Jermaine Dupri Rates The UK Rappers
Jermaine Dupri visited with Tim Westwood during his 1Xtra show live from Miami Superbowl weekend recently. The rapper talked about the parties he was having for the big weekend, how Westwood is also “Livin’ The Life”, his view on UK rappers Tinie Tempah, Boy Better Know, Wiley and Chipmunk. “It sounds like you have a real music movement going on over there,” JD said. Part two has Tim talking to a local sports talk show host mostly, but they did mention the Janet Jackson Super Bowl breast flash of a few years ago that overshadowed the game, which Jermaine said “would have been nothing” had it happened in London. The third part has Westwood talking about how he’s been ordered by BBC bosses to come back home on Monday, which would’ve meant he had missed the Lil Wayne going away party, with JD convincing him he had to stay in Miami the extra day.

Jermaine Dupri: Obama’s Made People Become Politically Engaged
Jermaine Dupri weighed in on the start of President Barack Obama’s term and what he views as his first big move. “Barack Obama has done what none of the other Presidents has been able to do,” JD writes over at the Huffington Post. “Not Clinton. Not Reagan. Not no one. He instilled caring into the bodies of people like me who used to think it didn’t matter either way who was in charge… People are so politically engaged with this new president we have a nation of backstreet drivers and it’s always gonna be that way. They’ve got something to say every time Obama does something. They still need to let him have his lane, but I guess it’s healthy to make some noise if it comes from a place of caring. I’ve never heard so much conversation about a president in my lifetime.” Read more.
