Hey everyone! Thank you very much for your comments! The fact that we can all come together to enjoy this music is incredible, especially in such a challenging time of polarization and COVID-19. To those of you who grew up during the NJS era, thank you for your stories. To people like me born after the NJS era (I'm 21), I really hope you enjoyed hearing this excellent genre of music. Unfortunately, "Secret Rendezvous" by Karyn White was recently cut from the video due to copyright issues. This drives my OCD brain crazy and makes the video seem incomplete. I encourage anyone who hasn't heard the song to give it a listen. As I stated several years ago now, I still wish to make a follow up to this video in the relatively near future. Unfortunately college and work has been consuming most of my time recently, so it's been harder to stay active on TH-cam. However, I will be graduating in May and intend to resume my TH-cam activity pretty soon here. Best regards to all of you, and stay safe!
Dude, make that dream happen! Stay motivated, especially during these trial times. Do not give in to the negative hype, what ever thay may be out there. I appreciate all the time and hard work you put into making these awesome videos. So many memories, bro! Once again, nothing but love and respect from Central California! 🌲🌲🌲😎😎😎🌴🌴🌴
yea that time period was a great period for dancing period. u had new jack swing, house music was really booming around tha time period too....it was just a great time
Teddy Riley deserves his OWN wing in the music hall of fame .....he either created or influenced nearly every groove on this list, and produced COUNTLESS other popular and influential New Jack Swing grooves NOT on this list......
@Jamal Vines I don't "study" anything in music. I only know what I hear. Teddy Riley branded New Jack Swing as we know it. I know there were plenty of influences behind it, just like any other genre of American music. Rock is influenced by jazz, be bop, swing music, etc. Is it jazz or swing? It's a potpourri of different influences. New Jack Swing is a specific style of r&b popular influenced by many sounds popular at the time and sounds that preceded it, in a specific time period popularized by several music producers, most notably Teddy Riley. That is just a fact. American popular music is a hodge podge. D.C. GoGo is not New Jack Swing. That's it's own musical genre and it was nowhere near as popular on the pop charts.
@Jamal Vines Of course it was influenced by hip hop. I said it was inspired by music popular at the time, and hip hop was popular at the time and still is. I hear a hell of a lot more hip hop influence then f*cking GoGo. I'm looking at the particular style of music that was POPULARIZED by TEDDY RILEY and other artists and producers at the time. There is always influences and an evolution in any genre of American music. I don't understand why that is such a disagreeable statement to you. I am not a goddamn musicologist. When LAY PEOPLE like myself think of New Jack Swing we think of Teddy Riley and other producers and artists. and many people agree with me. What the f*ck do you have against Teddy Riley? Does he owe you money or something? Damn..
@Jamal Vines First you say it's from GoGo, then you say it's just R&B over Hip Hop beats. You're all over the place. IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS. I'm just saying it's a style of popular music that was branded and popularized by Teddy Riley at a specific time period. I don't even understand what you are arguing about. I'm not talking about its origins or influences but the popularized genre itself. You are trying to be a historian and musicologist, and I'm talking as a fan of New Jack Swing. Damn....

