What Happened To Bobby V To Make His Career SLOW DOWN...

[@stuntedgrowthmusic]

Far as singing how do you rate Bobby V? Personally he was a great singer! His song "Words" was that one

[@Ms.TiaPoteat]

Blackberry Molasses is such a classic!

[@eugenedantzler4485]

Tell me and Beep 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@anthonymcmillan8273]

He was in a group called "Mista". The single they had out in the mid-90's called "Blackberry molasses"! THAT SONG WAS MY SH-T!!!! When he was on his own my song that was a single "Slow down"! Imo that song was the ultimate summer song of 05!

[@thevirtualmixtape]

Fun fact, Blackberry Molasses was produced by Organized Noize. R.I.P. Rico Wade.

[@anthonymcmillan8273]

@thevirtualmixtape. I definitely remember him producing that classic hit. I know that he passed away, but from what though?

[@jjtiojohn12]

hell yeah that got hella play summer of 05" I will also say Mrs. Officer was another banger too in summer 08"

[@bornwithlove95]

Blackberry Molasses is such a heartfelt song, that's real music if you don't feel nothing in your heart and soul when listening to that song shame on you and get right with God (in my opinion)

[@MJ-ps3tk]

Fun fact: Tupac was signing blackberry molasses outloud in a car, before he was shot and killed in a drive by shooting in Vegas. Blackberry molasses was one of his favorite songs.

[@NabilAbdulrashidComedy]

“You like weee weeee weeee!!” 😂😂😂😂😂 that is nasty work

[@d1inonly]

[@kNoWnUnKnOwNnOtkNoWn]

BARS!!!🤣🤣

[@eugenedantzler4485]

Gimmie my money Bobby😂😂😂😂😂

[@HannibalLector-e8y]

And that's why I don't support ts ! They are messy. It's one thing to homosexual, it's another to change what you are born as. The whole thing is based of deception.

[@bjaxon]

He sung the hell outta pimpin all over the world, blackberry molasses is gon be my funeral song, and his rockwitcha cover is pretty good. Talented brother for sure

[@khesipresents1885]

Ill always have him in my playlist because of Lil waynes ms officer

[@Raygun34]

Saw him last year at a concert and Bobby can still sing and gives a good performance.

[@GHOST91141]

Bobby V being caught in the hotel with the transformer was the end

[@armedessential]

This was the comment i was looking for

[@davidgerald133]

Yeah...thats stunt 1 2 and 3. If you gonna pay for weird sex...THEN PAY what's owed.

[@eugenedantzler4485]

[@alphanomega2799]

[@SBTheBully]

You forgot your shoes...and your keys Bobby Valentino 🤣🤣🤣

[@Dtown1996]

His first album is a classic

[@pendrick]

I jus popped in to say "he slipped into a trance" is DIABOLICAL

[@17thN.O]

I laughed when I saw it.

[@Ms.TiaPoteat]

Stunned growth R&B : Rell, Rome, Horace Brown,

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

I think he did Rome. Horace Brown and Rell would be great though.

[@123theprodigy5]

Man, I was seven years old in 2005, I first heard slow down on the way to the eye doctor that year.

[@blakebrown84]

Bobby V is certainly respected in the R&B genre and has a loyal fan base. He has hits here and there, so he still making music. His best years was with DTP label. Why wasn’t he a bigger star?

[@larrymarshall8900]

They DTP and Def Jam dropped him. He still makes music but it isn't as big as his early years.

[@blakebrown84]

@@larrymarshall8900a lot has to do with his scandals

[@jasminecute22]

i love him still

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

Bobby V definitely should have had a bigger career. You should do another r&b artist next which is Lyfe Jennings.

[@HannibalLector-e8y]

I still fw Bobby V. He went thru some storms. But i dont quit fw people when they are down ! Bobby still booked and blessed.

[@twin78]

You gotta do one on Dreezy or D'Angelo

[@jermainejones54]

Another good one to do.......... Is Day 26 💯

[@mb2024OL]

Bobby v is still good. Even his features were hard that Ludacris by the end of the night was nice. He had fire in his eps like coko lovely which went hard! I think Bobby should just swung into the negativity like hey I like what I like. He killed that first album though!!

[@lerenzoroberts3663]

My favorite R and B singer he did what he was suppose to stayed in his lane consistently dropping great music still today 🎵🎤

[@socrittylove]

That transmission had homie slippin for good 🤦🏿‍♂️🤣

[@Lorenzo1992able]

TBH Bobby Valentino being an R&B act on Def Jam his career was overshadowed by NE-YO and The Dream 2 R&B acts on Def Jam that were writing biggest hits for other R&B and Pop Artist

[@ronnycarson827]

His debut album on Disturbing tha Peace was well produced and probably much better than he deserved.

[@timonboyd8761]

Finally!!!

[@iamdjwp]

Think we can get an episode on The Whoridas? 🙏🏾

[@Marvilloso]

Shot calling and big balling, that’s my shit. They first album was slept on

[@dannydamnmendez]

Their collab with Tha Alkaholiks was 🔥

[@nitoduzit]

Awesome recap on Bobby V. You have to do one on The Newtrons. Keep up the awesome work fam. ✊🏾

[@rkooscar6866]

I miss Bobby V

[@aprilhardin4830]

Blackberry Molasses

[@eugenedantzler4485]

Tell me... Beep. Annonymous.... Slow down he had some hits.

