Tank & J needs to be applauded for being the TRUE BROTHERS that she needs!

"Success has many fathers. Failure is an orphan." BARS from this woman.

[@MaroonRose3216]

This went over my head 😩 somebody break it down for me

[@mmunchie2144]

@@MaroonRose3216 “success has many fathers” - When things are going well or are successful, many people are willing to take credit so that they can bask in the limelight. “Failure is an orphan”- when things are down or an idea fails, people will distance themselves and abandon ship. In her case, when she became successful, everyone wanted credit in helping her succeed but when she was struggling, she was on her own.

Her sun, rain, garden analogy to management in the industry was fire.

Waited a while on this comment untill I actually got to the part of this interview. You're absolutely right.

[@rigust12]

Kelly Rowland, Chante Moore and Toni Braxton need to schedule a trip to this podcast on their unbusy day....i want to hear their stories.

[@rachsalomon5819]

Wow, I watched this episode a year ago, and it's now 2024. "Made for Me" is rocking the airwaves and KZbin, and this episode is still phenomenal. Muni Long, I hope you're enjoying your well-earned success. And Tank and J, thank you for creating a safe space for artists to speak their truth. Thank you for putting out EXCELLENT, not good, but PHENOMENAL content. I love you guys, and please continue doing what you're doing for the R&B culture.

[@nonyab916]

I saw Tank years ago in a line waiting to go inside a club in New Orleans. He looked excited just to be around people and literally stood in the line talking when I’m sure he could have pulled some strings for the club to let him in. I’ll never forget that!

[@joyschannel169]

22:19 ❤ hes totally extrovert

[@iamtasheenas4856]

She’s operating from such a high energy space and it’s transferable. I absolutely loved this interview.

[@allenhudson4975]

You caught it too I see. Let me find out you have those Sothern roots too. LOL

[@reginaldblack8326]

? High energy space? What does that mean? If she is on a high energy why she cut her nose badly?

[@JustinRamelMusic]

I still have my physical copy of her debut record. Her pen been lethal!! I hope Muni takes that best new artist Grammy because it’s very much deserved!

[@duboi82]

I agree with this

[@rahdream]

I got mines too and had her autograph it for me. Never knew she would get this huge

[@jamesfrancis9091]

Same. I played that album out and sing it word for word.

[@lynsmarie1067]

You can definitely tell Muni Long knows the business side. She dropped lots of gems in this interviews. Respect queen.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

Yep, the true dirt that goes on. It's sad. Kudos to her for her surviving it.

[@nenej12]

Tank imo is kinda gaslighting her

[@luiqiespinosa]

Which is why I’m so happy she’s having success ❤ she went though a lot specially caz she’s a dark skin black woman in the music industry.

[@BeautyLoves88]

that’s interesting, b/c she was coming off as a know-it-all to me & hard to teach so to speak 🤔 let me watch again w a different lens, re: tank gaslighting muni

[@TheRetroWoman80]

@@BeautyLoves88 I can understand why you caught that vibe. I know someone personally who has a similar personality. While I watched it I just took it as her being more naturally reserved and also protective of her energies based on her particular life experiences. J and Tank, of course, have had their experiences as well. But, since this podcast began, I sense with them a more naturally open and playful, or chill vibe.....no matter who comes on to speak with them.

[@rearends79]

I love this podcast! I think my favorite episodes are with female artists because of the real and tender way that J and Tank speak life into these black queens! Muni Long is a queen and I loved hearing her story! She’s incredibly talented! R&B Money is a whole vibe and I am here for it!!

[@loyalty83]

I said the same sing. The two gentleman are very respectful to the ladies that they invite to their podcast.

[@libtopmodel]

I absolutely love them ❤️

[@RiRiTheGr8test]

Muni Long is what R&B needed. She’s got a viscous pen and she’s saying all the things that need to be said. I enjoyed this episode. Thank you @R & B Money Podcast for continuing to support and provide excellence. I’m thankful for the pod and a lot of the viewers/people in the chat who reached out upon learning/hearing about me losing family members. I was in awe of all the kind words. This platform has provided much more than information about music and the love of all things r&b, it has become a safe haven, and I’m grateful. All the kind words really helped me to get through. See y’all next week ❤

Virgos don't understand the "f it" button. They need a team of supportive free spirited friends to enciurage them to relax. I love this epsidoe and it's a PLEASURE.

