JD and Spitta's New Project: For Motivational Use Only. Jermaine Dupri and Curren$y have announced the release date for their eagerly anticipated joint project For Motivational Use Only. The two southern hip-hop legends are set to drop the album on April 4, which is a fitting release date because it falls on Curren$y’s 42nd birthday and also doubles up the ATL’s primary area code (404).
The duo stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about both their legacies in music and what to expect from the album.

3:38
when this dude texts me because it's
3:40
always positive energy and it's always
3:41
forward momentum it's always progression
3:44
right I've watched this man consistently
3:47
um do it his way as well become becoming
3:49
probably the most valuable producer of
3:51
hip-hop nah man we can't even put them
3:54
in that box music has ever seen uh you
3:57
could trace remember they used to have
3:59
the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon
4:31
[Applause]
4:35
you know we were talking about I was
4:38
explaining to people they said well why
4:40
did Jermaine Dupri feel the need to
4:42
consistently consistently tell us what
4:45
he's accomplished and I said he has to
4:47
because y'all won't he has to campaign
4:50
it cause y'all forget you know and when
4:52
he when he brings up all of these
4:54
different ways that he's impacted this
4:56
industry and impacted people's lives it
4:59
makes you you know it astonishes you and
5:01
so I want to say peace to this brother
5:03
right here
5:06
he works with the kids
5:09
he works with the kids man what do you
5:11
think with your latest biggest kids
5:13
success story what would it be that you
5:15
worked with I mean just the fact that
5:17
you've seen these kids come off the rap
5:19
game and now they they're in the
5:21
industry and people talk about them as
5:24
you know almost like they forgot that
5:26
that even happened I remember when I
5:27
remember when I brought lotto and I had
5:30
J.I and I had I think I had a deetranada
5:34
with me and we was doing you know we was
5:36
running around the city doing the press
5:38
and and people were like don't nobody
5:40
want to hear no kids rap and then I'm
5:42
like looking at it like now like oh yeah
5:45
he loved them now huh you think you know
5:47
what I'm saying so it's it's definitely
5:48
interesting to see that
5:50
um it's fun to see it too to know that
5:52
where it came from I mean so people you
5:55
know so that's that's what I do do you
5:57
think ageism is starting to become a
5:59
thing of the past in the rap game
6:01
because you know that's ageism because
6:03
they said they were too young to rapping
6:04
and you got the ones that say someone is
6:06
too old to rap up we seeing some of the
6:08
most biggest success stories of artists
6:11
who are older yeah but no it's still in
6:13
there though okay you know I think I
6:15
think that's that's one of the things
6:16
that needs to change in hip-hop is the
6:18
fact that people still
6:21
um treat young rappers like they don't
6:23
deserve to be around
6:25
um because I feel like the music could
6:27
be different if you allowed the energy
6:29
of the youth to to put what they
6:31
actually feel into the music I was
6:33
watching um Mr Cottage Park talk about
6:35
when he found Soulja Boy and how Soldier
6:38
Boy told the record company that he
6:41
didn't want to be on BT he wanted to be
6:43
on World Star and they was like wow why
6:46
do why would you want to be on World
6:47
Star instead of bet and it was just
6:51
showing that his mind was in a different
6:52
space right so so it's the same thing
6:56
with me when I came with crisscross was
6:57
the ideas that I had that was different
6:59
than what everybody else is and I felt
7:01
like his other kids out there younger
7:02
people out there that nobody listens to
7:04
right they just keep giving them the
7:07
same old let's go to bet some kid might
7:10
know us a different site out here that
7:12
you should be on where the kids are at
7:14
and it'll help his record better than
7:17
it'll help the previous records so I
7:19
just feel like they got people gotta
7:21
stop doing that like you know they got
7:22
to stop and they gotta allow it but but
7:24
we got a lot of fixing to do because of
7:27
you know um people still don't
7:29
understand
7:30
how you're supposed to deal with young
