Chaka Khan is so beautiful. She's definitely quirky and everyone knows about her struggles with addiction but she's such a beautiful spirit. Has that pure artistic energy that the great ones possess. And she's completely comfortable in her own skin. Salute to the legend.
Well said. Although must say she's being extra short on the full stories here to not mention anything too bad. It's like she's lowkey re-imaging herself as she's been lately. She lacks discipline for a-level celebrity and that's ok I guess. I thought she went to UK for tax issues or something and the first song to marry rnb/rap was Teena Marie in 1980 with SQuare Biz. Chaka's a hoot nontheless, gotta luv her LOL
@@nitelillie man, she's a lady of a certain generation. She's not gonna come out here and lay out all the details of situations like this generation of clout chasing social media clowns do. I respect that. I don't need to know how many lines she did with Sly or Prince in the 70s. Who cares? She's being pretty open about what she was doing but she's not gonna go into details as she shouldn't. She ain't Saigon or Lil Boosie.

He looks like a girl but he will take your girl with no problem and wear some women clothes n will take your girl now that's some shit.prince 4eva the man
Yeap, Prince would just rent out the entire place. I remember one time at Paisley, I guess he wanted to see a movie. He shouted to the crowd, hey you wanna go to the movies.... Yeah he rented out the entire theater at like 3am in the morning. And that is how I saw Minority Report.
I was there too! That was during the celebration that Prince held in Chanhassen, Minnesota back in 2002! Man, that was the BEST week of my life! Soooo many good memories! I wish I could go back and relive that week all over again!
I met Chaka in England because I worked in Covent Garden. I saw her in a store and waited until she finished shopping with a male friend of hers. Then I approached her and she was glad to see another black American. She liked the fact that I worked for First Chicago London Office since Chicago was her hometown. We chatted for about 30 minutes. She was very easy to talk to. On the other hand, I was in arms length of Tina Turner at the Sandton Sun Hotel in Johannesburg, SA. I lived there for 2 years; but, did business for 5 years. Tina was very aloft. She sat alone with some security guy to make sure no one approached her. I didn't say anything to her either even when she made eye contact. However, I did talk to her beautiful dancers the twins girls. They were fun.
@@virgodiva2811 I wish you would stop interrupting too but I like her better than Vlad. If he was doing the interview, I love Chaka to death but I would not be watching it.
Something is definitely going on. Won't say it's of a "street" nature; but definitely of a "prescription" - pad nature...it ain't SOBER. and it's clear to c. 👀
She didn't know they were going to put Melle Mel on "I Feel For You". When she heard it, she hit the ceiling. I remember an interview she did on New York Hot Tracks, she was blasting her producers, putting down rap and she wouldn't even pronounce Melle Mel name properly
She didn't even want to do the video actually. She hated rap and hip hop culture of the time so they had to shoot their parts separately because she didn't want to even be around it. The only reason she agreed was because the song was a hit and she couldn't deny it. Melle Mell's part was put in without her consent if I remember correctly and she hated it. Even in this interview she could barely say that it was the first time rap and R&B were fused and she kinda dismissed it. The expression on her face and how quickly she moved on says it all.
@@EricAllenJett yeah but those Guru Jazzmatazz albums were more jazz oriented than hip hop influenced. Guru was pretty clear that his first musical love was jazz and that those albums were dedicated to his love for jazz music. You haven't seen Chaka on any other rap songs, now have you? Chaka is also a lover of jazz.
@@Israel-nb7ip But I mean, he still rhymed on the track lol. The hate for Hip-Hop was REAL back in the early 80's but I'm glad the naysayers were proven wrong without a doubt...
massive point you've just made. I waited 8 years to meet Rickson Gracie my former idol. To my shock he was standing 10 feet away from me at a jiu jitsu event. I couldn't believe it, I told my buddy omg I'm finally going to meet him! So i walked up to him and said hello rickson. He told me "to get the fuck away from him". In a daze of shock, i backed away from him and I looked to my right and there was a whole crowd of people staring at me with weird shocked looks on their face. I was massively crushed. That taught me a massive lesson. That the people that I admire might not admire me back, and at the end of the day we all are just human. And that celebrities lie too.. They pretend to be people that they are not.
Chaka Khan so down to Earth. A regular Lady whose done it all and humble as can be. I got a feeling tho that she will set you straight with the quickness. I can see how many successful artist want to get out of the states once they see the unfair crap and traps that they set for Successful artist . It doesn’t matter how successful that you are when you have discernment like Chaka you can smell the crap miles away. Love me some Chaka Khan.......
I felt that moving to UK part. I left Canada two years ago because I needed to clear my head. So much going on and I needed to figure myself out. Going back to Canada nw at 25 and I'm a brand new person! Exposure is so important for growth and healing.
@darrell mfume - Africans don't want Black Americans there. Opening a business requires jumping through so many hoops and having to grease too many hands. They want the American dollars, but they don't want the competition.
Maybe and maybe not she claims she was never attractive to him I kinda believe that she threw herself out at prince but he didn't see her that way only because she could sing and he wanted her hooks in his songs
When black women smile it's the most beautiful sight to see. Take care of your dental hygiene! And your lips! Keep them moisturized and apply sunscreen on them
love Chaka because she is so real, doesnt bullshit. really respected her for calling out the clowns that went to celebrate on the day Whitney dies. she was the only one brave
Lunell: how do you just “hang out “ with prince? Chaka: oh he’d just clear out a restaurant- it’ll just be he and I . It must me damn nice !!!!! Lol I hate being poor !! 😩😩😩😩
As much as I like Prince Chaka killed it and made it hers. Prince recorded the song five years earlier. Of course he had no idea that the song would be remade by Chaka. Chaka had a phatter track that automatically made people want to dance not to mention her hypnotizing voice on the song...but it wouldn't have been possible if Prince didn't come up with the melodies. That's what made the song so catchy.
No and he knew she would kill it that's why he was interested in her..I'm mean its chaka 😂 he knew that .just like she killed sign o the times..she plays the drums but she knows prince will kill her on the drums it's a mutual respect 😂
@@tomboy5079lol he "probably" did or didn't because prince as well as other musicians write songs with other artist in mind...chaka was the big deal during that time..paul mcartny wrote songs with micheal jackson In mind (say say say...the girl is mine) Steve wonder wrote tell me something good obviously with chaka on his mind..so its possible lol
She doesn’t explain the story the right way.... She was suppose to actually meet Sly at the studio, and she called looking for him but Prince actually answered the phone, and told her he was on his way.... he tricked her into coming and she cussed him out for fooling her. Prince don’t care one bit, he just wanted to meet her and vowed he would write a hit song for her... but she liked “I Feel For You” and later she decided to remake that song from the “Prince” album... She didn’t like the rap portion by the way.... I love Chaka!!!
Wasn’t Rick James and Roxanne Shante with Lucy‘s rap & RickJames and the rapper on Mary chose a pimp the first to do a collaboration with an R&B singer and a rapper can somebodycheck that for me please

