Teddy Riley needs a documentary and biopic. This is a very good interview. Teddy is a phenomenal producer. I'm glad I grew up in the era listening to Guy. They are one of my favorite R&B groups of the 90's. I recently attended the New Edition Legacy Tour with Guy and Keith Sweat. Guy put on a great show.
This man has contributed so much to music. He deserves his flowers now!
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HUNNY -😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅LOOKING SO GOOD2 ME!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes he has!! Extremely beyond talented and very intelligent with common sense beyond his years His story is phenomenal and one of the ones who had a foundation and stayed loyal to his passion WE LOVE YOU TEDDY MUCH HONOR TO YOU THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GREAT MUSICAL CONTRIBUTION IN HISTORY as far as I’m concerned he is the creator of New Jack Swing MAJOR GAME CHANGER IN MUSIC HISTORY 🌺and yes RIH FRANKIE CROCKER RADIO LEGEND TRULY MISSED🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@brendacrawford343 he looks like he hasn’t aged a bit!
This is one of the very best interviews very informative funny and enlightening🥰
OMG I feel bad for Teddy having to deal with Aaron’s arrogant ignorant zzz I’m glad he walked away from guy!! And he’s 1000 percent correct about Rkelly insanely talented but mentally disturbed that went unaddressed
Teddy Riley's impact on hip hop and music is unmatched. Great talent and producer.
He deserves a biopic
I agree 💯 %
He sure does. He is from my era of music. Teddy has aged very well❤️
Definitely
That's up to Him to decide to do one
He doesn’t. How about he write a book.
Y’all gotta get outta that mentality that every famous black person has to sell their story to some studio spa y’all can have some visual entertainment
Teddy is One of the best and intricate parts of the culture hands down💪🏾💪🏾
Teddy is your favorite legend's favorite legend.

💯
Teddy Riley still remains my favourite producer regardless of other stuff. Can't ever deny his amazing talent and musical genius
Nothing compares to the remix of "My Fantasy."
@@lloyddinma Teddy at his best 🔥
If theres a Mount Rushmore of producers Teddy is one of those guys!!! His mind for music creation is crazy!!
@@lloyddinma which version?
@@gaips If you get the single on vinyl, it should be on it. I used to have it in the 90s.
Teddy Riley needs way more flowers than he gets. This man is a musical genius/pioneer whether if you were young or old if you were alive in the late 80s -2000 we all nodded our heads to at least 1 record he made so much good music shout out to Guy, wrecks n effecks,Blackstreet ✌❤💙
I put off watching this when I seen it was over three hours long...BUT when I say it went sooo fast!!! I could watch three more hours of this king!!! Teddy is BRILLIANT & SO HUMBLE!!! I know his music & his work but I have never seen him in an interview like this. I luv that fact that Vlad just let him tell his story without interrupting him & the questions Vlad asked later was good ones. I also luv the things he said about his mom & kids!!! A man that treats his mom like a queen knows how to treat his woman!!! Great interview!! 🔥🔥🔥🥰
This is simply one of those interviews as an interviewer that you just have to sit back and listen to.
EXACTLY
His ear is incredible & I'm proud to call him my brother. 'Make It LAST Forever' is a blessing from THE MOST HIGH. Thank u for our amazing classic records on that album. So proud of what you accomplished. I love u kid!!!!!
Guy was one of my favorite groups when they came out. Keith Sweat's 1st album hit so hard. Teddy produced some of the biggest hits of the late 80s early 90s. Can't forget about Blackstreet
YEP
Backstreet was the reason I became a fan back in 96 97 when my daddy had the cd.. who knew he had done so much already💪🏾💪🏾
Been a TEDDY RILEY fan since 1990
Terrific interview. TR's catalogue certainly deserves 3+ hours of interview! He really gives a good impression of an all-around cool, mellow, nice and humble dude. Thanks for putting this together!
💯💯💯
DEFINITELY.