7:32
artists yeah right and you know so
7:34
people you know I see people saying
7:36
stupid [ __ ] to me oh you love working
7:38
with little boys I mean come on man come
7:40
on man I don't I don't know you know how
7:44
you
7:47
but you know that's that's what I'm
7:49
saying you guys just changed the mindset
7:51
of it so people can understand it
7:52
because I think a lot of people stay
7:53
away from it because of that and people
7:56
think that you know people are
7:59
pedophiles and all this other stuff out
8:01
here it's funny because crisscross
8:02
thought I was that when I when I first
8:04
met them crisscross thought you was a
8:06
pedophile yeah they was like we're not
8:07
they didn't know who I was yeah right
8:09
and I was approaching them like yo what
8:12
y'all do and they was really standoffish
8:15
like [ __ ]
8:20
the mentality and that that's what they
8:22
said they didn't know what by the way
8:24
you gotta think crisscross when I met
8:27
them who's 12 two 12 year old kids or 11
8:29
and 12 year old kids that didn't want to
8:31
be rappers that didn't care about
8:33
rapping right that doesn't exist in the
8:35
world anymore but at this time them
8:38
somebody asking them to rap yeah they
8:41
was like for what plus you you dressed
8:43
them too right yeah but I mean they was
8:44
dressing they was cool they already had
8:46
that style they was in the mall but I'm
8:48
just saying as far as like approaching
8:50
them and asking them to go to the studio
8:53
sounding like Chinese to them what's the
8:56
proper way then would you say to
8:57
approach I mean I did it the problem
8:59
okay but but I'm saying it was just a
9:01
time it was just in a time frame when
9:03
young kids weren't thinking about
9:05
rapping yeah that wasn't their mindset
9:07
to get out of the hood that's
9:09
interesting right there Jermaine Dupri
9:11
is here once again I say his name uh for
9:14
motivational use only currency is here
9:16
too I'm curious currency I feel like
9:19
I don't know you could teach a class by
9:21
your career yes and the decisions you
9:23
made like in a real real college Higher
9:25
Learning uh curriculum I see um but but
9:28
you also have to make adjustments I'm
9:30
sure as time with them music change
9:32
sound change
9:35
um even the format of Music changed
9:37
um when streaming came uh did you jump
9:40
on that immediately how did you learn
9:41
about streaming I just realized that we
9:44
weren't doing like in stores at FYE and
9:47
[ __ ] you know like because I I was I'm
9:49
from the old school like the whole time
9:51
when I was young I was with Master P and
9:54
them and they would go on these uh these
9:56
runs and go to all the mom and pop
9:58
record stores they go everywhere and
9:59
that's how I knew you know how many
10:01
units what they was doing I watched them
10:03
do the one sheets we need to give them 5
10:06
000 silica CDs you know [ __ ] like that
10:08
so all of that and then it just wasn't
10:11
like that no more it just went away
10:15
the people teach you how to load your
10:17
music you taught yourself yeah tell
10:19
myself because things change like that's
10:21
all I didn't even know like when you
10:23
said what I did I'm like oh yeah I
10:25
probably could teach a class on it but
10:26
the class would pretty much me being me
10:28
standing there like well I just was
10:30
rolling with the punches uh-huh
10:32
everybody go home you know what I'm
10:33
saying like I don't know that was
10:36
because there was no other way to do
10:37
this [ __ ] except for through a computer
10:39
so I told my brother like I needed a
10:41
computer and he stole the MacBook like I
10:44
got and I got a Macbook you know what
10:45
I'm saying is your brother in the room
10:51
and I've told
10:54
this [ __ ] gave me a message from the
10:55
government like once everything started
10:57
popping for me I was actually in this
10:59
building with Dame Dash in them with the
11:04
MacBook and a [ __ ] I opened it to
11:07
pull up some [ __ ] and it was like this
11:09
computer belongs to drop contact agent
11:12
so-and-so all this [ __ ] hell yeah shout
11:16
out the video later on that night and
11:17
chucked it off the bridge
11:27
because they said it was like we've
11:29
considered flagging you for extra
11:31
attention since your schedule is so
11:33
public and then they had like three
