This was a grand era in the clubs. There were so many great danceable songs, the clubs were hoppin' and people were happy. Miss those days.
If you ever find a way to go back to that time, take me with you! I was too young to experience it
I like this genre a lot!

Honestly it's time to give this sound another chance, and I think it's ripe for a revival. The fact that alternative dance, jungle, nu disco, and baggy music is all coming back in a post-vaporwave world is a perfect stage for a return. A genre that pushed music production to new heights infused with modern drums, synths, and sampling would be a match made in heaven imo.
Comments like this let me know I gotta keep going ! Im trying my hardest to bring this back! Lol
You're absolutely correct
@Zae that's too cynical I can't accept that
Let's hope it does !
I doubt it their were a couple of songs like cardi b finese that could of done that but it didn't develop into anything bigger. What is needed is a whole new sound
Man I will always love early 1990s. What a decade!
I wish this could be famous again, as the 80s that came back in 2021
I'm trying to bring a new genre called Nu Trap Swing.

List is on point except for Bruno Mars. ??? He can try to imitate the flavor but he ain’t got it. Not a bit.
One of the best kept secrets is this great subgenre of R&B and hip-hop
New Jack swing era was a popular during the late 80’s and early 90’s. I was born during this era, and a lot of teenagers were jamming to this genre.
I miss new jack swing music but I'm still love it. BESIDES I WANT IT BACK!!!
The New Jack Vibe is timeless🎶💯
the fact that Teddy Riley played a prominent role in his band as a producer is really cool, even though he formed the band lol producers didn't seem to get a lot of love back then!
Yeah producers were kinda overlooked and still continue to be, but he's a really interesting dude
ngl I use a lot of New Jack swing in my glitch hop and funk and R&B@@NathanielJordon
Madonna did it too in 1992, with her 5th album "Erotica" and Janet really focus on it with HER 5th album.
bring back the new jack swing!! I never left the NJS and never will..
Also Wreckx-N-Effect is on a Michael Jackson track of his Dangerous album called She Drives Me Wild and Dangerous is considered the best selling new jack swing album of all time, it's crazy! Long live NJS!
I wanna say Bobby Brown Don't Be Cruel would be the best selling NJS album of all time. I guess it was Michael lol I love Dangerous.
These songs are all : funk beat. A fast 16 th beat rhythm, despite the term : (new jack) swing .
New Jack Swing started around 1985
New Jack Swing made Modern Music
Most modern RnB songs have the same exact beat count
Believe it or not Ragtime created modern music , as it has syncopation.
When hear these groups, I imagine shopping for school clothes with my mom.
Yessss! I love the information you present in these videos, the dedication shows!
Thank you bleach! I truly enjoy making these videos and I hope to continue doing so
@@NathanielJordon haha ur welcome! Ur videos deserve way more views
Yes, mention Janet Jackson.
I love New jack swing.
The sound lived on a bit longer- several songs on michael Jackson's HIStory and blood on the dancefloor.
Great research and very informative. Excellent post.
Thank you Bmcwriter! It really means a lot to read that.
Great retrospective!
Thank you Lee!
Great video!
New jack swing isn't anything but the Minneapolis sound over James brown break beats. Really prince created that whole sound then teddy Riley brung the swing groove in it.
Po
Hmmm I think there’s a lot of boogie and go-go musicians from the late 70s who would strongly disagree with you
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@theactorjohnlarroquette its possible you both can be correct.
Teddy riley said in a breakfast club interview that when making new Jackswing he wanted to combine Micheal Jackson,prince and james brown together
Are you deaf? Prince's sound was nothing but a new form of new wave
You showed an A&P. I feel ancient now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amazing video. I love The New Jack Swing
That was fun music. Fun concerts too.
Awesome job, again!!!!😃
Thank u Joe 😀 it means so much to read this
@@NathanielJordon Of course😁
I wish I was born in the 80s, Although I was born in 2004 We had some Good Music still back then.
New Jack Swing was and is fye that sound branded an entire culture. In 2023 they still bang
E o melhor ritmo que existiu de pois de soul, charme e r&b
That is the true breakdown of njs thank you
But In 2021 however Japan brought new jack swing in a form of an anime show called D4DJ and there's a group called Photon Maiden made a song called 4 Challenges (look it up)
For me, the Year 1996 was the end of the new jack swings.. besides the Hit of MICHAEL BLOOD On the DANCEFLOOR in 1997 .... Also I CAN SEE IT LEAVE A PLACE FOR 2 GENRES ... The BOYSBAND STYLE for the whites .... and the SOUL RNB for the Blacks ...