Janet Jackson popularized the genera with her album control a year before teddy riley produced a new jack swing hit. Nasty is probably the first hit njs song
I'm a 80-90's girl from Japan, proud to say that I know every single song in this vid, still know all the lyrics and can sing along to them too. It used to be so much fun back then to go out to Roppongi, Tokyo with my girlfriends on weekends, to all the gigs and clubs... I miss the old days...*sobs 😭😭😭
Chris brown is only really one who Carrie's the new jack style these days but only the choreography style not the sound. Mars was ok but missing bit a flash ain't new jack wit no flash.
My fav Bobby album was his 3rd one BOBBY not just because I was in the studio a few times when he was recording it with Whitney, Teddy, and Blackstreet, the melodies, and the beats were vicious and dope...really really street...Teddy acted a fool on that album...
THAT TECH GUY At his peak, he ventured in a side project with the Bobby Brown Posse (BBP). I thought this work was very....BOBBY. Here’s a foot tapper from them. th-cam.com/video/lNNLa4dAqu8/w-d-xo.html
heyitsablackguy Most of these songs were created with electronics by technicality. Of course, there's always the keyboard/keytar on deck, and Joe Public does actually play instruments, but I do agree with you. We need more instrumentation these days.
New Kids on The Block and Milli Vanilli took the sound down to cigarette butt, with mass production and that corporate image scam, because there was a chance that any other did it like Milli Vanilly did with talent throned models. And it lost all maturity and force when lyrics became more dirty and angry in the following R&B and Rap wave.
New Jack Swing was on the only genre shifts in music that should not really have died out. While there was a fairly simple structure to songs, the artistry between acts was diverse enough that it should have sustained it. The great thing about these artists is that if they created the same music under an urban R&B category they would be successful. But like most genres that are huge then die, the money was thrown around so much that ANY new artist was attempted to put into the New Jack Swing-genre without someone being smart enough to say what was good and what wasn't. Luckily there really wasn't a lot of bad artists but if yoiu were bad, you were REALLY bad. But it was a great time to be young and out to the clubs because every song was one you could dance to and was fun.
New jack swing hasnt really died. The fusion between r&b and hip-hop continued through the 90s, 2000s, 2010 and now. R&B since the late 80s has always mirrored what hip-hop was doing.
@Thomas Whalen The structure may have been "simple", but the music (e.g. chords, notes used in the basslines, notes used for the musical hook, etc.) and vocal arrangements WERE NOT :-) NJS is about being very musical over a very "sonically aggressive" beat...without weakening the impact of the beat. Babyface, Terry Lewis/Jimmy Jam, Teddy Riley and The System "pulled it off" masterfully, but there were others.
Sho Nuff Tell me about. I was in college and me and my buddies would hit the dance clubs/house parties and parties inside the college campuses. Those were the days....where violence was hardly though of as it is today.
i think Dom Kennedy got that 90s vibe (not all of it) ...i cant think of any more now but a lot of underground artists on the west that came up with TDE got some throw back shit and LA is where id say it is at for that VIBE
Hearing this music makes me smile although it was a painful time for me being a kid watching my mom battle cancer .. Then loosing the battle in 1990.. I can honestly say it was the music that kept me going and made me have a little bit of happiness.. Everything was so upbeat, the dancing and fashion trends.. Pure fun! Ok as far as Heavy D is concerned.. The over weight lover Heavy D .. Girls they love me... Should be on that list with out a doubt..the track was bang in'
Heavy D was one of the artists that made Teddy Riley successful...he worked with Doug E Fresh and Kool Moe Dee before Heavy but the way Hev incorporated R&B into the Rap music without being corny.....he changed the game up!
It's hard for me to argue against that list well done. I'd add a few of my favourites: 2 Hype - Entouch, It's No Crime - Babyface, In The Heat of the Moment - After 7, Games-Chuckii Booker, Come & Talk To Me - Jodeci, My Kinda Girl - Rude Boys, I Like The Way (Kissing Game) - Hi Five, Sensitivity - Ralph Tresvant, I'm So Into You - SWV. Damn I miss those days :(
I was in high school from 89-93. New Jack Swing was the soundtrack to this most transformative time of my life. Thank you to Guy, Today, Troop, Full Force, Al B Sure, Christopher Williams, Keith Sweat, Bobby Brown, Johnny Kemp (RIP), Portrait, Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD...all of you for this magical and Golden Era of music for me.
Teddy Riley is a musical savant and if he is not in the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame", he should be. This man single handedly forever changed the sound of r. and b. music. He was the hip-hop generation version of stevie wonder by merging hip-hop music with r. and b. with that fast, up tempo beat that dared a listener not to dance. When michael jackson recruits you as a producer, that sums it up. 100!
*RIP Johnny Kemp. GUY was HOT back then. Teddy, N.E., Bobby, Janet's Rhythm Nation, T.T.T., BBD, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant. Such a small window of great performers*
Damn, teddy riley man should get more credit.Most producers may have some songs or a summer but t.r had years of hits. Damn!!, I did not know he had this many hits.fucl hits, he had a sound.Pharrel even learned from this cat...He could be the most talented producer of music period.It is arguable at least...
If you only knew the half fam i had the pleasure to learn from him and his producers in va beach. those years taught me alot to the tune of me writing a song called request line for Zhanes 2nd album. i could tell you lots of stories about teddy riley you wouldn't believe mostly positive. This video on youtube the 30 greatest is cool, it is about 70% right, there are a few songs that should not be up there....but were is Why You Getting Funky On Me a Today-Teddy Riley produced gem from House Party Soundtrack, or My Fantasy or Right here by SWV, there is about 10 more songs that could have easily been on this list...nothing from TLC or Mary J. Blige?
Vanessa Williams comfort zone, running back to you, Keith sweat keep it coming, I wanna, how could you forget soul 2 soul their songs never actually stopped being played on the rb stations
Man, your DJ was considered trash if it didn't let Teddy's Jam play right after. It was like an extended medley that was divided in two just for the CD/Cassette.
The first clip reminds a little bit of a scene from Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel. How the dude is walking besides the woman🤨. Who agrees?
Michael Jackson's video for The Way You Make Me Feel was released in 1987. The first clip here is Bobby Brown ("the dude") in his Don't Be Cruel" video, released in 1988. Michael influenced the world✔
Hi-Five's "I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)" or Ralph Tresvant's "Sensitivity" could also be included, but I'd say that song is a mix of R&B and New Jack Swing.
You would leave the club covered in sweat. Take breaks watching other people's spectacular dance move and count the days in the week whether at work or at school until it was Saturday again.
