I dont actively listen to the genre, but I can tell you that at every pizza party I went to between the ages of 5 and 8, new jack swing was the soundtrack.

The Jacksons - Michael & Janet's are obviously well known, but I thought the style really suited Randy pretty well too.

The only Boy George song I like.  The beat was originally for Bobby Brown, but he turned it down.

I was young during the New Jack era, but old enough to appreciate it.  I miss those days.

THREAD OF THE YEAR in OUTBOUND SECTION.
PROPS!!!

[TraceOneInfinite]

No doubt... great thread... New Jack Swing was what was really poppin when I was in the 5th and 6th grade and just getting into music, MTV/BET...  I can't recall a lot of in detail but I think Jade, SWV, "Hey Mr. DJ", and all that stuff was New Jack Swing right?  I mean I just remember a lot of hit singles coming out of that I had not really gotten into listening to albums yet just mostly the radio hits.

The only album I did have was I had the cassette tape of Wrex In Effect prod. by Teddy Riley.  They even had a whole joint on there that was like a New Jack Swing tribute... I just remember "New Jack Swing/ Check it out so funky"....

Good thread ya'll keep it goin
