Terry's productions can be described as a varied collection of samples blending the sounds of classic disco, the more introspective Chicago sound pioneered earlier in the decade, plus plenty of hip-hop attitude and sampling piracy.[citation needed]
Much of Todd Terry's early work in the late 1980s is considered a milestone in the development of both progressive and modern deep house. Todd Terry has been responsible for releasing two of the most respected crossover remixes of the house era: "I'll House You" by the Jungle Brothers and "Missing" by Everything But the Girl by the mid 1990s.
Among his fans, Todd Terry is known as Todd the God, God Terry, Todd Godrry, Godd Gerry (or, occasionally, simply God, because he might be a Five Percenter, but this is unconfirmed).
Todd's tracks "Something Goin' On'" and "Keep on Jumpin'" were both UK Top-10 hits as well as Us Hot Dance Music/Club Play #1s, with the vocals provided by Jocelyn Brown and Martha Wash. Freestyle diva Shannon was the featured vocalist on the Top Twenty hit "It's over Love" in 1997.
In 1999 Todd Terry released Resolutions, successfully embracing the then-still avant-garde Drum-n-Bass aestethics.
Terry also has several aliases such as Swan Lake, Orange Lemon, Royal House, Amy Studt, Black Riot, CLS, Masters at Work (although this moniker he gave to Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez & "Little" Louie Vega), Dredd Stock, House of Gypsies, Limelife, Hard House, Tyme Forse, Gypsymen.
Todd Terry became one of the best-paid DJs in both Europe and the United States. He normally performs on four turntables, mostly playing his own tracks.
In October 2004, Weekend by the Todd Terry Project appeared in popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on House music radio station SF-UR.
Enough is Enough
Todd Terry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lovelife is boring me to tears, after all these years
No sunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance
We don't stand a chance
I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man
Raining (raining)
Pouring (pouring)
There's nothing left for us here
And we won't waist another tear
If you've had enough, don't put up with his stuff, don't you do it
If you've had your fill, get the check pay the bill, you can do it
Tell him to just get out,
Nothing left to talk about
Pack his raincoat show him out
Just look him in the eye and simply shout:
Enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
Enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That's enough
If you've reached the end,
Don't pretend that is right when it's over
(it's over)
If the feeling is gone don't think twice just move on, get it over
(over, over)
Tell him to just get out, say it clearly, spell it out:
Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That's enough
I've always dreamed to find the perfect lover,
But he turns out to be like every other man
Our love (I had no choice from the start)
Our love (I've gotta listen to my heart)
Our love (tearing us apart)
Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
That's enough
No more tears (no more tears)
No more tears (no more tears)
No more tears (no more tears)
No more tears (no more tears)
Enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough
I've had it, you've had it, he's had it, we've had is
I always dreamed I find the perfect lover,
But he turned out to be like every other man
I had no choice from the start
I've gotta listen to my heart
Tearing us apart
Enough is enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
Enough is enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now
Goodbye mister, goodbye, goodbye mister
Goodbye sugar
It's raining, it's pouring
There's nothing left for us here
And we won't waist another tear
No more tears
Is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough
Is enough!
The song "Enough is Enough" by Todd Terry is about a woman who has reached her breaking point in a relationship. The constant rain is serving as a metaphor for the tears and emotional pain she has endured throughout the relationship, which has become boring and lacking in love and romance. The woman has always dreamed of finding the perfect lover, but has come to realize that her current partner is just like every other man she has dated, and that there is nothing left for them in the relationship.
The chorus of the song serves as a declaration of the woman's decision to end the relationship, and to stand up for herself. She urges other women who may be in a similar situation to not put up with their partner's behavior and to do what is best for their own well-being. The song is a powerful message of self-empowerment and taking charge of one's own happiness.

It's raining, it's pouring
My life is sad and gloomy
My lovelife is boring me to tears, after all these years
My love life is dull and uninspiring
No sunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance
I cannot see any glimmer of love or happiness
We don't stand a chance
Our relationship is doomed to fail
I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover
I hoped to find an ideal partner
But he turned out to be like every other man
But he was just like any other guy
There's nothing left for us here
There is no reason to stay in this relationship
And we won't waist another tear
We won't cry anymore
If you've had enough, don't put up with his stuff, don't you do it
If you have had enough, don't tolerate his behavior
If you've had your fill, get the check pay the bill, you can do it
If you have had enough, be brave and take the initiative to end things
Tell him to just get out,
Ask him to leave your life
Nothing left to talk about
There is no more to say
Pack his raincoat show him out
Help him leave
Just look him in the eye and simply shout: Enough is enough
Be firm and tell him that you have had enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more no
I cannot sustain this relationship anymore
I want him out, I want him out that door now
I want him to leave immediately
If you've reached the end,
If the relationship has ended
Don't pretend that is right when it's over
Don't deceive yourself and accept the end
If the feeling is gone don't think twice just move on, get it over
If the love feeling has faded, accept it and let it go
Say it clearly, spell it out
Be concise and explicit
No more tears
No more crying
Goodbye mister, goodbye, goodbye mister
Goodbye
Goodbye sugar
Goodbye
Is enough!
I have had enough!

RIP INVESTIGATES.
Todd takes a Disco classic, roughs it up a lil and gives us a House Special. I consider some of the House clubs i went to back in the early 90s as top of the game but what i would have gave to have had one night in new york at the studio.

ma sentilo!!! no, ma dico!!! senti quel basso come pompa! e la voce! e la melodia! la musica house passa da qui? credo che si fermi anche qui...questa è musica che non ti stanchi di sentirla, è un ritmo e una sonorità non invadente ma estremamente attraente
