\n\tJermaine Durpi: What\u2019s up, y\u2019all. This is Jermaine Dupri, and this is my Billboard<\/em> chart history. <\/p>\n \n\tOK, so the first thing that I was thinking was like, \u201cThis ain\u2019t my song.\u201d It hit me. I haven\u2019t heard that song in a long time. First Jagged Edge record that I did featuring myself in Da Brat. I just remember the video. We went all the way out for the video. I put, like, four baby grand white pianos out in the middle of a parking lot and let them stand on top of the pianos. I was trying to make the biggest video I could possibly make for my group. It didn\u2019t work well, but from the first time that me and Brat started rapping back to back, I just remember people\u2019s reaction to it and it being something that I hadn\u2019t seen in hip-hop, like a Bonnie and Clyde type of group in rap, basically. <\/p>\n \n\tWhat is this? \u201cJeans\u201d? I was just trying to find the groove that Chingy had on his first record. \u201cPulling Me Back\u201d was such a big single. We was just trying to follow up with something that was that made people dancing that had that St. Louis and Atlanta bop to it. I was trying to make the beat feel like \u201cGrillz,\u201d but not like \u201cGrillz.\u201d And I wanted to be like, give you a little break, and then hit the 808, and then give you a little break. It\u2019s an interesting process. I remember making a video. It\u2019s like a regular, like, you know, girls and guys in the video.<\/p>\n
