I used to like it quite a bit. It didn't seem to last very long though, kinda seemed to go away as quickly as it came.

I remember the concerts! Corny, Biking shorts, tight jeans

Funny memory


Smooches;)

when i think of new jack swing i think of teddy riley!

loved it and miss it

yeah, I remember it and it has not aged well at all, the music or the videos.

Funny...most people who've worked with Teddy usually regret meeting him and have been ripped of, which is why he can't get work except in Japan these days.

Teddy Riley was heavily involved in new jack swing.

Me too. I heard Bell Biv Devoe in the radio today singing, "Poison". I've always loved that song and had it turned up full blast in my car.

I know, it's ashame too, I still love that music.

Never knew that Teddy wrote a song for Guy that was inspired by Vanity 6 - that's pretty cool.

Don't forget about Keith Sweat.

I don't know who Keith Sweat is, but his name makes me feel ill.

As if it wasn't bad enough to be called Kieth, but then to have a surname named after bodily excretion...


Reminds me of Sid Snot, but I'm guessing Keith isn't as amusing.

He was an R&B artist of the late 80's. In fact,Teddy Riley said that Keith Sweat was the first artist that he produced and Keith told him that he should have his own album which of course is the group called Guy. By the way,that really is his last name.

Where's thesexofit?

for real right? I'm glad they didn't do any of that heavy chain, lime green shorts crap that went with NJS.

That's what I was thinking.

halosinner said:

Boy, do I disagree. Those tunes (which are, essentially, the soundtrack of my high school years) are timeless- both the r&b and rap side of new jack swing. Keep in mind that New Jack Swing was going on at the time of the LA/Babyface and Jam & Lewis movements. Black music hasn't been the same (or arguably as good) since.

I remember it and I'd like to forget it. Thank God I was a house music person back then.....WE knew how to throwdown.

I couldn't stand house, that damn 4/4 beat drove me crazy!

Anybody remember Prince's foray into New Jack with Don't Say U Love Me?

The house/new jack era reminds me of the disco/rock era. Each genre in each era had their own fans and they hated the other type of music at the time.
