That's it ,no drama,no bullshit, end of story. Quincy wished Michael well,regardless of bullshit that people think or say about him ,they both moved on and that was that.

Yeah that's understandable seeing as how MJ was a perfectionist and took forever just to finish one song lol but I can see why.

Idk about that…he released a new album once every few years in the 80s & 90s…so while mike was a perfectionist…he wasn’t as bad as say…Dr Dre who maybe makes a new album once every ten years because he’s so anal about the process…mike was a machine if you think about it…I’ve heard both he and Prince have hundreds of unpublished songs in the vault.

the real story i have it. There was 2 team ( Team A : quincy jones, accoustic stuff ) and Team B ( new sound, synth yamaha, sound designer, Dx10, Studio to encino at home, bill bottrell) Mj wanted a new sound, with sampler , more urban. So dJVLAD was right, about wheat he heard, Mj fired Quincy jones. And Dangerous its not about teddy Riley, its Bill Bottrell too

[@vontebrown1284]

There been stories how Quincy knew the sound was changing, and wanted Mike to have a new sound, I guess they couldn't come to a conclusion with the 50 songs already recorded, and they both wanted something bigger, and Mike also wanted a new sound, hence why Quincy helped Teddy get the meeting, which Teddy literally just said in the video

[@kachebeeabdullah4297]

Very Interesting...

[@mrmiggedy123]

Quincy didn't want to wait another year or 3 to make another record with MJ. Quincy told MJ that hip-hop infusion is the way he should go and Mike dismissed him during the Bad recordings. So the next album, Teddy and Marley Marl were in the hat of choices for producing his next album. That's the truth.

Fun Fact: Michael had heard "We Can Spend The Night", a track included on Guy's eponymous debut project (1988) and loved it; therefore, he became interested in working with Teddy and wanting that sound (New Jack Swing) on his next project. This was another factor that played a role in their partnership reaching its dissolution. Next, Michael and Teddy team up, release DANGEROUS (1991), and the rest is history. I think their collaboration is one of the best in music history.

I also remember walking into the mall, and you could barely get through the door without almost falling over the Thriller Jackets display ($450 per jacket). I was a huge fan of Prince, too, but Prince just could not do it like Mike; Mike just had something magic about him that no other artist did.

[@chrislacy1990]

Since Teddy Riley was unclear in his answer, here’s the “Cliff Notes” version of what happened: - Michael and his B-Team of producers started working on ‘Bad’ in January 1985. Quincy was working on other projects at the time such as ‘The Color Purple.’ - When Quincy joined the ‘Bad’ sessions in July 1986, most of the album was done. Q and MJ clashed over creative differences. Q wanted more live instrumentation like ‘Off the Wall’ and ‘Thriller’; MJ wanted to use sounds the human ear hadn’t heard before. - While Michael admired Quincy as a mentor/father figure, he knew ‘Bad’ would be their last album together. They fulfilled their contractual obligations plus MJ grew tired of critics saying (1) he abandoned his black roots, and (2) Quincy was the reason for his success. - MJ recruited Teddy Riley for ‘Dangerous’ in early 1990. And before MJ gave ‘Dangerous’ to Epic/Sony, he sent the album to Quincy for his feedback. Q called it a “masterpiece.”

When was Teddy Riley broke. He is my man. He tells a great story. Love this story. Only a master can do what Teddy did in succession. Killed all the remixes. That Jane Child song was a banger💪🙏

[@brownin329]

He was broke after he had that issue with Gene Griffin.

[@rahsaanhill5781]

I wish the music that MJ and LA Reid and Babyface worked on would had came out. LA said in a interview that they had worked on on a few songs together.

[@abefinklestein711]

Type in M.J Angel, i believe la & babyface produced that one

[@ToniTone75]

You have to listen to Michael's Xscape album. LA REID went into the vault and grabbed a couple of songs that him and Babyface produced for Michael. The other half of that album are remixes that LA REID had Timbaland and others contribute

THRILLER WAS INSANE!

