“I think were seeing the life of hip-hop coming back with songs like Aunt Jackie,” Jermaine Dupri said of his new artists#### song and dance. “It’s the kids acting like kids used to act when I was growing up, and I love it because, to me, hip-hop has been too-cool-for-school lately. Its time for a change.”
