Teddy Riley And The New Jack Swing Movement

The history of the New Jack Swing Movement by Teddy Riley and many other New Jack Swing acts.
New Jack Swing or Swingbeat is a fusion genre spearheaded by Teddy Riley and other producers that became popular from the late 1980s into the early 1990s. Its influence, along with Hip Hop, seeped into pop culture and was the definitive sound of the inventive Black New York club scene. It fuses the rhythms, samples, and production techniques of Hip Hop and Dance-Pop with the Urban Contemporary Sound of R&B. The #NewJackSwing style developed as many previous music styles did, by combining elements of older styles with newer sensibilities. It used R&B style vocals sung over Hip Hop and Dance-Pop style influenced instrumentation. The sound of New Jack Swing comes from the Hip Hop "Swing" Beats created by drum machine, and hardware samplers, which was popular during the Golden Age of Hip Hop, with contemporary R&B style singing.

What Can I say Teddy is A Legend and The Greatest Producer Ever!!!!!

[@tiajeffery7912]

So glad I grew up in this era and still listen to the throwbacks of the late 80s and 90s to this day.

[@rodneyskinnermusic]

Teddy has been a Big Influence to me. I always loved New Jack Swing ever since I was a kid and today I am writing songs with a 90s Feel to it. Thank You Lord for the Genius and Creativity of Teddy Riley.

[@mr.ryantheman]

I'm 21 years old & wished I grew up in the 90s New Jack Swing era & rocked a high top fade I know some dope dance moves of this era

[@mjolden]

I'm 22 and I second your sentiments.

I’m almost 43 yrs old. I grew up in the NJS era! It was the greatest time ever! Music, fashion, tv shows, movies! Good memories! Thanks Teddy & every one else responsible for those days!

[@AK-fj8yo]

New Jack Swing takes me back to being a kid in the early 90s. it’s a good feeling to think about that time. so much flavor in the late 80s early 90s. one of the best eras in music.

Today in History: Keith Sweat released "I Want Her", Monday 7th September 1987, "I Want Her became the first New Jack Swing track and on January 30, 1988, “I Want Her” became the first New Jack Swing hit to reach #1 on Billboard’s Top 100 R&B/Hip-Hop Single charts. I Want Her” quickly solidified him into the R&B/New Jack Swing artist he is today. Initially, Keith and co-producer Teddy Riley collaborated on this track because Sweat told Teddy that he didn’t have enough material for the album; it was Teddy’s suggestion that the two Harlem natives worked together. They ended up writing the lyrics over the phone while Keith was working his day job at the stock exchange, helping to ignite the making of a classic album in Make It Last Forever. The duo eventually penned 6 of the 8 tracks included on the album, including the single after which he named the album: “Make It Last Forever”. Long Live The #NewJackSwing Movement, Long Live #NJS4LIFE!

Oh man, the Nostalgia... What an era! ❤️

[@truepyt]

I have so much respect for Teddy Riley, what a genius. Oh my goodness!!

[@jorymil]

That snare sound is so iconic: it's like a 2x4 hitting a radio playing static.

[@whtwht]

Remember also TR also had Chad Hugo & Pharrell has his protege from a school talent contest . He had them on the Blacksteet first album and other big tunes of the 90's era

[@ChromeTecNina]

This guy tr is an absolute genius. Had no idea he left such an imprint on music

[@isaiahwinbrone]

If it wasn't for Teddy Riley it would be no New Jack Swing movement

[@dreameryoung38]

Teddy my boy . I can't believe I have so much of his music in my collection. I can't believe that music is written off personal experience. Time for me to get busy. I have a keyboard ,don't know how to play but can make up beats.

[@kimprice3]

Teddy Riley is the King of New Jack Swing! I remember all of this, Teddy was the real shit, there is no other!

[@MrBean617]

Teddy is the greatest producer of all time. What we call R&B today is actually New Jack Swing.

[@johndarellharrisonharrison5262]

New jack swing is the best thing ive studied. I can dance so i took it out on a marjor step in records....mr riley and guy are put together.

[@mjs23336]

Don't forget a thing about the New Jack Swing!!!

[@alexgeorge3068]

Playin Sonic on the Megadrive in the early 90s as a kid is what got me into this genre. Teddy is a legend.

[@finnz7495]

Influced?

[@ahmirwatson9531]

Sonic OST was TREMENDOUSLY influenced by New Jack Swing

[@teet3293]

Teddy is The Man.

[@djbis]

This video was epic for me in ways I can't even explain! Imagine being a kid in a foreign country (did not even understand the English language) and listening to many of the songs featured in this video... Dancing to them, being moved by them, being hypnotized by the beats and the melodies... but never really aware of the faces and talent behind the music. New Jack Swing being a term that wasn't even mentioned or understood in my home country. It was just GOOD MUSIC to me, the name didn't matter!!! Fast forward a few decades and now in the USA as an adult, I learn about this man behind the sound and the hits that SOOOOO MAANY incredible artists were part of. I was ignorant to the impact and the influence that Teddy brought to the music industry as a whole. Today I can say with confidence that I not only became a fan of hip-hop and R&B because of Teddy Riley, but it is the reason why I became a DJ and performed for over 20 years playing this music and a bunch more to the masses. This music changed my life. I am in awe at this realization and so thankful to the musicians and Mr. Riley for the music and inspiration. Not only a true legend in music but apparently a wholesome human being that cared about his peers and looked out for other talents in the industry. ❤ What a blast of nostalgia! What an amazing era for music!!! Thank you and God Bless ya'll!

Night & Day was KYLE WEST, another underrated producer of the 90s

[@dsg3053]

Right. I've read that Al and Kyle had Night and Day and most of the album done on their own. Maybe Teddy helped with some things.

[@BadTV1993]

@@dsg3053 Al B & Teddy worked together back in the day on the Guy Album writing & production(Al B is no slouch himself on production) on the track YOU CAN CALL ME CRAZY..dont know how much else they worked together on

[@D4tnuyrkkiid90]

I’m 31 and been down with the New Jack Swing fashion since 2009 but the decade of the 90’s since 2003. I wish it was possible to go back in time I am so sick and tired of looking at 90’s videos I wanna be in the 90’s in person. I wanna experience the New Jack Swing movement. I wanna cry 😢 lol

That was a number one hit in the week of April 1990. Not number one in R&B but number one in the pop charts