11:35
tweets from me like going to Boston to
11:37
get baked like beans like just
11:39
everything I ever said like where where
11:42
I was gonna go
11:46
because it started everything so yeah I
11:50
transitioned and I made the moves I
11:52
adapted to it to where it went I needed
11:55
a Macbook I got a Macbook I got rid of
11:57
said MacBook and then I got another
11:58
MacBook legally with my right money and
12:01
everything's been straight okay
12:05
I remember the stone Immaculate came out
12:08
um and um what else was the Canal Street
12:10
confidential I think that's about the
12:12
time you was did that freestyle did uh
12:15
when the stone Immaculate came out
12:16
that's when the sounds started changing
12:18
and and uh but your sound didn't change
12:21
yeah that's what I was gonna say bro
12:23
honestly the only reason it worked is
12:25
because people knew what they were going
12:27
to get from me the whole time okay if
12:29
you just stay yourself and stay true to
12:31
your sound or whatever you doing
12:32
whatever you if you're making clothes
12:34
like you know like stay consistent with
12:37
what you do and no matter what happens
12:38
like polo shirts still sell you know
12:40
what a polo shirt look like yeah and
12:42
there's been you've been the same shirt
12:44
every [ __ ] Easter your whole life you
12:46
know what I'm saying
12:48
but you know what it is and that's what
12:51
my music is like I know what dude gonna
12:53
do We're not gonna hit this [ __ ] in the
12:54
club but I know this shit's gonna be
12:56
cool so they [ __ ] with it it's good I
12:58
love it yeah come on man Jermaine the
13:00
pre and currency is here I don't know
13:01
when we're gonna get him back so that's
13:03
why I keep saying their names
13:05
what do you think I remember TI came up
13:07
and uh what we're talking about how
13:10
streaming came into the game and
13:12
um how at one point on the labels uh
13:14
just devaluing our music uh because of
13:17
it and they and they start owning the
13:19
infrastructure so you still no matter
13:21
what you had to go through their
13:22
infrastructure in order to get any type
13:24
of dividends what do you see the the
13:26
music business in this infrastructure
13:28
now people always say labels are
13:30
starting to become a you know uh less
13:32
important how do you feel it
13:35
um I think that it's it's they are they
13:37
are they becoming less important but um
13:41
to only people who are making their
13:43
music input okay like you know if your
13:46
music is not important then you probably
13:47
need a label okay that's what they do
13:49
that's what they do they start trying to
13:51
you know pay for this and pay for that
13:53
to make it look like the important music
13:57
um I I feel like that's what you you
13:58
know hopefully that's what happens out
14:00
in this in this Rush of new people not
14:04
going to labels and just they got to
14:06
make more important music really really
14:08
important music more important music
14:10
um for occurrence I know you got nah
14:12
because I I feel them and I'm thinking
14:15
about my buddy uh Russell the Russell
14:17
from the bay
14:19
and I'm thinking like you know like if
14:21
you create it like he's saying and it's
14:24
important then you just you monetize on
14:27
your own like bro it's like you get it
14:28
for me like it's not on you know what
14:31
I'm saying it's not not from this lady I
14:32
didn't go to this you can get it from me
14:34
and pay me what you think is worth I saw
14:38
him today say uh [ __ ] get like
14:40
pay what they what they could pay for
14:42
the album heard the album was like [ __ ]
14:44
here's a grand and paid more yeah so
14:47
like the the if you if your music is
14:50
important you can write your own ticket
14:52
you can put the music out on your own
14:54
labels in the sense of what we think of
14:56
with major labels is the one thing but
14:58
then there's like social def Jet Life
15:01
those are labels but it's actually like
15:03
it's us you know what I'm saying so in
15:05
the word label is is one thing but
15:07
that's what you mean by like suits are
15:09
becoming
15:10
like no more they don't count no more
15:13
because we figured it out like we knew
15:15
it the whole time but we also broke
15:16
their Matrix you know what I'm saying
15:17
yeah the ones who are the ones you know
