Part 1: • Jon B: There Were No W...
-----
In this clip, Jon B discussed working with Babyface and how Babyface's music and vocal ability greatly influenced him. Jon B even said that he would mimic Babyface's voice in order to impress girls. He went on to reveal that his initial foray into music was meant to be on the production side of things but eventually transitioned into being a performing artist.
Later on, Jon B talks about his smash record "They Don't Know" and he admits when he made the song he thought it was his best ever.
When it comes to Jon B I don't see a culture vulture, I see someone who genuinely has a love for the culture and music. He never switched up his sound or changed who he was. Really love Jon B
Jon B got some HEAVY hits outside of They Don't Know, people sleep on his catalog. Dude looks like he has not aged at all.
FAX. DON'T TALK..
Mr SnubNose r you still down a classic
Black women keep him looking young lol
Hell yeah I have ALL of his album ..been loving all his albums since 95.
@@Ms.Carla86 FACTS. Beautiful Black Queens❤️ It's nothing like them❤️

I’ma say this again. “Don’t Talk” by Jon B. is still MY SH*T!💯💯💯
4ever
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
When that song comes on I'm like "OH SHIT!!!!"
I agree and that was a dope record and I felt like that record should of been bigger than what it was but for some reason the label didn't push it like they did this other singles and then he was dropped from the label but at least he tested the waters to see if he can do it on his own and I respect that.
YES!
Jon B is an R&B legend. Race has no boundaries when it comes to pure artistry.
THX U, KING STAN!!!!! I like JonB, but the man STUDIED, ATE, SLEPT & DRANK black folks music and culture.....SIMPLE AS THAT!! He said it himself! I can't stand when people always want to play dumb and make these stupid comments as if white people like him, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke & Bruno Mars were born with the singing, dance and musical style that they portray to the world... People never want to give black folks credit for ANYTHING!! smh
@King Stan^^^^ you ignorant as fuck bro! Both of yall.
"They Don't Know" is such a timeless song!! The dude pays respect to the culture that he's literally part of it!
Dont say that to lord jamar
Respectfully asking, yourself as a black man, how do u feel about Lord Jamar s comments about Eminem, or I guess white people in hip hop.? And yea Jon B was the shit!!
Lewisland ft
@@lrob6971 I feel Eminem has done a lot to be part of the culture. His contribution is undeniable. And I guess this is where I disagree with Lord Jamar. On the other hand I get his point where he says not every black person can relate to Eminem's music because I don't and it's fine! Sometimes you listen to a song because it's good and not because you relate to it.
Its a difference when white people take the culture and use it to their benefit. . But its another thing to submerge yourself into black music and give back to the culture while paying homage for influencing your style. . Thats the deal breaker for me
We seen Jon B and clicked ASAP real old school R&B . Back when music was real still .
Nicholas Pierre Coleman exactly. They don’t make music like that (very much) anymore. It’s like the bar has been lowered!!!! Seriously!!! Smdh
@@menosbbgirl the bar has been destroyed. These new artist can't sing without auto tune lol blame T pain .
Nicholas Pierre Coleman lol yea I definitely clicked asap. first thing I thought bout was him and TUPAC song are you still down. 😎 classssic
@@Lessoninablessing classic . On mamas. First thing that popped in my head " R U Still Down ? " 🏁💯
Nicholas Pierre Coleman bingo😎🤙
The entire cool relax album was so dope
Patrick Smith classic
Jon B. Is a r&b treasure bruh. Dude’s music epitomizes what r&b is about. Nothing but respect and gratitude for giving me some of my most favorite r&b songs. 💯
Facts!! No gimmicks just pure rnb music.
Factz!
Before Robin Thicke & Justin Timberlake Jon B. was the man💯
GunLineBoss 87 Robin Thicke was signed to Uptown and released a single in 2002 so I think he came out before Jon B.
Justin T is no r&b at all... he's a punk bitch
@@eelised7805 oh ok I did not know that good info bro💯
You know wut I meant when I said that tho lol a lot of people dont bring him up in the convo when they talk about smooth R&B white boys
@@eelised7805 how if Jon B been around since early 90s
His Unsung Episode was incredible
Sanford Lanham yes it was .. so was Montell Jordan’s .. did you see his?
It was OK but it focused too much on his race rather than his music. This interview has been a lot more information.
I had to play They Don't Know again. That song is timeless, man. I still love it.
I’m 23, but Jon B got me with “Someone To Love” and “Overflow”. Been listening to his art for years now 🙏🏾
"They Don't Know" definitely one of the top joints from the 90's.
Absolutely not
💯💯
For the year it came out it was one of the hottest.. but I wouldn't say hottest of the 90s
facts
Factz
“They don’t know” is one of those songs I play daily!