It can not be described...lit the bomb the shit sick and etc... if you can think it we already did it! From the 80s we began to create new music and in the 90s well what can I say. WE KILLED THAT SHIT YO!!!! just saying.
Melanin Proud23 I know... the 90s were amazing, an awesome vibe & listening to music is the only way to recreate in ones mind a time that has unfortunately past... devastating!
Born in '02, I discovered New Edition and I fell in love IMMEDIATELY. I really enjoyed listening to New Jack Swing after. I'm always listening to Bobby! ♡
@@mrkelvink I'm Your Baby Tonight (and actually more appropriately My Name Is Not Susan) were both uptempo, R&B dance tracks with an early 90's vibe. Candy Rain should definitely have made that list as well, but Jodeci never really did anything uptempo or danceable that I can recall.
@@waynenob1 About half the songs on MJ's "Dangerous" album (many of which produced by Teddy Riley) would fall into the NJS category. Jam, Dangerous, I Can't Let Her Get Away, and Remember The Time.
Great list. Don't change it. I do like to mention some songs that could have made the list also: Keith Sweat - Something just ain't right Kid 'N Play - Ain't gonna hurt nobody Janet Jackson - Alright Hi Five - I like the kissing game Today - Girl I got my eye on you Today - Why you get funky on me The Good Girl - I need your love James Ingram - It's real Jeff Red - Outstanding Black Flames - Dance With Me Basic Black - She's mine
The fact you put Christopher Williams on here *thumbs up* but no Troop, Levert, Jodeci, HTown ect.. still a great list. I wouldn't say Whitney was NJ though.
+Jill Valentine No she's not a NJS artist but that SONG had a NJS tempo. NJS was really R n B with a "move your butt tempo" and they had to also have the same attitude when singing too!
There was also a group called "Basic Black". They only had 1 album but probably one of the best albums of that time period. The 90's had THE best music hands down. There's good music out now, but nothing holds a candle to the 90s. No question.
I am considering making an additional NJS video. Please feel free to share with me your thoughts on this idea, as well as some songs you think should be included. I will not guarantee a songs inclusion, but will take the time to look into the songs you list. Here are some songs that I am considering adding in the sequel (if it happens.):
Aaliyah Back & Forth
Babyface It's No Crime
Bell Biv Devoe Do Me!
Bobby Brown Roni
Bobby Brown On Our Own (Theme from 'Ghostbusters II')
Bobby Brown Humpin' Around
Debbie Gibson Losin' Myself
En Vogue All My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)
I would also add I Get the Job Done by Big Daddy Kane, Pumps and a Bump by MC Hammer, Teddy's Jam 2 from Guy, Rump Shaker from Wreckx n Effect, Ain't Too Proud 2 Beg from TLC, and Somebody For Me from Heavy D and the Boyz.
Some good choices but many tracks listed here simply are not New Jack Swing like En Vogue - Hold On etc. You could have added Today - Why you get funky on me, James Ingram - It's Real, TLC - Ain't too proud to beg, Another Bad Creation - Iesha.
Its all thanks to GTA San Andreas for putting me onto this amazing period in time. This is gonna sound cringe but looking back the 90's seemed like a magical time. The closest thing we have to a time machine is the internet and for that I'm grateful.
Anytime. I agree, some of my favorite artists are part of the NJS genre. One thing I've always appreciated about Teddy Riley and Guy is that they were great role models. It wasn't all about sex and breaking the law, and they stayed away from drugs.
Nathaniel Jordon Yo!!! This is new jack swing baby! I grew up with this music! Im surprised you're a millennial and get down with this music, I give you much props. Hearing NJS brings a tear to my eye of all the fun times I had with my boys when I was growing up.
Xilo Channel Thank you!!! I'm glad I brought back the memories! Trust me, I would have loved to be born in the mid 1970s so I could have grown up with this awesome music! I was born in '98 though so what I first heard was mostly junk.
Nathaniel Jordon FYI, I know you're too young (and i'm going 10 yrs ago and even maybe 5 yrs ago) they still blast "poison" in every club once a night guaranteed. Black clubs and White clubs. Michael, and Janet, mmmm... Don't know that they'd qualify as NJS. - Edit My credentials I guess are that i've been a nightclub bartender for 7 years, and on a reality show as a bartender for 2 years during that time.
Hey, Al B. Sure - Off On Your Own (1989) and Missunderstanding (1990) ; Guy - My Fantasy (1989); Baby-face - It's No Crime (1989) ; BBD- Poison (1990);Troop - Spread My Wings (1990); Hi-Five - I Like The Way (1991);
I'm so glad to see "Don't Be Cruel" listed as the first song. Nobody credits Bobby Brown for introducing the New Jack Sound on a mainstream level, but he did. New Jack may be Teddy Riley's baby but Bobby Brown was the doctor that delivered it.
That is because Teddy Riley produced that song by Bobby and the majority of the songs on that album. Teddy produced (the producer) most of the songs in this video
I applaud you young man , you have a nice list started but I'll give you a revised additional artist list to include on your next top 30 they are : Riff- " Everytime my heart Beats" Today -" Girl I got my Eyes on you" Deja - " Made to be together" Special Generation -" lift your head" TCF Crew - " I ain't the one" Janet Jackson -" Alright", Heavy D - " We got our Own thing" Troop - "Spread my Wings" TLC - " Aint to proud to beg " The Good Girls - " Your Sweetness" Rude Boys- " My kinda Girl" Basic Black - "Special kind of Fool Wrecks N Effect- "Rumpshaker" Kool Moe Dee- " Wild Wild West Father Mc - " Close to you " Just listen to those and get back at me .......Greg
Thank you sir. Though I didn't actually select the songs for this video, I do appreciate your input. Perhaps those will appear in part 2 if I ever make one. I'll take a look at those.
I was born dancing and I can not imagine a world without music and moving... I went to clubs to dance and had room to dance. I use to make cassettes back in the day that had all the best jams on em. Yeah, what i would give to re-live some of those nights out dancing. Thanks for putting this together Nathaniel, for being 21 you sure did New Jack good. Awesome that you even know about Portrait. Michael was a friend of mine and a cool guy. If only we had cell phones back then.... I would have been blowin up TH-cam.
I was born in ‘98 so i unfortunately missed this time period but thank god for my family who introduced me to this great music and to playlists like these for keeping new jack swing alive
Me and my woman say this all the time. It ain't how it used to be. Bruno Mars' "Versace on the Floor" and "Finess" is close to it tho and I hope everyone else catches on. Back then music was about sexin' and dancing. Now I gotta hold up the lyrics to urban dictionary to understand what they talking about
Man the vibe the energy and the style of clothes everything about this time makes me wanna cry. I love in this moment in my head all day. I swear they put extra positive energy in the new jack swing beats . Man
same. was floored to not hear anything else, so looked at the playlist in comments and was shocked. not even Dangerous. not his only album with stuff either. there's Pretty Young Thing, Leave Me Alone, and Another Part of Me too (sure there are more, not remembering others). never liked PYT too much, but all good examples. all from other albums.

