Ever since he got involved with Janet Jackson, people seem to have a lot of tough talk towards Jermaine Dupri, to the point that people rag on the dude about his height. His personal life seems to at times over shadow that this is the guy who helped shape the Southern hip hop community via the label So So Def, produced for big names such as Mariah Carey, Ludacris, Usher (among countless others), and single handedly discovered Kris Kross at an Atlanta mall (Stop hatin' - You LOVE it).

Dupri played a fairly significant role in the commercialization of Hip hop, and therefore modern day pop music in general. Falling into the segment of maturing hip hop moguls (alongside men like Jay Z, Kanye West and Russell Simmons), it’s common place to see Jermaine these days in a 3 piece suit ensemble that cost double the rent check you cut yesterday.

Still, a two piece Adidas warm up suit is one of those looks that never gets old and always looks tight; The piece de resistance within any well stocked street wear closet, second only to the necessary trademark swagger to keep the wearer from looking like some middle aged, overweight, New-Jersey-Big Pussy-wannabe.
