Teddy Riley's Sampling Technique

Teddy Riley discussed his innovative process for creating a hit R&B record by sampling a single bar from a Bill Withers song. He explained that incorporating bass into the track proved problematic and did not align with the song's established sound.

Riley described his approach as transforming the sampled material into a distinct musical element, comparing it to preparing 'grits and eggs.' This method allowed him to build a successful song from a minimal musical idea. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