Blood on the Dance floor is surely the last New Jack Swing big hit?
Only in europe
Teddy Riley
How did this video miss the Good Girl's song Your Sweetness from 1989?
I remember going to see a New Jack Swing tour with MC Hammer and other great groups with One who has since passed away @ The Summit. Great Times and Memories. Today's music is OK but still does not compare.
I am sure that the Younger Generation feels the same way
skipped over rhythm nation 1814
If you're interested in New Jack Swing songs, I invite you to listen to the Japanese singer Cindy
🔥🏆🔥
Now I can't get it outta my head. Finesse baseline is Remember the Time
kpop new jack swing
Why did new Jack swing died in the mid 1990s?
Other sub-genres came along, including gangsta rap, G-funk, grunge, and the sub-genre that followed new jack: hip-hop soul. New jack was left facing off against the others and couldn't compete. Also, supposedly there were too many, other acts cribbing from songs by Bell Biv Devoe and Guy, but I don't think there were that many imitators. I'd say there were only, like, a few acts that trying imitating them, such as Basic Black, who were an imitation of Guy.
@@DaWalkthe same thing happened to Disco
There are some less renowned new jack swing acts of the 21st century who are underground like Derric Gobourne Jr., Vadell Gabriel, D.B. Swang, and Cry Baby carrying on the tradition and have revived it. But now if only there were more like them who are more consistent with the music. Several others I came across either only made the odd new jack track different from the music they commonly make and perform or the new jack remix that's the same situation. I mean, I like those others too, who are like that and they're nice, but I'd still like to see even more recent, less famous acts who are limited to new jack swing and urban slow jams as well.
I’ll have to look those artists up.
Mumble rappers have to get the **** out.
This to me is what drake does in a modern way and why I hate when people shit on him
Your insight is incorrect and way off. Drake, The Weeknd, Chris Brown are still doing the same thing. Mixing hip hop and rnb with pop sensibility. All New Jack Swing is, is a hybrid sound. The person who coined the corny ass term was an old black journalist who saw black music in silos ( funk, soul, quiet storm). It was the first time different black sounds were being mixed. No Diggity ( '96) is the same thing as Say my name by Destiny's Child ( '98) or crazy in love ( 03) which is faster paced than No Diggity even though it was released in the 2000's. The video should be retitled "The History of the Hybrid Sound". You are not gonna find a black male crossover act today who sounds like Babyface or Luther Vandross. Straight Rnb is the real relic of the past and has been dead on pop/black radio since the late 90's.
This documentary is kinda misleading. Only Teddy Riley can produce New Jack Swing. All those other songs were poor attempts to copy him and that's why they all suck. All, except for Jimmy and Terry. They were doing something else.
So LA Reid and Babyface sucked? You sound crazy as hell smh
@@FlyAwayChi I didn't mention La & Babyface, but by omitting them you assume I include them with those who suck.
More specifically I was talking about Basic Black, R Kelly & the Public Announcement and everybody else who tried to copy the guy sound. There was so many at the time that I can't even remember them all now.
Babyface, Jimmy & Terry, and Teddy Riley were the sound of the 80s and 90s. Nothing else mattered except maybe Jazzy B with his Soul 2 Soul sound. That ish was crazy too!
I beg to differ, teddy is a god but there were countless new jack swing songs that didn't have teddy's production
You clearly know nothing about Music Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis created New Jack Swing LA Ried and Babyface took and rocked with it, Teddy Riley perfected it but definitely created it
@@mauricesantinomf That is completely false! There was no mention of New Jack Swing until Teddy Riley! It was actually named by the same guy who created the New Jack City. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lews, as well as La Ried & Baby Face, were making hit records long before Teddy Riley. When he came in and immediately dominated with his Keith Sweat, Guy, Bobby Brown, and Heavy D. productions, he was the New Jack! His sound was a blend of multiple genres and it was so effective that everyone prior started to try and emulate his sound. The kind of music made by other's before Teddy was not and is not considered New Jack Swing.
