Jermaine Dupri interfering in music
June 17th, 2007
Jermaine Dupri got away with singing on Mariah Carey’s albums, and nobody flinched. But the producer didn’t want to press his luck on the new Fabolous album, From Nothin’ to Somethin’, which dropped June 12. Dupri produced the track “Don’t Let Go,” which features T-Pain, but Fab told last week that the producer was really the first choice to croon on the chorus. “JD was actually on the hook, but he did the audio-tune to his voice,” Fab said of some studio tricks they used on the chorus. “I don’t think he wanted to really be on the hook though. We had to figure out who we could put on there. Who’s better than Mr. Audio-Tune, T-Pain? That’s Mr. Audio-Tune right now.” What ever the story is, why can’t producers just stick to their jobs and let the singers and rappers do theirs. It ain’t mean that if you are a music producers you can be a singer as well. If you think you have the talent and the voice minus the techno digital mixing then why not try it by producing a solo for yourself.
