Da Brat is definitely on the horizon. That's why I put her on the "I Think They Like Me Record" joint because I wanted to get everybody back in the mindset that we about to come back strong and it's time to work.
But yeah Brat is definitely one of the next up to bat!
-JD
JD you can't be serious, BRAT? She's run her course. And it's no longer cute to be a 30's something stud still smoking weed and talkin shit but ain't sayin nuthin. She needs to grow the hell up, femme it up and slim her chunky azz down. Almost forgot, how's about some porcelin vaneers for that rabbit azz grill. Lil Kim, fixed hers a minute ago, what's Brat on?
JD, i can't knock ya for stickin' by ya artist, but keep it real da brat through. a cameo cool, but a whole album. a female rapper has to have some sex appeal. brat was tryin' to get sexy at one time then she got fat and went back to actin' like a boy. as an artist she lacks depth. and as for ya new artist sunny save ya money. nobody wanna buy a cd from somebody who won their deal in a contest. that's why that formula hasn't worked yet. even if he won it by being the best rapper, cause good battle rappers don't make good songwriters. plus the audience feels like they seen his struggle, why buy his album? then he ends up being a punchline in every rappers song like Da Band.
Da Brat? JD please. We dont want to see a dude with tits.
JD Da Brat can make a come back and make you some money but she need to change her image. she need to be more of a sex appeal like your girl Janet or Lil Kim. Town boy don't sell anymore. Do the right thing and talk to her. I am a fan of her but i want to see her grow up and the celebraty reality show she did well that was a big mistake.
Brat's career was over when she stepped into The Surreal Life. Brat can go into porn, now that would be a good outlook.
ITS SOME OL' DISRESPECTFUL, HATIN AZZ BASTIDS UP IN HERE!!!
YO JD, FUCK THESE HATERS AND DON'T PAY THEM NO ATTENTION. THESE AREN'T BRAT FANS, THEY NEVER WERE SO THEIR COMMENTS DON'T MEAN SHIT. DA BRAT TRIED CHANGING HER IMAGE ON UNRESTRICTED AND LIMELIGHT, LUV & NIGHTCLUBZ AND NOBODY WAS BUYING IT. SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO HER ROOTS LIKE ANUTHATANTRUM AND FUNKDAFIED. HER ALBUMS ALWAYS GET DELAYED AND PUSHED BACK LIKE 100 TIMES SO WHEN IT DROPS IT'S ALREADY OUTDATED, CASE IN POINT HER LAST 2 JOINTS. THE SEXY SHIT DON'T WORK FOR BRAT. THAT JOINT SHE DID WITH M.O.P. WAS FIRE, BUT THE REST OF THAT ALBUM WAS WACK. DA BRAT IS MY FAVORITE FEMALE RAPPER OF ALL TIME AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE RAPPERS PERIOD. SHE HAS THAT SAME SWAGGER AS BIGGIE AND JAY-Z. BEFORE YOU LET HER LAY DOWN ANY TRACKS FOR HER ALBUM, GET THE PRODUCTION RIGHT FIRST. I WANNA SEE BRAT FUCK WITH KANYE WEST, LIL JON, TIMBALAND, DJ QUIK, THE NEPTUNES, SWIZZ BEATZ, AND OF COURSE JERMAINE DUPRI. AS FOR GUESTAPPEARANCES I CAN SEE DA BRAT PUTTING IT DOWN WITH LUDACRIS, TWISTA, SNOOP DOGG, MARIAH CAREY, J-KWON, DAZ, DAVID BANNER, KANYE WEST, PETEY PABLO, MURPHY LEE, SHAWNNA, STAT QUO, THE KID SLIM, BROOKE VALENTINE, BONE CRUSHER, YOUNGBLOODZ, EVE, MISSY ELLIOTT, BEYONCE, REMY, KRAYZIE BONE, CEE-LO, REDMAN, JD, BOW WOW, CIARA, USHER, LIL JON, JOHNTA AUSTIN, ANTHONY HAMILTON, JAZZE PHA, SCRAPPY, KILLER MIKE, AND T.I. THAT'S NOT TO SAY SHE SHOULD HAVE THAT MANY GUESTS ON ONE ALBUM, BUT THOSE ARE JUST IDEAS OF WHO DA BRAT COULD FUCK WITH AS FAR AS COLLABOS ARE CONCERNED. I AM A TRUE FAN OF DA BRAT, SHE'S NOT WASHED UP JUST BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T DROP AN ALBUM EVERY YEAR. SHE NEEDS HOT PRODUCTION AND BIG GUEST STARS IN ORDER TO SHINE PROPERLY. MY FAVORITE SONGS THAT FEATURE DA BRAT ARE "DA B SIDE" WITH B.I.G., "LIVE AND DIE FOR HIP HOP" WITH KRIS KROSS, "ROAD DAWGS" WITH JAY-Z AND AMIL, "THOROUGH BITCHES" WITH CHARLI BALTIMORE, "JUMPIN' JUMPIN'" REMIX FOR DESTINY'S CHILD, AND "NO ONE ELSE" WITH TOTAL. IF DA BRAT CAME WITH A COUPLE HOT SINGLES, SHE COULD GO BACK TO '96 ALL OVER AGAIN. GIVE US THAT ALBUM, WE NEED IT. DA BRAT IS A REAL MC, SHE DON'T HAVE TO EXPOSE HER TITTIES LIKE KIM, TRINA, OR FOXY TO MAKE YOU TAKE NOTICE. PEACE. JD, HOLLA AT YA BOY I COULD DO A&R FOR YOU OR SOME STREET TEAM SHIT. WHEN IS DAZ GONNA DROP?
The thing with brat that sets her apart is her flow, voice and delivery... she don't sound like the rest of these bitches... as long as she can spit fire who gives a shit what she looks like.. I ain't sayin she spit fire but we'll see if she can handle it... Give her a chance, if she flop.. then start hating.
a comeback? nigga, please! mane, after funkdafied all bratz albums flopped! even on funkdafied album she was bitin' snoop.
JD, ya need to drop dat youngbloodz! dat presidential shit bangin'!

It's obvious Brat-tat-tat-tat's got some blackmail status dirt on you. Brat, blackmail him to broke-ness, I would be mad too if I were left for a Jackson, milk that old ass kid.
You JIGS are taking this shit personal, why does not people take other people insulting GOD personal when the elustrial spirit's teachings are being attacked everyday. You are quick to defend a mere mortal harlton than the almighty GOD. Think About It
the brat is garbage as hell.JD you need to go and find some artist with skills.Daz,Da brat,Sunny and T Waters are so damn wackkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
jam go suck a dick yelly!
I like the brat, and i'd definately smash. I just don't she can blow up again. She can blow me though, and she can bring her girlfriend too. LETS GET IT POPPIN!!
Shout outs to JD for having faith in his artist and not giving up on her. I understand that as I am in the industry also. We all know that Da Bratt was the first female rapper to go platinum, she even had a crossover audience you dont need to give her credit she earned it.
I to have conflicts with some of my artist about thier appearance they are young and don’t understand what the industry is looking for, its my job to teach and guide them. Da Bratt and JD knows what sells, he is fully aware of what he has to do to get Da Bratt back on the charts. For those of you who don’t agree with JD you don’t have to be so harsh, if you don’t like Da Bratt that’s your God given right; but you don’t have to hit her below the belt you don’t even know her.
I have a new artist whom people have compare to Da Bratt, she is a hell of a lyricist, she is fine and knows how to keep the crowd on their feet; but her image is totally different from Da Bratt. That was an executive decision and we are sticking with it that is the way we chose to market her, and we believe in our product. Check Chiffy out at www.thrudaroof.com let me know what you think.
First off JOE! These cats is whack thinking that the BRAT ain't hot! Obviously none of these cats been to CHI in a while (if ever)that's my city and she's the type of broad a playa' want. Keep that "pretty, quiet I just want a salad bitch!" Real cats in Chi take women just like the brat because those ladies will come across ya' with something other than a loud squeel and saying "get off my man", ya' feel me? J, do ya thing she's hot, the rap scene is primed and ready and honestly the stage is set for a REAL female rapper to come and handle these weak cats and who better than the BRAT to make it happen. Love is Love duke so do ya thing. Brat, handle yours baby! Central & Congress holdin' ya down fa' sho!
CUBE
I've always felt Da Brat. But the last lp was shitty. Step up the production status.She would be nuts over beats by KANYE WEST,TIMBALAND, DJ QUIK, THE NEPTUNES, SWIZZ BEATZ 9th WONDER JUST BLAZE!!
I am from Chicago and I often support my people trying to do it big but...The Brat needs to go put in an application at K-mart because it's over. It's been over for a looooooong while. Because I feel like this doesnt mean I'm hating. She came out biting like everyone So So Def brings out. She came out sounding like Snoop in 93. Kris Kross sounded like a west coast bootleg group and Bow wow sounds like The new snoop (however, he gets a pass because snoop made him official). SunNY is garbage and sounds like Beanie Siegal with no skills! lol...Is it me or is So So Def into breading clones? LOL. Shante (Da Brat). Take out the braids and pig tales, kill the big ass cloths, hit the gym, change your flow and kill that wack ass voice. Be more sexy damn it! lol
You know I'm not talking like Rodney King - "Can't we all just get along", but damn! Cerjen comments on the "Brat" were so uncalled for? I think it good that JD is still looking out for his family. I say, may the universe find a place for the 30 something sista. Peace, Imani
kamster stop putting down niggaz from the chi trying to do they thang.
