What are you talking about?
HE FELL BACK IN THE MID 90S
AND STARTED DEVELOPING TALENT
WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE
TIMBO, MISSY ETC
THE PEOPLE YOU GAVE CREDIT FOR
HIS WORK EVEN THOUGH HE HADN'T
MET THEM YET
r/b groups dont really exist anymore, its a shame
That’s nice. You said he didn’t know Missy and Timbo. I know personally that he knew them and were recording together in the EARLY 90’s. In studio.
MAGOO-
"As a musician, Devante is the most talented person I’ve ever been around. For me, as a lover of music, I think the world got cheated that Jodeci didn’t put more records out and that Devante didn’t do a lot more. I don’t know why that happened, but he was the most talented person I’ve been around. You know I’ve been around some talented people. He could play Bach and Beethoven impeccably. He taught himself how to play guitar in two weeks. He taught himself how to use a vocoder just so he could use it on Jodeci’s “Feenin’” record. He was teaching himself this stuff. I was watching this guy in awe. How can you teach yourself how to play guitar that fast? Learning how to use a vocoder is difficult. The only other person I heard use it effectively was Teddy Riley. The geniuses figured it out. He is a musical genius. He was our mentor. He was always working. He didn’t tell us what to do; he showed us what to do. This is why you have a Timbaland and a Missy Elliott because he was our example. So, if your example is working two days straight, and he goes and takes a shower and then comes right back to the studio to work more, he is leading by example. He would sleep for three hours and go back to work. The way he taught us is that we had to work for it. That type of work ethic is what makes you successful."
I know for fact Timbaland knew Devante in 1993. Missy was there in 92. Missy had Timbaland producing for her from jump. Missy was also writing on Jodeci albums from then.
TIM DIDNT JOIN
UNTIL 1994 YET TIM WAS
GHOST PRODUCING FOR HIM?
"Darryl Pearson: What happened then was, Jodeci went on a promo tour and met Ginuwine. He came back, we started working with him. Then Missy and her group Sista. Missy brought Timbaland and his crew up. It was crazy because DeVante sent everybody home, but he called back Timbaland and Magoo. That was when Timbaland joined in with us also. This was around 1994. Everything was happening pretty quickly."
Yeah he’s wrong:
KNOWING AND WORKING WITH
ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS.
DUDE SAID DEVANTE SENT EVERYONE HOME THEN TIM JOINED THEM IN 94
yeah dude is WRONG!
KNOWING AND WORKING WITH
ARE 2 DIFFERENT THINGS.
DUDE SAID DEVANTE SENT EVERYONE HOME THEN TIM JOINED THEM IN 94
Scraps
HE GAVE HIS GHOST PRODUCER
A PRODUCTION CREDIT?
