BURTAL!! he has no shame, the funny thing is he tries to make it look like its not pre-recorded

Facpalm!!

Those scratches are part of the original song. FF to 1:34
Watchwww.youtube.com

embarrasing, How can these frauds sleep at night?

Doesn't look like he's trying to scratch to me; just cueing up the transition to the Jay-Z song.

I must be missing something...

he wasn't trying to scratch, he was more worried about the jay z track falling off beat.

Me too.

What are you missing? The mix was pre recorded, He didnt mix in empire state of mind it was done for him and he pretended to mix it in, he never touched the mixer, hence he was fakin the funk.

i don't think he tried to fake the scratches, everyone knows those scratches

Ahhh... ok, now I see. The comment about the scratches in "Boyz In The Hood" threw me off.

i just watched he did touch the mixer but Im pretty sure it was still fraudulant

HATER-AID?

I dunno... he definitely moved the crossfader, and that's pretty much all you'd need to pull off that mix.

Inconclusive.

he mixed in empire state of mind on the right deck and he slide the fader to the right. Don't think it was pre-recorded

LOL he may have been drunk and couldn't mix. It was just a bad transition to jay-z.

Same here. and I don't think he was even remotely trying to fake the scratches. He was mixing and grooving to the music so his movements were in beat with the music.

I think people are too quick to jump the gun when they hear of a celebrity DJing. But the truth of the matter is JD has been DJing for quite some time now. Years before Scratch Live came out he was doing guest spots at clubs here in Atlanta.

I know that...Thats what I mean...He also made it pretty obvious by stepping back a bit too seems like. It doesn't look like he tried fakin it at all.

ok wait I thought you were talking about the scratches and not the blend...He moved the fader over though.

i think his not a fraud looked convincing to me, liked some of the tracks :) the girl in white looks hot!

You can look at a celebrity DJ and straight away you can tell if they belong behind the tables. Its just in the motion of there body and how relaxed they are when using the equipment. For my money, JD definately knows his shit. I might think his tracklist is pants but hey, thats another thread.

I think it was from IT Crowd the fake djing originally :)

3 mixes, 2 spinbacks. Nuff said.

i dont get you people sometimes... he just moved the fader over how does that make him a fraud... i sense alot of jealousy in the forums sometimes... dont get upset because people much rather see him dj than you..he used to dj a long time ago.. no he isnt craze but he doesnt suck.

Naw he's mixing. & at least he's on beat and not clashing vocals. Those horrid backspins though, ugh. What gets me about this, is that not too long ago, this fool was talking shit about dj's saying they were no longer needed to break new shit & that they should not try to be superstars but know thier role & play the back. Fuck that & him.

Yes, he did X the fader but how would know when to bring it in like that?? with or without cue markers?? that record on the right deck was going for sum time b4 he crossed the fader. Still looks fake to me still. if i can learn sumhin new hear im willing to learn...

After reading the crate kings interview, I second Mike_P....Fuck JD!....You should never bite the hand that feeds you.

Headphones?

Cue points?

Srsly?

So he was saying the dj is dead but now his djing? hmmmmm

i dont know this guy nor care really

instead of lurkin bout just do a lot better than him :) not hard 2 do

If you don't know who Durpi is ninja that is most likely why you've missed the whole point of this thread.

Dupri*

ey, but sounds like he's having the most fun he's had in a while... that's what it's about meng!

i just don't know why he says "DJing has taken me places i've never thought of"...dude has more money than everybody

on this forum atleast

all i care is he's hitting Janet and he looks about 5ft tall.

I'd rather see him spin than pauly d though.

Money doesn't make you omniscient... I'm sure DJing actually has taken him some places he would have never gone were he not doing it.

yeah at clubs in LA, NY, Houston...oh wait...

i think you meant omnipresent too

^ yeah, that too :)

Maybe they were clubs/venues he never thought of going to before.

errrrr???!?

nailed it lol
playin on his celebrity name and not his uber dj skills, look i can make it spin backwards, ima dj :)

yeah when he sleeps with janet he has a body double jump in for him and do the moves as well

its still more than most real DJs do now adays lol

meah.. never liked JD. who cares anyways lol

I don't see the fakin'.

