Jermaine Dupri - "Gotta Getcha"
Posted on July 6, 2005 12:19 PM
You wanna daaaaaance? I can make you dance!
You wanna mooooooove? I can make you move!
While I wasn’t quite dancing to this creepy track, I was wondering what in the world JD was doing back in the game as a solo artist with no hair. His newest video “Gotta Getcha” [watch it now] is full of surprises, trickin’ and perhaps a little reverse psychology.
Jermaine Dupri needs an encore, y’all. Should we welcome him back?
Of course we should! Let’s give a warm “Extreme Hoin’ Challenge” welcome to our old buddy JD! He has earned “Trick of the Week” honors for leading the Buster League in credit cards used, pay-per-peep time accumulated and distance traveled to the strip club.
I think he’s supposed to be playing a businessman in this underground strip club setting. This shit feels extra skeezy... like a scene from an episode of Law & Order with slave immigrants. However, upon his first close-up, after he talks his way past Nelly and a little person (they don’t like when you call them midgets, people), he looks more like a member of the Nation of Islam.
Actually, the nigga look like Half-Pint from School Daze. How you gonna be Spike Lee’s mini-me? I guess being with Janet Jackson has given him a bit of self-realization. No more “Don Chi Chi” with the cornrows for JD.
Speaking of Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty, I must mention she has quite the cameo in this video. She plays one of the skrippers behind the 5-inch bulletproof glass like the Chinese restaurant. Those sound like the best conditions under which a skripper could work. We may be on to something! If it’s good enough for Wing Cheong then it’s good enough for Tatalalicious, dammit!
Where was I?… Oh yeah… Janet. So, we’ve already seen her breastesses… Now we’ve seen her ass. Jermaine Dupri is really trying to throw it in our faces, huh? I’m not on the Chris Rock side of this argument though. You can have Janet Jackson's crazy ass. She’s looking transvestalicious in this video. (Bring it back to “Pleasure Principle”… then we can talk.)
When JD isn’t looking like a bald-headed shell of his former self, he looks like he’s related to the little Ying Yang Twin. Joining him in the booth are a fake-ass Urrrsherrr in a track suit and a John Legend doppelganger on the bridge. I guess he dropped too much paper on the Nelly cameo to afford the real things.
Sadly, for some reason, I feel like if you put Usher on this track and work him into the video, this goes from a Blastro-scrounge to a top 10 hit… as weird as the lyrics and the beat are. I feel like I’m in a haunted house or something when I close my eyes. But then again, why would I close my eyes when there’s skrippers doing nasty things behind the General Tso’s Chicken glass? It’s a wonderful and brilliant combination of black male fantasies.
Nonetheless, this is a very interesting video if you reflect a little. Times have changed for JD. He’s gone from pimpin' to trickin'. I guess after Big Bow Wow is done with puberty, he’s got no more kids waiting in the wings. Da Brat is living in denial on Surreal Life All-Star Challenge. God knows where Jagged Edge is. I guess he’d better market himself, huh?
The only part I’m cloudy on is the role of the skrippers. Obviously, they are in a position of power over the tricks in this video because they can chicken wing behind the chicken wing panel and get paid, but why must self-objectification be, once again, the only way women can get a little reciprocity in a rap video? Huh, Don Chi Chi? Can you answer that one for your ever-endearing public?
P.S.: To readers coming over from Blastro… I'm Ron Mexico. This is my music video page on a very large online hip-hop magazine website. These are NOT artist fan pages. Jermaine Dupri, B5, Coolio, Pretty Ricky, Preny Mo, T.I., CHG and Gucci Mane will not be inclined to check this site. Please do not write fan letters to them here. Find their fan clubs. Cassidy might write you back though.

Finally, JD had the courage to cut the locks he's had since dancing in Whodini's "The freaks come out at night" (remember the pop lockin little gremlin kid with the stone washed jacket, Michael Jackson glove, and fresh from the bathroom gheri curl). Over the years I noticed that JD's hairline was becoming allergic to his forehead so props to JD. 1)for sportin the baldy with a lopsided head and 2) for jackin the Knocturnal "That's the way I am" beat.
