Jermaine Dupri

Jermaine Dupri has launched a blog with The Huffington Post and is sounding off against iTunes.

Titled A Good Album is More than Just a Collection of Singles, Dupri's second blog addressed Jay-Z's recent decision to not allow iTunes to sell tracks from his new album "American Gangster" individually.

"I say it was a stand somebody had to take in the music industry. Jay is speaking for all of us" said Dupri. "Jay made everyone realize that iTunes taking what we give them and doing what they want with it isn't the way it has to be. He put the light on and made other people realize, "Oh these guys are just selling our music, they ain't making it." If anything, WE made iTunes. It's like how we spent $300,000 to $500,000 each on our videos and MTV and BET went ahead and built an entire video television industry off of our backs. We can't let that happen again. These businesses exist solely because of our music. So if we as artists, producers and label executives stand up, those guys at Apple can either cooperate, or have nothing for people to buy and download on their iPods."

Dupri went on to discuss how the industry is allowing consumers too much of what they want, too soon. You can read the full blog here.
