Eric Williams is one of my favorite singers in the music Industry.🎙
His voice is incredible...First heard him on LL's "Around The Way Girl "
I love him too
@@rondavis19 Same here. Classic song too.
You stay with the dope interviews.
🙏🏾
👏🏿
THIS MAN’S VOICE! I love to hear him sing! I can’t wait to hear the new album!
🤦🏾♂️ Dam.. I so didint know🙏🏽 Darryl "Dezo" Adams🙏🏽 passed last Feb..
Yes, such a loss 😥
@@HalftimeChat Anyone know the cause of death??
Eric Williams is definitely the underrated lead vocalist of blackstreet i know people prefer chauncey but I always liked Eric better
These tracks were also smooth and easy
Mark Middleton Vocals was not playing around on Another Level
Honestly Eric, Chauncey, and Mark each held it down. Eric did have those smooth vocals which I feel u!!! Im glad these 3 plus Levi have formed the NEW Blackstreet!!! 💯
@@DJShawn1980NYC
Yes, Mark is a vocal beast.
Yes!!! He’s (Eric) my favorite vocalist ever from the group.
Mark was a good singer
Mark had my ears at full attention on Another Level
@@DJShawn1980NYC so underrated! Not enough solo parts too!
Yessss! His voice hit different. Love him ❤️
Great info. Can’t wait to hear the new album . 👍🏽
Thank you very much 🙏🏾
Another great interview with good questions.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Keep up the dope interviews bro
Thank you, very much appreciated 🙏🏾
Teddy Riley got a bad rep with R&B groups he's in
I get the solid impression that Teddy is a really bad guy. Money is a hell of a drug!
I'm his biggest fan and will continue to enjoy his music. I'm learning that the music industry has a way of bringing out the worse in people who have been burnt before. He is not the first but it's never nice hearing stuff like this about your favourite Artist 😥
Def, a destroyer of a good thing.
Lol I said the same thing, "You don't know who Leela James is?!" She's a female Anthony Hamilton. Great singer! Anyway, good interview.
Thank you.
Don't worry I've been sent every single she has released since this interview went down ☺️
I still have another level 2, and that album was dope. The only song I didn’t like was Wizzy Wow. Everything else was🔥🔥
Leila James has one hell of a voice!! Yes!
Another level II was 🔥🔥🔥
Leela James Very GoodSoul Singer* Yes! ..and She's Great Live Too!!
Anybody know that theme song that plays at the end? That chord is fire!!!!
Music: For Love
Musician: Jeff Kaale
@@HalftimeChat Thanks I got it now!
THANK YOU.
I believe Teddy left him in the cold. the song good loving was written and composed by me which was stolen by a DJ by the name of DJ Irock out of San Bernardino County ,at the time he had hookup with Teddy Riley and his Studio out there in Carolina I do not think Teddy took the song from me because I know he was presented the song but yes good loving I composed and wrote and the first verse when he's saying my mama told me I'm speaking about my actual mother who was right now about to be 80 years old with dementia. I was young and was a fool and did not copyright and trust it the people I was around but at the end of the day that is one of the best songs on that another level and even though I didn't get paid or credit I know I have a part because I wrote the song. I did not get compensated but I know the DJ did because all of a sudden he up and moved to Texas and bought a home, hmmm! So yes the industry a very dirty want everything for free from your talent and will leave you out in the cold
Wow 🥺
I get the feeling that Eric doesn't like uptempo tracks. 😂😂
I didn't mind Level II. It had a few tracks from Teddy's solo project, plus Look In The Water from Mike E's Masterplan album (fantastic use of Simply Red's Holding Back The Years). Wizzy Wow is lyrically weak, but jams when played loud.
@Perverted Alchemist Yes, just listened 2 that album a few weeks ago. Was a decent album that got lost in the shuffle.