Why even have Nelly in the video? Shit, I thought he was talking to JD until he walked up behind his little mini-me.
Another thing I always wondered was...WHERE IN THE FUCK DID HE GET DON CHI CHI FROM? If that doesn't sound like a character from a UNIVISON show I don't know what does.
Ok...Janet is in the video. That's the only reason to watch it anyway. I also noticed that through the course of the video she sure likes to lick on things. Apples, globes, it seems like the next logical thing would be BALLS!
JD put this out because he had to find something to do in between putting Bow Wow back on the track and getting a grief counseler for Brats deceased career.
Univision... 2 points!
Where I'm from, Chi Chi is a derogatory slur for homosexuals... but hey.
Don Chi Chi with the mass appeal...
esta fin de semana! Sabado Gigante!
"But then again, why would I close my eyes when there’s skrippers doing nasty things behind the General Tso’s Chicken glass? It’s a wonderful and brilliant combination of black male fantasies."
CLASSIC! I'm putting this on a t-shirt.
Fuck this ppl friggin still talkin bout janet jaskson get tha fuck over it leave em alone frigg who cares if he cut his friggin braids or why he put nelly or janet jackson in his video
Calm down retha, it's just coooomedy!
I guess I was a day too late, Hashim already commented on my favorite quote from your commentary Ron. Damn you, HASHIM! =)
How about a combination fantasy for women? For me it would have to be my daughters father ACTUALLY paying child support directly to my beautician...
JUST KIDDING!!
WOW!
4 points.
Regarding the video:
We all know that Janet is a big exhibitionist. As far as her looking a little "transvestalicious", it's because her pony tails are too tight, that's all. She better calm down with that, anymore stretching of the scalp, her skin will be falling off like Michaels nose.
Jermaine Dupri's baldy- I don't think he shaved his hair by choice. He went back to his hair stylist, and she (or he if he's gay, "wink wink") simply informed him he had no more hair left to braid. He then went to the africans and they told him he didn't even have enough hair for THEM to grab and attach to some synthetic hair. Right then and there, it was a wrap for the braids.
Shout out to all my fellow single mamas doing it without any help.
PEACE
Hey this video was ok but jd looked kind of weird balled!!!!!!
PEACE OUT!
thats funny as hell. i dunno wtf janet jackson is doing. her ass is going downhill. she needs to leave that baldheaded midget ass nigga alone. cuz hes makin her look corny. since when has janet been a video hoe in OTHER peoples videos? she should stick to being that in her OWN videos. but then again, nobody has been WATCHING her videos lately. so i guess if she wants to be seen she has to be in other peoples videos. however, being in a JD video was a bad choice cuz dont nobody wanna see that shit either! BOOOOOO!
b2k is back
OH SHIT, where?
christine- dont fuck with me u. u dont say shit like that then leave
for some reason i was feeling that video. minus jd. that was not a pretty site. not good for anyone.
u cant hate on janet. its janet. end of sentence. if she wants to look like a whore let her be. all she did was throw her career out the window for the little crackhead. BUT IT'S STILL JANET JACKSON
I could be wrong but I think he was doing a spoof on the doing it Well video by LL.
I thought it was obvious
Jermaine looked like an undersexed Mr. Lippet (expand your mind kiddies, that went over your head like turtlenecks). I don't give a fuck what any of you say, if Janet came in with that outfit you would smash like Serena at Wimbeldon, it's JANET (Ms. Jackson, cause I'M nasty, hee hee). I can see Jermaine breaking himself for female attention. Without money he is just a short nigga with a receding hairline from Collige Park. Nelly on the cameo?! He should have brought the Tip Drill girls by, cause these women were lacking the professsional touch. No more video chicks as strippers, they move like, well, models all stiff and shit. I'd rather have another Kriss Kross album than hear this egotistical Negropolean drop another disc (Young, Rich, and Dangerous is a guilty pleasure).
Mr. Limpet, my bad.
JD is wack, he should of never come back. His whole lable is a joke, Da Brat is probley the most unconcestent artist in the game, Bow Wow left the camp, I don't know what the hell Sunny thinks hes doing, and the only reason hes workin' so hard now is cause hes broke. JD needs to stop!
Gotta Getcha humm...Jermaine why U tryin get other females when U got a broad like Janet. U need to go get u gurl's trapalene befo Michael do.Ha Ha
Hey Junbug chill out Jd is awsome dipite the fact that he let janet in his video and umm.... Bow Wow never left the building!

Can the guy stop buying off the rack and get a tailored suit that fits him and doesn't look too big and proportionately fits his frame?
Hey I wanna to know who played those cops in the J.D video gotta getcha, cuz they had some huge tits
STOP HATIN ON JJ SHE DIDN'T WASTE HER CAREER JD WAS IN JJ VIDEOS AND I THINK IT WAS NICE FOR HER TO RETURN THE FAVOR IM SICK OF FOLKS SAYING THAT HER CARRERWENT OUT THE WINDOW SINCE THAT WARDROBE THING LORD HAVE MERCY GOD IS ON HER SIDE AND I KNOW JJ IS COMING BACK BETTER THAN EVER!!!
Jesus must have wanted to see some tit-tays then.
Her career has gone down the shitter. You gotta let some of these crazy ass recording artists go.
what are the names of the strippers? because they where flippin hot!
stop hating!!! Janet is hot!!! And if she released an album today...i would be first in the store to get it. Think you people need to get over your "holier than thou" crap. If she has it...let her flaunt it! Hers are not the first boobs that we have seen and neither will they be the last!!
stop hating on the hating!
hahahaha
and by janet's recent sales... you'd probably have no problem getting that record on release day, so kudos.
get 2... mama needs a new set of knockers and some botox.
Now now ron, you are hating...coz she got what you aint got!!!!
Janet's career has gone downhill ever since she got with JD. Not to mention he has got to be the biggest under the radar biter in the game.I'll give him his props on having a good ear. He knows how to make a hit record,he knows how to work well with kids(welcome to the Jackson's) numbers don't lie, but what has he done that has been remotely original?
ABC/Kriss Kross
Jodeci/Xscape
Snoop Dogg/Da Brat
Snoop Dogg(again)/Bow Wow
Dru Hill/Jagged Edge
I'm not a "hater",just an observer.
JD has a nice video. The idea was his own and he's doing something that he enjoys doing in it. He's a man that has admitted to having a habit for events such as strip clubs and peep shows. So if he wants to go out to a club to check woman out,that's perfectly fine. He's not the only man in there doing so. I think the haircut was an added plus and he looks good with it. Janet just had a temporary setback. It's not the end of her career and if it is, it's only because she want it to be. To me Jan being with JD has given her a new flavor one which I have come to embrace and look forward to seeig more of . She appears happy with him and very comfortable as well. I just think that all and all it was a good thing to have her in the video. No matter who's idea it was. I give the "Gotta Getcha" video (*****)
CONTROL 2006!!!!!! yeah we well see if you still talking smack when she comes back out..LOL...yall mad because JD got to it first LOL
If I knew they were sellin bentleys for a dollar...
Hey
so you cant call a friend?
STOP HATING YALL JUST JEALOUS CUZ YALL WISH YALL HAD A GIRLFRIEND JUST LIKE JANET
JJ 2006 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN YO FACE SUCKAS!!!!
well i dont give a shyt! dats my pooh(janet) and she looks dayum good. fck what cha heard mockn bird. if dats what she wanna do then so be it. who am i or any of you all to knock it. ol sexy bych! i wish i could get het to do my dayum video! LMAO!...
I do not think Janets career went downhill. Damita Jo was a hot album. It debuted @ #2 on the top 200 chart. The superbowl incident played a major part in her sales. It seemed alot of people turned their backs on her. Then we wonder why she keep her life private. All nite don't stop was a banger and one of her hottest videos. Plus she had not support from Virgin notice there were only 2 videos and 1 done overseas. Janet is one of the best entertainers. Her next album will take us back to where it all started.
I am a Janet fan. Always have been... since Penny!
But Damita Jo was trash.
Keep her life private?
Yes... She should keep her titties private too.
