[@jcincorporated6207]

I know y’ll are jumping into conclusion just because TR looks 38 at 51. Many studies revealed married men live longer than single ones. Once an unmarried man hits retirement age, that’s when the hard times starts, if he’s not financially secured.

Yep! Indeed. When he said there were hardly no heavy hitters out there- who started their own genre- who could level up to him, the only one that instantly came to my mind was Prince. Because he had his own style, distinct culture that came with it, and virtually EVERYBODY in the pop music industry globally tried to copy it but couldn't. Prince owned that s**t. It would have been amazing if he and Ted did a project together.

I wish his mic was turned up or he spoke a bit louder. My laptop was on 100% volume, but that wasn't enough. I had to use my HDMI cable to link up with my TV and cut the volume up to 50 to hear what this legend was saying 😂😂 All that aside, I HAD to hear what this man had to say. I listened to an interview a few weeks ago and he was talking about how he chose the album cover for MJ's Dangerous. That is one of my FAVORITE album covers of all time! PLEASE make a biopic on this man sometime! I would love to have Babyface do a lengthy interview like this as well!

Teddy is a very forthcoming person & his honesty & willingness to engage made this interview. Very enjoyable. It wasn't long enough.

Most of the earlier questions were stock questions we all knew the answer to but some of that stuff they asked was corny ...They pullin a Nore and cuttin the person off before he can finish answering the damn questions lol. Teddy Riley is one of my main influences and foundation of my musical sound and approach to production period.

[@debrajames6316]

Messiah Black The Breakfast club are full of people that do not know the history of music. When you are a interviewer you receive a press package that tells you about the Artist and a CD. They do not do their homework always coming off as unprepared!!That's why Nikki was so disrespectful to them.