What is wrong with you people? Why should a female rapper need sex appeal? Do you think females buy other females for their sex appeal? It is rare for men to buy women rappers anyway, unless they can spit.
Bottom line is BRAT was not a sex symbol from the jump and personally, though I did not mind looking at her when she showed skin, she does does not need to be sexy.
Of course in this male dominated industry the record execs will try and use sex to sell records we as hip hop fans need to support good artists no matter what.
Not mad atcha JD, but this is a Chi town dude hoping that Brat can hook up with Common and even Kanye to do some stuff.
say JD my nigga BUMP all dez hatin azz lil pussies dey jus mad cuz brat iz doin summin dat dey could only dream about doin and even in deyz dreams brat stll could do wat she better den dem. Man BUMP all dez pussies when brat come out wit summin hot wat dey gon b doin walkin around spittin da same shit dey tryin 2 spit now about sum1 else man fux dez hataz. Besides I've been waitn 4 her come back n e way.
come on folk grow up n stop hidn bhind ur keyboard! if u really know rap u will respect da brat n atleast wait to c what she has 2 offer b cuz she atleast deserves that much!
Man I doubt JD would even read all these responses, but anyway. It's crazy how folk will say that a fenale rapper gotta have sex appeal. Mentioning the names Lil Kim, Trina, and any other female rapper who can't rap is disrespectful to every true M.C. that puts it down. People who say da Brat was biting Snoop are just ignorant and should be ignored as much as possible. They both are from the Midwest, and if yall didnt know funk has heavy influence on that region. When Da Brat came with funkdafied, she was keeping it funky, the ame way Snoop came funky sometimes. But it was not biting, just a similarity. But Brat been putting itdown since she came on the scene. She spit the funky shyt, she spit the hard shyt, she spit the feminine shyt, and did all of that better than almost any other female ever to put it down. I remember he on that Ladies Nite joint, and she ripped it, the same way she done ripped everything she done been on. Long as Brat stay true to herself, and J.D. hook her up with a tight production team, she will lyrically take care of the rest. She may or may not sale as many records as the hip-hop hoes, but I'm positive the album will be a classic, just like her first album.
Feel you Mike...
Da Brat is a dope MC when she's focused.
That SHOULD be all that matters...
but alas... it's not.
...but let's talk about the videos!
Brat is one of the OG's. Give some respect where respect is due. She can do her thang again, as long as production is right. The thing with female rappers is they dont get the respect they deserve. Foxy, Trina, Charli Baltimore all those girls have the same pitch through out the whole song. Lil' Kim on the other hand can rap with some character. Dont you agree? The flow is steady throughout the whole song with them other girls. Put some feeling into. After all YOU are women! Foxy is whack, her ass fucked up with Chyna Doll. She tried to be something she wasnt. Female rappers need better beats to get some airplay. Let me know whats up...
da brat is finished! plus she gay! brat's girlfriend is dat chick wit da blonde hair dats in her last few videos. and get real it's been over 10 years since da brat went platinum. even missy knows a female rapper has to have some sex appeal. this is 2005 not '95. lil kim killin' all them ho's. dat bitch got plenty sex appeal and can rap!
mann fukk what everybody who hatin got to say da bratt always gone be the shit and thats all i got to say!!!!!!!
Saint! dog u trippin jack i know u didn't just say foxy was wack? are u serious? i know u a brat fan dog but, lets be fo real can no bitch in da rap game fuck wit FOXY!! she can smash some of da wack niggas in da game now. she can hang wit most dudes on any track.
Caliba,
I use to be a huge Fox fan, trust me. But shes done some shady shit that I cant get past. One who's writing her shit? Jigga wrote most if not all of the Ill Nana CD and Chynna Doll. Broken Silence was off THE hook. I still play that shit, but I cant honestly believe she wrote that. With all the rumors going around about her having a ghostwritter, I wanna see her battle one of them bitches. Ms. Jade wanted Fox, but Fox pulled out. I dont mean any disrespect, but come on. Hit me up and let me know...

JD, hip-hop needs new blood. Only artists who have depth can survive long layoffs and have extended rap careers, unless your Will or LL, which the Brat is not. The truth is that if the Brat were really going to make it, she would have made it by now. Those who were her fans when she was in her prime have grown up and they don't want to hear a 30 something year old woman talking about how street she is.
