R&B money supposed to be doing that but they getting a lot of new jacks and not grabbing the R&B legends that are still alive it's sort of sad so we do have to rely on drink Champs but so beautifully he's tying in like Parliament George Clinton Funkadelic like the samples they do have done with hip hop and R&B or The Isley Brothers and all the many thousands of samples that have been done from their catalog I think that connection that was somebody else drink Champs had who is one of The Originators in original East Coast hip-hop and soul that person connected those dots but this interview and George Clinton interview even the episode that they aired last week he was not bad cuz he was a historian from a b-boy perspective the tagging perspective the clothing and culture perspective he had a rich amount of history that connected the dots and he was a pleasure to have him especially with him being on the choreography side of the five elements he's on the music side to but he was more on the cruise and the b-boys and you know the dancing and Aang tagging Crews of the day my mistake The Isley Brothers were on R&B money my fault they surely were on R&B money I forgot I take all the R&B money stuff back no I don't know I don't I still say that they're many more old school artist that R&B money should have on their podcast because the foundation should be there those interviews are going to be iconic you never know when not only you can't give flowers to living musical Legends anymore but anything you know like the world could change you might not be the death of a person but the society might going somewhere so for posterity I think that you know these old-school R&B artists should be reverenced and honored while they're here

You've been a great influence on culture back home. Most of us grew up RnB and Hip Hop. And the Black Liberation Movement's influence was actually felt here. In the 20s, Marcus Garvey sent a ship to Namibia to support our cause and to unite us with Black America. One of my Uncles, Professor Mburumba Kerina came to the USA in the late 50s and was friends with Malcolm X, Maya Angelou (He is mentioned in her book, The Heart of a woman) , Du Bois and all the big players in Black Liberation during that time. This is beyond music. We are carrying on a tradition. Black Love is Black Wealth!! Asé!

OMG - this is a great interview! Music has always been a big part of my life and The Isley Brothers are in my top 5 favorites. Thank you Drink Champs for honoring these gifted brothers. I LOVE the Isley Brothers! I'm old enough to remember Kelly and Rudolph Isley and when all the brothers were alive - talk about a powerhouse group! And Ronald and Ernie keep that great legacy alive. Their catalog is nothing short of amazing. Love them!

[@DNice..]

this will be a legendary interview glad nore bringing some of the living legends in while they are still here great job nore

[@Bsk2994]

The Isley Brothers are iconic. I’d love to learn more out their writing / creating process. They also seem God fearing, God has definitely kept and bless them to this day.

This interview...whew!! One of my favorite groups of all time. I absolutely love the Isley Iconic Brothers. These beautiful black men do not age..lol I had the privilege of seeing them live in 2021, Charlotte NC. This was the first concert that I experienced with all generations..ages 13 to 80. It was a crazy, fun time. Ain't no flex like the Isley flex and they have earned it. Iconic Greatness❤❤❤❤

Love their music. Can’t forget that R. Kelly wrote a lot of their later hits in the 90s and 2000s.

[@dimitriclark1959]

No he did not. Kelly wrote a couple of Isley hits. Ernie wrote 10 times more hits for the Isleys than Kelly. And ALL of Ernies songs are remade, sampled, and standard classics. Kelly's songs are very good.

​@dimitriclark1959 Kells wrote and produced most of the body kiss album. Contagious, down low, down low remix, busted, secret lover, what would you do, friend of mine. Co directed the videos too if I'm not mistaken. Way more than a couple buddy.

[@young1852]

My favorite R&B group 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gpproductionz]

To think that their influence goes to Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, all modern R&B from the 70s on up to the entirety of Hip Hop culture and music shows you how important The Isley Brothers are to music history as a whole!

[@maynetayn]

Ron sharp as a GOT DAMN TACK!!!

[@ablacksquare]

I ❤ and appreciate this episode. I’m grateful for the living account of how they contributed to my well being and existence. The upmost respect and gratitude.

[@A-Kings-Cut]

Crazy that Jimi Hendrix played guitar in their band for a min back in the day...livin legends

[@MizzEst]

Ernie has the greatest 🎸 riff “ WHOSE THAT 💃🏾” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ThinkSpeakRepeat]

Man drink champs is on a whole other level than other podcasts...they got my favorite group ever on here..im only 30..but i love t(H)e (I)sley bro(T)hers ♥

[@grandarsonrecords6002]

The Isley Brothers were in their prime their entire career 💣

[@dimitriclark1959]

This statement is everything. Solid. True, and Well said.

[@sharonallison9273]

I appreciate the way the ISLEY BROTHERS have been able to exude professionalism and love ❤️ throughout the years. Staying true to the game! Perfect gentlemen fighting for their "rights" when certain people thought they could "push" these men around. The ISLEY BROTHERS never feared nobody who "tried" it! We learned a lot from this family! This interview is such an HONOR to be witness to! From Twist and Shout until today! With all this BULLS××T GOIN' DOWN!!!! Creepin in from the BAY!!!

[@ProceedWithCaution0916]

IKR! I'm usually not watching YT vids this time of day. Drink Champs just started playing and I was like "WOW! I'm catching a LIVE!" Then I was like "OMG! THE ISLEY BROTHERS!" That was definitely divine providence🎶

[@sharonallison9273]

Thank you! 😊 That's how it happened for me too!!! I remember in the late 60's they had a "sound" so professional in every way! This interview was so very needed since they can talk about so much! The HISTORY! WoW!!!!

[@montraedavis2201]

This is one of those groups that have timeless music. Icons!!! We will never get another Isley brothers!! Mr. Bigg giving older men that vibe. Ernie is one of the best guitarist of all time. My goodness these 2 sexy! Young men can take a page out their book!! I still listen to their music as if it was just released. They made music to show a man how to express their love and sexuality to a woman. No voice like Ron Isley. A generation owes them for keeping real music alive! Kudos to Drink champs!!

[@willforeverpubg4235]

The Isley Brothers need to get Bio pic movie about their incredible music and life .

[@kendrap-LvnHppnss6371]

Love these legends right here!!! I grew up on their music from love ballads like Between the Sheets, Don't Say Goodnight, Groove With You and Footsteps In the Dark to jams like Fight the Power, I Wanna Be With You, Here We Go Again and The Pride....this is a must-watch episode....so interested in knowing how they started. 😉