+1

if it aint jungle i aint listenin lol

amen to that LOL....

got any mixes online? :-P

sounds like dude cut out the middle man on the video... from what i heard dude ''mixed'' all the records on the 1st chorus of the song BUT at the end of the video his new single gets played up until the video ends with his song still unmixed and going strong... umm... o and by the way those scratches are from boyz n da hood and you can clearly see him touch the fader to mix the tracks... lame mix but drunk ppl can care less... dj's are other dj's worst critic

One day my TV was stuck on MTV's sweet 16 (i couldn't find the remote, feeling lazy and sh*t...LOL!!!) and the party that was thrown for the kid was DJ'd by JD. So as the show is going on they are flashing what everything cost. So when they show JD dj'n they flash on the screen "to have Jermaine Dupri be your DJ" would cost $500,000. Immediately I'm like WTF!!!! Thinking I was seeing things I immediatly got up and ironically found the remote inbetween the cushions on the couch. I have digital cable so I hit the rewind button just to confirm, cause I was like it must of said $5,000 (still to much but i'm sayin') and for sure it said $500,000. I'm like R U SERIOUS!!!! I know celebrity DJ is going to get some extra paper but that much? FOR JD!!!! Who's doing that...That's WAAAAAYYYYYY over priced...And I'm never the hating DJ but this disgusted me....*sigh*!!!

uhhh huhhhh suuuuuuuure

i do think they overestimate value on alot of the things on that show. If i had to guess they just ask and put what their told to to run up the total

I think JD is actually djing and probably does a great job. Everyone looks pretty happy. Hard to tell in the video how his actual mixing skills are, but based on what we saw, he knows his phrasing, knows how to do a spinback, I bet he rocks the party. Funny how he was playing so many west coast records. If I had my choice of celebrity djs to play at my party, I'd choose JD over just about anyone else....can't knock his hustle...he was even playing some dance/electro.

From what ive seen most good producers should be able to hold their own on the tables. I mean hearing temp and pitch and phrasing is all part of producing a tape so besides the physical touch of spinning they should have a great foundation. Thats why most producers start off as DJs and move into production

agreed.

Fixed.

^^Haha!

JD has been a Dj for YEARS, he's not faking. Watch the video again, and at this 2:10 mark we're discussing you can hear where the mix starts to give him trouble.(2:08) Forward to the babies during the Clinton Sparx chune, watch his hands during those random cuts, not only are they him but that would be a lot of random shit to remember just to fake a set.

I only needed to watch it once to know he's not faking, scratch that I didn't even need to watch because it's a known fact that JD dj's from time.

JD knows how to DJ and if you did you research you would have known that he was Kriss Kross's DJ/Producer.

Nothing impressive, but he IS djing.

he is not fakin u can tell . (no milli vanilli)

if you can't tell he's legit mixing by the first shot, then you have bigger issues with your dj skills than the fact that jermaine dupre is getting back into djing.

All the hater comments are funny...because while the haters are hating, JD is still a multi-millionaire who get better gigs + make more money than all the haters combined. So alas, continue your hate...I'm sure it doesn't bother him one bit.

DAMN some of you mother fuckers are just straight haters!!!! weather he is feeding off the fact that his name is big or the fact that he started DJing before alot of us started who the fuck cares. If you dont like his shit just do it your way and stop your fuckin bitchin FUCK!!!!
Oh and let me guess everyone that decided to hate on him regardless of why, I take it everyone that has ever heard you DJ liked everything you played and every blend you put together ? Come on now stop the fuckin bickerin and just be real with your damn self and DO YOU!!!!

I spin at that venue and had to miss his set to spin at another club in the casino.. From what I've heard from other DJ homies is that his set was pretty structured, but definitely live. JD has been in the game producing for over a decade and it doesn't surprise me that he can mix records, especially on Serato. From the vid, looked like he was doin his thing, and everyone I talked to had a great time that night. Mission accomplished in my book.

jd has been djing b4 most of you on here, this shit is funny cuz you motherfuckers are mad haterz. wtf. I would like to see some dumbass start a post about dj quik djing. wait imma have him do that. it would be funny to see some stupid person say dam look at dr dre on the tables djing. that will be a field day. and b4 someone post it dre and quik was dj's b4 rappers. must be a newbie that started this post.

also notice how his mac book pro has so so def sticker's on the corner. thats not a fraud.lmmfao at the post.

clill out dude.

how many dj's does it take to change a light bulb ?

10

1 to change the bulb and the other 9 to talk about how the original was better :)

Saw JD up in Seattle not too long ago, like late April. Nothing to impressive but the crowd was really into it for the first hour. Lots of slam mixing, lots of microphone work like, " I go by the name of Jermaine Dupri!! " and " This how we do it in the South!! " ( I'm from FL BTW ). Not bad, good time, but nothing to write home about.

Only hiccup, he played " Party in the U.S.A." bout an hour in and the crowd was NOT feeling it. Switched songs quick. Funny, but alot of crowds up here like to get it CRUNK!!! YEAH!!! ( Sorry, couldn't help myself...)

LOL i love that joke!!!

Im shocked to see that so many people think that the man has enough talent to produce some of the best artists and albums of our times but dont think he has enough skill to beatmatch 2 of those tracks and move a fader

hahahah woord upp!
