Atlanta Week without Jermaine Dupri just couldn't happen. That's like having the NCAA Tournament without the North Carolina Tar Heels.
For most of the past two decades, when JD hasn't had one of his productions on the radio killing the airwaves with spins, it's because he was in the studio working on at least five different hits, with 1. Confessions by "The best R&B album of this decade, which did wonders for the city musically. It set us apart once again to show the world that ATL is the new Motown." 2. CrazySexyCool by "It continued to keep the ATL in the forefront of urban pop music and is the biggest-selling urban female-group album." 3. Crunk Juice by "This was the stamp to let the n---as know crunk was real and not a fad. It turned Lil Jon into a rock star and made R&B artists want to make crunk records like Usher's 'Yeah!' Which leads into my next album ... " 4. Get Crunk, Who U Wit: Da Album by Lil Jon "This was the beginning of everything that's going on now. The word 'crunk' came to life and created a true underground ATL movement." 5. Life in 1472 by Jermaine Dupri "This was the beginning of ATL swagger; the true introduction of Jay-Z to the South and the most classic hip-hop record created 'Money Ain't a Thang.' " 6. Soul Food by the "This album shows the real diversity of the city and a glimpse into what ATL sounds like now." 7. Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik by "Southernplayalistic was the first classic rap album to come from ATL and the eye-opener for other cities that our time was coming." 8. Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below by Outkast "The biggest rap album from the city and the biggest rap group left in hip-hop. Another huge statement that got us over that 'ATL is in a slowdown' hump. No!" 9. Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 by "Not the first look at ATL street rap, but the most successful and the one that opened the door for what dominates ATL now." 10. Totally Krossed Out by "This was the biggest rap album from the city until Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below." This report is provided by MTV News