[@17thN.O]

He did. Those were fiya songs.

[@eugenedantzler4485]

​@@17thN.Oi still listen to all of em

[@Marvilloso]

If anyone knew, Bobby v first album, the beats Tim and bob done on that album was Chico Benymon’s check out his songs on KZbin.

[@jeremeybinion550]

He had the looks, the voice, and the songs…. I think he but all his good songs in one album... Also, R&B took an L as well... Women no longer appreciated the pretty boy.

[@Official_Stane]

you gotta do the dream

[@asaadjackson9603]

We need a Stunted Growth episode about Rell

[@shay_lah]

Rearview w/ Ludacris shouldve been a single. still love Anonymous too 🔥

[@awesomestar7597]

The fact that trans woman exposed him was so tacky. Baby u look sad being grown and still selling yourself. A real escort gets the money before anything happened. I love Bobby Vee

[@SUPREMEgoldchain_REAKTZ]

Right! I was wondering why the fool didn't get the money 1st. She not very good at doing business 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@WarriorsforInfoTV]

Bobby V, Ne-yo, Lloyd all were supposed to be next.

[@mackvelly8899]

Ne-Yo is eating from Songwriting credits so he’ll be straight no matter what. Lloyd was down with Wayne for a bit. That’s crazy how that didn’t work out. He was marketable and had hits already

[@WarriorsforInfoTV]

@@mackvelly8899 They all have records that will play in clubs, so they'll get royalites. But all 3 are stunted growths.

[@kingassyo6043]

And the Dream

[@ricardored207]

2005 brought forth so many musical acts one of them being BOBBY, but the content of his behind the scenes controversy outweighed his talent‼️

[@nitoduzit]

“He’ll be back” 😂

[@gregwhite7852]

Comethazine would be a interesting fall off to review

[@denniswiggins7739]

Transformer allegations...

[@tiorange1235]

Bro jus disappeared. Every thing he dropped was a hit

[@kleard2]

What happened to Bobby V? Could it be that he got caught with a transformer?

[@TheMick126]

Him n crisette dating

[@BkGoodBoyBad]

A trans amorous man in hip hop and R&B???…shock horror. Get over it.

[@LaCheleWallace]

Interesting... Bobby Marcel. I first caught wind of him when he was singing w/ his band, Mista. They debut single, 1996's Blackberry Molasses was coo', but I fell in love w/ _Lady,_ a cut that I'd let spin on repeat for hours on end and be completely satisfied. Why didn't it work out? Well, who were they signed to? I believe they were signed to Elektra Records and we know how they treated artists/bands who they were enthusiastic about v. artists/bands who they were not enthusiastic about. Not gon get into that right nah, but if you research it, you gon see. Bad Boy's 112 came out after them and just kinda took off. Island's Dru Hill debuted a few months later and took off as well. The practical reality is that if a label wants you to be #1, you gon be #1. Think about it. Brit Spears, J. Lo, etcetera couldn't sing a lick to first, but they labels kept throwing dollars behind them and the rest is history. Anyhow, Mista didn't work out, ok...fine. Fast forward to 2005's _Slow Down_ and MAN! I was OBSESSED w/ that record. Things started to get tricky during the creation of his sophomore LP because his label curiously steered him into a different direction that they saw fit for him. He was coo' w/ working in his respective comfort zone. Things didn't work out, they dropped him, turned around and blamed him for it. See, that's that sabotage BS that I be talkin' about. A lot of artists done been through that same BS. It's not a coincidence. If Bobby Marcel made magic w/ Tim & Bob, why fuck up that formula for something that's not guaranteed? Tim & Bob was guaranteed. Nah, everybody is independent. What does that mean? That means it's just the artists & the fans. Nothing more or less. A lot of artists tried to carry this music thing independently for as long as they could until it just became too much. Free music was the norm during the mid aughts. Ginuwine was like ABSOLUTELY NOT! Ain't way in the world he gon keep releasing music for folks not to buy it, much less hear it. Jill Scott's another one. She said ABSOLUTELY NOT! Anyhow, Bobby Marcel is not the problem. He can still sing. It's the label. They decide on who's gon pop or who's gon flop. Look, watch this though. Most R&B artists from the '90s/'00s are caught in a tricky position of staying true blue or going trendy. When they stay true blue, they're not evolving w/ the time. When they go trendy, they're trying too hard to be current. See, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Bobby Marcel fits that to the T. That transgender moment he had was all for publicity. I didn't hold that against him because I knew what he was doing soon as the video hit the Internet. That was a test. When he releases music - crickets. When he's caught in controversy, he has the world's attention. A lot of artists stage they own publicity in order to create a buzz. You gotta do something extreme in order to grab folks' attention and then spring a project on them. R&B is just in a bad place...

[@SashaTatiyana]

Im a big fan of his,, but that definitely was not a publicity stunt. If you live in Atlanta.....then you know. I have several transgender friends whom he's been with, receipts and all. He should have took her phone, the same way he took my friends phones.

[@dominicharris5489]

he simply wasnt good enough to go independent. He didnt have no cult following to keep steam without the major label backing. he was OK as an artist. he was better of signed to a major label clearly

[@pillow_princess45]

Bobby can’t sing. You can talk about it with your therapist.

[@Charleswalker-3dj]

First

[@regdexter4014]

bobby like them ladyboys😂😂😂
