Rodney Jerkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure I can say I've ever really loved anything he's done. That's not to say they're not average to good, but nothing that I'd ever play over-and-over again like something from Timbaland, Danja, or any other contemporary R&B/pop producer.

I dont see how you couldn't be. Dude's a legend.

"You Rock My World" and his work with Brandy and MJB is timeless. I think he errs a little bit more on the safe side as far as production but I think he gets the most out of the artists he's worked with. He had been a little too remix crazy at one point though.

 

[Danie84]

He made alot of classic 90s r&b songs.

 

[cimalee]

dope for what he does not my cup of tea tho

I think you hit it on the head: "errs a little bit more on the safe side."

That could be my issue.

And, I never f*cked with Brandy's music. And the only Mary song I really like (that he produced) was the one where he used that same sample that Lil Kim used for her album, "Hardcore."

Lil Kim - Queen bytch - YouTube

yeah he's def a traditionalist to the early 90s sound whereas newer generation played with more sounds and concepts production wise. Its the same reason why Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis fell off.

 

[Why-Fi]

not really

 

[Sierra Mist]

He's fukking amazing. I was about to make a thread on him. His sound evolves but his 1997-2000 sound was

Say My Name
There You Go

Damn time flies. He did his thing with Gucci and Gaga too. He's in my top 5 of all time.
