    JD,

    What I find most amazing about this old video is that, your personality now is true to who you were then. In other words, there are so many (too many) people that work so hard to be like other people; copying their styles in how they move, how they talk, etc. There is no originality from their core that continues to stay with them throughout the years, based on their own personality.

    But with you, it’s quite apparent you have always been the same guy, never replicating or trying to incorporate other people’s styles into yours.

    All one has to do is watch your body language now on “Living the Life”, your hand gestures, your overall personality in word and thought – and the exact same personality, including all the same gestures and style of personality can be seen in this old video clip.

    It serves to show people how, believing in yourself and “who you are”, plus working hard to remain grounded to your core, will go further over the years to keep the success coming, than to take the short route and copy someone else.

    I really dig how every last detail of your personality in this old video clip is a true mirror of the man we see today. Although you may have grown as a man in many ways, the core kid from back in the day, is still representative of who you still are.

    Much praise for always keeping things true to yourself and YOUR style.

    WOW, THAT’S WAZZZZZZZZ SUP! I LIKE YOU SKINNY JERMAINE, I LOVE YOUR HAIR, IT’S DIFFERENT. I REMEMBER THE HAIR TOPS AND ALL. IT’S COOL TO SEE YOU THERE SAYING HOW YOU HAVE A SMALL LABEL PRODUCTION THAT’S NOT OVER SEAS YET, BUT NOW YOU COMPLISH THAT GOAL. SO ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. NOW I FEEL LIKE I CAN MAKE IT TOO IF I PUT MY ALL INTO IT.

    lol well weren’t you a skinny little thing!

    i love how you always knew that you were gonna get to the top-you said WHEN not IF.
    you have worked so hard to get to where you are and even though you are at the top and have influenced so many people in and out of the industry you are still working just as hard,if not harder.

    you truly do lead by example and you really should be proud.

    JD, this may be funny to alotta people cuz you was rocking the old school haircut and all, but I really appreciate you posting this. To me, this is one of the most inspiring things you’ve ever posted because it shows a young kid with a dream and a will. And because YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO DO BACK IN ’86! That part was crazy to me. It was like you were talking about what you do now, but it was over 20yrs. ago.

    Fuck some Tom Ford, LV, or Bape shit… That right is the most stuntingest shit you coulda posted.

    Thanks

    WOW (Flava Flav voice)!!! That is too funny! You were hella skinny and where’d you get all that hair? Lol! That’s nice to see a young man with a dream/goal and seeing you make it. Young people need to watch this and pay close attention! Old people too. Too many of us talk about what we want but don’t take strides to make it happen. Let’s get it people!!!