Not sure but that album Rick did urban Rhapsody was the shit to me and I know he has a song “do you wanna play” with Howard Hewitt is off the charts to but I guess his Genius was ignored by the masses
Now this whole topic got brought up trying to narrow down who did the first collaboration between a r&b singer and rapper ?? You seem to be on point with the facts so answer me this .. was Tina Marie the first female r&b singer to do a collaboration when she did “square biz” when she collaborated with her self or does that not count
This is way better than listening to a bunch of folks snitch on themselves or tell old ass prison and war stories. We get enough of that living in the fuckin hood. Keep these kind of interviews coming.

Not sure but that album Rick did urban Rhapsody was the shit to me and I know he has a song “do you wanna play” with Howard Hewitt is off the charts to but I guess his Genius was ignored by the masses
Now this whole topic got brought up trying to narrow down who did the first collaboration between a r&b singer and rapper ?? You seem to be on point with the facts so answer me this .. was Tina Marie the first female r&b singer to do a collaboration when she did “square biz” when she collaborated with her self or does that not count
Actually, The Treacerous 3 had Phillippè Wynn from the Spinners. That was one of the first songs to marry r&b with rap.
I'm in Asia now, been for three years now.
Who that doing the interview???
Chaka is timeless. No one like her. I really hope she is now drug free. Something tells me she is not.
Great chemistry between these to women.
Chaka is Beautiful... She reminds me of a seasoned Nicki Minaj..
She almost fell out lmaoo @ 0:09
One of the greatest

🇬🇧 I remember when she was in the U.K it was the in the 80's 👍🏾

She's fluent in the German language.
Best wishes to you Chaka Khan
This is way better than listening to a bunch of folks snitch on themselves or tell old ass prison and war stories. We get enough of that living in the fuckin hood. Keep these kind of interviews coming.
My 2 🐐's are Chaka Khan and Prince 💯
