Yeah, Teddy Riley is a genius producer but several Guy songs would have been MUCH better if he would have just left the lead vocals to Aaron. This is one and My Fantasy is another one.
@@alangordon7869 Aaron Coached Teddy vocally thought the songs. I kinda agree but gotta let him sing occasionally. Idk why Damion never sang almost at all till III. He's barely on the future album.
Music is closest and best form of time travel that we have. Certain songs that I listen to transport me back in time to the first time I ever heard them. One in particular is "Everybody" by the Jacksons....
And the colorful outfits we wore.. I'm talking 8 ball jackets. Hoop and triangle big and little earrings. Graffiti jackets and jeans. Double belts, big gigantic belts, The guys wearin' the original make you drop ya drawers polo cologne! Ya ll don't start me.

There hasn’t never been a group like Guy in the R&B realm that released only two albums at their height but every single they released was a hit. It seemed like they had more than three albums, in which they should of. Guy was the iisssshh and still is.
Teddy made the group. Music is all about the sound first. If you have a good beat, you can have a hit. A voice with no music is just a voice. The beat gets your attention first, then you listen to the lyrics. Long live Teddy Riley and the New Jack Swing!
Wow, Teddy did all the verses and the rap. In an interview I just watched him in, he said he never really wanted to become a artist, but to just do the music. Shoot, him, Aaron and Crazy Legs were a hit! I loved their music, and it still sounds good today.
Thank God I was a teen when all the best music was made. Everything was classy, females and males dressed up to perform. The creativity was off the chart. Real talent....Plua you had to be in shape to perform lol
Dolce Gabbana Guy is certainly one of the best R&B groups, but not the best ever-that honor belongs to Earth, Wind & Fire. However, I think it’s safe to say that Guy is one the same level as the Gap Band, given they were heavily inspired by them. Aaron Hall was Uncle Charlie Wilson 2.0.
Chris Lacy you are close with your description however Charlie Wilson can never be matched by Aaron Hall! However Guy has a place in our hearts as being soulful and trendsetters of the New jack swing movement!!
Bobby Brown & MC Hammer both took heavy notes from Teddy Riley during these Guy years. Their iconic era was merely a child of ideas that came out of Teddy Riley's head & the contributors who gave Guy this specific visual look. I think Teddy's biggest problem was having so many creative ideas that he never stopped to fully own & stylistically master the art of the very styles & trends that started with him. He allowed for the culture to piggy back & create whole legacies under his trail blazed paths he barely ate off of himself. He gave a whole new iconic MJ sound to MJ that stuck with him til death. Technically, we shouldve gotten way more mostly Teddy Riley produced MJ albums. Darkchild was a nice addition to the MJ producer team but other than Quincy Jones, nobody gave MJ a "sound" like Teddy did. You even got cats who worked under Teddy like P Diddy who are years later quoted saying "I invented the remix" when just listening to this mix of this song let alone the other multiple mixes of Teddy Riley's songs, you quickly find Teddy was on it first.
@@Break0fdawn I know, & they changed up their looks & musical styles AFTER Guy came out. Keep in mind My Prerogative was a Guy song that didnt make their first album so Teddy gave it to Bobby who didnt want to sing it like Aaron did on the demo but after doing so dude kept trying to sing more that way over new jack style beats. MC Hammer too didnt debut w/ the intense visual look until Guy did. I know folk were flashy in the 80s but Guy took it to another level & Hammer made it his shtick AFTER they originated the look he "borrowed".
Both Bobby & Hammer did music with Teddy Riley. Hammer did "Pumps & a Bump" with him & Bobby Brown did "My Prerogative" "Get Away" & several other jams.
Well dam. That pretty much summed everything up. Nailed it. Cuz i wuz watchin the Bobby Brown movie bout a year ago. And i didn't even kno Teddy Riley produced my prerogative. That song and sound basically allowed Bobby to reinvent himself. It gave him a whole identity. And again the sound wuz fresh af. That song still sounds jus as good today as it did back then
Guy is one of my favorite R&B band of the late 80"s and 90's. With all their black fan base especially during 1989 and with music videos assisting to boost album sales and their notoriety, I was baffled that there weren't any sistas in this video.
I was bumping this on my iPod 😊, so I decided to look up the lyrics on Loogle and I'm like that's not what I'm listening to! Here I thought this was the original because it's on their collection cd.
Agreed , I found the version on the Album slightly flat compared to the mixes on the 12' vinyl, this version was specially adapted for this video and doesn't seem to appear on the 12; vinyls or the CD single, it is an edited version of one of the mixes on the 12' promo vinyl.
The beginning of the New jack Swing Era 🎶 This where RnB Started From Teddy Riley an others def influenced the creation of Rnb from 88 to 94 a Real crazy era of Rnb in a era where the babies where born the most.
Yoooo, Shoot ijs Guy iz sum Badazz brutha's & they remind me of the FIRST R&B version of Whodini & they are the creators of the New Jack Swing groove, sound & muzik. They be gitn dwn dancing, singing, grooving & jus jammin instrumentally & vocally cos the are ALL talented brothas & I Lovvve Everything abt them & they should be recognized & awarded for their part in the business & They'll NEVA EVER be anutha Guy duplicate EVER IN LIFE & I'm Stl rockin to Guy in 2021!!!🖤🎶🎙🎶🎙🎶🎙🎶🖤💪🏽💯🤘🏽😍😍😍
Geron Jenkins couldnt you just picture MJ playing this song and dancing to it. I always wondered not only what songs did he like of other artists, but i always wanted to see MJ or clips of MJ out grooving to other artists tracks. Its definitely one of my all time favorites. Brings back great memories from the New Jack Swing era for me. And I was a kid then. With an affinity for music. Everything from Metallica to Madonna. From Prince to Guy. MTV VH1 and BET had a major influence on me.
Darius Slaw He probally had some different moves for this song. I didn't know too much about what MJ listened to but I also heard that Michael Jackson loved Heavy D. Teddy said this when he was working the Dangerous album. He said that is the reason why he is performing on Jam.
Michael actually said that he wanted a song as 'hard' as this one. And Teddy came out with "Why Wanna Trip On Me", which was titled 'Stop Trippin' (refering to Michael 'tripping' at him for a song) at the time he showed the song to Michael. We can also hear some similarities between those two songs. :P
This is a genius track. I am a musician, producer and singer I grew up in the era where you played everything and it was produced on real instruments live lol and not all sampled. The change ups in this song is crazy lol.
After hooking up so many acts with hits. Creating a new fusion of sounds(shout out to the Gap Band) that defined hip hop,r&b and influenfluencing pop music for generations. the boy genius gets out in front of the mic to deliver a jam that's still rocking in 2021... anybody me?
Man I use to crank this up in my dorm room at uni back in the day!!! The bass really shook the building from 4:04! God bless Technics and their multi rack sound systems!
Oh my goodness I haven't heard this song in years. I was thinking about why my friends and I were so skinny back in the day. It's because we danced our butts off. Back then everyone did the running man, roger rabbit or whatever on every song. Everyone used to leave the dance floor sweating. Good times!
Aaron Hall not playing no games around this time. His vocals was everything.