My God! Seeing those clips of Aaron Hall I clutched my pearls! I don’t blame Teddy Riley for being embarrassed around that guy, I’m embarrassed just for hearing it! Anywho this was a very good interview, I enjoyed it. Teddy Riley, I love his music, his work and seem like he has a down to earth personality, I love it! 👌🏾❤️
I haven't gotten to the part of the interview about Aaron Hall but I just want to say while listening to Aaron Hall's voice and singing ability as lead on the songs, I always considered his voice to be great and he had an amazing singing talent!!! I don't think he has been given the credit he deserves and recognition for his great singing and voice!!! KUDOS TO AARON HALL as well‼️🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉🎉🏆⭐️💯❤️🤍❤️🙂
@@ingerdowning1211 he hasn't I just got done listening to him.
he was just saying whatever he wanted and yes some of it was cringe I've seen his interview years ago.
NO DOUBT AND NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, TEDDY RILEY IS A MUSICAL GENIUS‼️👏👏🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉🎉⭐️🏆💯❤️🤍❤️🙂
Teddy is my entire childhood GOD bless
The word legend is thrown around far to much these days, but Teddy Is the real deal. A Legend.
🤞🏾
no way this just came out while I'm literally SEARCHING for an interview with this legend!!!
BIG LEGEND.
J
Cause Vlad is the GOAT
First time he cursed during this interview, is when Vlad mentioned his daughter’s tattoo of Soulja Boy. His quiet anger is scary. I felt it more than heard it.
This needs to be a movie 🎬 TR is a legend, and everyone needs to see what this man has done for the world.
Shout out to his Barber, got his beard lined up cleaaannn.
Okaaayyy!! Teddy stay lookin clean
Ive Had the Honor of being around & learning from Brother Teddy He iis Icon & if you ever have a chance to be around him. You will see how he is the most giving & down to earth person willing to help any artist or muscian with the knowledge to be better!!!!!!!
Have you worked with Troop before too ???.
I did see you on Troop's unsung episode.
@@musiclover-cn7tb yes that was me Allen McNeil and I did the Troop Reloaded single & I Produce 90 percent of Allen nee solo records
Vlad really needs to learn how to stop interrupting the people he's interviewing & just ask the damn questions. He sounds like he even gets offended when Teddy told him to let him finish. Theses interviews don't have time limits but Vlad acts like he's in a damn rush.
Dude is an absolute legend. Literally created a new genre on his own. There would be no Rodney Jerkins, Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo without him. Hell, you might even argue that MJ might of not been as successful in the early 90's without his production on the Dangerous album.
You was on point untill you mentioned Michael Jackson wouldn’t have had that much success. MichEl Jackson was already the king of all kings in the music game after the bad album. After thriller even. Don’t ever mention Michael Jackson ever again. Bum
I agree, but Michael Jackson was already a legend since Thriller with Quincy Jones.
@@persorlu even after off the wall which I think was his first solo…..he was already a legend in the Jackson 5 ffs.
@@leonleon2276 yes, you're 100% right, but he was on top with Thriller
@@leonleon2276 by the way Leon: Off the Wall is a masterpiece, at least like Thriller, at it's time
When I think of new jack swing, I think of teddy Riley
St. Nick forever! ❤️ (building 277). Talented, musical genius since birth! We used to scream Teddy! -- when he passed PS 154 school yard!🤣I went to school with his little brother. Humble Giant!✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨
THE "COME-UP" STORIES BEFORE THERE WAS AN INTERNET CONNECTION ARE SO GENUINE & INTERESTING. ALSO VERY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE NOWADAYS TO KNOW WHO PAVED THE ROAD BEFORE THEM!!!!!