Nathaniel Jordon boy did this take me back, had a smile on my face thee entire time..🥰💯
New Jack Swing was EXTREMELY INNOVATIVE, ENERGETIC, AND DANCEABLE!!! A GREAT ERA FOR MUSIC!!!
THIS was my version of Hip-Hop that remains true to this day as opposed to listening to the mess that is heard of today.
yea that time period was a great period for dancing period. u had new jack swing, house music was really booming around tha time period too....it was just a great time
The music was poppin the girls were cold, Money was flowin the best of times

right lolz
Teddy Riley is the originator of New Jack Swing. Put respect on his name.
Remember though,that Teddy's sound was an offshoot of the Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis sound(Janet Jackson,anyone?)
@Jamal Vines It don't sound nothing like go go.

i thought all "new jack" sounds were teddy's
Errique Young It is. He started the sound and others ran with it. I was just paying homage to him
+Gregory Carter I'm hearing you and right on
Janet Jackson popularized the genera with her album control a year before teddy riley produced a new jack swing hit. Nasty is probably the first hit njs song
No but Teddy Riley perfected the New Jack Swing Era. It was loud, big, classy, jazzy and street.
Those who were not around for this era of music, missed a fun time!!
Yea i wasn't born till 1990. But i love me some New Jack Swing
Say it again...Say it again...!
Didn’t they though.. Aaron Hall Hmmmmm like damn
There will never ever be music like this again!!! 😭😭😭
Fuck man, now I see what I missed
I'm a 80-90's girl from Japan, proud to say that I know every single song in this vid, still know all the lyrics and can sing along to them too.

You're cute
Please provide directions for Japanese 80s Rnb and Nu Jack Swing type of stuff
Where is Teddy Riley's Lifetime achievement award. He created an entire SOUND period.
He got one from BET about 4 years ago
he received an award during the Soul Train Awards in 2016 for his contributions to music and creating the New Jack Swing sound.
Him and Janet Jackson really solidified the sound.
The new jack swing need to make a comeback
I totally agree!!!
It did, Bruno Mars’ last album was and killed
Fuck yeah, my personal favorite genre that made the early 90's magical af!!
💯
Chris brown is only really one who Carrie's the new jack style these days but only the choreography style not the sound. Mars was ok but missing bit a flash ain't new jack wit no flash.
I STILL bump Bobby's first album.
His second. His first album was King Of Stage.
My fav Bobby album was his 3rd one BOBBY not just because I was in the studio a few times when he was recording it with Whitney, Teddy, and Blackstreet, the melodies, and the beats were vicious and dope...really really street...Teddy acted a fool on that album...

th-cam.com/video/lNNLa4dAqu8/w-d-xo.html
right
That's not his first album, it was dance and you know it
It's creativity and alot of it is missing in black music. We use to use instruments, write our own music and dance alot.
heyitsablackguy Most of these songs were created with electronics by technicality. Of course, there's always the keyboard/keytar on deck, and Joe Public does actually play instruments, but I do agree with you. We need more instrumentation these days.

An understatement but true.....like what the hell happened.
The New Jack Swing era was the best era in R&B hands down
Fax. nothing can beat that. Hands down
The Neo Soul era is right there neck and neck imo

For the most part, New Jack swing wasn't considered its own genre of r&b at the time. It became a sub genre in hindsight.

The shit that’s out now isn’t New Jack Swing
@Thomas Whalen The structure may have been "simple", but the music (e.g. chords, notes used in the basslines, notes used for the musical hook, etc.) and vocal arrangements WERE NOT :-) NJS is about being very musical over a very "sonically aggressive" beat...without weakening the impact of the beat. Babyface, Terry Lewis/Jimmy Jam, Teddy Riley and The System "pulled it off" masterfully, but there were others.
Hmm
Back when music was fun!
Spryte-WiiMix How is music not fun today?
@@adamp_ a lot of ir is sad depressed drug addict shit.
@@MegaeffinGarchomp17 ok, so sad music exists... Cool we always had that