[@nyshalawson22]

I love how Tank reassure her to let the past hurt go and enjoy the moment. She really deserves it. I’ve been watching her for years 🤗

[@brittneesanders9632]

Okay so Muni officially is my vibe! My favorite R&b songs she listed and even said AVANT!

[@Retroicon13]

I can understand why she keeps her guard up.... she's very humble.. shes sincere, shes not pretentious. she takes pride in what she does to the fullest and what i got from this interview is that she gives her all but people have taken advantage of her kindness and have used her. I like so many others value her body of work and she's a very talented artist and shes super grounded... she has great respect for herself. She was brought up right.

[@gracefulvirgo7448]

When Muni Long said “ in my Virgo mind” it all made sense to me.

[@MsDaniB314]

I've been a fan of Muni since her Priscilla Renea days. Dollhouse and Lovesick were my anthems in high school. I'm happy she's finally in the spotlight and having her moment. I look forward to seeing her star shine brighter and brighter. 💜💜💜

This is random, but she could play Patti LaBelle in a biopic! Such a beautiful and gifted artist! Enjoyed this episode!

[@jayraynido]

I agree! I don’t know what it is but she reminds me of Patti LaBelle. I think it’s the eyes.

Yes it’s the eyes! U are so right. I never saw it until you said something! Great eye!

[@letrishanowlin1949]

Also the poise. She has it.

[@Only1Rah89]

This wasn't just an Episode, this was #RnBMoney : School & Life featuring MUNI LONG ⚠️ This felt like a class with 2 professors and a master's graduate 🎓 In the music business ⚠️ Watching you 3 navigate from 3 different perspectives and still end up on the same path was super dope! All 3 were not only listening to respond but you all were also listening to receive! That itself is why longevity is attached to all 3 individuals ⚠️ Last but not least, that R&B vultron is NOT TO BE TOYED WITH #ATall⚠️

[@shadeenah8791]

1:11:00 I used to have a coworker who when things would go wrong at work that we couldn’t do anything about he’d say, “Just chuck it in the fuck it bucket.” I love that saying so much.

She’s Such A Cold Cut, Straight To The Point VIRGO ♍️ ‼️ She Knew Exactly What She Was Gonna Say, And Spoke With So Much Conviction.

[@lawestphilly]

She's so humble 🙏 yet it feels like the industry has taken advantage of her.

[@thedfferencetab1977]

We used to speak on MySpace… I followed her journey since 05. I remember her as Priscilla… I couldn’t be any more happy. You deserve all your 💐‘s 👑 truly. When a friend introduced me to Hrs & Hrs… I was like I keep hearing this record everywhere it’s pretty dope… when I seen the name on Wikipedia I froze… like WOW… she’s back… again. It’s rare you get an opportunity. Even more rare to do it again. She’s a 1 of 1. Edit: they start speaking on it around 39:00 But Hrs & Hrs around 44:00

“I do different things and I got keep this money coming in, liquid excitement.” Tank is a plum fool 😂. I don’t really know what it is, but this young lady resonates an anointing, that is the only way I can explain it. She comes off articulate and well versed. A quiet storm. I think Tank needs to add Muni to the Tank mentorship program.

Is anybody else interested in possibly seeing Tank & J Valentine in a comedy drama about the industry, with a few of their guests (Jamie & Lil Mo) coming through to make some cameos? Their chemistry is amazing & J. Valentine has awesome comedic timing.

[@reeboo43]

Saw an interview about 3 years ago when she still went by Priscilla and she was bitter about all she had went through in the music industry I'm so glad she persisted and how she learned from it and let it go and we can all see her success

[@skippruitt2391]

When Muni Long shared she has Lupus, if she would have been willing to share, I wished that would have been explored more for those of us that suffer from it to hear how she navigates her illness in the music business with such a grueling schedule. Thanks🙏🏾

This podcast is like attending school for me. I am learning so much about artists, producers, song writers, the music business, etc. Muni is a class act and so gifted. Thank you Tank and J. for sharing and inspiring.

[@ciscadanielle]

I can vouch that Tank is actually a cool cat, especially with regular people. When my sister first started doing videos, Tank treated her like family. He showed her love on the Lil Zane video set in 2003-2004 and even when he saw her at the club later on that week. He treated her with importance. He went out of his way. He was cool when he was in his prime... that type of treatment is few and far in between in Hollyhood 💪🏾 ❤️
