S/o to dreamville actually incorporating their R&B within their label and not treating it like a label grab or accessory

@LaToya Thomas. Hahaaaaaa hunny- that is what I said when I heard " Aaaliyah". I am also hoping to hear someone mention our songbird- Mariah Carey on one of these episodes- like c'mooooon. I've already heard Minnie Ripperton, so c"mon folks ! ( But it's folks perosnal list, so I get it 🙄😆)

IB a legend for what he’s done with J.Cole And the whole of Dreamville; this Year especially they dropped 3 Critically acclaimed Albums in both Rap and RnB. Ari Lennox age sex location, JID The Forever Story and Earthgang Ghetto Gods

[@antoniapinnix8321]

I'm getting introduced to new R&B because of this podcast. J Cole & Ari Lennox, are the only names I'm familiar with and all those before 2018. This history lesson has been great.

I was literally just saying the same thing THEE INTEGRITY OF THIS HERE SHOW 🤌🏾 ✨ Super needed!

[@shannonluda]

Yes J...Seduction is fire 🔥

[@KaiLove]

Ari's episode and this episode felt related. It's giving quiet energy. When he talked about emotional artists, that was a great insight. I've been waiting to see who was gonna add Queen Erykah. That Shawn Stockman reference was on point too. Dope t-shirt #jvalentine and I may or may not have thrown my flip flop at you watching "Slow" from the Soul Train Awards. You did that! Brothers y'all was so clean and sounded amazing!

[@mis___read]

Tank had me dyin💀😭”At some point you gon have to tell somebody you rap”🤣🤣🤣

[@cmapit3220]

Finally someone gives "Throwback" it's just due!!!! That is my fave song off the Confessions album. The feeling that song gives you when it comes on is euphoric! 🔥

[@msjohnson1816]

Y'all killed that Soultrain performance 👏🏾

[@aryelmermaid]

I promise I’ve been singing R&B Money podcasts praises for the past few weeks. I’ve been telling everyone to give this Pod a listen. This is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Y’all’s love for the music really shines through. I enjoy every pod, every minute, every story!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@JustNelli]

Same here!! Better than 'standard' interviews!!!

[@letashaluxuries5661]

I got to know about IB and thanks to Tank and J for bringing him to us. The information, conversation and 💎💎 dropped….thank you. Thank you IB for being a fan of Ari and making her the 1st lady of Dreamville and instilling in her to be herself.

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

💯

[@talkandeattv]

“i love you too erykah” was the best part of the whole video💚🤣💚 we need the queen on the podcast !

[@margiesmith2455]

This podcast constantly put me on to a lot of NEW R&B. I’m becoming educated on the new and behind the scene’s people

[@Juslegendfr]

J. Valentine really tapped in with the management industry

[@therookiezpresents]

i am SOOOO GLAD Ib threw a shoutout to TPain. for real he is one of my all time favorites and i feel like he truly does not get enough recognition & flowers for his contributions to music history, but also music himself. yes!!!

[@laurawhittaker327]

Change Moore proved on the Soul Train Awards that she needs a guest seat on this podcast.

[@tanics4133]

Ms Erykah Badu..The Valentine loves you! Please pull up and grace us with your presence on the R&B Money Pod!❤️💰😂

[@RiRiTheGr8test]

@R&B Money Podcast, I’m going to be short and sweet this week. Y’all know y’all are the best, at this point! As I said, all gas and no brakes with these episodes. I always feel like I walk away with insight and knowledge of “all things r&b,” and always something unexpected. Y’all never let us down. The absolute best 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Keep them coming. Can’t wait for the live shows and merchandise. Ready is an understatement 🥰🥰🥰🥰See y’all next week ❤ 💸💸

[@shawannahenry1973]

Love the Podcast.. I’m so glad Ib said Jodeci’s “My Heart Belongs to you” for the same reasons.. Let’s not forget about Walter Lee Williams from the O’Jays that’s a great voice behind the powerhouse callled Eddie Levert!!

[@up2cuzz]

Finally someone mentioned Lauryn Hill’s Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album lol

[@tiabanks5585]

Tank and J we need R &B merchandise I need a Visor to Rep the show! C'mon yaw!!!!!

[@tiabanks5585]

My Favourite podcast, show Period! R & B money!!!!!!! We're Learning so much about the music business!

[@clariceisbeauty]

Thank y’all so much for bringing up Jojo!! He is one of my favorites! Has the most sincere voice and NEVER has to do the most.

[@candyb9774]

Finally! Someone named K-Ci for the Voltron's 'passion'; he is the embodiment of it...and was only in his early-mid 20's! Also, his Top 5 songs were fire! "Throwback" is my fave from "Confessions".

[@rachelderenoncourt3881]

I was in LA at at a Basquiat retrospective and Just Blaze was the DJ at the after party and when I tell you Throwback came on I lost my mind!

[@everettdailey]

I know Fauntleroy is in the queue. We need that episode

[@alpha5k813]

Tank & J should do a collab Ballad album of 25 love songs!

[@necee318]

Im late on this video but I agree with J…I’ve always said that Jojo and Shawn Stockman have beautiful voices. I also would like to add to those 2 Jazz of Dru Hill.

[@Klynnmorton]

Episodes are FIRE… but that performance on the Soul Train Awards. Tank & J need a whole album together STAT!!!!!!!!!!!! J got IT!

[@ChantileSmith]

My insert to the top 5 portion of underrated voices: Ricky Bell from New Edition/ BBD his vocals literally underrated. He will forever be in my top 5 in R&B

[@DesiLu4Life]

There's so many parts and pieces to the music biz. We often times just focus on artists and producers, but I love how there is a village helping to make an artist who he/she is/will become!! I've always been interested in the business side of things, myself!

