Jermaine Dupri

I just think that people are, because of the way artists get paid from streaming now, I think that I don't know how much you can be able to monetize records.

Because now it's getting lower and lower for the artists and the songwriters, what they're making off of these records.

So it's like, I think that they feel like, let me just sell my catalog to one person

So that I can always go to just one person.

I don't have to go through all these loops and these circles to get my money and all of this.

If I ever want to go back and buy it myself, that may be an option.

Because I know the Dream, he sold what he's worked on already.

Yeah.

But now he has more shit coming down.

Everything new is his.

So it's like...

I kind of feel like, let me just put all my shit right here, and then one day if I want it again, I have to just go through one person to get it back.

So you born and raised in Houston, right?

Born in Miami.

Born in Miami.

Born in Miami, raised in Houston.

Raised in Houston, Texas.

You worked with Beyonce early on her first demo.

We don't look back at that split enough because that was kind of like... It was wild.

Yeah.
