Diddy vs JD Verzuz (?)

[Chi-Town B]

A better match up would be JD vs maybe Pharell

 

[BDP™️]

you REALLY think Biggie's records aged the same way as..........."Jump"????? A

And they haven't lasted through decades?

Jump is a classic record man

dont do mental gymnastics to convince yourself otherwise lol

Nah Pharrell and Timbo makes too much to not happen

 

[God_Body]

A better match up would be JD vs maybe Pharell

JD would get BODIED.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

you don't think Biggie's impact has lasted long enough to have kids aware of his big hits, no pun? Not saying he's the most relevant to a 16yr old but....way more than 'Jump', no?

Jump is a classic record man

Yea Pharrell is some final level boss shit but he should see Timbo in a Verzuz

 

[thefrenchwood]

Leave Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo alone.

They are in the same weight class for sure but JD catalogue too deep for Pharrell

JD literally been making relevant music since like 1991 bro

when we talk about longevity and relevancy in this game…

its only 3 niggas that can claim that

Sean Combs
Jermaine Dupri
Andre Young



so again all this “JD aint got enough” is fucking bruh

niggas just really dont know black music enough…and its ok

Not saying he don't but to me his hip hop records are underwhelming when you go up against the Puff's and Dre's and Puff can match JD's R&B songs. It's not that JD is wack cause he's not he's just not fucking with the true heavy hitters in the game. Those two are tier 1 whle JD is Tier 2

 

[Chi-Town B]

You really winning a versus playing Bow Wow songs

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

But he has better numbers than them two across the boards

Plus u ain’t never hear no ghost producing ghost writing shot bout JD

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

You really winning a versus playing Bow Wow songs

He doesn’t have to play a single bow wow song to compete w anyone

 

[BDP™️]

Ehhh JD credits begin in 90 .... Pharrell credits begin w Rump Shaker in 92

After rump shaker when was the next time Pharrell was relevant as a producer…like bonafied hit…

and please dont mistake this question as me downplaying pharrell.

You have a point. JD wrote Kriss Kross's rhymes and that album went multi-plat.

P Diddy always had ghostwriters.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Niggas clown Bow Wow and Kriss Kross but y’all gonna be dancing to Dre playing Eminem records?
Lmao

 

[Mister]

Seems like Diddy is getting credit for all of Biggie's music in here. What songs did he actually produce for him?

Jermaine Dupri
Ghostwriter: Nas, Skillz, Jay Z
Song In Question: "Money Ain't A Thang"

Producer, label boss, A&R, executive; these types of titles, when piled upon one another, don't usually add up to "brilliant lyricist." It's little surprise then that Jermaine Dupri used ghostwriters throughout his recording career, but at least he used some of the best in the business. Skillz name-dropped Dupri on the infamous "Ghostwriter" track, while both Jay and Nas are rumored to have lent their pens as well.

You’ve ghostwritten for the biggest names in the industry, such as P. Diddy, Foxy Brown, Ma$e and Jermaine Dupri. Do you feel like your ghostwriting has hindered your own career?
Nah, I feel like it’s balanced out because I’ve made a lot of connections that have turned into other opportunities from songwriting. I definitely don’t feel like it’s held me back. I know what I’m good at. I’m not good at crunk music. I’m not good at hyphy music. I’m not good at Baltimore club music. I make good hip-hop music for people that appreciate hip-hop music. That’s it.
