The sad thing is there are plenty of Father's like this especially in the Black Community. Its just they get don't get the recognition. Remember Michael Jackson had Joe Jackson that made sure his family was going to make it. In less than 10 years he moved them from Gary, Indiana to Beverly Hills, California.
Amen Darryl. I'm Ethiopian in Montreal, single mom of a beautiful 5 yr old boy. I just had to cut his father coz I realized my son would be hurt and disappointed in life by a man that just didn't give a damn about by a Father to my boy. Sometimes kinda biological father. N verrrryyy abusive to me. It hurts. However, I know any male who leave a beautiful strong African lady pregnant, alone, no family, n 5 yrs later, show same shit???? Naaaaahhh.
You are all the Way Right. The Children miss so much, by not having that good Father in their lives. I respect the men in jail still calling their kids, and all of that!
The moral of this story is; It's important to know your Worth, when it comes to what you have to offer! His father taught him a valuable lesson, and in the end it was a Blessing!
2:12 Jackson's Dangerous album to this day is the best selling new jack swing album in history .. that album came out in 1991 and to this day sounds way ahead of it's time ... what teddy and MJ created there is absolutely timeless
As an R&B producer this interview brings tears to my eyes because I WISH I had the family support that this brother had. I've been producing R&B for years and I know without a shadow of a doubt that I'd be a lot further along had my family made the sacrifices that his dad made for him. Salute to the Darkchild and most importantly, salute to his dad.
Thats how it be when you get older. U gotta start making healthier choices to stay alive eating healthier. But salute to dude he look way healthier now like alot of celebs do

Teddy had all the legends with ground breaking music and sound under him. Teddy needs to go discover some new super producers because these new dudes are comfortable with having similar sounds and styles.
I love hearing stories about good people who have great people holding them up. His dad was a REAL ONE! He knew from the beginning that his son was special and nurtured his talent and made sure it was valued. No hesitation, even under tough circumstances. There are many great black fathers similar to his father. They invest in their families, respect women, and actively participate in their children's lives by supporting them with love and protection with the best of their abilities. Media promotes the ladder side of the spectrum so often we think it's one-sided. It's not. My Dad wasn't emotionally or spiritually well enough in this life to be the father he was meant to. But the few gems I got from him I appreciate. I had wonderful grandfathers and uncles who went out of their ways to show me their hearts. It wasn't always perfect, but they were good to me and my siblings and covered us when my dad struggled. Because of them and the women in my life I can love and forgive. Imagine if all of our children had someone to invest and value them...imagine a world filled with people putting out their best out into the world all the time. It's worth imagining and investing, don't you think.
He's crazy... Teddy Riley was one of my idols in R&B and working with him would be nothing short of legendary, it probably was something deeper, i heard Mr Riley was a bad business man tho.. but production wise: ANY DAY!
It's too much for one man to handle on his own, which is why Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were so successful on the music and business side. I would have listed Babyface and L.A. Reid, but Reid was stealing from Babyface. I can understand stealing from artists, but stealing from your business partner is dirty. Eazy stealing from NWA.....Eazy owed Jerry, and Jerry's safe held the papers.
@@MrWARBUCKS24 - _"Eazy wasn't stealing from NWA""_ Oh so you say? *Member of NWA:* Yo' E.

Rodney is a legend 4real! & Teddy R is an icon & super dope 2 let a stranger cum n2 his life & learn under him! It shows what having a dream can do for u I wish I I would've stuck wit mines instead of now tryna play catch up!
A Good Father is SOOOO Important. Rodney Jerkins, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, etc. The Greatest Ever had father's in their lives. Don't let these devils convince you we don't need fathers.
what is he talking about credits?? its definitely easier now because you see their producer name and info and you send them a friend request on social media and they'll hear your beats immediately. thats a lot easier than having to drive 6 hours to hopefully get them traveling.
When I was at Rowan U (South Jersey) in the mid 90s, two of my friends from there, one being the famous Shaun T from Insanity, we’re singers and supposedly Teddy Riley was interested in them. He wanted them to come to AC once because Teddy was connected with a young producer from that area-Rodney Jerkins. Also cool seeing Darkchild studio on Rt 9 in Pleasantville
People say your mum is everything but if a Father loves you exactly like your mother would, It's different. It's even different when your father genuinely prays for you compared to your mother. Let's all strive to be the fathers we sadly didn't get 😅
You know you're a dope Azz producer when Teddy Riley wants to sign u at 13 years old ! ! ! WoW, at that age I was playing football in the streets & in the Boy Scouts. Can u imagine that bc at 13 yrs old, you're still in Middle School. Rodney Jerkins is very talented & he's worked with EVERY major star in the music business. He's just unbelievable & he bought his mother a Benz at 17 yrs old. He's 17 & buying a $80,000 or car more or less & he's not slangin' dope. Why don't we hear more success stories like his 🤷🏾♂️

Can yall stop with the whole FATHER in his life story line... who many successful people we have seen that was raised by a single mom??? This is a story about simply knowing your worth... doesn't matter if it's a mom or dad or aunt or cousin or grandparent... we as a people need to know our worth IN GENERAL!
We need those Michael Jackson Darkchild tracks... Maybe one day but it has to be right along with the family. Because he knows it is disrespectful without Michael being here since he was such a perfectionist the same with a gone the same with will I am the same with T pain. None of Want to bring out anything without disrespecting.
@@Lessons4Life BS!!!!!!!!!!!! Rodney worked with more artists in the first 4 years of his career than Teddy worked with in the lifetime of his career, including up until now. If Rodney wouldve signed with that mother%$%#$$, the tracks wouldve said "Produced by Teddy Riley" in big bold font. Then at the bottom, in small font, it wouldve said "additional production by Rodney Jerkins." If anything, Rodney wouldve made a lot less money and worked with less artists directly.

It's not only about HAVING a father, it's about having a GOOD father.

Really like dark child. Humble.
This is why it's important for women to let father's be dads and not get in the way.
Artists today need internships because there’s not enough love for the art of music anymore. No such thing as artist development
