My fave part loool
@@mamabear2181 It was perfect! 🤣
i literally came back JUST to watch that part!! 🤣🤣🤣 i love when he busts that out everytime someone says tyrese’s name!
@@BeautyLoves88 Me too! I holler every single time! 🤣
lol it’s funny! They singing the intro of Da Brat x Tyrese - Whatchu’ Like
I had to go back and listen to all my favorite Trey Songz songs. CAN WE GET TREY ON THE PODCAST.
EXACTLY, Trey would be a good guest
Yes we definitely need Trey Songz on here with these two.❤
No one is giving the producers and the writers their flowers like you guys are. Thank you for shining so much light on these giants!
They are artists too and they deserve to speak their piece on the craft just like the other artists we see on stage, tour, award shows, etc.
One person I want ya'll to interview is Marsha Ambrosious from Floetry. This womans pen game is UNSPOKEN about. She not only has THE voice but that pen game....check the resume! Micheal Jackson - Butterflys, Glen Lewis - Lonely....her work and talent it insane
Love her
Yes!! I agree
FACTZ
Hell yeah 🤌🏾🤌🏾
Done!!!🎶🎶🎶
My GAWD…that “Laaaately” and “We don't buy no drinks at the bar” had me hollerin’! 😂 RnB Money hands down is definitely the BEST and most entertaining Podcast out!
timestamp??
😅❤
Troy is a phenomenal storyteller, and I'm not shocked because most writers often are! This episode is instantly among my top 5 episodes for giving industry intelligence alone!
Yep
Yep and so is trey songs when you listen to his songs which is why his a superstar
Mr Sir= THE KING OF R&B yall 😂❤❤
Kelz? 👀
@@Reneg8d_RenYep
Yes
@@Reneg8d_Renof course FREE R.KELLY NOW✌🏾🙏🏾
Thanks
I've always said Ready is a well put together album..literally no skips! No matter how you feel about the artist personally.
I have never skipped in any of Treys Records
He’s throwing out these heavy hitters like a grocery list. My man’s said Whitney, Aretha, Patti and kept going 😅😅😅😅😅 sheeshhhh
I hope Trey watches this. Of course him and Troy have a solid brotherhood, but it's the way he told the stories about the come up. He really gave him his flowers, and I hope he knows that his music is still loved by so many. I'll l never forget the day I became a fan.
Same here o was cleaning my house when his song Gotta Make It came on the radio. I stopped, sat down and listened and he was my Son from that point on lol
i damn near cried while he explained treys come up story bruh 🥺😢😢😢beautiful as a super fan…i’m in awe!
I was mentored by Troy as a songwriter for two years......there's nothing in this interview that I didn't hear at some point as far as development. I dropped the ball but I'm grateful for his belief in me as a songwriter. Shout out to Troy Taylor!!!!
You didn’t drop the ball fam. You got lessons from the goat. All you gotta do is pick back up
It ain't over, bro.
S s
@TrillCityBaby heck...you can write me a song😂
"Mr. Sir couldn't leave the state" is crazy 😂😂😂
This really showed me how important “WHO YOU KNOW” truly is, Trey Songz is lucky
Extremely lucky. It’s insane hearing the consecutive fortunate events that just happened to go in his favor.. unfortunately we all don’t get that chance but salute to Mr. Songz.
@@trekent4748 Facts ima big fan
Blessed
Tank went from loud, to a British like accent to Martin Luther King in one introduction. 😂 Great episode!
😁
😂😂
😂😂
He’s so unpredictable 😂
When Tank starts yelling..... It takes me down. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Johnte Austin don't get enough respect. Thank u❤❤😂
EASILY in the top 5 best interviews so far (right up there with Harold Lily, Avila Brothers, and Ryan Toby)
Love him giving Mario Winans his flowers! Top producer!
Absolutely
He need to be next
The facts that y'all call R.Kelly Mr.Sir kill me every time 😂😂😂😂😂
I figured that is who he was talking about. Thanks for the confirmation
I was like who is Mr Sir
@@tasheenasmith5616 like troy say if you know you know 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really didn’t know who they was talking about 😮
Give me the stories!! I love the stories. You can really tell Trey Songz was developed. Someone took the time to invest in him as an Artist and allow him to be himself, but also you can tell he learned.
Troy Taylor did the demo for Sweet Lady by Tyrese from his self-titled debut album released on September 29, 1998
SALUTE to Troy Taylor....his contributions in music are OFFICIAL!!! Shoutout to my guys from Jersey....Bub, Chief, Wes, and Love(TODAY)!
That “Can’t Be Friends” story is such a great moment in describing a trustful artist/producer relationship. Mario Winans needs to be on the podcast. What he did on Tamia’s debut album prod “Rain On Me” and “Never Gonna Let You Go” is pure r&b genius.
Oh wow to hear him mention Jeff Lorber i can relate as a producer. His albums are so well put together where every instrument is highlighted plus he's an amazing arranger & composer. BET Jazz used to be one of my favorite shows to watch on Sundays and there's an episode he's on.