Listennnnnn I’m about to play all my Teddy Riley favorites when this interview is over
I love how sweet and humble he is. God bless you sir. And I pray you get ALLLLLLL your money and flowers. You are a gem 💎 to us all. Thanks for repping VA a little. I was too young to go but I heard the VA beach parties were so much fun
Teddy Riley is a true groundbreaking legend! 👑🔥
I was born in 1990, and although I was a big fan of blackstreets music, i’ve only recently recieved a true insight on Ted Riley and the impact he’s had on the music world. I’ve always heard his name, but last year I was intrigued to realize that he had produced a crazy amount of my favorite hit records. This interview randomly showed up on my screen and I couldn’t turn away. It’s rare that I watch a full interview, even from my favorite entertainers. This one is a true gem, and I’m thankful that I came across it.
Wow i agree emphatically Mr. Teddy Riley definitely needs a biopic. What a great interview. Mr. Riley is very specific in telling his account. The first thing I noticed from Mr. Riley began speaking is his resonant humility. He seems genuinely humble. He paid some dues and still humble off the jump from humble beginnings. It was a pleasure to listen to Mr. Riley's life story from the start then to the present now. And let me say to Vlad great job sir! I love you Vlad idc what my daughter said about you❤ peace brothers
You can tell by his demeanor, why the guys around his neighborhood sort of protected him
What do you mean
@@sereroserera367 To me he appears extremely mild mannered and very kind. I'm saying this as a compliment not derogatory, he has a child like innocence about him, I'm aware he's man and does man things, know what I mean, hint hint. In addition he's extremely talented.
@@Albert-the-Astro copy
Yes. You can tell he's a gentle soul and unfortunately the music business and the people around him were vultures. Abusers fighting each other to see who gets the right to abuse the next victim.
Of course..
R.I.P. Greg G Thank U for helping our genius Teddy❤😢
This was a great interview. Teddy is definitely a living legend with a great story/stories to tell. The people he crossed paths with in his past and present. Monumental interview. Great work Vlad.👍🏿
Always been a fan since a child...I love his back story.. Kool moe D was my first album not tape but record album. Everything he makes is dope. .I'm watching him and I can't get over how fly he is..for his age he looks amazing..as if he doesn't age. That outfit, his watch, his chain...❤his style.
he always had this vibe I noticed it when I was younger and had no business looking at him lol 😂😆.
Lol I love kool moe dee too.
Exactly 💯
Wow, he sounds like Michael Jackson the way he talks. Genius!!! His storytelling style is out of this world.
Exactly and has his personality as well ….speak like the Jackson 😊😮😮😮
No wonder they hit it off and MJ gave him more credits on Dangerous than he deserved. He looked after him.
His story takes me there and though I’m almost 60, I’m still inspired
His heyday was a great and amazing era for black people, which doesn’t get much recognition.
Teddy is the very best his stories are like a movie imagine if there was a bio pic made from teddys perspective what a music icon.
He deserves a biopic
Took me a week but I finally finished it. Love this man and all he has given us! Thank you so much for the interview!
Teddy Riley is a winner, a man of class!
Gene Griffin was straight up the Don King of the industry. After GUY broke up, Gene went out and found himself the next look-a-like, sound-a-like Guy group! And that group was called 'Basic Black." Gene Griffin was their executive producer and manager. Right there he was double dipping!! Basic Black had hits called "She's Mine, Nothing But a Party, and Special Kinda Fool." And did not receive a dame dime. Gene ripped them off too!
I remember that! Being music industry adjacent, I’d also hear stories of how Gene would put his hands on TR. I was extremely happy when TR left. Timmy Gatling was the smart one though. Gene forced him out after he wouldn’t sign the contract giving Gene complete control of their publishing and business monetization.
I LOVE Special Kinda Fool!
Damn 🤦🏾♂️
Damn gene burned a lot of people
Those were also Teddy's beats....
This NEEDS to be a movie! Please BET 😂
Teddy Riley is one of my favorite instrumental artist
His solos were dope. Don’t see that nowadays.
🤞🏾
EXCELLENT!!! Teddy Riley is a class act.
