TEDDY RILEY and WRECKX-N-EFFECT : Shakin' Their Moneymakers[1]

A SPANKING FOR `RUMP SHAKER'[2]

HIGH PROFILE: MUSIC WIZARD RILEY FINDS BUSY HAVEN IN VA. BEACH[3]

On the Continuing Resonance of “Rump Shaker”[4]

Michael Jackson's "She Drives Me Wild":

  • "The rap that intervenes, by way of a break in the middle of the song, was written by the duo Wreckx-N-Effect, consisting of Aqil Davidson and Markell Riley, brother of Teddy. At the time the two young men were finishing work on their third album, Hard or Smooth ,which was a milestone on the new jack swing and hip-hop scenes. Far from deserving the famous black-and-white rectangle with the words "Parental Advisory / Explicit Content", which was applied to many rap records in the early 1990s, the rap text of Aqil and Markell kept within a certain moral framework."[5]
  • "Teddy Riley brought in close friend Aqil Davidson of Wreckx-n-Effect (best known for their 1989 Riley-produced track "New Jack Swing" and 1992 hit single "Rump Shaker") for a brief rap solo in the bridge, which Jackson punctuates with a perfectly timed "whoooo!"[6]

Wreckx-n-Effect assault Q-Tip - "A member of rap group Wreckx-n-Effect assaulted Q-Tip in 1993 as the result of a perceived slight inferred from Phife's rhyme. A musical style innovated by record producer (and Wreckx-n-Effect svengali) Teddy Riley, "new jack swing" melded hiphop to rhythm and blues in a fashion Phife sought to distance A Tribe Called Quest from in his characteristically dismissive rap style."[7]
