dj quik spoke on teddy riley's influence in this interview with hiphopdx. here's the part where he speaks on teddy.

the link to the article is below.


DX: There are a lot of artists patting themselves on the back for mixing Hip Hop and R&B, but you were one of the early pioneers as far as…

DJ Quik: I stole that from Teddy Riley. When I saw Teddy Riley doing his thing on Ventertainment… When the nikka did “It Takes Two,” I knew something was up. When the mothafukka did “Wild, Wild West,” it was over. When he was on Jive producing Kool Moe Dee, I was like, “Man!” We all bought the Keith Sweat album, Make It Last Forever. What was that? We bought that, people stole it and we bought it again. If somebody stole it, we was like, “We’ll give this to you if you give us something…like some p*ssy or some weed.” Back then, Keith Sweat’s Make It Last Forever album was worth some head, some weed, some p*ssy or a ride in your Nissan truck on Enkis.

DX: [Laughs] He didn’t say it on those exact words, but we talked to Terrace Martin and he pretty much cosigned that.

DJ Quik: Yeah, that was our shyt. Me and Terrace worked with Teddy! I’m a Teddy student, and I’m watching Terrace. It was like taking your homeboy to go meet your professor Albert Einstein. But you gotta tell your homeboy, “Just relax. Don’t be hyper and turn down a little bit. Keep your composure.” That’s how Terrace was. Teddy Riley is fukkin’ dope.

But yeah, I’m a student of all this shyt. If I had never heard Dre’s production, I wouldn’t have known how loud to have my hi-hats. See, Dre tells you where to put shyt at in the mix. It’s not an easy code, and to be a Dr. Dre clone, you have to understand the laws of music, moving air and speakers, depth and emotion. Dre knows how to make music move on people’s skin. I’m getting off track, because we were talking about Teddy Riley. But them nikkas got together and did “No Diggity” right? What the fukk is wrong with these cocky mothafukkas? Are they bored when Dr. Dre and Teddy Riley got to get together and do something?

:lawd: I bought the tape at least three times, the cd at least twice. That album is truly one of the goats.

there's nothin' like it! :ohlawd:

i remember an interview dr. dre did for los angeles times a few years ago where he said he's gone 79 hours(!) straight in the studio.

here's the part of the article where he mentions it;

"WE go until it happens," rap producer Dr. Dre says about all the time he spends in the recording studio searching for hits, once as long as 79 hours in a single stretch. "When the ideas are coming," says the man who is one of the half-dozen most influential producers of the modern pop era, "I don't stop until the ideas stop because that train doesn't come along all the time."

When you're in the zone, you don't even really notice how much time has passed by. You don't even really get hungry, or tired.

yup :yes:

by the late 90's teddy was just crusin'' off of his work of the mid 80's to mid 90's. but in his prime as an artist? teddy was like the go to man for just about everyone. anytime the king of pop wanted to work with someone, you know that artist had to have what it takes to make something great. the thing about a producer like teddy riley is they have the vision. they know what works and what it takes to make that song, song's remix or album be something great or classic. plus he discovered the neptunes

yeah, the competition between teddy and jimmy jam and terry lewis was somethin' else. can't forget about babyface either.

There is a dope jam session w/ 3 other keyboardists and they crush it.

Any other producer would freeze, look at these mf's. Morris Hayes :whoo: As far as what someone was saying about Pharrell, he is moreso a entertainer but he can't touch the stage like this. It is kind of revealing how keyboard work in Hip Hop & R&B has been purged of a lot of creative funky lines & melodies. I like to think, after the bridge was "Taken" they blew up the bridge then. Not sure how this comes back to musicians in R&B, but someone is going to have to create a movement w/ their label, artists & the money is going to have to be thrown. We sort of saw that w/ "Sa-Ra Creative Partners" but look what happened to their projects. No one put money behind it, we need a crazy mf who wants to invest & not care how much he may not get back immediately for his investment.

(1) Dude is possibly a homosexual...

(2) A "clean sound" doesn't necessarily make one a good producer...You are a good producer if you are able to achieve the sound that you are imagining, and that sound reflects the lyrics and image of the artist, and the target audience is able to appreciate it...