15:20
so the labels are still going to live
15:22
because like you said there's a lot of
15:23
people who make unimportant music and
15:26
they're gonna have to find the umbrella
15:27
to sit under and have somebody to
15:28
convince you that it's important but the
15:30
ones who are the ones like we could just
15:32
write our own tickets and that's a good
15:34
thing yeah so this is crazy because JD
15:36
and again thank both of y'all for being
15:38
here I had a respectful random thought
15:41
about you on Sunday didn't know you were
15:43
gonna be here today it's a good it was
15:45
good I was at the New Edition concert
15:47
the Legacy tour and it was New Edition
15:50
it was um guy it was to keep sweating it
15:54
was tank and I was watching uh Teddy
15:58
Riley okay and just in awe because after
16:02
he did apparently the guy said he stayed
16:04
on stage with Keith Sweat and was
16:06
playing music and I didn't realize all
16:09
that history in that Legacy with him and
16:12
then right after that new edition came
16:14
out and you just popped in my head
16:17
um I thought about your legacy I was
16:19
like this is something Jermaine Dupri
16:21
could easily do oh yeah you know what I
16:23
mean like I watch new edition for two
16:25
hours with Bobby Brown with you
16:29
could do the choreography
16:32
yeah she definitely was doing it
16:36
but it was I thought about you because I
16:39
was like he could do this easily with
16:42
the r b hip everything and I always felt
16:45
like like you kind of shot no no I don't
16:49
know if shy is the right word but humble
16:51
in the sense that would you do it on
16:53
your own would you announce it on your
16:55
own would you put something out like
16:56
that to prop hopefully
16:58
receive your flowers like showcase it
17:01
because it was unbelievable I mean I I
17:04
did it I think see that's the thing when
17:05
he's when he when he spoke about that
17:07
just now the intro I do it all the time
17:09
but people don't actually really pay
17:11
attention to it because I don't actually
17:13
like
17:19
I'm thinking you guys already know this
17:21
yeah we just came in we talking about
17:23
the Ari Linux like if people don't know
17:25
I did pressure but I say y'all know what
17:28
this is at the beginning of the record
17:30
so I'm assuming today
17:36
yeah right and then do you know what it
17:38
is too JD I think watching 20 000 people
17:41
the other night when you see all that
17:43
it's different like it's just different
17:46
I think when you realize and you see it
17:48
all on stage like seeing all of New
17:50
Edition with Johnny taking a break then
17:53
Bobby Brown doing his solo then Bell Biv
17:55
devoted Ralph it just looks but yeah
17:57
cool it made me think of you yeah
18:02
wow about pressure it makes me now think
18:05
about
18:07
how we consume a lot of music and even a
18:10
much more bite-sized piece because
18:13
perhaps folks who are consuming songs
18:15
via Tick Tock a lot where it's just like
18:18
a 20 second snippet aren't catching the
18:21
beginning you know what I mean yeah but
18:23
I'm gonna say this even that like The
18:24
Tick Tock situation right so so
18:27
um the division record touch it right
18:28
yes
18:30
I did that song too right so when I keep
18:33
putting it up on Tick Tock I see
18:35
comments with people like Jermaine
18:36
you're obsessed with this song and I'm
18:38
like
18:41
laughs
18:43
I'm obsessed with this so much like
18:50
wow man and that's really crazy because
18:52
that song I wrote that song like the
18:55
words yeah and that's my voice saying
18:58
touch it so I'm sitting there like
19:01
oh damn okay so what I gotta do to make
19:05
sure y'all know this is my record like
19:06
it's division but it's me yeah you know
19:09
what I mean so I'm saying it's just I
19:10
just think that people have
19:12
a little bit of selective outrage when
19:16
it comes to JD gotcha they deal with me
19:18
differently than they do with everybody
19:20
else because it's right there in front
19:21
of you well I well just know I saw Teddy
19:23
Riley I was like oh yeah like I saw it
19:26
oh yeah trigger you want to get in there
19:28
yeah absolutely you know currency when
19:30
suede was giving me all those flowers
19:31
that required a Benadryl for you yeah
19:34
yeah I'm still recovering
19:37
what comes to mind is you are one of the
