Because I had this dream of seeing James Brown and Michael Jackson do a song together. It’s a technology of music, which is putting rap and singing together, and taking fusions of different music, and fusing them all together. You’re the new kid on the block that’s swingin it.” So, I always thought if as the new kid on the block that’s swinging it until I took it into another direction of making it. I’m doin New Jack City, and you are the New Jack Swing. He said, “What are you gonna call this?” And I said, “I don’t know.” I never knew what my music was called, or what I would call it until he gave me that name. And I can remember sitting with Barry Michael Cooper, and he was interviewing me. So, we had to call it something right away because New Jack City was coming out.

Then you had record companies that didn’t really give you a deal if you didn’t have that sound. And it was just this music that was just transcending, and people were just catching on to it. New Jack Swing, first of all was a name that was given to me, and I always have to give credit to Barry Michael Cooper who actually gave me the name because I didn’t actually have a name for it.

I don’t know if the definition of New Jack Swing has changed for you, but how would you define the New Jack Swing sound? What is New Jack Swing? Well, Harlem is a great place to start actually, because I remember reading you describing New Jack Swing as a sound, and how Harlem was so intrinsic to that sound. There’s still time, you could move to Staten Island, like right now. So, I just don’t want to take the boat everywhere. The spot, you know, but I lived in every borough except Staten Island. Nicholas Projects be, what part of the city would that be? Nick’s Projects was the light of my life, and the start of my career.

Living in the projects will make you remember, and never forget, where you come from. Is it always home, is it always feel like home. You’re back here in New York, this is where it started for you. Thank you so much for being here tonight. And he’s, of course, the architect of the New Jack Swing sound.
