I'll vote for anybody except Teddy Riley for one reason:

He's largely responsible for the one song I hated THE MOST in the 90s: No Diggity.

To this day I hate that awful corny song. It's the worst.

I loved Teddy's music back in the day and still love a lot of it now... but some of those New jack swing songs sound kinda dated and corny now. When I listen to some of Teddys songs now they don't sound that good... some of the production sounds kinda cheap. But if I listen to some of Jam and Lewis songs that came out "years" before Teddy's... they still sound high quality and very professional.

Teddy was dope but I think Babyface and Ried and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis had better overall music production. Here's how I rank them....

1. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
2. Babyface and LA Reid
3. Teddy Riley

Here's a song I always liked from "Jam and Lewis". I like the chill, laidback vibe of this song... a lot people never heard or forgot about this song...
