verzuz right now. And none of em is because he's from the south.
