Ahh the “puff just did it different” defense. Teddy Riley led the charge in creating rap r&b mashups, diddy jacked that trend that was already emerging to be popular on the east coast.
JD produced the remix of baby baby baby
and miss me with the either way shyt. Y’all are literally arguing that two peers who were developing at the same time, in real time, one was being copied? JD was out here producing, being in videos, writing, remixing and launching a label before puff, they both bit the success of gfunk and styled their 94 sound off it. I mean you’re really trying to credit a 92 puff who was an actual background player at uptown as who JD was styling himself after as the label head of so so def while launching the careers of Kriss Kross?
