Jermaine Dupri thinks he is the next Mark Zuckerberg. The hip hop mogul launched his very own social networking site called Global14.com. This particular site, you guessed it, features music news, but it also has a section for fashion advice (‘cuz JD is so fly) and a blog.
We’ve got more details on JD’s new site below.
But could have this project been brewing in his mind for some time? It was back in 2006 that JD started becoming obsessed with the world wide web. If you recall he utilized the ‘net to help promote Janet’s new album. Which one was that?
JD told Allhiphop.com, “I created a contest for Janet's album where I went to the internet and asked fans to create an album cover for her. That was the beginning of me engaging people on the internet. It was overwhelming and it was the most records she ever sold in her first week. That let me know the people wanted to be involved.”
So why is JD’s site the place to be? He says it’s because you all KNOW him.
He explains, “People want to have a place where they feel like it's a cool place and cool spot to be out as well as have conversation and really talk to each other… None of those (other websites) have an owner that you actually know and feel like you have something in common. People only know the Facebook owner (Mark Zuckerberg) now because of his money. You wouldn't have hung out with him before you knew what he did. I have an influence on producers, songwriters, artists and creative people in general.”
JD, I don’t really KNOW you. So tell me, boxers or briefs?