+KpTheG LOL me too
Joshua Mills I’ll pass.... God Bless
Everything musically that Babyface touched back then was golden: Jon B, Toni Braxton, Karyn White, the Soul Food soundtrack (?), the Boomerang soundtrack (?).
Kobies Boxing Truuuuuuue.
Waiting To Exhale soundtrack, too.
Siedah Holmes Hell yeah, that soundtrack was fire. It's just my history of Babyface was kinda blurry.
I always loved Jon B. ❤ He still in my rotation R&B list. "2019"
Jon B is very important to the R&B community....got to have some Jon B in rotation
Bon J
Brah I can listen to 90's R&B all day and not request a Jon B song! Lol
Jon b is a vibe!
I swear Vlad is the G.O.A.T with these interviews has all the legends on here
Vlad is the greatest hip hop journalist ever. It’s just a fact at this point.
The Culture Vulture G.O.A.T. get it right.
@@justhewop Or Vlad is good at paying people to come on his show. He is actually a horrible journalist, often unprepared with facts, and misinformed about his subjects. In that video he implied that Tracy Edmonds was "just a model married to Babyface" and unqualified to be a music exec, and Vald is probably less qualified to be a "music interviewer" because he isn't a journalist. He's a guy who was smart enough to monetize videos where he asks, misinformed, vaguely racist and sometimes culturally insensitive questions. With good guests sometimes.
He need to stick with these interviews.
They don't know holds up to everything out now.
i like that he gave johnny gill and ralph props
Word👌
He has so many classic hits but "ISN'T IT SCARY" is slept on! Jon B is definitely a legend.
Jon B... The legend. Thanks for your incredible music
I'm loving this interview. "Someone to Love" and "They Don't Know" are great songs and on my playlist. Can't wait to hear Jon B. talk in depth about "Are U Still Down?" with 2Pac. That's my ish! "It's in your eyes...I can see it in your eyes..."
he nearly didnt release it...Afeni Shakur convinced him to put it out
he nearly didnt release it...Afeni Shakur convinced him to put it out
@@GrayFoxGamingHD Thank you for mentioning that. I never heard that before. I wonder if he thought it may come across like him trying to capitalize off of Pac's death? If so, I respect him for being mindful of that.
Yeah that the song “I Can See That she Want Me” “Baby Are You Still Down”
Jon b was a good artist
He respect the culture
Vlad @ 9:07.. "I'm not really an R&B guy" Um you're not really a Hip Hop guy either Vladimir
😭💯FACTS
I read this in the voice I think you wrote it in 😂
@@444bakari9 💯👍😆
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯💯
GADRA 7 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Time after Time” from his bonafied album still one of my favorite R&B songs ever
Yessss that song is crafted so well
The 3-track finishing stretch on Bonafide are my favorites, especially "Gone Before Light". His performance on "Love Don't Do" reminds me of Sade for some reason. Honestly, that song feels like a Sade track lol
kiaba360 - yess those songs where so obscurely sexy and luxurious, I miss that realm of songwriting and production
When I first heard “Someone to Love,” I thought it was just Babyface.
That’s maybe a reason why Babyface got on it lol
+FrankWonderBeantown LOL me too
You ain’t the only one. I was like “that’s a white boy sanging like that?” lol
OMG I’M 40 That was my thoughts, exactly!
FrankWonderBeantown what!? I still did until just now! Literally!!!🤯
Jon B. “Pretty Girl” is a good song as well.
Leon Hurricanes love that song just learned that song in 2016! I wished would have learned it earlier
That's my favorite Jon B song.
Leon Hurricanes that’s my favourite too
If you were a dude who sang when this album dropped, Pretty Girl was a smooth song to serenade girls to. For real.
Listen to After 7 album Reflections the songs he wrote for them are dope
Back in the day if you had a chin strap beard we called it the “Jon B” lol
U a Damn lie!!
canon Evans naw I ain’t, in some occasions we did lol
Lol so true
Yup 😂
If you don't mind me asking. Where are you from?
Jon B is a white boy that respects and loves the culture and contributes positively to it. Vladamir on the other hand is a white boy that's obsessed with the negative aspects of the culture and exploits it and vultures off it, key differences. Anyway Jon B is a 90s r&b goat idc no discussion.
Well said.. I always use to say "Jon B is the only white cat I truly accept in Black Culture".
Possibly the most underrated complete artist of a generation but I’m actually kind of glad that he’s remained sort of a hidden gem all these years. He didn’t become commercialized and oversaturated. He keeps the anticipation alive and I’ve always appreciated that about him
unappreciated LEGEND!!
He had us out here not listening to what people say
🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯
Jon. Is such a great person. Humble brother. I love this brother it was such a pleasure meeting him.
One of the most underrated r&b singer EVER!!!.... I met him back 'o5.. Very Humble.. U cant help but like him..
