Jermaine Dupri’s Strip Club Research

In an article about Jermaine’s Dupri’s surprising lack of nomination for Producer of the Year at the Grammys, he confirms what Tamara Palmer discusses in Country Fried Soul: Adventures In Dirty South Hip-Hop, that strip clubs are like research centers for many Southern producers:

The strip club, Mr. Dupri earnestly explained, serves as his de facto research lab. Here, he said, where skirt hems are high and inhibitions are low, he is better able to assess what really makes a crowd move, and to discover new music. "In the strip club, the music is more grimier than what you hear on the radio," he said. "It’s like a D.J. in New York playing a mixtape."

    Jermaine sounds ridiculous…. Are we really expected to believe that his reasons behind visiting tacky strip clubs, is really done in the aid of research, in order for him to gain musical inspiration??? It kills me to say this but people within the world of Hip Hop sound stupider by the day.

    Actually, I think there’s some truth to what he’s saying. Check Tamara’s book if you get a chance.
