You allow the guests to think and speak at their own pace. You guys don't talk over the guests. You guys ask the best questions. You are engaging, funny, and the authority on all things R&B. Hands down you guys are the blueprint for all podcasts. Keep up the good work!!!

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I agree I can't watch Drink Champs or even Questlove show I hate the over talking the guest. Norega can be so annoying all that clapping every 5 minutes. On the Questlove Supreme he has great guest, it's the one lady that is annoying.

[@grayl001]

I was thinking the EXACT same thing! I love the space they provide!!

[@cherrydeleon9646]

Seriously saying & I love Tank to death. I agreed with you 🎉PEACHES JAMAICA 🇯🇲 HARLEM NYC 🇯🇲 😊

[@cherrydeleon9646]

Or let the guest sing a song. That's why TEEKS & STAN WALKER & GIVEON'S music is top of the line. Come on TANK? Love you still but make some music. Podcast is not for everyone. PEACHES JAMAICA 🇯🇲 HARLEM NYC 🇯🇲

[@cherrydeleon9646]

The podcast stuff is ridiculous. It's not even funny. We need good R&B back on the market. That's why TEEKS, STAN WALKErR & GIVEON'S music is swiping you all out. 🎉PEACHES JAMAICA 🇯🇲 HARLEM NYC 🇯🇲 🎉🎉

I love how Tank and J Valentine turn into ABSOLUTE kids and fans all over again when these R&B legends come around lol

[@TheCakediva08]

Me too!

[@SteveAdamsChannel]

Their chemistry is great! I've really become a fan of this show and it's not just because of the artist but the energy, experience(s) and insight they bring to each show.

[@djwillpower578]

This was the one! Babyface’s Tender Lover album was a mark in time. I was about 14 and with all the great music that came out before and after it, it was an experience in itself.

[@clariseharrington8252]

Lol right, bc Tank was a total groupie.

[@KaiLove]

I'm 32 minutes into this, stopped, went and put on my green sweater and sunglasses, and restarted the episode from the top!!! I'm already a HUGE Babyface fan, but this felt like a personal masterclass. I'm so inspired. Tank and J., y'all did the thang with this one. Thank you...

Babyface is my Quincy Jones. He is the songwriter/producer/artist who created the soundtrack and theme music for my life. ALL of his catalog has been fire and his contribution to RnB is critical to the sound!

[@Forsaken860]

Dead ass though. I grew up on BabyFace💁🏾‍♀️

[@Beeelovestr8drop]

Exactly!! He wrote songs for brandy, Tevin Campbell, Jon B, and Toni Braxton!!

[@phillipjenkins8728]

Amen!!!

[@razmatazzsi2293]

He was everything from the start but he had to get the approval from Gates keepers. If that didn't happen until he had to get all four of his wisdom teeth pulled. I really hope he kept them.

[@lifestyleoffever228]

Valid because Quincy Jones is literally the only person on earth who can compete with his writing/composition catalog.

Can we talk about J’s skin?! His skin glows! It’s reflective. Such beautiful skin he has. We should all aspire to be that moisturized 😂

Babyface is so quiet and cool in interviews, but BABY he comes alive on stage. I was so surprised when saw his live performance about 7 years ago. He opened his shirt, ran off the stage and had so much energy. His pen game is top tier and his hits and the ones he has contributed to are almost unmatched.

As a little girl watching Soul Train I used to wonder or imagine where that cartoon train was going. After watching this I feel like I finally got to ride that train with Babyface as the conductor. I literally feel like he took us on a soulful journey and I was able to experience some very significant musical moments at every stop. As an artist but more of a fan... I want to just say thank you for taking me on the trip..... this was everything. ❤🎶

I definitely need a part 2 with BabyFace! There’s sooo many things we didn’t get to…Toni Braxton, After 7, Waiting to Exhale, his 90s reign…he’s such a calm humble guy…and such a thinker! Watching the Jon B interview I definitely see the heavy influence and the similar way they think! I love this podcast because r&b is my absolute favorite genre, this interview definitely made my heart happy! ❤

I'm honoured to even comment where Babyface talked 😅🤦🏾‍♂️ ...what he said about Kevon is truly humbling and honest. Kevon vocally is insane!

Good interview, however as I’m writing this I’m disappointed that you guys skipped over Babyface and LA Reid making Bobby Brown’s magnus opus “Don’t Be Cruel” album. Y’all went from The Deele days straight to Tender Lover. Them making that album is equivalent to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis making Janet Jackson’s “Control” album.

I'm a huge Babyface, I been a fan since I was 7 in 1989. His voice is so soothing and beautiful 😍. I wish I had a podcast I will continue this interview myself. There is so much I want to ask him. By the way the song Babyface is thinking of by Cameo is "keep it hot".

This was an amazing interview!!! Absolutely love Babyface, great talent! Y’all had jokes about the tarnished silver name but nothing for Manchild and the crowd pleasers? 😂😂😂

Definitely one of the greatest! BIOGRAPHY: Tank can play Marvin Gaye get 'er done! Please bring him back to life. "Here My Dear" is so underrated. I doubt people know the background.