@Spryte-WiiMix Facts
New Jack Swing is the kind of genre that has enough magic to put a smile on my face - Love it
Man I'm 32 years old I was a shorty during this time. This era can not be duplicated, its classic! I'm truly envious!
Robert Quaintance Right!
Robert Quaintance at least you were there for it, son. Envy nobody, B.U.D.
Robert Quaintance Yeah i agree
I was a newborn in 1988 and wish I was a bit older then
Me too
Late 80's early 90's were the best time for all music. Not just hip-hop, R&B and rap.
Sho Nuff Tell me about. I was in college and me and my buddies would hit the dance clubs/house parties and parties inside the college campuses. Those were the days....where violence was hardly though of as it is today.
Agree - Rock, Indie, House, Salsa were all amazing at the time too. Living in the 90s we weren't really aware what a golden age we were experiencing.
@@3912James are you joking ? The late 80s and early 90s were the most violent times in America.
Jpries
I must have missed it....because I was out clubbing and having a great time. 1988 was my favorite year. 😎
U mean the whole 90s were platinum.
Until someone invents a time machine, this is about as close to being back in the early 90s again as it's gonna get. Wow.
Davis Talhone try the new throwback beat by Finess by Cardi b and Bruno Mars..it's basically a 90s song
Davis Talhone Currently creating a time machine
i think Dom Kennedy got that 90s vibe (not all of it) ...i cant think of any more now but a lot of underground artists on the west that came up with TDE got some throw back shit and LA is where id say it is at for that VIBE
Bruno Mars is bringing 80's/90's back, baby!!
the music IS the time machine
Hearing this music makes me smile although it was a painful time for me being a kid watching my mom battle cancer .. Then loosing the battle in 1990.. I can honestly say it was the music that kept me going and made me have a little bit of happiness.. Everything was so upbeat, the dancing and fashion trends.. Pure fun! Ok as far as Heavy D is concerned.. The over weight lover Heavy D .. Girls they love me... Should be on that list with out a doubt..the track was bang in'
Traveling with Addy Walker I feel you.
Unconditional love died for me one year earlier for me.
The New Jack Swing got me through the dark years
i was thinking the same. this list is missing Heavy D
Traveling with Addy Walker My condolences, I’m happy New Jack Swing was around to give you positive vibes! Much love
I totally understand the pain you went thru. It was the lowest point in my life for a different reason. The music than was priceless and help me too
Heavy D was one of the artists that made Teddy Riley successful...he worked with Doug E Fresh and Kool Moe Dee before Heavy but the way Hev incorporated R&B into the Rap music without being corny.....he changed the game up!
No Jodeci, Intro, Ralph Tresvant, Heavy D H-Town, Troop?! Hmm okay 🤔
No Soul 4 Real either!
wayne noblitt ...word!
@@waynenob1 yea but this list is 87-93.. Soul 4 real didn't drop their first album until 95
@@brandonbates9259 You're right, I didn't think about that part. What's a couple of years? Lol
@@waynenob1 lol time to update the list..but technically 87-93 was the pure New jack era
Can’t believe “On Our Own” by Bobby Brown isn’t on here. It’s New Jack Swing PERFECTED
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
One of my favs but it's not the only one missing
Yes produced by baby face born. I was born in 88
We got our own thing Heavy D and Father MC Treat them like they want to be treated. I forgot Boy George Dont Take My Mind On a trip
He's on here, I seen it!
It's hard for me to argue against that list well done. I'd add a few of my favourites: 2 Hype - Entouch, It's No Crime - Babyface, In The Heat of the Moment - After 7, Games-Chuckii Booker, Come & Talk To Me - Jodeci, My Kinda Girl - Rude Boys, I Like The Way (Kissing Game) - Hi Five, Sensitivity - Ralph Tresvant, I'm So Into You - SWV. Damn I miss those days :(
+Jon B Smooth toni, tony, tone
I was in high school from 89-93. New Jack Swing was the soundtrack to this most transformative time of my life.
Thank you to Guy, Today, Troop, Full Force, Al B Sure, Christopher Williams, Keith Sweat, Bobby Brown, Johnny Kemp (RIP), Portrait, Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD...all of you for this magical and Golden Era of music for me.
Man, Teddy Riley killed it when he came through with MJ on “Remember the Time”🙌🏾
New music can not be compared with New Jack era ,this music lived forever !
It's like comparing magic with a cancer
Whoever put this list together thank you.
You're very welcome!
I was about to say . This video is nothing without Bobby Brown !
I said that about Guy (incl. the Aaron Hall & Teddy Riley solo stuff). :-D
Like Wayne Brady Verizon of every little step too
Teddy Riley is a musical savant and if he is not in the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame", he should be. This man single handedly forever changed the sound of r. and b. music. He was the hip-hop generation version of stevie wonder by merging hip-hop music with r. and b. with that fast, up tempo beat that dared a listener not to dance. When michael jackson recruits you as a producer, that sums it up. 100!
*RIP Johnny Kemp. GUY was HOT back then. Teddy, N.E., Bobby, Janet's Rhythm Nation, T.T.T., BBD, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant. Such a small window of great performers*
