    Vlad has no sense. Taking beats from Jermaine Dupri who was a DJ for Silk Tymes Leather (which most people probably never knew) would not have done anything for his career. Vlad’s comment (even if not intentional) was nothing more than a diss to Howie Tee, because a young JD at that time wouldn’t have changed anything.

    • @f8c3themusic
      @f8c3themusic Рік тому +5

      It’s subjective. It may have catapulted him a little higher. But he didn’t make a bad decision. He was loyal to his home team and still had success.

    • @ODK321
      @ODK321 Рік тому +1

      I think it's more about relationships. You never know what will happen with people or where life will take you or them. Ed could have continued his career on So So Def in the 1990s if that would have happened, who knows? The thing I think Vlad is saying is build relationships. I don't think he was dissing Howie Tee

    • @creoleDJ
      @creoleDJ Рік тому +3

      Well, Dupree HAS produced plenty of hits for numerous hip-hop artists (including Jay-Z), so maybe Vlad felt that he could’ve made a hit for Ed. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    • @jackjill8129
      @jackjill8129 Рік тому +4

      He wasn't just their DJ, they were his first act before he got QT (who would later become Left Eye of TLC) and Kris Kross. I said that to say JD had his fingers on the pulse of some big things early on. Who knows how it woulda played out, but I agree Vlad shouldn't have said it in such a matter of fact manner.

    • @jackjill8129
      @jackjill8129 Рік тому +3

      Yeah because not too long after this he produced on TLC's first album and he produced Kris Kross. JD is top 3 most underrated producers in my opinion. His name doesn't come up enough in those types of discussions. But on the flipside maybe it wouldn't have gone anywhere. It's one of those things where we never know how it woulda played out.

    Man imagine if the label let Ed dropped the OG “The Mission”! They basically wanted Ed to be one of those good clean rappers like Kid N Play 🤦🏾‍♂️. Ed would’ve gotten street credibility if that was on the album even if it wasn’t a single. I wonder if Ed thought about putting that in the album and not a single at the time? “Come On Let’s Move It” and “The Magnificent Remix” was already big hits