Thriller was his peak. No other album is as iconic. Great, but not as iconic

[@fabchandler2039]

I was presently there at this interview… a super dope season 🔥

[@BigDapPacino]

Quincy Jones was more in a executive producer mode than spending time...actually composing...you have to remember that Quincy Jones was working with A&M Records, he had his Qwest label to supervise, he had Patti Austin, Siedah Garrett, James Ingram, and other artists under his wing with Tevin Campbell being a teenager with the potential to have the successful career Micheal had as a solo artist...at a even younger age...people also need to remember that MJ was signed to Epic before Sony entered the picture and he had his own management team after Joe Jackson was pushed out...MJ had released a couple of solo albums before Quincy Jones entered the picture...Micheal was co-writing and co-producing songs ...trying to stay current and not being left behind ...he was about to launch MJJ Records with Quo, 3T, Brownstone, Floetry, and others...MJ hired Teddy to give him a updated sound !

[@KtotheG]

I never saw Tevin Campbell as the next MJ. Although he did sound similar to Micheal when he was a kid, he lacked the It factor.

[@earlredding6756]

Earl Redding the real og MJ lets us be real have a open mind deal with logic M J was the best music entertainer the creator ever n the universe there is no ending his music is played on the radio more than any I mean any entertainer every live past present future and beyond he was BLESS peace

[@DJWildstyle7997]

Quo Funk lmao with Wade I remember that video........Tevin's I'm Ready album was a classic

[@wzupdet]

Michael had been successful since he was 8. Tevin wasn’t gonna be Michael by a long stretch

[@rossfromsa]

Michael was writing music at a young age, helping choreograph and produce at a young age, gave input into music video concepts. Tevin was talented as a singer at a similar age as Michael was, but that was his major strength. You really can't compare them. Remember by the time Off The Wall (a classic, great album) was released, Michael was 2 weeks shy of turning 21. Incredible.

[@greatest515]

Teddy went all around the world to tell this story. Half way through I forgot what the topic was even about. Cmon bro

I love that Teddy is just reciting an old business conversation, while Vlob is laughing like a school girl because he finds anything about black culture so riveting and exciting that it just puts Vlob on the edge of his seat 😂

Word to my mother and my brother, I was singing the Jane Child joint in my head earlier

[@donovanbrown7993]

Most people say THRILLER was mikes biggest album… I say it’s BAD. Bad was musically on another level and it was so different. Speed demon, Liberian girl, the way you make me feel and man in the mirror among others. I think that album had more singles on it than any of his albums. That album was so classic!!!

[@wingchundragon]

Its actually better than Thriller

[@AWolfInWolfsClothing]

Speed Demon and Dirty Diana my personal two favorites 🔥🔥

[@eddiethomas1156]

personally i prefer thriller

[@donovanbrown7993]

@@AWolfInWolfsClothing mine are another part of me and man in the mirror. But it was so many hits on that one

[@keldorthebluemack]

Bruh stop! Thriller changed the game musically.They thought they couldn't go any further with Off The Wall that was a perfect R&B/Disco album and they came back and changed the game with a sound never heard before.Bad is Micheal's 4th best album I liked most of the sound overall but the only highlights as you mentioned were The Way You Make Me Feel,Man in the Mirror,and Smooth Criminal.Speed Demon was corny even though I liked the beat and so was Liberian Girl.Dirty Diana and Give In To Me was more rock they were cool but nothin to put on repeat like most of the album.History was better than Bad shit even Dangerous might've been and I really didn't like that album that much either except for like 5 or 6 songs.After your first two albums were perfect or changed the game there's nowhere to go but down

[@dawuduhaneef2122]

These are some very interesting video, I hope younger artists and producers are paying attention. Teddy Riley is a genius, keep rocking bro.

[@mrspeaker89]

Remember the Time is my favorite MJ song of all time

[@swilljonez2699]

I could listen to him tell stories for ever! 🐐 💯

[@tamikabroyles6627]

i believe michael and quincy not working together was a mutual understanding between the two. michael started working and writing songs for the dangerous album in 1989 after the bad tour ended and it was the end of the 80’s decade heading into the 90’s and the new jack swing sound was taking over and michael was fully aware of that and wanted to include that sound with a twist of his style onto the dangerous album. michael was all about evolving and doing different sounds and wanted complete creative control of how his album should sound. michael learned a lot from quincy he started working with him at 18-19 years old and now it’s the end of the decade entering the 90’s and michael was 31-32 years old michael was on a whole new vibe and the album still became highly successful without quincy’s producing touch.

[@ph1021]

That "I Don't Wanna Fall In Love" Remix with Jane Child is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
