  20. That was a interesting video. When they make you producer of the year or better yet, decade. I hope that video will be played at the awards show so that everyone can see that you had dreams and you did not quit until they all came true and you are still striving to make more come true for yourself and others. I have always wanted to be a singer but I never push for it. Eveyone would always ask me when I would, but I never did. Now I am to old to even try but I do love to see the new young artist that come out today. And sometimes I wish I would have pushed hard for my dream. Good luck to you and your future. And Dondria, keep doing what you are doing and keep on pushing forward. Much love to all you guys. (Muah)

  26. AWWW YOU WERE SO CUTE:-) & IT’S NICE TO SEE THAT EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE AT THE TOP YOUR MINDSET AS ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME.

  27. That was HI-larious!!! I’m in tears but I’m also having flashbacks to the awful gear I had in the 80’s, LMAO! I’m glad I was a kid, I have the excuse if not dressing myself.

    JD, your moms hair was on point and so was your Prince photo. Glad to see that your dreams came true.

    Everyone laughing needs to post their 80’s pictures on Twitter and facebook! I love 80’s pics.

  28. LMAO

  29. I just remembered that I still have a Right On! mag with N.E. on the front and pic of you wearing that white outfit in the back as an up and coming artist or something like that. LOL You never wrote me back either Jermaine…shame on you. LOL 😀

  30. Dang Jd yall took it back to the Silk x Leather days..loving the kid and play hi top fade u had..listening to this i got that u were determined from an early age and u achieved great things that u had set out 2..Thats very inspiring..Ur mom was in the healthfield a physical therapist..wow cool!

  31. I really enjoyed that video! Your mom must have birthed you when she was really young. She is beautiful, and looked like one of your teenaged friends. I had that MJ poster also!

  32. JD your wikipedia says you were born in 1972 and that you are 37 years old BUT if that video came out in 1986 and you were finishing high School then you must have been about 17 years old @ the time so that would Mean you are Actually 40 Years old.

    Am i Right?

  33. This is soooooo damn funny… I cannot stop laughing…. but JD, you’re living proof man… dreams really do come true. Thanks for the incite.

    Nisha
    XOxo

  34. Wow, living proof. This is cool and inspiring JD. Your moms being involved was cool too man.
    I can see there were some privilage with having a mom and dad already in the game but your own will and determination overshowers that.

  35. JD, if U would’ve posted the picture then asked if anyone knew which LTL was in the photo, I would’ve never guest. THAT IS PURE 80’S & A GREAT HALLOWEEN COSTUME SINCE!!!!

  36. YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!! LMBO!!! Dreams do come true!! Love Ya JD!!

  37. JD thats a sick video dawg!

  45. Man this just goes to show when u are focused in the beginning cant nobody stop you from doing and becoming what you want to be. This should be some good motivation stuff for some.

  46. Yo Jd wats good I go by Pevie a Chicago artist and I was wondering if there was a way to get my music directly to you. If you can shoot me a email @ [email protected]. I would appreciate it my dude. Holla

  47. Wow JD, you were very wise for that age.

    Your mom is beautiful.

    John

  48. I love it!! This is classic & inspiring! This is why you got to keep dreaming. What is cool is that you act the same way, very down to Earth from what I can see from LTL. That MJ pic was fresh and it gave me chills!! I LUUUV IT!!

  49. He never gave up on his dream and look at him now!!! Very inspiring video we need more videos like this to motorvate us youngin’s to stay focused in life..

    Jermaine – You should do another video like this but with what you see yourself doing 20 years from now!

  50. man look at that hair LOL, i see you never gave up good job!!

  51. Lol, i love it! hahaha the hair is killin em 🙂 hehehe

  52. It seems so long ago when that style was the norm, some of us are caught up in a time worp and sportin that same do. PS: JD, your mom is beautiful.

  53. 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.

  54. 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.

  62. 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.

  63. Haaaaaaaaaa, that look like ’88! Hmmmm

  64. hehehe!

  65. Ay JD, I love you to death but I was dying when u were talkn cause u remind me of chris rock in the video, then at 3:40 they put the camera on ya picture..LMFAO..U were looking like Prince..LOL! The whole video remind me of a Dave Chappelle skit..CTFU!! But your paid now so it’s cool to go back and laugh..U mapped out ya whole plan and executed it to the T!

  66. Imagining really does create reality 🙂

  67. WOW!!! That just inspired me to keep on going with my writing and go harder.

    YOOOO Anita… Yeah that “Prince” look was on. LMAO
    What up Kandi?! How you?

    Mr. Dupri. Since the age of 18 to you being…well I won’t tell your age. You are still the same cat.
    That’s crazy cool to see that you evolved but didn’t change into some a hole.

  68. OMGGGG JD that is crazy cool! Look how far you’ve come! hahaha

  69. WOW you look so much taller and skinnier there

  72. 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

  73. That was funny as hell! lol WOW!

  74. Wow JD that was funny. you and your moms talk the same and yall’s voice sounds the same. Its good to see that your mom and dad supported you and your music from the start. great video

  75. 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!!!

  76. That video really inspired me! you worked hard and spoke into reality what you dreamed of and more!

  77. the har cut had me rollin lol cuz i wasnt even born at that time lol overall cool vid