Waithaka hapo 8:14 unajua shamari inamaanisha nini? Mi sijui! LOL
@@funkyfinebeautiful I think it’s a group
I turned away from Trey Songz because of the politics, it’s amazing to remember these AMAZING songs that I loooooove. That’s the big difference from the new school and old school. Their music back in the day could do what it did because we didn’t know what they were doing behind the scenes.
I think you guys should do a playlist for the podcast cuz I like going back listening to the songs with a full understanding of where it came from. It’s amazing
I agree. As a music lover I definitely listened back to Sweet Lady and can definitely hear the background vocals
Me too😊
J has a playlist on heart radio
HEAR ME OUT: for episodes 95 - 100, we need an NE EXTRAVAGANZA!
Episode 95 - Bobby Brown
Episode 96 - BBD

Episode 99 - Brooke Payne
Episode 100 - ALL 6 🎉
Yes!!! I agree
EPICALLY AGREE!!
My favorite comment ever! 100%!
GENIUS idea you got my vote 🗳️
If this were to happen, it'd be months between episodes just to coordinate lol
This interview was number one RICH in knowledge and number two reminded of the BANGERS Trey has....I had to go back and listen real quick! I also love the discipling that Troy demonstrates!
Thanks for listening
This has been LONGGGG overdue! Soooo ready for this one. He is one of the best storytellers ever And and amazing (vocal) producer and mentor to many!!!
Here in 2024 watching this episode and continuing to learn so much more than I knew that I could... R&B Money Podcast, my support is for life!! Thank you from your oldHER one here in Maryland!!
Great episode. Can y’all get Tim & Bob on here next
Yes!
Great suggestion!
I'm soooo late but, I finally got a chance to watch this in its entirety, at work today lol. Mannnnnnn, Troy Taylor was pivotal to my college party days in the early 2000s lol! I had no idea this man was responsible for Mr. Steal Your Girl, himself. His drive and commitment to artist development is A1. A legend without a doubt.
So thankful for Trey’s mom’s belief in Troy to do it solo and keeping as much peace as you could through thr record label sht. These records are CRAZY and time stamp pivotal points in my life.
Keep coloring Troy. It’s a blessing to receive your gifts 🙏🏼
Wonder Woman really was a wild record! That opening line “it’s a shame” was INSANE 🔥🔥🔥
The way he told his life story...I had no idea I sat here for 3 hours listening so intently! Another insightful and entertaining episode! ❤
That ready album was 🔥… I’m here for Troy Taylor, never heard of him before today!!!! 🙌🏽
Me too! But definitely know his work!
He’s on all of Treys credits and Trey mentions him in his songs at the end.
Mr Taylor has proven he can find the "diamonds in the rough" and nurture them into "diamonds in the sky." I love every RnB Money episode. The bricks, not nuggets, of information that come out of those episodes are phenomenal. The tambourine comes out when Tank sings, "I ain't saying no names."
Yes you definitely can. But unfortunately Nobody wants to do that anymore, you have to come already developed into a finished product in this era. Unfortunate, but it’s just the truth.
3 hour master class.
1000%
Ready was wild!!! I loved all the songs. I was single, and all the songs was hitting. But, Passion Pain and Pleasure was slept on!!!
Yessss including the interludes!! No skips!
LOVE THIS EPISODE!!! Soon as he said "can you feel me" I knew right away Kenny Lattimore! And Kenny did excellent on that!
Troy is absolutely amazing!!
To Tank and J thank you for giving us a podcast we never knew we needed 🔥🔥this interview was amazing giving a 🐐his flower while he can still smell them. honestly enjoyed this episodes, the 3 parts of ain't saying no names reminds me of Kosine episodes. much love all the way from SA🇿🇦
💯
Troy was that producer that I listened to and studied. When I got a chance to meet him I played him 100 tracks. He listened to all of them 😅. Mind blowing experience.
Say Ahh changed club culture.. “we don’t buy no drinks at the bar” was the catalyst for section & bottle service culture..
Love the addition of writer/producer to the Voltron segment. Needs to be added going forward!
Watching this all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 . This gentleman's contribution to the R&B universe is immeasurable, thank you Tank and J. Valentine for creating a space for such stories to be curated and documented.🙌
Easily top 5 episode. Wow.
Testimony of rushing and being anxious, still GOD can get you out no matter how deep that is
So we decided to pray and fast on it
And so much more. Hands down phenomenal episode
This episode was incredible. Troy has been an incredible mentor to many, myself included but moreso my brother who produced IN THE MIDDLE on Trey's 1st album. He always took the time to explain and teach the whys and the history of music. His collection of physical music (Cds and Vinyls) that he pulls from at a moments notice to really SHOW you is extensive. He taught us that the perfect notes are great but the FEELING and the PASSION is whats most important and what connects with the audience. He is forever a LEGEND and I'm grateful to have known and worked with him. Dope Episode #TTU
Troy Taylor one of the best producer/ vocalist /arranger/programmer..everything I've ever got the pleasure to work with....VA
Whew when troy said"god will put you in a space where u have no choice but to give it to him" MY god that is a word!!
