I'd go dance at talent shows, and because I was young I had the upper hand on a lot of other crews. People thought it was cute. I used that to my advantage.
From Jermaine Dupri
I wanted to feel like an artist for once in my life. I wanted to use other producers for respect, to let them know that I listen to other people's music and that I'm just not out here on my own page.
I go to clubs and if I notice the DJs are playing the records faster, then I'll push the beats a little on the next record I make. A lot of people don't know how to watch out for things like that.
Because I was in Atlanta, people didn't realize I'm one of the real forefathers in the game.
All the records I've made have pretty much been big club turntable records. You need to feel the rhythm.