[@coreyshake103]

The way Tank brushed off the TGT comment was hilarious 🤣 😂

[@tamarajohnson2315]

This podcast is amazing.. the richness of R&B the music, artist and for the culture is an always be amazing. I'm watching J and Tank on the Soul Train Awards-- straight FIRE! #R&BMoney

[@ronnieturner5074]

I like this guy IB it's just something about his vibe. Never heard of him before was sure nice to get to know him

[@emerywills5814]

The last episode with Ari was so special. I believe Tank was so drawn to Ari’s energy because he is Capricorn and she is Aries. The energy between those signs with Aries W and Capri M is extremely intense in many ways. I can’t want to hear what they create sonically together. There will be much passion. 😌 I would love to hear tracks separate with J. Valentine as well passionate water with fire is the warmest water lol. Thanks Guys! 😊

[@brandonroyalmusic2363]

I been saying this about Stockman from B2M for years.....He hands down is my favorite vocal from B2M

[@CSUGTV]

I love how they used yall theme music on the BET Awards!

[@AdielMitchell]

As an R&B artist, these podcasts are genuinely the most inspiring thing right now. Thank you for this platform. Mark my words, I’m gonna sit on that couch and tell my story one day. I love the energy, the work ethics, and the authentic conversations that are shared on this and I need to be apart of this world too.

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

Thanks for listening

[@insertyourquarters]

I truly admire IB, seems like such a wholesome guy who has learned a lot on his journey. This is one, if not the best interview I've seen on him. Thanks #RNBMoney ✨

[@p.garner2165]

@R&B Money podcast. Trust when I say. Y’all are the GOAT of r&b. Now the greatest on podcast.👏🏾👏🏾💐💐

[@DoctorDaniB]

Omg I can't believe Tank mentioned the Kenan Ivory Wayans show moment. I always tell people that's the first time my sister's and I took notice of him. We thought he was just so fine and we used to replay him licking his lips over and over. I still have it recorded on VHS. So funny that exact moment is a key part of his origination story. Wow such nostalgia. 😃

[@divadeedh]

Another one for the books. Love the history lessons you give the viewers.

[@IamMsSaddler]

The words J. Valentine shared were truly phenomenal. As a huge J. Cole fan, with Forest Hills Drive being my favorite album, I completely understand the impact of having a song that gives you everything. For me, a couple of artists who deliver that same vibe are Tank and Eric Bellinger. You’re absolutely right-Tank’s Emergency is my favorite. I could listen to it on repeat because it’s all about that feeling you get! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

1:52:28 With passion also comes with flaws, but that’s what passion is…!! I love that!

[@loyalty83]

You know, this podcast is very refreshing. I do not think that y'all understand the blessing that all are doing. This seems like somebody's life purpose here- y'all are giving people the PLATFORM to tell their stories. This is uplifting people. I hope y'all know that Yah will return this all @Jvalentine and @tank and @r&bmoneypodcast 10fold etc. because y'all are using y'all gifts and light to allow others to shine theirs. I will not be surprised if we start to see Rap Podcast, Rock Podcast and " the authority of all things rap and rock" etc following in y'all footsteps. I love trailblazers 💓 1yr Update: I can appreciate the certain truths that this podcast brings. However, I must say the nonchalant comments from the hosts regarding r kelly at this point are a bit eye opening to say the least . There is no separation between the man and the music- for the man is the music. I can respect IB's stance for not wanting to mention him at all. You know a lot of women of which are victims and survivors watch your podcast- and I can understand some feeling very snubbed by the constant dismissal of that man's horrific character every time he is mentioned. I mean you really encourage guests who prefer to stand on integrity to mention his name. I also understand that some people will never care about certain things like abuse unless it directly affects them. It may be beneficial to the higher good to consider this moving forward. Be well.🧿

tiiiiiiiiiimeeee is slipping away from meeeee yeeeeaaah

[@tjwhite1177]

WE can NOT leave RKelly out of R&B. NOT A FAN OF WHAT HE DID OUTSIDE of music. Let's not forget he was also violated as a kid. His childhood was toxic. His GENIUS in music will NEVER DIE...from being an artist to his production. A genius.....carry on

[@Wyzdom1974]

Real Talk 💯💯💯

[@Nessachanel1210]

💯💯

[@coryfountain7218]

@TJ White I completely agree with you. R Kelly is a R&B legend! I love his music/contributions to music. The song's he's made for himself and others can't be denied. Robert Kelly did some horrible things but R. Kelly made some major musical contributions. Can't discredit his work based on his personal life.

[@JanuaryGoat]

His abuse doesn't give him a pass at abusing others! Plus, there's been PLENTY of mention of Robert on this podcast so far. He has been given his flowers and not discredited although he's A FUCKING PERVERT!

[@cornellwatts5939]

Yo, J Valentine! I always say that about Jojo!!!! I actually say it more about Nate than Shawn, but the OG of being phenomenal and getting way less recognition than he deserves is the AMAZING Walter Williams of The Mighty, Mighty O'Jays!

[@yalondawilliams7017]

I agree 💯!!! I love me some Walter!!

[@cornellwatts5939]

@Yalonda Williams He is so underappreciated IMO. I felt validated when (in an interview) Kenny Gamble was asked who his best singer on Philly International was; Teddy Pendergrass or Eddie Levert. His answer was WALTER WILLIAMS! At that moment, I knew that I knew what I knew!!!

Sidebar: I felt Tanks pain when IB said He would wipe Robert Kelly off the books I felt him and respect it but I also felt the pain in Tanks voice lol (we don't support the man at all but his influence in the music is unmatched) J was really into this episode asking all the questions I loved it great interaction all interview.