Espically Michael Jackson.
Damn, teddy riley man should get more credit.Most producers may have some songs or a summer but t.r had years of hits. Damn!!, I did not know he had this many hits.fucl hits, he had a sound.Pharrel even learned from this cat...He could be the most talented producer of music period.It is arguable at least...
I like to go even further. How many producer can say they created a music genre? For me Teddy will always be the greatest producers of all time.
If you only knew the half fam i had the pleasure to learn from him and his producers in va beach. those years taught me alot to the tune of me writing a song called request line for Zhanes 2nd album. i could tell you lots of stories about teddy riley you wouldn't believe mostly positive. This video on youtube the 30 greatest is cool, it is about 70% right, there are a few songs that should not be up there....but were is Why You Getting Funky On Me a Today-Teddy Riley produced gem from House Party Soundtrack, or My Fantasy or Right here by SWV, there is about 10 more songs that could have easily been on this list...nothing from TLC or Mary J. Blige?
TR Fans: What other producer created a genre?
Prince: Hold my Michelob Zero.
The whole Michael Jackson Dangerous album to be honest.
PKNBPKNB of course it was produced by the creator of NJS
And the Bobby album by Bobby Brown is 30% La Reid and Babyface and 70% Teddy Riley
That was one of his best album.
Facts!
That wasn’t NJS
Great List. Others that should have made it: Troop, "Spread My Wings"; Hi-Five, "I like the way" and Michael Jackson, "In the Closet"
I was like how troop not in this list?!?
@@djericho Exactly!
Vanessa Williams comfort zone, running back to you, Keith sweat keep it coming, I wanna, how could you forget soul 2 soul their songs never actually stopped being played on the rb stations
MJ could own any gente, highly versatile artist. Even anticipated dubstep on his Invincible album.
Appreciate you fam
was born and raised in new jack era .. those dances were so energetic , youthful and fun ... i even had a step when i was little ...
Disco may have Died But New Jack Swing Never Will
@Goomba Oomba I agree!!!!
Mr. Classic TRUE DAT 💯!!!!
@Goomba Oomba Good call.
Disco hasn't died...it grew UP. Soulful house music.
I still got the vibe to disco 🎶 always.... 70s & 80s 🎶 was the best for me after 90s 🎶 everything turned to hog wash. 😄🎤
Before social media, smartphones phones and reality tv. A pure time.
❤
Ron hollywood shuffle: hoe dogs 😂
How would your parents compare your time with their time?
All you needed was the radio and 5 o clock jams
Never got into reality TV or being obsessed with mobiles and cannot tolerate modern r&b as its garbage. Most genres are dead and sold out.
Groove Me is the single greatest NJS song ever!!!
Harley Weedwax yep yep
Harley Weedwax thank you 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Man, your DJ was considered trash if it didn't let Teddy's Jam play right after. It was like an extended medley that was divided in two just for the CD/Cassette.
AGREED!!!!!!
Good choice, but I have go with "Rump Shaker"
RIP Johnny Kemp !
R.I.P. Michael Jackson & Whitney huston as well.
The first clip reminds a little bit of a scene from Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel. How the dude is walking besides the woman🤨. Who agrees?
Michael Jackson's video for The Way You Make Me Feel was released in 1987. The first clip here is Bobby Brown ("the dude") in his Don't Be Cruel" video, released in 1988. Michael influenced the world✔
@@SweetPsMom yep🙂,that's exactly what I meant.The scene looks influenced by Michael Jackson's video.
Yeah, can someone say sexual harrassment? I always wondered why the girls wouldn't just smack the guy so she could get passed...🤔😂
Who else wishes they can hit the rewind button? Lol
I still bang these today!!
Bruuuhh!!
Exactly !
H2O CO2 I do
But we can though💪😎 TH-cam is my time machine
REMEMBER THE TIME, MICHAEL JACKSON
Not new jack swing
Teddy Riley did produce that song and six others on Dangerous with MJ
David sanchez cruz Dangerous is THE BIGGEST SELLING NEW JACK SWING ALBUM of ALL TIME, your absolutely right
Also, Mariah Carey- Someday, I’ve Been Thinking About You, Prisoner.
JAM !!!!!!!
How the hell can Bell Biv Devoe's song "Poison" date back 30 years ago??
Because we are getting old! When 2020 rang in & my boyfriend said,"wow 1990 was 30 years ago!" I nearly cried.😰
LOL
Darcy George man! This news sucks! I’m old!!
It's okay because it's still just as fresh today!!
...and it still will pack the dance floor - so crazy
Who here just came here for Johnny Gill, New Edition, Boys II Men, Bell Biv Devoe, Hi Five , Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, and Michael Jackson?
Me 👍😁
Me😭 I was waiting to see jam or remember the time
Me to
Hi-Five's "I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)" or Ralph Tresvant's "Sensitivity" could also be included, but I'd say that song is a mix of R&B and New Jack Swing.
YES! YES! YES! You just shouted out two of my ALLTIME favorites :)
I'm glad. They're also two of my favorites as well. They instantly put you in a good mood.
Joe A or SWV Weak
SWV I'm so into you
Redhead kingpin and FBI do the right thing too wasn't on the list
If music "development" stopped at New Jack, we would be ok. Very ok in fact 😎😍
100% agree. With you on that
I legit need it to be 1982 - 1997 again. I hate todays music!! :'(

