JD’s World: Jermaine Dupri launches Blog

March 9, 2009

Global14.com, is the virtual home for rapper /super producer Jermaine Dupri. After cutting his blogging teeth over at the Huffington Post, Jermaine has now branched off and created his own virtual outlet. This blog serves as the place where JD reports on his daily grind, including exclusive photos of his studio sessions, as well as exclusive pictures of his antics outside of the studio. JD is also using the blog to promote his music as well Pop Watch, his new line of watches.

The blog started with one post in December of 08, but for the last few months JD has really picked up steam, contributing to the new blog almost daily since late January.

While Global14.com is far from social marvel that is Thisis50.com, and while JD’s social media game may not be as tight as Diddy’s and Soulja Boy, it seems as many celebrities are finally figuring out that creating their own online space, where they (not their record companies, or PR reps) communicate directly with their fans, is necessary for branding and marketing themselves and their products.

i think it is good for artist to have their own site. we as fans or people trying to get into the game of musicneed to know what they go through on a day to day. they are normal people with a lucrative career. i like the web and it gets me away from the tv, yeah im tired of watching those fake reality shows about the rappers life. real brothas and sistas doing big things and controlling it themselves is a big step, why because it is our music.

Let's just say that his site is racy and leave it at that, not that I'm mad at him. I guess the rumors are true regarding his penchant for strippers. I do like the "quality" of the pictures that he posts.