I need Dave Hollister and Mark M. to do some records together
I was loyal I bought that Guy 3 album, Finally and Level 2 and really only liked the Ticket to ride intro. Lol
🤭
teddy had a lot of hit and miss record in the early 2000s he was experimenting . the late 2000s I was feeling his production with billy cook and de la ghetto. Teddy has his moments of hit and misses when he catches its magical. another level II was a good
He definitely has more hits than misses. As my favourite Producer and artist ever, I wonder why he became less adventurous after the late 90s.
@@HalftimeChat Age, ego.....other focuses.
How you a fan and you aint listen to these albums tho?
Dope interview still
After the Finally album I passed in Blackstreet especially hearing the first single.
@@HalftimeChat yeah gotta admit wizzy wow wasn’t it
😂😂😂
Is it me or Eric Williams sounded evasive, like he didn't really want to answer the question?
Eric Williams rarely does Interviews but he was more honest and forthcoming than I had expected
True Facts
THAT WHY THE MUSIC INDUSTRY MUST FALL !!!!!!!!
i wish you could hear the interview volume at a clear and louder tone. this is very interesting. Sad, that i have to leave but i cant take it.
Sorry, this was one of the few times when the sounds weren't at it's best
Wizzy Wow was shitty wow. There were so many singles they could have gone with like Ticket to Ride
😂 hence the fallout 🤭
@@HalftimeChat great interview as usual brother! Looking forward to the new BlackStreet album
@@dwayneadamsworld thank you 😊
I loved every song on the album except for Wizzy Wow. I don’t know what Teddy was going through on that track.
@@fantasybouthour6679 😂
Okayyyy, IF 3-4 Of all 6 members (IN. THE MIDST of all the Switchup of Members)are putting T.R on BLAST on several different interviews (current or upcoming)...EVERYbody CAN'T BE LYIN on the Same PERSON!!!!YA THINK???
TOXIC TEDDY got some Narciss ISSUES ON!!!! #💯💯💯💯💯(500)
😥
Exactly what I said. Love the music, but starting to really dislike the person.
Every story has 3 sides to it
@@marcocrawford938 And all three sides shows that Teddy is the problem. Everyone who has worked with him tells the same story. He's just not good at business, nor is he fair.
@@cajunbatman do you know teddy riley personally? do you know these blackstreet clowns personally? if not you dont know who is telling the truth. eric williams is jealous just like chauncey. so there are three sides to this story
Baby Mama Drama was my shit..
Hi are you doing
Thanks for checking out some of the Interviews 😊
That was me I was there not LIL Charlie
Another level failure? The album was dope.
The sales of Another Level II led to them breaking up and losing their Record deal
I liked that shit wizzy fam 🤦🏽♂️😩😂
😂😂😂
Yeah wizzy wow was trash.
I hated that song.
Sho was. And thas not even looking back at it. Even at the time it dropped I thought was a huge miss. Ted was interviewed about it, I think it was in Vibe... when he said wizzy wow was “used to describe how fine she is”, I read that was like...😣🥴. It felt very dated. Felt like some 80s NYC type ish in a throwback pinstriped zuit suit wit a heavy chain on lol. Imma HUGE Teddy fan, but even I had to be like, “NO.”
Eric ain’t neva lied about Wizzy Wizzy Wow. And thas not even looking back at it. Even at the time it dropped I thought was a huge miss. Ted was interviewed about it, I think it was in Vibe... when he said wizzy wow was “used to describe how fine she is”, I read that was like...😣🥴. It felt very dated.

Teddy is the EVIL GENUIS no cap..👺😡🤡👿
😅
What Is So Wrong With Deep Lmao It’s A Good Song Yes It Was Misplaced On That Song But He Wasn’t Wrong For Using It
As a big Teddy Riley fan, Deep is an okay song but when you have 20 of your best against Babyface, then that song isn't even a top 10 Blackstreet song.
Deep was dope. 🔥
It’s a business .... you get what you negotiate. If it was money owed then you take your paperwork to court and recoup. Teddy is a businessman these singers are not on the same level as Teddy. So why do they think they are an equal. Stop the bullshit
That's why they left.
Teddy Riley is on another level to all this guys. Teddy is the brand.
💯 agree. Teddy Riley is a brand