Flipside: Skill Display
If you want anyone to take the Brat serious again, you are going to need real hip-hop mixtape djs behind you. I suggest the NY circuit first. ATL isn't really serious about mixtapes. Getting there, but not there yet. Holla at Envy, Green, or Sickamore. The Brat will need real deal street cred first and foremost.
Females in the rap game. Most of them suck. I'll be honest. They are either too masculine(Remy), too girlie(Trina), or too faux-gangsta(Foxy). Missy and Kim are all we have right now. Honestly, they are enough for me. Maybe the Brat can find a nice middle ground, but I think she's going to have to make a "tell all" album. She'll need to strip herself naked(personality wise). And oh yeah....Da Brat's mama is fine. Maybe she can shake her ass in the videos.
Oh Yeah...Rah Digga is much more deserving of stardom.
I agree with you on that one Darrick, Rah is dope. I cant believe I left her out. Ms. Jade's got skill too. Did you hear the Rah & Kim track yet?
THE ARSONIST!!! Yo shit was too damn long.
I'm checkin for Da Brat.I'm from da Chi I'm supportin my own. Some wit that fiya lil mam.
I think it is fair so say that if you put Da Brat out she is not going to get too much support. I respect Brat but it is time to move on JD. I think she is going to need more than a few hot singles to re-establish her career. These people are so negative though. Even if you don't like her, you don't have to disrespect her. I bet she could beat most of yall asses. Real talk though, whats going on with So So Def? The Youngbloodz were the best thing going for So So Def, but if im not mistaking they are not with that label anymore because of the label move. Right now it is getting serious and you need some help JD. Bring in somebody that is from the world outside of the industry that has actual knowledge of the game, and a ear for talent. The same way you recruited Lil Jon. It is good to sometimes bring in fresh ears. You never know, they might possess a certain quality that could bring So So Def back to a dominating status. JD HOLLA AT ME!!! Im serious I could help you. I know your busy, but I also know you want expand your label even though you have had much sucess. HOLLA AT ME!!! I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Too try and make a comeback, you need to have some life left in your career. After you went and showed your ass on "surreal Life", it's a wrap for you. I don't even think she would be a good look to make 1-800 collect call commercials. I wish her the best and I hope she saved some cake. I could be wrong though... but I doubt it.
A yo wat up i beleive u gone wind this time so fuuuduuuckkk dem haters an JD i got PATRA sign whut up with some duets WWW.Patraworld.com try hatin on the queen suckers
hey whatz up ya'll im down wit chi an Hotlata(atl) im from south africa an im feel so so def straight from kris kross to youngfly&flashy vol.1...... but i think brast last album was abitt not her she should not change i mean brat is funkdafied so i think she should stay an OG.....drop funkdafied vol.2

so if you wanna hola drop me a dimn...
peace out ya'll CHI-town / A-town
I think Brat has something left. The key is how she is promoted. If some major peeps get behind her she can come back. I will definately support her.

DA BRAT WOULD REALLY WORK WITH LIL JON!!!!!!!!!!!! DA BRAT NEEDS TO COME BACK STRONG!!! JD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING, WHY DO YOU THINK HE RUNS A RECORD LABEL - YOU DAMN RIGHT HE'S MAKING MORE MONEY THAN ANY OF US ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD!!!!!!!!!
Saint,

And u know who be coming off da top an who don't cause if da nigga in da studio wit u know ur words while u sayin it dat shit written. but u don't here nobody sayin her shit wit her. Oh, yeah Rah Digga is a BIG SLEEPER!! she be spitten
Saint dog don't forget she than smashed off Kim nad Eve. Ms. Jade don't want that wit Fox. why waste ur time wit Ms. jade who da fuck is she. Jade had timbaland and still couldn't blow homie. Foxy roasting estalished chicks Remy Ma weak ass is next to take that L. Remy came down to NC and got roastered
That is the typical African mentality.Why are the so called true hip-hop heads hating on Da Brat.Remember them tight lyrics she came out wit a couple a years back and stop hating. It is disgusting
Caliba,
That bitch be memorizing shit. She dont want to battlerap. She turned downed battles with, Kim, Jade, Eve, & Remy. She a rehearser! I admit her shit sound good, but lets keep it real. It aint her. If she was so sick, why she aint got anything to show for it. Bum ass bitch be hittin bitches at a salon for $20.00. come on now, if she rollin that should be nuthin. Give respect where respect is due. Kim is the true queen of female rap. Holla!
