Music history was made in Atlanta Saturday night, as Jermaine Dupri pulled off an epic concert at the Fox Theatre to celebrate So So Def's 20th Anniversary. The stage was like a "who's who" in chart-topping acts, as everyone from Jay-Z,
Mariah Carey, Usher, Ludacris, Young Jeezy, Nelly, Lil Jon, Monica,
Kris Kross, Bow Wow, Anthony Hamilton, Da Brat, Jagged Edge, Xscape (Latocha and Tamika Scott), T-Pain, Lil Scrappy, Youngbloodz, Bonecrusher, Dem Franchize Boyz, J-Kwon, Dondria, and Pastor Troy
took the sold-out crowd on a musical trip down memory lane. The Fox
Theatre was alive with the sounds of classic songs like "Money Ain't a
Thang" (JD & Jay-Z), "Jump" (Kris Kross), "Yeah" (Usher, Ludacris,
Lil Jon), "Who Can I Run To" (Xscape), "I Gotta Be" (Jagged Edge),
"Welcome to Atlanta" (JD, Ludacris), "Give It 2 U" (Da Brat), "I Think
They Like Me" (Dem Franchize Boyz), "Coming From Where I'm From"
(Anthony Hamilton) and so many more!
"I've
made more hits with this man than anyone else," said Usher,
acknowledging Dupri on stage. "Congratulations to my friend, JD!" said
Mariah, as she wheeled out a cake at the end of the show.
Overwhelmed
by the energy of the crowd and the support and well-wishes of his
celebrity friends, Dupri was humbled: "Wow…this is crazy," he said. "We
did it! Thank you everyone – the fans, the artists..ain't nobody f'in
with my clique!"