I've always been a fan, but I Love Jon B even more after this interview! His spirit is so genuine and humble. 💙
“Calling On You” is a underrated song.
Drake sampled that
Reginald Daniels I think Drake did good
@@reginalddaniels1137 the sample was used inappropriately
ThaHeadRaider 32 nah it was decent
That whole album is slept on. Straight 🔥
They Don't Know,
Whatcha Say Boo,
Someone To Love
Are You Still Down
and Now Im With You, by Jon B.
These Songs Are Guaranteed 🔥🔥🔥
Lol
My girlfriend loves his music
Can’t wait for the full interview
Me too
Everybody keep talking about they dont know is a classic but are you still down was definitely that classiccc😎
Vent Williams yas that was the jam 👏🙌🏽
Don’t sleep on the track “Pretty Girl” from the same album. 💯👌🏻
He looks good....dare I say better than he did back in the day...damn 👀
Jon B has amazing body of work go back in the archives and look at some his albums dude is the truth‼️‼️
"Pretty Girl" is still one of my favorites 😎❤
Cool Relax Album - Classic!
The songs on that album calling on you and inside for the win
See Jon not a culture vulture he a student of the game. Justin Timberlake on the other hand is...
AGREED!!!!
tracksgalore amen
tracksgalore not only that what the heck has Justin given back to the black community
@Arielle Edwards but didn't black people start country music though?
Justin is not a culture vulture have you not listened to his music from when he was in Nsync, plus you need to watch the making of his first album justified on here.
I prefer.."Someone to Love" as my favorite Jon B joint. "Pretty Girl" was fire to but someone to love was so smooth and incredible.
Everyone's waiting on the part of the interview about making Are U Still Down with 2Pac.
De Lawrence Robertson frfr
That song is Classic & Pac's lyrics killed it.
I'm enjoying all of the interview so far.
Yup
"... put it out your mind, 'cause it's jealousy.." I still bump that with my Wife on the regular. Married for 9 together for 12. All love JB! I heard about you through listening to Pac growing up man. And I'll stay listening 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
Jeremee Tyler fuvk. I forgot that he has a song with Pac
Wow they managed to get Klay Thompson on here even tho he's in the NBA Finals 😂 jp shout out to Jon B. 💯
😂 😂 😂
🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂💀💀💀
Nah that's Jon Bernthal 💀💀💀💀
T.k Kirkland be like "yea vlad, jon b was sleeping on my couch when he wrote that song" 😂😂😂
🤣
Get ready for Vlad to milk the Tupac questions on the next clip
Why wouldn’t he ask him about Pac? They worked together, so quit hating. We want to hear about Pac.
I am so in love with Jon's speaking voice. He can talk to me all day every day.
I have his album "Cool Relax" on repeat. For those of you that dont know manager Sandy Gallin managed MJ, Jon B, Cher, Dolly Parton, Mariah Carey, Whoopi, and many others.
Brown Royal my fav Jon b track right there 👌🏼
@@spicysriracha2824 Yes :)
Overflow is still one of my favorite Jon B. songs....way underrated.
People think that just because he had "2 hits" (even though he had more) that he's being hyped up (I see you haters). And that he isn't a legend & earned his RESPECT in the R&B game. Go look at his resume. I promise he has worked with some of your favs!
2Pac, Jay Z, Nas, Scarface, Snoop, AZ, Cuban Link, Paul Wall, Beenie Man, ODB, Guru, Dub C, DJ Quick, Kurupt, Eric Bellinger, Donell Jones, Faith Evans, Tank, TLC, Coko, New Edition, Toni Braxton, Luther Vandross, Color Me Badd, After 7.
It like he said he wasn’t trynna be an artist so if anything he overshot his goal
Anybody who's a fan of John B knows that he wrote and produced his entire first album outside of the two songs produced by Babyface. Played nearly all of the instruments. He actually had more guest producers on the second album then he did on the first.
*2PAC* feat *Jon B* - "Are You Still Down?"
They Dont Know is one of my favorite R&B songs of all time
See if you can find and interview Craig David.
I was just thinking that 💯
Fill me in remix!!!
Brahhhhh.... u da real MVP.
This needs to happen. He moved back to he UK a few months ago. Not hard to get in touch with him
You get the vibe that Jon B. Uses cocobutter and jam hair gel
Clicked because he is so handsome. ♥️
Women are just like us...they just be frontin
Huh 😕
Propane K 1982 yeah he fine AF
Smooth white boy no homo jt and Robin Thicke got their career from him
Facts he was the first white boy with that real black soul
That cool relax album is still in my playlist rotation often
He looks like R.A. the Rugged Man's little brother.
