a 72-track 5.5hr odyssey into the overwhelming & intimidating catalogue of child prodigy, superproducer, writer, composer & grandaddy of New Jack Swing: Teddy Riley. no commentary from me in the show this time, only remixes, alt versions, s/track cuts, b-sides, unreleased tunes & Ted's extensive remix & production work for other artists & groups. i also spend a bit of time in the mid-80s spotlighting Teddy's unheralded work in the hip hop scene during its infancy (Teddy is an uncredited co-producer of Doug E Fresh & Slick Rick's seminal hip hop classic, "The Show").

I expected to see It Takes Two on here, but anybody that sleeps on Teddy Riley or thinks he's less important than anyone from his era really should listen to this.

but 5hrs is an earful as it is.
it was soooo painful editing this shit down lol.
and the mandate of the shows in general is to not go for obvious stuff (thus mostly remixes n shit of that nature).
i think i worked from a pool of 500 or so joints, whittled it down to the final 72. had to get creative with the mixing and turned 15hrs into 5hrs22mins. didn't get a chance to put Teddy's Jam III in there either.

man Teddy's role in shaping hip hop is huge, and WAY understated. i got a few friends about 5-6yrs older than me who are HUGE Teddy stans, who all got zero idea about his pre-Guy/NJS era work. i was woefully uneducated as well til i put this shit together. mad eye opening.

certain things have aged better than others.

...That sound just wiped everything clean......

not til i had to compile this shit did it really hit me how impactful dude is/was.