This interview was not long enough for me!!! I love this guy!!! 🥰🥰🥰
This dude my favorite producer of all time dope keyboard player producing melodic dance fusion of hip hop and swing 🔥🔥🔥 hats off Teddy Riley ..and we ♎️
I like that Teddy said “we always kept in contact with our dad” it’s actually rare that the father permanently just vanishes. It happens a lot but very low percentage. But it shouldn’t happen at all.
I think he was talking about his step dad ...he really didn't know his father was his father until he got a lil older because his mother wasn't sure if he was his step dad or her ex..
Teddy Riley, musical legend 🐐
DJ VLAD PLEASE INTERVIEW THE SYSTEM!!
Him and Babyface were the ultimate verzuz! I danced and sang for my life.
Great presentation Mr. Riley. Your musical genius, your growth and humility as a strong BLACK MAN is so powerful I am sure after this interview in time there will be those who will say Teddy Riley is my HERO! Which is a source of inspiration that is in short supply within our communities today leading to violence and senseless killings. GOD BLESS YOU TOO FOR AMPLIFYING WITH PRIDE AND JOY YOUR AUTHENTIC LOVE AND APPRECIATION FOR YOUR MOTHER. LOVED IT TOO THAT YOU ADDRESSED MICHAEL'S MOM AS "MOTHER JACKSON" and not simply Katherine as some have stated. I have always said show me a MAN WHO LOVES HIS MOTHER AND I WILL SHOW YOU A GREAT MAN! GOD GIFTED YOU TO CREATE WONDERFUL MUSIC, BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY GIVEN YOU THE WISDOM TO HONOR YOUR MOTHER! PLUS YOUR CRITICAL RECOGNITION OF THE ROLE WOMEN HAVE ON THIS EARTH! MUSIC AND WISDOM WHAT A POWERFUL COMBINATION FOR THIS JOURNEY CALLED LIFE!!! YES, IT IS VERY CLEAR TOO THAT WE REAP WHAT WE SOW! DIGGING DEEP DOWN IN OUR SOULS TO EXPRESS AN APOLOGY
FOR A MEAN SPIRITED ACTION IS MORE THAN WORTH IT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR VERY TRANSPARENT TESTIMONY.
This is a great interview. Lots of insight and background info . Very insightful and inspirational. 💯
Mj's blood on the dance floor and invincible was a dope album the media was at fault for it not going to far as it should had if you listen to the album today it's timeless 🔥
I still do
Very very powerful interview. Definitely enjoyed this. Thanks Vlad
I hope people know, that New Jack Swing is responsible for most of the popular music today.
As much as I agree with your comment, I might add that James Brown‘s introduction of “On the One” was/is responsible for the New Jack Swing AND the music of today. 👍🏾
Such a Humble Dope person Teddy Riley
Ok Vlad this is an amazing interview. I love hearing the Legends story ❤
I saw Teddy in a mall in Arlington, Virginia in the mid-late 90s, walking around, all by himself. Lots of ladies & a few dudes walking up getting autographs. I don't think smartphones was a thing, but he was taking pictures with whoever walked up to him. I'm a 6'4" dude so I just watched & said, damn, look at this lil rich & famous dude walking around all by himself without worrying about a hater stepping to him. I thought that was pretty cool. Also, R Kelly might have as many songs (producing, writing or performed) as Teddy.
T .R., has always been an inovator on the Planet. Much Respect
Teddy is aging like fine wine. He kind of looks like Shawty Lo in this interview.
I can’t stop looking at the hoodie
Teddy Riley is a legend.
Finally I get the entire thing!
Nothing but love for Teddy. He's a gem
This is my all time favorite Vlad interview. Thanks for this
Teddyy is a legend!
I watched the whole interview : ) worth it !!!
My Old friend from the Music Industry! I knew he he was going to the Top from Day One!!!!!!
