Ro James Talks R&B Culture, Inspiration From Prince, Touring With Erykah Badu & More

[@MrBabypebbles23]

permission should have won the best rnb song grammy

[@peteroc4]

The anti youtube fitness channel I respectfully disagree #1 is Cranes in the Shy-Solange (Won the Grammy) #2 Turning me up-BJ Chicago Kid #3 Permission-Ro James #4 Needed Me-Rihanna #5 I do-Musiq Soulchild..... #myOpinion

[@DrNikki-lp8sy]

peteroc4 none of them got radio play

[@dipskip]

The anti youtube fitness channel I do not like the song permission but my pick is GA$

[@Sssssssslf]

BIG FAX

[@Sabrina_the_2ueen]

Ro James is a cross between Prince and Maxwell. I love him.....

[@cayondaspires2593]

N it's so sexy girl imaging him fucking u n his voice in ur ear. It's so masculine n so gentle. Ok lemme stop. Lol. Hey girl

[@Oridginale24]

The three best R&B songs of the last 5 years: "Adorn" by Miguel, "Permission" by Ro James, & "Cranes in The Sky" by Solange. Just my opinion.

[@bree1lovee]

Oridginale24 I agree!

[@floydsteel1703]

Oridginale24 BJ the chicago kid - Perfect...slept on gem

[@eboni5125]

Floyd steel B.J. is true talent! I've never been disappointed at his shows.

[@JFairclothTV]

Is Permission the only song they know or that they can talk about?! Smh, listen to that El Dorado ALBUM! It is straight 🔥🔥🔥 the title track El Dorado, Holy Water, New Religion, A.D.I.D.A.S. etc., Please check this guy's album out, y'all won't be disappointed. That real soulful R&B/neo soul

[@JFairclothTV]

I love TBC, but they are so closed minded about music. They need to do their research on the people who come on their show, especially since they're on the radio. I feel like they listen to who they wanna listen to, Ro & Miguel aren't the last ones out here. They're definitely some of the last of a dying breed but there's guys like BJ the Chicago Kid, Anderson Paak, dvsn, Majid Jordan, October London, & even The Weeknd who's kinda more pop now but still incorporates that R&B into his albums. They need to start doing better research smh

[@thatlsk]

Justin Faircloth who are you his biographer?

[@JFairclothTV]

thatlsk where do you see his life story in here dumbass?

[@darlyndyson8018]

Yes, Ro James' whole Eldorado is wonderful!

[@fitchgirl02]

Justin Faircloth yep, adidas came out years ago.

[@RobMaddenMadeIt]

His album is straight fire!!! From start til finish it's FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@peytonfan]

[@lifestraight]

[@Mzjazzytray1]

Yondell Anthony yes he is

Jazzy Tray hope he stays this way

[@Mzjazzytray1]

Yondell Anthony WORD😉

[@RealestGuyInTheRoom-]

I swear Breakfast Club is the new 106 & Park. I would of NEVER knew who this dude was if it wasn't for them. Now I know he's the guy that sings that "Already Knew That" song I keep hearing on the radio.

[@TheSupinesmokey]

What have we got of here?

[@ShortKingTheGoat]

RealestGuyInTheRoom couple of hatas??

[@willybeeman8468]

RealestGuyInTheRoom damn you don't know shit lol

[@JWill951]

You should check out his whole album, El Dorado. You won't be disappointed.

[@Goldaction0]

+Willy Beeman you can't be hip to o everything.

[@kareneverett125]

Love his voice/style

[@edwinwilson7481]

thatlsk lol you on a roll

[@youngp4051]

dude ro James is such a great artist he is really refreshing in this era of water down no substance music #rnbsavior

[@KekePfan16]

Even his voice is musical! 😍

[@Overqualified1]

His aunt is Rosie Gaines. She could sing circles around all the other female singers at that time. That includes Whitney Houston.

[@jessicafloyd176]

Marq Mac rosie gaines do have an amazing voice..

[@tonybluestar4954]

U lost me with Whitney tho!!

[@Ishbikes]

Chill shorti.

[@datdougy2]

The latest reply ever but your smoking dope she couldn’t outsing Whitney

[@TammyG84]

His regular voice is hot

[@laminediallo9014]

I need a song with him, BJ The Chicago Kid and Anderson .Paak

[@Meetoss76]

Charlemagne Bust Right out da Gay closet Beginning of the Interview 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SSSY1976]

Demetrius Waters I thought I was the only one that noticed that. I was like WTF?!

[@TeeTexasTaylor]

Very underrated keep his album on repeat..hate he didn't have alot of time but he'll grow and be back with more time

[@Miszny]

[@edwinwilson7481]

thatlsk #dead

[@peteroc4]

Finally they got Ro James on, 1st topic you got a phatty. Wtf?!

