"I write the songs that the whole world sings," rapper Jay-Z claims in the middle of "Money Ain't a Thang," from producer-rapper Jermaine Dupri's first solo album, <I>Life in 1472</I>. Solo? Only in name; as Dupri grabs his Puffy moment to make a gangsta party album sure to dominate MTV and radio for months, it seems he's indeed pulled the better part of the hip-hop planet into the booth. Besides Jay-Z, there are guest shots by Snoop Dogg, Nas, DMX, Mase, Lil' Kim--even Mariah Carey and Keith Sweat. But not even those mainstream singers can turn the record's tone away from the boasting that dominates the other cuts. And Dupri's performance? Tracks: catchy. Rapping: slightly better than Puffy's. --Rickey Wright

2 out of 5 stars Life must have sucked back in 1472.......2007-01-19

WHOA!!! This album actually has a 4.5 star average on Amazon? Im shocked at all the five stars he got for this exercise in futility. Let me start by saying that Jermaine Dupri is an okay producer(he has his own sound unlike PissDookie)but his delivery is about as exciting as a presidential address given by the guy from the clear eyes commercial. Jermaine might have his own production style but lyrically he is a southern version of Puffy. If I had to chose between suffering from a Jermaine Dupri or Puff Daddy album, I would choose Jermaine Dupri. He is the lesser of two evils.
Standout Tracks: TURN IT OUT(Nas was the deciding factor), GET YOUR S*** RIGHT, FRESH(classic collabo with Slick Rick), JAZZY HOES, PROTECTORS OF 1472(R.O.C. and Snoop floored Jermaine on this one) and DONT HATE ON ME(Krayzie Bone and DA Brat makes you love this track). Filler: Money Aint A Thang(Jay-z's verse was fire but Jerkmaine Dookie's verse was hot kaka), Sweetheart(schmaltzy love jam), You Get Dealt Wit(Lil Kim and Mase's verses were so wack you hold your ribs in painful laughter), All Thats Got To Go(cheesy war of the sexes type of record), Going Home With Me(ZZZZZZZZzzzzzz....okay Im Up Now)and Three The Hardway(wasted a nice beat provided by DJ Quik with boring rapping. For Shame!). Bottom Line: Jermaine Dupri is the worst thing to happen to rap next to Puffy. He might be a better producer and a better rapper than Snuffy but he still sucks. The production was tame, Jermaine's lyrics were corny and sleep-inducing and the some of the guest appearances were just as bad as Jermaine. BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!

5 out of 5 stars Jermaine Dupri at his best.......2005-02-24

Despite he started at the tender age og 12, writing songs, discovering talents, his debut album came out until 1998. He did highlights to several R&B and Hip-Hop idols Xscape, Mariah Carey (Always be my baby, Sweetheart...)Janet Jackson... And now he's here with a nu sound.

MONEY AIN'T A THANG +5/5
GET YOUR SH*T RIGHT 3/5
FRESH 3.5/5
SWEETHEART +5/5
JAZZY H**S 4/5
DON'T HATE ON ME +5/5

4 out of 5 stars Life In 1472.......2002-09-20

Fans have been waiting for an album from Jermaine Dupri since 1994, when he rhymed alongside his "newfound friend" Da Brat on her debut Funkdafied. It's been evident for some time that this production genius behind recent hits from Usher, Mariah Carey and Xscape was capable of holding down his own album. His solo debut, Life In 1472, however, still features numerous collaborations with other notable artists--Lil' Kim, Mase, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Too Short, Da Brat and DMX, not to mention R&B superstars Mariah Carey and Keith Sweat. Either way, Mr. Dupri can begin making room on his wall for yet another multi-platinum plaque

Dupri's party-oriented, upbeat production will surely follow the lead of Life's first two singles, "The Party Continues" featuring Da Brat and "Money Ain't A Thing" featuring Jay-Z. And while a few songs include more sexual descriptions than we're used to receiving from Dupri, the album is just as enjoyable as what he has been delivering since the 1992 release of Kris Kross, Dupri's first multi-platinum act.

5 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE FEW COMMERCIALIZED ALBUMS I CAN ACTUALLY FEEL.......2001-08-22

We all know Jermaine Dupri isnt exactly underground hip-hop, and I am a huge underground hip-hoper. I cant stand any videos I see on MTV or songs that dominate the radio. But I have to admit this album is without a doubt a classic. I will feel a commercial album every once in awhile, well this just happens to be one that I feel, and I feel this album probably more than any other commercialized album out there to date. And for good reason.

Here is why fans from artist such as Deltron to Will Smith should pick up this album.

1) The production.. Enough said.

2) JD's ability to come up with catchy hooks all fans of hip-hop could bob they heads to.

3) The guest apperances fit the album perfectly, except for Mase and Little Kim. This album features DMX when he was ill, Slick Rick (everyone feels Slick Rick), Warren G. Yea they are commercial artist, and the only one that I listed that I am a true true fan of is Slick Rick, but they lay nice above average vocals on each track they on.

4) The last and final reason you should pick this up is .... BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO.
