Here’s another list by a producer who has not only had a huge impact in r&b, but hip-hop as well. In fact, throughout the late 90’s and early 00’s, Jermaine Dupri was known for his patented remixes that were sure to make you bounce. This list will show you some of the versatility he has as a producer though as most of these are slow and mid tempo jams; but huge hits nonetheless. Two things you should note about this list: as usually, we try at all costs to exclude multiple songs from the same artist on the list to make it fair. Second, we excluded any productions that Jermaine was credited as the co-producer on (he did a lot with Bryan-Michael Cox). As always, leave your feedback and let us know where you agree or disagree!
