One half of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Jimmy Jam is responsible for some of the biggest hits in music history. His work, alongside Terry Lewis with the likes of Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson created timeless music. This is why ASCAP chose to honor them.
Last month, the ASCAP Awards were held, and the biggest names in music were present. In addition to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the late rapper, The Notorious B.I.G., was honored. For Biggie, his children were present to accept the award in his honor.
Hip-HopVibe.com was present for the ASCAP Awards and caught up with Jimmy Jam. Speaking with @MJThatMediaGurl, Jimmy Jam spoke on his history in the music industry, and the evolution of hip hop. Kind of surprising, Jimmy Jam praised the current hip hop era, citing Drake and Future as those among his favorites.