19:40
most prolific rappers like innumerable
19:43
amount of projects I couldn't even begin
19:45
to count them all don't try I don't I
19:48
have no idea how many either it requires
19:50
a calculator for sure but you know how
19:52
open you are about your life all your
19:54
experiences and sometimes I wonder like
19:57
is the artist just the same as the human
20:00
like how you do one thing is how you do
20:02
everything so with how much you share in
20:04
your craft is that how you are in your
20:06
business the same person yeah it's
20:08
exactly that you're able to share
20:09
emotions just like a woman yeah if I
20:11
have them if I'm in emotional about it I
20:15
guess yeah but a lot that a lot of stuff
20:17
don't really get to me so the things
20:19
that do get to me if it's heavy enough
20:21
I'm going to carry it from my house to
20:23
the car to the studio I won't fight it
20:25
in the booth and be like oh that's not
20:26
for that okay because that's what that's
20:29
what that's what I like about music like
20:31
it helps you relate with things you're
20:33
going through because you're listening
20:34
to artists who shared what they were
20:36
going through or something too you know
20:38
so you can't shut the door because I
20:40
wondered like say you had a girlfriend
20:43
and she's like yo why don't you just
20:45
tell me what's bothering you and instead
20:47
of communicating with her you would just
20:49
put in the song she's like okay I get it
20:52
that happens because
20:55
I'm I'm super clear like I'm it's I'm
20:59
transparent I'm gonna say whatever it is
21:01
but if you didn't receive it when I said
21:03
it to you and you didn't change you know
21:06
I'm saying all right bet then it's
21:07
probably going to get to the studio
21:08
because I told you and nothing happened
21:12
so that part of my life still [ __ ] up
21:15
but I'm going to the studio and now that
21:18
shit's about to [ __ ] it's about to
21:19
happen you know what I'm saying you
21:20
about to get it
21:24
in the studio I'm saying like I'm not
21:27
counting it but it's gonna it's gonna
21:29
happen because it's my life the same way
21:30
I'm a rap about it if if the car got
21:32
delivered or if I'm waiting on the car
21:34
to get delivered or something I'm gonna
21:35
say you know [ __ ] is about to
21:38
lose their spot you know like I'm gonna
21:40
write it yeah it's whatever
21:43
currency or here for motivational use
21:46
only is the project yeah there's a song
21:49
you know I actually have the project
21:51
before anyone else
21:53
[Applause]
22:00
yeah so I could talk about songs y'all
22:03
ain't heard yet I don't have one of
22:05
those owl buttons over here right I got
22:06
a cop
22:15
um
22:16
uh currency you talk about they keep
22:18
making these lists yeah but they're kind
22:21
of for getting me incredible albums that
22:23
I'm on yes and [ __ ] and like best best
22:26
record on this on this joint was this
22:28
but oh that dude made an album did he
22:31
make one because he didn't get on the
22:32
list he made one every month but it's
22:34
all right we're not gonna put it on
22:36
there because dude work hard he's not
22:37
tripping yeah I don't know what happened
22:39
they think you don't care I guess they
22:41
figure I'm just high enough I don't I
22:43
don't give a [ __ ] you know what I'm
22:45
saying they might do nothing read lists
22:47
you know what I'm saying but
22:48
I don't but what happens is my listeners
22:52
are pissed right you know and then like
22:54
be that's my buddy I'll post a picture
22:57
with me then I expect to get the [ __ ]
22:58
away from him like do you know he keeps
23:01
admitting you from these limb like down
23:02
you're right that he is doing that and
23:04
I'm taking this picture with this
23:05
[ __ ] you're right though yeah
23:07
all right you know but they just have my
23:09
back so I said that for them okay yeah I
23:12
said that for everybody who who pissed
23:15
off yo don't trip I do see it but it's
23:17
really not a big deal so if I'm not
23:19
tripping y'all shouldn't trip either
23:21
because I'm only worrying about y'all so
23:24
you're able to have a relationship with
23:25
someone like be that who is a brother of
23:27
mine yeah but a relationship with
23:30
someone who
23:31
is a leader in creating lists of this
23:34
short and you're absent and you don't
23:36
take it personal yeah yeah no because I
23:38
mean how many how many other people are
23:40
probably but I see people taking
23:41
personal and speak on it and I'm like
23:43
damn I would you know what I'm saying
23:45
that's it's not that serious so I'm I'm
23:48
just wanting to speak to that you know
23:49
just like everybody should really not
23:50
trip it's not keep making money what
23:53
you're doing this [ __ ] for you're really
23:54
doing this [ __ ] to pay for stuff and
23:56
keep the lights on like that's what
23:58
you're doing it's a job so do it for
23:59
that don't give a [ __ ] if you if I have
24:01
employee of the month on the [ __ ]
24:03
thing by the fries
24:19
because there's been a lot of talk about
24:21
Eminem you know on these lists yeah and
24:24
people say he shouldn't even be on the
24:26
top ten yeah and it's the key to his
24:28
success is being white but we know that
24:30
did give him advantage and he said that
24:32
but what are your thoughts on that
24:35
um
24:36
he can really rap though yeah like I
24:39
mean I heard I heard what belly Mel said
24:40
and I was gonna actually ask currency
24:42
about this um because
24:46
he said if somebody blacked that rap
24:49
like that
24:50
would rap like that they wouldn't be in
24:52
that same position I haven't heard
24:54
nobody black that rap like that for sure
24:57
so I'm waiting on that dude who's gonna
24:59
show but if he do if he do come with
25:01
that nobody gonna do it cause like bro
25:03
we we know what that is yeah but I'm
25:05
saying do that I'm saying just yeah if
25:08
that would have been if somebody
25:11
no
25:12
We've ran his ass I don't even
25:14
understand how it just would have
25:15
happened everybody would have been like
25:18
bro what bro David I'm telling you I
25:22
don't know why it's like we let that we
25:23
we were more receptive to it because bro
25:26
it's white it was like no it's supposed
25:29
to be zany and crazy because dude ain't
25:32
ain't like from my black so I expect him
25:35
to act like that so that's cool I can
25:36
hear it no I'm saying like because
25:39
around my way we was listening to what
25:41
we listened to and then one of the
25:43
homies definitely bought that album and
25:45
bring it in there and it was like I
25:47
heard a song about him eating mushrooms
25:48
and a girl drinking Lysol and cutting
25:51
that half at the party and [ __ ] but I
25:52
was like that's that's his life like
25:54
easy telling us what the [ __ ] he did
25:56
yeah riding in the six foot and this
25:59
[ __ ] did this so it's cool with me you
26:01
know yeah that's why I went yeah uh for
26:04
motivational use only what was your
26:06
approach to this because I remember you
26:08
uh I saw when you posted um the uh
26:10
Essence fest but you were
26:13
you were still in the studio cutting it
26:14
back and forth you know like a
26:16
traditional DJ would you know how did
26:19
y'all approach this project
26:22
um well the project we we didn't
26:23
approach it we just got in the room and
26:26
started talking
26:27
um I started making the beat we had made
26:29
one beat I mean I made one beat but then
26:31
it just went to I started realizing as
26:34
long as I keep making beats he's gonna
26:35
keep rapping okay and and and we didn't
26:39
even discussed the song so we'll make a
26:41
song
26:42
and as soon as he's done rapping he'd be
26:45
like you got another beat and all right
26:51
we'll we'll go back we didn't start
26:53
formatting the records too we got to
26:55
like 10 songs when we started going back
26:57
saying you know we should put somebody
26:59
right here we should put somebody right
27:01
here we should cut this verse down yeah
27:04
we didn't start doing any of that too
27:06
like after 10 songs so we didn't even
27:08
really discuss what we were doing we
27:10
just started we were just kicking it
27:11
done but why why y'all decided to do
27:14
this now well I mean he made the song
27:18
okay the one we played yeah and bro
27:21
heard it and it was like damn like let's
27:23
line up in the studio and I was just
27:26
thinking I was gonna go to it and get
27:27
the beat on JD so I went and and bro was
27:31
cool with this [ __ ] like it was the same
27:33
so just through kicking it and talking
27:35
and [ __ ] watching movies and [ __ ] that's
27:38
what we do is make music so music just