I could have watched another three hours. Nothing but pure gems mixed with untold events that many didn't know took place. A musical treasure to the world. Salute and Respect for this candid behind the scenes sit down and God Bless❗️
Teddy had his hand in every thing.
Teddy is so polite and articulate. Peace to this good brother
Teddy Riley has got to do a Movie on Allll of this! He has the journey, the twist and turns, the drama, love, friends. family, the villians, business, a ittle politics, it has Everything! Do that!
🤞🏾
This is one of the best music industry interviews I have ever seen… this dude is a class act 100%.
💖Teddy Riley ONE TWO CHECKER
DJ Vlad talked to Teddy Riley for three hours and didn’t ask him about discovering Pharrell once
Very good point. That’s another 25mins worth if content we missed out on.
VLAD makes it so hard to watch these interviews. Imagine a person trying to tell you YOUR story 🤦🏽♀️
I woke up to this playing.. this incredible
Good interview with Teddy giving all these great stories. Im sure vlad was happy that mentioning Suge was part of the conversation
I've been searching for this full version. It disappeared today but comes back while I'm currently watching it in 35 Parts lol
@Can’t Tell You his daughter and Soulja boy
it's great seeing Teddy Riley. I remember when Guy's "DO ME RIGHT" was first release. New Jack City et cetera. Hello 2 Brooklyn; Brownsville, Bedstuy, Crown Heights, Mercy Projects, Van Dyke Houses, Mother Gaston Houses, Whitman Houses, Red Hook Projects... Back in the day
I would love to see a Teddy Reilly master class I would like him to give a music theory class
Absolutely!!
Vlad's interviewing is poor at times...Teddy mentions visiting Tyson in prison. Vlad doesn't ask anything or just say 'tell me about that'? He mentions performing with Biggie the night he got shot. Vlad says nothing. He then says he's not happy when Michael releases 'blood on the dancefloor' - Vlad doesn't probe or ask why. He's missing stories because he's too focused on his questions! A very poor interviewer in my eyes!
I saw him in concert years ago with blackstreet! He did a set of his hits and omg! The songs he produced and made was classics probably only second to R Kelly! His catalogue is crazy! And to see him always humble chill cool and relaxed is amazing! From NY to VA beach! Rump shaker was the first rap song I learned! He is legend! Good to see him alive and still look the same! Ny legend but bigger legend in Va if not for him no missy no timbaland no neptunes no clips! Va is a hard market for artist to make it but he was first!!!!!!! Salute
The album "The Future" by GUY, is one of the most underrated and overlooked lps in R & B history
Great interview, and great guest.
This should have a million views by now.
Great Interview 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome interview Vlad👍🏽 Teddy Riley a legend💯
Great interview. Teddy looks great! God bless us All.🙏🏽
Loved this interview. One of Vlads best.
The best interwiew ever on this channel
"Cant Let Her Get Away" - Michael Jackson = Teddy Riley's greatest produced song
Legendary interview I must say.
I APPRECIATE YOU T.Riley. Waiting on your book 📖!!!! I LOVE ❤️ your music 🎶, dedication & motivation which I hope many will take the time to study. YOU ARE AWESOME TEDDY RILEY!!!! 🥰
This is a great interview 👏
What a humble spirit! I never knew he had gone thru all this BS …in the late 90 and early 2000’s I was actively trying to get into the industry but in hindsight it was a blessing cause I may have hurt someone and ruined my life.. I did get knee of burned but it was a life lesson.
No doubt, Teddy Riley is and will always be that dude! Grew up watching and admiring this genius. Great interview. Thanks for sharing. Giving him his flowers. ✌🏽
I cut for teddy&guy, but New Edition Is The Headliner.(💯💪🏾Unapologetically 😂)
Teddy is one of the best all around, very humble man, he deserves his own movie! I love him!🙌🏽🙌🏽🥳🎉🎄
Amazing story....great interview✨️
