Poll Is Teddy Riley A Top 5 Producer?

[Goldie]

This new series is for RnB only

 

[Ibex]

The R&B pool is way deeper than the rap pool, to me Teddy is top 5 because of New Jack swing but if we start reaching back to all the old school niggas like Quincy, Babyface, Nile Rodgers, Jimmy Jam& Terry Lewis, Berry Gordy etc. Teddy might fall out of top 5

 

[Goldie]

I'm including all of the producers u named ^^

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Never really thought about the top R&B producers before but this should be a unanimous yes.

If you grew up in the 90's you fucked wit at least 10 Teddy Riley joints.

 

[Lucas]

When you are the main reason for this classic joint....I'd label you a top 5 producer. Teddy Riley, I salute you!

 

[Chi-Town B]

Yes, New Jack Swing is all him and that alone puts him in

 

[genocide_cutter]

Dude basically created the sound of early 90's rnb.

 

[5 Grand]

Teddy Riley was one of the hottest R&B producers from the mid 80s to the mid 90s, but if we're talking all time, he has some serious competition.

[wadupdoe!313]

you'll have to break it down by era for R&B

Cosign.

There's R&B where the music is played by musicians and there's R&B where the music is made by drum machines and synthesizers.


You really can't compare the two.

 

[aka_og]
