By then, the music changed a bit (in reaction to gangsta rap) and acquired a less accessible, harder edge (compare the sunny 'Every Little Step' to the more aggressive 'Humpin Around' for example). In my view, the *true* New Jack music enjoyed its heyday between 19, ending around the summer of 1992. This rhythmic element can be found in all the hottest New Jack cuts of the day: 'My Preogrative' by Bobby Brown, 'I Want Her' by Keith Sweat, and 'Just Got Paid' by Johnny Kemp. The number one complaint I hear when trying to defend 80s music is that 'its terrible. The tamborine sound specifically is what I'm referring to - the way it is shaken in syncopation with the rest of the song. Seeing as Im currently twenty-one and was born in 1990, I get weird looks when I tell people this.Yes, I, unlike the airhead girls on an episode of Tosh.0, do actually know the words to Paula Abduls 80s hit, Straight Up.

But, I can see how much things have changed when I sit with my daughter and watch and listen to the intro music for the old tv show, 'Sista Sista.' The song choices and the straight-up delivery.

Listen to most New Jack, and it feels easy or simple rhythmically.ДЄnyway, I liked New Jack most of time. Rhythmically, Timbo and other cats like Mannie Fresh and Dame Grease/Swizzbeats used old school BoomBap and/or latin rhythms that were much more involved and complicated than New Jack. Devante Swing helped to alter it and Timbalin helped to end it. I guess it is to blame for all or most of the whack R&B out today and over the past 10 years too.