STFU
@@josiellara1371 you stfu
Stackie Robinson he looks like celph titled’
Looks like Jon Bernthal 💀
Back when they made real R&b
That whole album......grew me up!! Still in my playlist.
Jon B. my favorite white dude and his musical catalog is timeless! R&B hits for days fa sho!
Say what you want, but R Kelly wrote" you are not alone", that's a inspirational song.
Yes I will say what I want, that person should be erased from music history.
Klay Thompson on Vlad trolling us like he's Jon B!!!! 😂😂😂
RoR Free lmao 😂
I have always loved how natural he is in his swag.Hes never tried that “act black” mess.Love him!
Jon B interview Part 3: so how did you and Tupac meet?
I'd be mad if he didn't ask
Cool Relax is a classic album. I listen to every song on that album to this day it's still in rotation.
Lately was a classic 💯🔥
shola ebofin they slept on that song so heavy bruh that’s actually my favorite song from him
Tim & bob were bobby valentinos producers too
CEE White Bobby V first album is a TRUE classic.
Legend.
His song "THEY DON'T KNOW" still resonate 2 this day. 🎶 don't listen 2 what ppl say that don't know bout you and me 🎶 put it out your mind cuz it's jealousy.😂😂
Vlad said he's not a R&B guy lol. Vlad wants to be a true thug from the streets??!! Lol
True thug from the streets have to listen to rap only??
@@rpk1878 it's just dumb nigga logic
I remember a lot of people thought it was Michael Jackson's song on "They Don't Know", the way Jon B. came in on that song he sounded just like Mike. Timeless classic!!!
"Touch you in the places no ones been before and I'll kiss you in the places men sometimes ignore" 🙌
Someone To Love,Burning For You,Just Get On,[Don't Say],[They Don't Know],Cool Relax,Are U Still Down,Whatcha Say Boo,Let Me Know,Ohh So Sexy,[Don't Talk].... Cocoa Brown,Hands On You, Az U.. not to mention what he did w/Quik.. he is R&B in so many ways..
I remember back in the day, when you used to order 8 CDs for the price of one, or some shit, BMG or Columbia House deals, and I ran into Jon B, because I was so into Jodeci, and then I got into Silk and shit, and Jon B was the shit, I cop his shit any time something new drop.... "Your lips, your smile, your tenderness...oooh baby" ... but Jodeci will always be my favorite RnB, but Jon is definitely 2nd, I felt his words as if it were mine!
They don’t know is one of my favorite R&B songs of all time.That guitar in that song is so smooth
I will be seeing Jon B live for the very first time this Friday June 7th here in Houston TX along with
DruHill...Hi-Five...Ginuwine..Mya..
Michel'le & Chante Moore!!! I'm soooo excited! I'm going to the concert by myself so I'm a little nervous about that lol but I'm going to try to just relax and have the best time possible 😃
Chante and Mya?! I didnt hear about them comin to the Bay Area. Have fun at the concert. You better than me cause Im not goin by myself lol. Good for you though. Dont let that stop you huh?! 😊👌🏽👍🏽
@@msd4743 Oh for real? Yeap Chante Moore and Mya are in the line up for the Houston TX show.
Damn Klay Thompson got time for interviews in between games?
Hahahahahaaaa
Swish🏀 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Lmao I’m not playing with y’all today 💀
😂
I LOVE this man!! Cool Relax is a CD you can bump without skipping a single song😍 Can We Get Down is the shit! He had Kci and JoJo on the background vocals
How in the hell Klay Thompson can do an Vlade TV interview and play in the NBA Finals at the same time?
antdogg2008 ahh u afool
Him and Pac R U Still Down? Is his best song in my opinion.
Facts!! 💯
Love me some Jon B this how I was introduced to him at 7 years old! The song and video took my breath away! Thank you Jon B for my Top 5 song! Man I’m old lol 😍💯😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Ive always adored him. Great voice great vibe. True artist. Very talented
I loved 'Callin on You' too! Shout out to Drake for sampling lol
Arguably one of the greatest and Timeless 90s R&B songs ever
Robin Thicke is good but Jon. B,, IMO,,is the ONE who should have the stage that Thicke is on...Again,,I like Thicke and the great music he has written,,but Jon. B seems to have more of a connection with the R&B vibe and he is a true pioneer in the 90s "Blue eyed" Soul.., ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS HE WROTE IMO,,,is "Do it all Again"..wow,,how the chords matched the feeling of what he was saying.,.Jon deserves a larger stage for sure...
Thicke is Great
Jon B is Legend
Jon b is my dream guy! My husband looks like him 😍
_Pleasures U Like_ & _Stronger Everyday_ , certified classics. Slow jams bump.
Jon B still fine AF😍. His black wife need to stop giving him our black don't crack secrets 😩
Lol!
The white face comment was so uncalled for. SMH
Leave it to lame ass Vlad🤦
