Album notes
Blackstreet: Teddy Riley, Chauncey "Black" Hannibal, Levi Little, David Hollister (vocals). Additional personnel: Knowledge [Richard Iverson], Chance [David Roland Williams], Nutta Butta [Menton Smith], T-Pirate [Antwone Dickey], Miggity Mark [Markell Riley] (rap); Serban Ghenea (guitar); Chad Hugo (saxophone); Tammy Lucas. Producers: Chris Smith, Leon Sylvers, David Wynn, Markell Riley, Michael "Flip" Barber, Erick Sermon, David Wynn, Teddy Riley. Engineers: George Mayers, Serban Ghenea, John Hanes. All songs written or co-written by Teddy Riley except "Love's In Need" (Stevie Wonder). Samples include "Outstanding" (as performed by The Gap Band), "Bon Bon Vie (Gimme The Good Life)" (Sandy Linzer/L. Russell Brown), "Papa Don't Take No Mess" (as performed by James Brown) and "Atomic Dog" (as performed by George Clinton). Having worked with great performers (Michael Jackson to name just one), it is no miracle that producer Teddy Riley once again comes forth with yet another successful act. This time, it's not Guy, or Wreckx-N-Effect; it's Blackstreet, a male R&B group consisting of four members including none other than himself, Teddy Riley. BLACKSTREET, the debut album, is the model example of today's R&B, filled with samples and subliminal reappearances of old school themes. Recreating one of hip-hop's classics, Blackstreet's version of Redman's "Tonight's Da Night" is a slow grooving love song using the same horn and vocal harmony to create an R&B favorite. Although no group can perfectly match Stevie Wonder's talent on any remake, Blackstreet brings back memories with their version of "Love's In Need Of Love Today." "Booti Call" uses interpolations of George Clinton's "Atomic Dog," questioning the primal male urge ("Why must I feel like that/Why must I chase the cat?"). BLACKSTREET is 20 tracks, either about love or sex, with full intention of setting a mood.
Editorial reviews
...Overall, the album plays like a fat blend tape and it is consistently enjoyable....Blackstreet's debut is one of the better total R&B packages to come out recently... The Source (10/01/1994)
Highly Recommended - ...Lest we forget, Teddy Riley's spring-heeled, pyrotechnic production extravaganzas had a seismic impact in a field then dominated by obsequious balladeers dressed like head waiters... Spin (08/01/1994)
4 Stars - Excellent - ...an album of two halves. First they work up a sweat with some serious dance grooves...while the second half is all champagne and silk sheets....still a very sexy record. Q (10/01/1996)