ahhh the feels!! I want to travel back to the 80's as a 21 year old or a teenager.

Yes that definitely belongs on this list. This reminds me I need to watch House Party again during this quarantine lol
@@lichi1244eva Lol right...same
Yep
So many amazing memorable songs......Teddy Riley created a signature sound that's hard to Beat.... LOVE IT ALL....thank you so much
They just don't make music like this anymore

Pocari Suit don't forget Teddy Riley and Denzil Foster/Thomas McElroy. Smh.

It can not be described...lit the bomb the shit sick and etc... if you can think it we already did it! From the 80s we began to create new music and in the 90s well what can I say. WE KILLED THAT SHIT YO!!!! just saying.
ABSOLUTELY
Thank god you put Janet Jackson on here! She hardly gets any recognition for her huge contributions to music.
I wish I could go back to the 90s :(
+Melanin Proud23 the 80's were also classic like it showed on this page

mikey p New York

I know... the 90s were amazing, an awesome vibe & listening to music is the only way to recreate in ones mind a time that has unfortunately past... devastating!
Born in '02, I discovered New Edition and I fell in love IMMEDIATELY. I really enjoyed listening to New Jack Swing after. I'm always listening to Bobby! ♡

It's also missing Soul 4 Real.
@@waynenob1 yes Candy Rain should definitely be in there. Dont mean to nit pick but why was Whitney Houston in there and no Jodeci?
@@mrkelvink Not sure either. I also never considered Micheal Jackson,New Jack.
@@mrkelvink I'm Your Baby Tonight (and actually more appropriately My Name Is Not Susan) were both uptempo, R&B dance tracks with an early 90's vibe. Candy Rain should definitely have made that list as well, but Jodeci never really did anything uptempo or danceable that I can recall.
@@waynenob1 About half the songs on MJ's "Dangerous" album (many of which produced by Teddy Riley) would fall into the NJS category. Jam, Dangerous, I Can't Let Her Get Away, and Remember The Time.
Whose watching in 2020?
Great list. Don't change it. I do like to mention some songs that could have made the list also:
Keith Sweat - Something just ain't right
Kid 'N Play - Ain't gonna hurt nobody
Janet Jackson - Alright
Hi Five - I like the kissing game
Today - Girl I got my eye on you
Today - Why you get funky on me
The Good Girl - I need your love
James Ingram - It's real
Jeff Red - Outstanding
Black Flames - Dance With Me
Basic Black - She's mine
Oops. I meant "Rich Nice - Outstanding " and not "Jeff Red - Outstanding"
Thank you. I'll take a look at those songs
Troop - Spread My Wings
...CeCe Penniston?!!!
We will never hear music ilke this again.
😭😭😭
Nor, will we ever hear Hip-Hop (A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Pharcyde) again.
Sadly you are fucking right
Bruno tried a bit with the 24k album
you will, just restart the video
Words cant describe the feelins I get listen to this
Jane child “I don’t wanna fall in love”
Boy George “mind on a trip “👍👍👍👍💯💯
The fact you put Christopher Williams on here *thumbs up* but no Troop, Levert, Jodeci, HTown ect.. still a great list. I wouldn't say Whitney was NJ though.
+Jill Valentine No she's not a NJS artist but that SONG had a NJS tempo. NJS was really R n B with a "move your butt tempo" and they had to also have the same attitude when singing too!
+Jill Valentine You have my utmost respect for having a Jill icon and handle. :D
Thanks :) Yes she's been my favorite since forever.
Needs to include Heavy D & The Boyz, Paula Abdul, and Babyface as well.
True alot of these are not NJS
Tony toni tone was great they were so underrated!
I feel the same way about Mint Condition.
My fav verse from Any song " Tony Toni Tone has done it again. It Feels Good "
Neither group in this comment section was ever "underrated". Both bands are multi platinum recording artists
There was also a group called "Basic Black". They only had 1 album but probably one of the best albums of that time period.
The 90's had THE best music hands down. There's good music out now, but nothing holds a candle to the 90s. No question.
I am considering making an additional NJS video. Please feel free to share with me your thoughts on this idea, as well as some songs you think should be included. I will not guarantee a songs inclusion, but will take the time to look into the songs you list. Here are some songs that I am considering adding in the sequel (if it happens.):

No problem.
Some good choices but many tracks listed here simply are not New Jack Swing like En Vogue - Hold On etc. You could have added Today - Why you get funky on me, James Ingram - It's Real, TLC - Ain't too proud to beg, Another Bad Creation - Iesha.

I loved Today, still on my playlist, so is that jam by James Ingram
bmarkyt132 Teddy Riley Remixed That's My Attitude 9 Times...Troop...One Love Fam...

This was the BEST time to be a tween/teen ... growing up on this music, and I can testify to that! I STILL jam this music!
Common theme..Teddy Riley, Al B, Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis, Babyface or one of their respective proteges and old school samples. Good stuff
That's Teddy doing the Al B Sure track, to keep it 100 :-)
I was born in 2000s but I adore New Jack Swing genre so much.
Same bro.
Its all thanks to GTA San Andreas for putting me onto this amazing period in time. This is gonna sound cringe but looking back the 90's seemed like a magical time. The closest thing we have to a time machine is the internet and for that I'm grateful.
Same here I love this genre of music with a passion
Nathaniel is the shit for creating this. Bobby was the king!
RIP Johnny Kemp
The best subgenre of R&B and hip-hop ever made outside of jazz-hop.
+ShineyMonkey245 Thats awesome! It's nice to see that people my age (I'm 15) watch my videos.
Thank you. Some of my favorite artists from back when I was growing up.
Anytime. I agree, some of my favorite artists are part of the NJS genre. One thing I've always appreciated about Teddy Riley and Guy is that they were great role models. It wasn't all about sex and breaking the law, and they stayed away from drugs.
Nathaniel Jordon Yo!!! This is new jack swing baby! I grew up with this music! Im surprised you're a millennial and get down with this music, I give you much props. Hearing NJS brings a tear to my eye of all the fun times I had with my boys when I was growing up.
Xilo Channel Thank you!!! I'm glad I brought back the memories! Trust me, I would have loved to be born in the mid 1970s so I could have grown up with this awesome music! I was born in '98 though so what I first heard was mostly junk.
Nathaniel Jordon FYI, I know you're too young (and i'm going 10 yrs ago and even maybe 5 yrs ago) they still blast "poison" in every club once a night guaranteed. Black clubs and White clubs. Michael, and Janet, mmmm... Don't know that they'd qualify as NJS.
- Edit My credentials I guess are that i've been a nightclub bartender for 7 years, and on a reality show as a bartender for 2 years during that time.
Aaron Hall's voice was made for New Jack Swing, and vice-versa; I don't thing one could exist without the other
Same for Bobby Brown
Hey, Al B. Sure - Off On Your Own (1989) and Missunderstanding (1990) ; Guy - My Fantasy (1989); Baby-face - It's No Crime (1989) ; BBD- Poison (1990);Troop - Spread My Wings (1990); Hi-Five - I Like The Way (1991);
Troop! No doubt
Definitely guy my fantasy and Babyface it's no crime