[@Thisismyhandle423]

peteroc4 why is being gay so taboo still. Literally the gay agenda has been in our face for decades, and before the agenda, homosexuality wasn't so demonized. Why is it such a shocker in 2017?

[@peteroc4]

Lil Durk I'm saying rather a question about his life, or music. They're talking about dumb shit.

[@maccimorales1987]

SMH

[@Goldaction0]

YO! Real talk!!!!!!

[@Laoriginal718]

😂😂😂😂😂 dead ass. What a way to start an interview.

[@GutierrezLove209]

Ro James. Introduced to his music on Pandora. By far my best discovery. I love "Already Knew That" "Burn Slow" and "A.D.I.D.A.S"

[@kierstondeloach472]

YanethMarlysse Yeah "already knew that" is my ish

[@lilmekatxgyrl]

[@gracimills6516]

Nice work Ro. You are a beautiful person inside out! 😊Be careful when performing... some of your fans are not all there. Blessings.

[@Keyshaw30]

I love his song permission!

[@timkruse9912]

Ro James needs to collab with Bj the Chicago kid ,Anderson .Paak and Janelle Monae would sound flamez!!!

[@zrahrasul1143]

You all are the Personification of "Awesome" Thank you so much for just "Being"...

[@alexanderzichem6434]

prince was a freaking wizard!! he ain't dead he just into another universe

[@valentinarose3476]

I can just listen to Ro read the phonebook, his speaking voice is just as smooth and silky as his singing voice is!

[@theamethyst93]

[@SoulVernacular23]

dominique007 check out price Adore

[@mwright0428]

[@thatlsk]

dominique007 you have low standards

[@kingsqueen.]

[@helenrobertson45321]

Ashley Bordelon I listen to that over and over and over I love that song

[@discodade4998]

Ro is forever

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

Why did RnB die. I still love RnB and so many want a recurrence of it. It's a black sound....

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

***** It's because people sold out. And it went commercial and lost it's core audience.....

[@Militantreturns]

James Kibirige R/B didn't die.... todays young people like. That trap soul bullshit. Real organic soul music isn't supported by the masses any more

[@MrFrunk1]

DAMN,Finally!! And Holy Water is a FIRE ASS joint.

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

Ro James is the man

[@csbean8783]

[@lovlyprice9173]

Marvin Gay's intro "Got to Give it Up" reminds of the beginning of Ro James's "You All Ready Knew That"

[@gradea383]

I told my Girl we gon make love to his Album she said Oh Shit lol

[@RealestGuyInTheRoom-]

This interview should of been done at 7mins. They clearly didn't know what more to ask him but it seems like they believe in his talent.

[@u.m.5857]

[@mzprettymama123]

Yes hes wonderful

[@bxboro4662]

"Burn slow" is my shit!

[@Marteen40]

I swear Burn Slow the beginning I totally hear Prince.

[@Overqualified1]

Don't know why they keep saying Miguel and Trey are the pinicle of RnB. While I like their music, them niggas don't sing good enough to be considered all that. Epically with Tank and Mario and all the others who don't get the shine they deserve.

[@AlwayzOneHunnit]

I fricken LOOOVE Envy's intro

[@iamkingsis]

soooo i'm a singer, and people have told me to lie about my age countless times... so how old is ro james really!?

[@moefax1900]

Which lie do you want?

[@Militantreturns]

Sis in his thirties

[@Hains22]

Charlamagne may come off as off putting to many people. Yet, he is a low key genius, with various knowledge on many subjects.

[@moefax1900]

I agree but it takes someone also intellectually gifted to recognize it which is why his knowledge goes over most heads. I have the same issue with folks.

[@Kimmica20]

Exactly!

[@vegitausa]

Wow, did not know he was related to rosey gaines!

[@kerrajohnson3203]

He is 24 years old but look 32. #HardLiving

[@kerrajohnson3203]

Well take that up with Wikipedia lol

[@Militantreturns]

Kerra Johnson he ain't 24 obviously

[@lillanthompson9086]

Should have been 29 at this time

[@Sssssssslf]

no way is he in his twenties?!!! 😲

[@Buzzdez]

james jun!

[@Veto831LilDon823]

Styles P freestyle on permission is the reason I found out about the song

[@lifestraight]

Who else waitin' for Royce to put out more freestyles? For Nas' next album??

[@thatlsk]

lifestraight literally no one

[@joshloach9016]

Already know that ft Bj the Chicago kid is the best song

[@trillaroyale]

First

[@ks_eats]

wtf why they only had him on here for 20 minutes should have given him more times

[@thatlsk]

Karen Spencer what you the program director?

[@ks_eats]

Stop hating
