“Money Ain’t A Thang”
AUDIO By Contra™ on March 31, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Hip-Hop’s mini-mogul/magic leprauchun has been progressively developing a new skill.
It started with his remarkable ability to make more checks bounce than Nike Basketball (*swoosh*). But after much practice, he has perfected it.
He can now make any career, business, investment or record label crash merely by affiliation. We saw traces of this power affect powerhouses like Janet Jackson. Then he shut down his restaurant, leaving employees unpaid and p.o’ed. Def Jam got a whiff of the danger afoot so they booted him before his cancer spread. But Tag Records was unaware. The poor souls didn’t know. Until now.
According to reports, Proctor & Gamble plans on cutting TAG Records’ budget drastically in the near future. The company also plans on cutting off JD’s involvement with the label. When Dupri was let go from his job at Def Jam a few months ago, he was able to keep his job as president of TAG Records, but now his future at the label is questionable.
P&G experienced a huge loss in revenues with TAG’s sales dropping by some ridiculous figure like 23%. By the way, this was before the recession so don’t blame harsh economic climate.
The curse of Jermaine is powerful and scary.

Jermaine Dupri’s TAG Records In Trouble
I’m shocked!
i remember when Xzibity killed JD (aka the long lost Ying-Yang Triplet)…almost crashed the whip when they dropped that:
“Short people got no reason, short people got no reason, short people got no reason to liiiiiiiiiiive”
Q Da Kid was poised to be the next great one…
And he can hawk the shit out of some men’s body spray1
and no…i didnt mean to type Xzibity…had to get that out before you muh fuckers start thinking im ridin the west so much i give our rappers pet names
And to think, Pac Div almost signed w/this dude. Whew lol.
Maybe he should stick with producing R&B records. Because he ain’t doing too good with business or rap.

=============================
That ain’t been working too well recently either.

==========================================
Thank God that didn’t happen.
JD = Mogul FAIL
This nigga looks like the counter person at the BAPE store.
The bugged out fact is…..His pants were perfectly fine before he went in that door

JD needs to stick with song writing cause he is no good at check writing. Well he can write the checks they just don’t clear. lol

==================================================
ZING
ya’ll remember SunNY? didn’t JD sign him? he had that one joint “soul of a hustler”. i dont know whatever happened to him, but by the looks of it JD’s deathly grip squashed dude’s career.
He must have a helluva overdraft account
“On the corner with a cup nigga/beggin’ for change/on the sidewalk/hear me talk./money IS a thang” - 2009 JD remix (no JD, you can’t jack that from me, PAY UP!!!)
I bet his benefactors, co-signers, business partners, & folks who bankrolled his projects look at this fool and experience a range of emotions that range from irate to livid.
this dude’s putting up YouTube videos where he’s talking about his Air Jordan collection, flossing and shit. Fool’s always been on some “Nyahh-nyahh-nah-nah-naaahh, I got it & you don’t” steez
diminishing returns.
him AND Bow Wow are a waste of skin
Flea, let the man have it. unless you want him to make it drizzle a dollar’s worth of pennies on u
Kris-Kross might still be hopping around if it weren’t for this dude.
Doesn’t he looks as if he has a packet of sweet-n-low in his back pocket?! Heeeeeeeeeeeey! lol!!!

========================
lol!
I remember when this fool was on MTV Cribs, standing over his hot tub taum’baut, “this is only for the beautiful people”, and my girl @ the time was like, “shame, this lil’ dude can’t even get in his own hot tub”.
Too funny.
^^lolz @ flea
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
@ Contra: You’re right, I’ll let him have one last royalty check (in Canadian currency!!!). No more Benjamins, only Loonies for JD from now on.
Lol…black cat status. At least Bow Wow is still gettin’ paid
twoonies FTMFW Yo!!
“On the corner with a cup nigga/beggin’ for change/on the sidewalk/hear me talk./money IS a thang”
They repo’d all the cars/pawned the rings & chains/from the Bent back to the bricks/ Janet, don’t leave!
and for the record, I “used ta couldn’t stand” his pseudo-Big/Kim collaborations w/ Da Brat.
The biting was SO transparent, but no one in the industry ever seemed to call him out on it.
*ponders*
he prolly was the reason Whodini fell off.
Background dancin’ azz n*gga…

==================================
Cause he’s been a biter from the jump.
He made Da Brat the female Snoop. Bow Wow was Kris Kross minus one. Jagged Edge & Xscape were 112 & Total, respectively. And of course, JD went from being Webster to Puff to Jay-Z to Pharrell to bankrupt.
Good going Pac Div!
Titty-gate was prolly his idea….
hmmmm….
y’know, come to think of it….
I can probably blame my current financial status on having genuinely enjoyed a few of his songs, and….I dare not mention a fashion transgression I may or may not have committed
The Isaiah Thomas of the industry…
I dare not mention a fashion transgression I may or may not have committed.
=============================
I thought him wearing Chloe glasses was the gayest shit ever, but the whole backwards clothing thing…*The Worst !*
just wonderin’ … what spot is this BAPErechaun leaving in this picture?
cuz if you look closely in the background, there is some dude checkin’ him out from the shadows …
maybe i’m high. the weed be lettin’ you know when evil’s lurking.
we sure JD wasn’t the last editor of King magazine?
dude’s actually rockin Janet’s pants
lmfao those DO look like the jeans janet rocked in love will never do with out you vid.
OMG REALLY?!? I could have sworn TAG’s one artist whose single no one heard anywhere would have made it big; especially on a label named after deodorant!
And that’s not even his worst picture:

@ Amp: Yeah, a big “no homo” on those Chloe glasses!!! I remember seeing dudes rocking the bootlegs up here in Toronto because Jay-z said that the brand was cool. It ain’t cool for a ninja to be rockin’ no glasses with hearts in the lenses!!!
Hell I knew JD was lame when he nicknamed himself Don Chi Chi. He must not have any Jamacian friends; cause if he did they would let him know being the Don of the Gays. lol!!!
Thinking back I think JD was in Mike Tyson’s corner when he lost to Buster Douglas. He is a bad luck Leprachaun. lool!!!
He probably runnin’ to Usher like “Remember the hits, let’s do it again.”
Usher: get the fuck from around me nigga. I flopped last time and you recorded me and my nigga Michael Baisden clowning Chris brown them. Fuck you nigga, go holla at Jagged Edge.