Vocal style similar to that of Charlie Wilson.
Yeah, Teddy Riley is a genius producer but several Guy songs would have been MUCH better if he would have just left the lead vocals to Aaron. This is one and My Fantasy is another one.
I 100% agree. I’ve been saying that which seems like forever. I wonder if they had versions of songs with Aaron in the lead which Teddy took over.
@@alangordon7869 Aaron Coached Teddy vocally thought the songs. I kinda agree but gotta let him sing occasionally. Idk why Damion never sang almost at all till III. He's barely on the future album.
Back when artist used to dance!! I'm glad I grew up in this ERA!!
Facts so glad I was born in the 80's from Philadelphia

Steph Wood 😄 Teddy Riley is Mr. New Jack Swing... his influence is far reaching: Jodeci, Bobby Brown, R. Kelly, etc. AND he discovered The Neptune's 😐
yep yep 😃
There hasn’t never been a group like Guy in the R&B realm that released only two albums at their height but every single they released was a hit. It seemed like they had more than three albums, in which they should of. Guy was the iisssshh and still is.
Listen here, if the new jack swing wasn't the soundtrack for your high school or college years, I feel sorry for you cause, whew!!
Classic from 1989! ❤️🔥
This song still bangs over 30 years later. Nothing compares to the New Jack Swing sound. Great music from amazing times!!!
Still the shit 30 plus years later!! Nothing can mess with this !!!!
35 years to be exact
That whole album was kicking
Back when even the hardest dude you could find in the club dancing and shit! Good times!

If you were there, can you confirm the comment above yours from the guy who claims to have choreographed the video?
No you weren't.
Guy was ahead of their time ❤️💯💥
Teddy is genius: the beat is sick, the bridge is sick
Teddy made the group. Music is all about the sound first. If you have a good beat, you can have a hit. A voice with no music is just a voice. The beat gets your attention first, then you listen to the lyrics. Long live Teddy Riley and the New Jack Swing!
Man come on 2024!!!!! This was the music!!! Screaming Teddy!!! Man back when we got everything in class!
This is a TRUE Guy jam.
Oooh lawd Teddy Riley!!!! Can still get it!!
Lol
Frugalista Diva facts
Okay but I thought Black women didn't like short men. I guess a short man with stacks-racks tall money be tall. Hungry hungry hippocrites.
Memes and all, Teddy is still Zaddy.
@babyfaced bella. I HEARD THAT!!!!💯
Lol, Damian "Crazy legs" Hall used to make me laugh when he would dance. Son act like he was on Xenadrine all hyped. Great group
Lol
😂😂
Guy was the shit back then. Would love to see them do a reunion tour.
They've done quite a few over the years.
I did the choreography for this video & the tour that followed...New Jack era!
No you did not! For real?
WOrd??? You did the choreography? WHat was your inspiration?

It is so weird this amazing and original single doesn't have awards
Nothing beats Groove me
Wow, Teddy did all the verses and the rap. In an interview I just watched him in, he said he never really wanted to become a artist, but to just do the music. Shoot, him, Aaron and Crazy Legs were a hit! I loved their music, and it still sounds good today.
Those pelvic thrust got me pregnant 😂😂. They killing that running man.

Real niggaz, do real things!!!! Guy was,and still is the best r&b group there iz.. real talk! Bring it bac!!!
