Not enough baby making music for me....but to each his own:manny:

It is a real good album tho:ehh:

I feel you. I can see how someone would say Jodeci's music was better and I fukks with Jodeci music to the core!

But man, Guy's 1st self titled album is my shyt.

I can dance (Groove Me), sing (I Like), slow dance (Goodbye), and make love (Piece of My Love) to this album. shyt is a masterpiece.

Guy made straight party music with a few bedroom songs. Jodeci's first album was a New Jack Swing album, and the party songs are not as good as Guy's.

I agree 100% :yes:

Guy got it right on the very 1st album. Guy (the album) is a masterpiece. Every single song on Guy is a classic. :ohlawd:

Teddy knew how to do both the uptempo joints and the slow joints. :banderas:

We need a Guy unsung and a biopic :wow:

The back half (songs 6 through 13) of that Forever My Lady album is straight ass.....but the first 5 songs are classic :sas1:

I like GUY better than Forever My Lady as a whole....but thats the only Jodeci album I prefer it over:sas2:

This thread is slowly becoming a Teddy Riley appreciation thread...so might as well do the honors. Teddy's best work imo



This track alone summarize R and B to the fullest. Melodies, chords, a reasonable temp, and soulful singing. It's crazy how MJ didn't hop on this track, but Levy manage to put the shyt to shame. Sad to hear such a voice not getting much recognition outside of Blackstreet once the split happened because holy shyt dude tore this track up something serious.


Most people dont realize that Michael Jackson wrote this joint for the Dangerous album but he let them have it as a favor to Teddy. Listen to it, it sounds like a Invincible cut.

Yup. I've always wanted to hear a demo (if it exists) of Michael singing this song. I mean, you can just hear Michael singing this even when you listen to Levy singing.

The strings on this song were beautiful. Man! :mjcry:

I'm not a huge fan of slow jams/ "baby making music" so I really liked FML's NJS songs like It's Alright and Treat U ( which is somewhat recycled from their song with Father MC)

Yeah, MJ is on the chorus uncredited. You can actually hear him if you listen closely.
