Rodney Jerkins on Producing Mary J. Blige's 4x Platinum "Share My World" (Part 7)

Part 1: • Rodney "Darkchild" Jer...
--------
Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins talked about working on five songs from Mary J. Blige's 4x Platinum album "Share My World" after securing his first major hit with Joe's "Don't Wanna Be a Player." After receiving a call from Bomb Squad's Hank Shocklee saying that Mary J. Blige wanted him in New York the following day to play her some records, a 19-year-old Jerkins made ten tracks in his father's basement that night.
Jerkins says Mary J. Blige instantly wanted to work with him after hearing the beat for "I Can Love You." The producer said that his producer fees increased as a result of working with the R&B legend. He also explained taking on a lot of production work so he could get upfront money while he waited for his royalty checks. He also spends the rest of the clip talking about enjoying the fruits of his labor as a young, hot producer.

Mary J's first 3 albums are my all time favorites!! Share my world album for me gets the most play mainly because the first two for me are like are for the clubs. This album is for me very balanced. "Darkchild" is a name that fits him because his beats are dark youthful sounding and energetic.

@Ricky Fontaine. I remember that Toni Braxton song. That sh-t was 🔥 as well! He also produced the remix of Brandy's "Sitting on top of the world" with Fat Joe and Big Pun too! You're right though his catalog is extensive.

Share my world is first cd i bought from Mary. That was in 98 for me. I was a kid. Damn love that album. So many classics. But to me my fav collabo from Rod is Brandy. Perfect combination.
Mary's best album period is My Life, but Share My World is definitely one of her best.

That's all a matter of opinion though because honestly Mary is 1 of those few artists that has multiple albums that people claim is the best one. Her most classic albums are considered all of the ones she released during the 90's (What's the 411?, My Life, Share My World and Mary) plus The Breakthrough 🤷.

His Dad supported this because he saw the annointing, not to get all religious. His Dad saw his purpose. Its crazy how much of his music i have, this is the fist time i have heard him speak

RODNEY DARKCHILD JERKINS IS MY FAVORITE HIP HOP SAMPLED R&B PRODUCER.... DOPE ALL AWAY AROUND WITH INCREDIBLE SOUNDS , THAT QUEEN B SAMPLE ON MARY J ALBUM CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR RODNEY, EMI MUSIC PUBLISHING AND THE MUSIC GAME... - 10/14/20 - LANCE ROMANCE 😊😎✊🎶
Queen Bitch was a 🔥 track she spaced out, and Biggie only spit a few bars but the way they did it made the track stand out more
Share My World is one of my favorite albums so its nice to hear the making behind it.
That song the things you do remix by gina thompson was classic super much respect for that 👑
Wow I had no clue he did Share My World 💜

Funny thing is........I remember in a televised or written interview that Mary did not like the share my world album. She felt like it was helicopter music. Just goes to show, sometimes what you may not like will be one of your shining moments.