th-cam.com/video/SAcbaD1soLY/w-d-xo.html
I'm so glad to see "Don't Be Cruel" listed as the first song. Nobody credits Bobby Brown for introducing the New Jack Sound on a mainstream level, but he did. New Jack may be Teddy Riley's baby but Bobby Brown was the doctor that delivered it.
Janet Jackson’s “Control” is credited with being the first true new jack swing album.
Ima have to say Keith Sweat also it was around the same time they both my favorites
@@iZaeVideos Janet Jackson definitely was she doesn't gets credit
That is because Teddy Riley produced that song by Bobby and the majority of the songs on that album. Teddy produced (the producer) most of the songs in this video
Keith Sweat - so reminds me of high school. good memories hearing that one. Bobby Brown songs too. All of them.
👍Nobody With Athena Cage classic Keith Sweat song, one of my favourites, I love the Keith Sweat album Get Up On It.
ABSOLUTELY!
How could you not include Bobby Brown's "on our own" and "2 can play that game" , new jack swing essentials 🤩
I applaud you young man , you have a nice list started but I'll give you a revised additional artist list to include on your next top 30 they are :
Riff- " Everytime my heart Beats"
Today -" Girl I got my Eyes on you"
Deja - " Made to be together"
Special Generation -" lift your head"
TCF Crew - " I ain't the one"
Janet Jackson -" Alright",
Heavy D - " We got our Own thing"
Troop - "Spread my Wings"
TLC - " Aint to proud to beg "
The Good Girls - " Your Sweetness"
Rude Boys- " My kinda Girl"
Basic Black - "Special kind of Fool
Wrecks N Effect- "Rumpshaker"
Kool Moe Dee- " Wild Wild West
Father Mc - " Close to you "
Just listen to those and get back at me .......Greg
Thank you sir. Though I didn't actually select the songs for this video, I do appreciate your input. Perhaps those will appear in part 2 if I ever make one. I'll take a look at those.
***** I'm pretty sure I didn't delete your comments.
I applaud you as well Greg! Great additional list.
Greg Alldredge Also Jeff Redd, You called and told me, remix
Greg Alldredge OMG I had riff tapes favorite
I was born dancing and I can not imagine a world without music and moving... I went to clubs to dance and had room to dance. I use to make cassettes back in the day that had all the best jams on em. Yeah, what i would give to re-live some of those nights out dancing. Thanks for putting this together Nathaniel, for being 21 you sure did New Jack good. Awesome that you even know about Portrait. Michael was a friend of mine and a cool guy. If only we had cell phones back then.... I would have been blowin up TH-cam.
All Dope Songs!! I miss the late 80”s, and 90”s!!
God, I miss this era so much. It has some of the best act out there. It was so much fun and relaxed.
Aku kesini berkat NJ ternyata musik zaman dulu sangat enak ❤
This is my favorite era of music. It was, and still is amazing.
EXCELLENT job on this Nathaniel! I could think of at least 50 more that could be added. Ahhh, the best of times...
+AJ Writer Thank you! I've considered making an additional video. It's just hard to pick a few when there's so many great NJS songs.
aquí
Only 50!? I still got cassettes of over a 100! Where's Chuckii Booker,Chris Bender, Highland Place Mobsters, to say a few off the top of the head
Here to get mind off coronavirus
I was born in ‘98 so i unfortunately missed this time period but thank god for my family who introduced me to this great music and to playlists like these for keeping new jack swing alive
This was like a visual mix tape. Loved it.
U did this playlist I believe we gonna have to pass the greens and the family cookout okay LOL
What?
So, where is Karyn WHITE ?...
🤔😶
Definitely her! She had several New Jack Swing hits. Secret Rendezvous, Romantic, The Way You Love Me. She was hot back then
The white person who made this video has no knowledge of the New Jack Swing
new jack swing is love, way better than todays music
Good job Nathaniel. This video really reminds me how SHIT today's music is
FACEandLMS your listening to the wrong type of today's music
FACEandLMS YES.....ABSOLUTELY.......I DON'T LISTEN TO THAT BULLLLSHIT EITHER...they really don't make it the way they use to.
FACEandLMS yeah
Me and my woman say this all the time. It ain't how it used to be. Bruno Mars' "Versace on the Floor" and "Finess" is close to it tho and I hope everyone else catches on. Back then music was about sexin' and dancing. Now I gotta hold up the lyrics to urban dictionary to understand what they talking about
255 meets World none of todays music is like this
I had just started my work life after college in 1989 and it's like all of these songs were in my ear all the time.
So many great memories listening to this list.
A wonderful trip down memory lane....
Definitely 😁👯
This battle between Babyface and Teddy Riley is going to be one to remember! 🔥🙌🏾
Imagine growing up today and missing out on this old school era. Or even worse being a teen growing up today where its all imitation. Sheesh.
damn true asf
Oh Whitney, I miss you so much.
Man the vibe the energy and the style of clothes everything about this time makes me wanna cry. I love in this moment in my head all day. I swear they put extra positive energy in the new jack swing beats . Man
You missed more Michael Jackson songs. His album Dangerous was full of New Jack Swing!
Can't let her get away
Yesssss Dangerous album has so many !! 😍
Like in the closet
same. was floored to not hear anything else, so looked at the playlist in comments and was shocked. not even Dangerous. not his only album with stuff either. there's Pretty Young Thing, Leave Me Alone, and Another Part of Me too (sure there are more, not remembering others). never liked PYT too much, but all good examples. all from other albums.
What's "new jack swing"??
