Loading ...Every year pop critics await the coming of January with a sense of trepidation and a healthy amount of schadenfreude, because it’s time for our own year-end analysis, Jason Gross’ annual rundown of year’s worst music writing. (Gross’ long-running look at the dregs of rock scribbling is actually part of a package of the worst and best music writing of the year. But c’mon, we all know which part we really care about.) And now that our trepidation has passed (nothing we wrote in ‘07 made it to Gross’ “Bottom Of The Barrel” category!), we can get to the schadenfreude (which of our peers did make it to Gross’ “Bottom Of The Barrel” category?).

Jermaine Dupri Is Going To Bring The Jackson 5 To Atlanta, Come Hell, High Water, Or High Winds

At least, that’s what he claimed on his radio show the other night, in typically understated fashion. The hip-hop impresario counts among his holdings the Atlanta club Studio 72, and he’s throwing a Jackson 5-themed New Year’s Eve party this year. And the theme is so driving the party, Michael, Marlon, Jermaine, Tito, and Jackie–and maybe, just for good measure, Dupri’s girlfriend Janet–are all going to be there! (Maybe.)

“Is that Mickey fucking Avalon?” Maura asked when I showed her this photo. Why, yes it is! It seems the way-past-his-15 novelty “sleazeball” “rapper” has been tapped by Boost Mobile to irritate us on a variety of media platforms, along with his new friends the Snowman and some guy who hates iTunes.
Jermaine Dupri Is Willing To Screw You Over For The Sake Of A Good Album
10:00 AM on Tue Nov 20 2007 by jharv
Did you know shrimpy hip-hop mogul Jermaine Durpri was a blogger on The Huffington Post? Neither did we! Yet there he was yesterday with his second post already, wherein he praises Jay-Z for his “decision not to let iTunes break up his American Gangster album and sell it as single tracks.” And it seems JD is already taking swimmingly to the blog format, penning an impassioned (and totally bullshit) 1,300 word rant-cum-manifesto about how the record labels can (and should!) take back control of the industry from both evil Steve Jobs and his hypnotized minion, the music consumer.

You just started a new gig at a company that has had its share of problems lately–including underperforming releases, executive squabbling, and reported layoffs. So what do you do to really make your mark? Why, bring your girlfriend over to drop a record or two, even though her last album was an expensive failure:
