I wouldn't put him in the ranks of Timbaland or The Neptunes, but Jermaine Dupri (along with Organized Noize and Dallas Austin) is responsible for shaping the sound of Atlanta. Lil' Jon came up under Jermaine Dupri and his first credits came on those So So Def Bass compilations. Kanye's first credits were on Jermaine Dupri's Life In 1472. There's an interview somewhere of Kanye admitting to biting JD's drums. "Turn It Out" (the song Kanye produced on Life In 1472) sounds like a JD production.
There's also the fact that JD produced the first female rapper to ever go platinum. He produced Kriss Kross and Bow Wow, but also worked with Biggie, LL Cool J, MC Lyte, and Lil' Kim. He's also got classics with Jay Z.
In terms of R&B, he gave us Xscape and Jagged Edge. At one point, Alicia Keys and Anthony Hamilton were his artists. His work with Usher, TLC, Monica, and Mariah Carey is classic and possibly at the forefront of his catalog as his biggest achievements.
With all that being said, how can you say JD isnt in the same ranks as the neptunes lol
Even MY Way is nearly diamond, he didnt produce every song on TEOM , but he did about half and ALL the hit records lol
The Neptunes dominated music last decade. Pharrell right now is everywhere. They helped put VA on the map (along with Timbaland, Missy, and Teddy Riley). "Grindin" was one of the most coveted and duplicated beats ever. They've produced monster hits for Busta Rhymes, Nelly, Ludacris, and LL Cool J and a plethora of others. They have classics with Jay Z. There was a point in time where almost every hit song on the radio was produced by The Neptunes.
As an R&B producer, JD is >>>>>>, but The Neputnes reach in Pop is >>>>. They had Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani on Urban radio. -

Yeah the Neptunes are the kings of singles...But then JD's hits run alot deeper than Usher and Mariah/R&B..JD was all over the industry up until like maybe '06...And he's produced alot of platinum rap..whether you consider the material classic or not that's besides the point.....The ? he produced was hitting for the times..and alot of it was going platinum/gold everytime he touched it..regardless of genre..not saying he's better than the Neptunes or Timb as far as sound goes..but when it comes to work/achievements..it's not laughable to say he's in their company or greater there.. -
Interview was dope as hell.

Got damn I bodied this thread. looking like a crime scene here

Not true. JD was part of that whole snap movement and dre hasn't had a run since before that.MoneyLuver wrote: »Dr. Dre had basically Ja Rule'd JD's career. That's why ? stopped checkin for JD altogether.
Let alone the fact that he was never being checked for like that anyway. I remember everybody first poppin off like it was yesterday. Missy, Bow Wow, ClIpse, etc etc

Jd didn't make not one Snap beat so do your history. Not only that but the public perception of Jd went from bad to worse after "Say What You Say".
