New jack swing — Teddy Riley's late-1980s fusion of hip-hop drum machines with R&B singing: Keith Sweat's "I Want Her", Guy, Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative", later Blackstreet and Michael Jackson's Dangerous.
How it sits: the sixteenths are swung — the "e" and "a" of every beat are written at the triplet positions (0.333 and 0.833), the drum machine's swing setting turned way up. The snare and clap crack together on 2 and 4, loud and dry, with a ghost snare on the swung "a" of 4. The kick is the syncopated part: 1, the swung "a" of 1, the "and" of 2, and a different answer in bar 2. Swung sixteenth hats show the lope.
The keys are short stabs — Gm7 then a rootless C9, a half step apart in the middle voice — hitting the kick's off-positions; the synth bass shadows the kick with octave jumps.
Listen for the hats: straight sixteenths would be Minneapolis funk; the swing is what makes it "jack".
Practice: count "1 e-and-a" with the "e" and "a" late, and keep the snare dead on 2 and 4.
