Daily Hip-Hop News:Jermaine Dupri Appointed President Of Island Records

Jermaine Dupri
Universal Music Group named Jermaine Dupri the new president of urban music for Island Records today (February 7).
According to Billboard.com, the hip-hop mogul, who has produced hits for artists such as Mariah Carey, Usher, Bow Wow and Da Brat, is set to take over the position at Island, after vacating his post at Virgin Records. As previously reported by SOHH, Dupri recently stepped down from his position as president of urban music at Virgin, apparently after the lackluster sales of Janet Jackson's latest release 20 Y.O., which Dupri co-executive produced.
During his stint at Virgin, Dupri was responsible for signing Atlanta group Dem Franchize Boys and also was involved with Big Boi's Purple Ribbon label.
Dupri will be reunited with Antonio "L.A" Reid, who is chairman of the Island Def Jam Music Group, as well as friend Jay-Z, president of Def Jam.
Jermaine Dupri Talks Presidency, Janet, Usher, and MC!!

Atlanta’s own Jermaine Dupri, called into the Funk Flex Show in NYC last week to clear up all the rumors about JD’s new job as President of Island Def Jam records. He talks everything from Mariah, to Usher, to even Janet Jackson. Now that Janet’s contract is officially over at Virgin, could she be moving over to Island Def-Jam?
I don’t know, but would that be a good look for the Island Def Jam to having to ballad powerhouse(ish) MC, and Pop Leader(ish) Janet on the same label? And whatever happened to that damn duet that was supposed to happen between the two?
Talk to Y'all lata,

Who will be the new President of the United States?
Monday. 11.3.08 11:50 am
I'm not sure, but I hope it's Obama. This country needs something new, and I feel he can bring that. I also think that our government needs new bright and young individuals around to help get new ideas for this country. Tomorrow we shall see who the people vote for McCain or Obama. No matter who it is this country is definitely going to change either for the worse or better.
President Obama seems like he's gong to remain the same. He knows how to have a little fun even though he's the President now. I get that type of vibe because of the way he was acting during the parade and the inauguration balls. You could tell that he was enjoying himself, and was really sinking in this historical moment. I guess that's why people of all races embraced him. His story was similar to our stories. We elected somebody who is real, someone who knows what it is like to be without. People assume that just because your a politician your rich, but most are not. President Obama only got a little money after his second book did well. Remember he took the community organizer job instead of the high paying job as a Lawyer. He wanted to service this country, and that's something great. I'm glad we elected someone who has experienced some of the things we've been through. This means that he will be more sensitive to the issues that we face every day. I wish the new President Barack Obama the best because I know this journey is not going to be an easy one. Pray for our new President.
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition.
Barack Obama
Someone had posted this quote on twitter, and I was trying to get a deeper understanding of what Pres. Obama was trying to say. I know this could mean a lot of things but I just wanted to hear what others think this quote means. I was thinking its shows that you have some type of ambition in life. It might mean something else to another person.
