When we interviewed Jermaine Dupri earlier this month, the hitmaker stressed that he’d be pulling out all the stops for the 20th anniversary of his So So Def imprint. And, oh was the he not lying.
Last night’s show at the Fox Theater in Atlanta saw the likes of Usher, Monica, Jay-Z, Ludacris perform, while Mariah Carey made a surprise appearance at the sell-out gig.
Watch a who’s who of Urban music celebrate with JD after the jump…

Da Brat mentioned on Facebook that she wanted to ask Mariah Carey & Tyrese to come out with her and i guess she was able to bring MC. I really hope this concert gets released to DVD! I hope INOJ, Ghost Town DJ’s, KP & Envyi, Kriss Kross all performed.

I am sorry but Rihanna has sold her soul ever since joining to Jay-Z’s record label, they call themselves the Rockerfellas I know its their clothing label, but who were the Rockerfellas? I think you need to do some research. Her hit single ‘Umbrella’ was penned originally for Britney Spears she refused to record after its hidden meaning and lyrics and her Christian faith. I am referring to under my Umberalla-ellah-allah under being symbolic of no Ellah which in Hebrew means God and Allah in Islam also means the same and she chants this several times. There is also a video of Rihanna confirming there is a deep hidden meaning to the song on youtube.
Beyonce has also since her debut sold her soul to the freemasons now she is just simply a puppet for them, I am certain they forced her to get rid of baby weight within 4 months to take centre stage to not lose her importance and of them conveying their message through her songs, Just take a look at Run the World what does this signify, new world order. Members of TLC have confirmed this indoctrination and mind control does exist by Clive Davies but they broke free and once the artist is no longer of the same significance they are disposed off, 1st by showing they have corrupted themselves stripping them of their fame and then killing them like Micheal and Whitney. The new world trade centre is almost complete signifying the world order is forming this very year of 2013 and this being a monument to signify this its all been calculated.

Monica does too much. She needs some coaching. She has a good voice, but she needs to refine her live performances. I’d never pay to see her show, might buy an album though.