What a wonderful episode @R&BMoneyPodcast. Truly a top notch producer/AD, interviewee. This flowed and it was a great watch. Troy is remarkable and behind some of the biggest records in r&b period. Worth every minute of my time today. See y’all next week 💸🫶🏾🥰
Thanks for the love always!!
I wish they would have talked about how they got the Queen Aretha Franklin on Trey first album
Loved the Trey Songz mixtapes!!
Amazing the formula Troy and Trey created to make get all these hits and songs to chart. I'm glad Atlantic continued to work his records over time.
I’m 25 but momz put me on all the good music . When I look back at all the r&b artist I gravitated towards i guess it was all thanks to Mr. Troy Taylor. So Thankyou & More Power to You for many more moons and life to come.
I gotta know who the hat thief is 😂
We can say R Kelly's name. We ain't gotta code it as "Mr Sir". Yes what he did was fucked up but i really hate that we have an R&B podcast and we talking in code when we talk about R kelly. His contribution to R&B is significant. I hear many R&B and gospel artists take from him in one way or another...especially thier vocal choices.
I thought that's who they were talking about. I KNEW IT!!!!!!! KELZ IS AN ICON
"allegedly"
Tellem!!
Exactly i agree
And this is one of the reasons why R. Kelly got away with what he did so long. It's okay that Troy DOESN'T want to say his name. R. Kelly is a predator. Who cares to boast about the contributions when he hurt women and children?
Johnta Austin Hood Love featuring Mary J Blige 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥
Did I really just listen to 3hrs of rnb money? Yes…yesssssssssss I did and it felt like just a few minutes and I enjoyed every minutes. I agree with the other comment, I’ve really love hearing the upbringing and stories of the people behind the artists. Wowwww, I love this podcast. This is actually the only pod I listen to. I love music, it’s educational, funny, a mini biopic, with awesome interviewers who give people space to speak, ask great questions and just an overall great vibe. Grateful for y’all!!!❤
A gAWD OF MUSIC IS WHO MR. TROY TAYLOR IS!!! I AM MOST THANKFUL FOR THE WORK HE DID ON THE QUEEN OF MUSIC WHITNEY HOUSTONS RENDITION OF "THE FIRST NOEL" I VIBE OUT TO THAT CHRISTmas CLASSIC YEAR ROUND!!! THANK Q MR. TROY TAYLOR!!!

THAT INTRODUCTION WAS WAS SERMONIC!!! U USHERED US TON THE PRESENCE OF THE lAWD TANK LOL #SALUTE
please forgive me if i have sinned by asking this but if im not mistaken is that BILL WITHERS portrait on lAWD TROY's t-shirt ????
Tank, I attended one of your shows a few years ago and you asked the crowd which song they wanted to hear. I was in the front yelling, 🗣️“Your One! Your One!” 💵 You looked at me like you weren’t expecting someone to ask you to sing that song. I guess you’re weren’t asking for album cuts. Lol 🤷🏽♀️ Definitely one of my favs. So very creative. ♥️
👌🏽👌🏽That's what WE * fans, fans,* be wanting to hear, Album Cuts! Not what we hear on the radio in nauseum NO!! We want cuts!
@@reanastallworth948 Exactly!! Lol
I’m only at the beginning of the episode but I have to stop and say I’m 33 years old and I LOVE the group Shomari. My mother used to play their album faithfully and I still sing those songs to this day!
R. Kelly wrote and sang the demos of Bump Bump Bump and Girlfriend by B2K
As well as What a Girl Wants right?
@@DesiLu4Life Yes
The man is a freaking LEGEND
Now this is how you Podcast/interview 🔥🔥🔥
Tank & J a big round of applause 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
You’re Masters of This!!!!!
The way it flows ! You’re a GIFT❤
The way I hollered at the wait wait in the middle of I ain’t saying no names I need this as the ringtone so I can think about answering knowing I’m not 😂

I knooooow!!!!!
I about to watch it again!
I am here for the longer videos .., it’s ALWAYS so good that you don’t want it to end 😂
As a product of the B2K era, I was completely shocked by the U Remind Me reference cuz HOW DIDNT I RECOGNIZE THAT 🤦🏾♀️
Me either
Yep me either and it definitely sounds the same when he did the melody!!!
Me toooooooo
Me neither
Most inspiring interview ever. Im blessed to have met him at a 3 day writing camp 🙏🏽Troy you’re one of the best to do it and you’re super humble !
Tell Tank .... Tankipedia is a good album title
Great one
R. Kelly interview is next, it's going to be amazing. 💯
I always thought Trey Songz sounded like a young Over the top R.Kelly but he came into his own vocally after while and has his own signature sound
Thank you both Tank and Troy for really acknowledging Beyoncé’s vocal ability. Her talent as a vocalist and technician is one of the best! The execution, the versatility, the delivery. Thank you because I feel like people forget
Now I need Mr. Steal Yo Girl on here 😭💗❤️
*STILL* a big fan of Trey Songz till this day!
I love Troy Taylor, and he's something wicked crazy in the music business
So much respect for my man!!!!
“Mr. Sir” = Robert Kelly 😭
Too many podcasts all over the world to get bored easily yet I can watch this one for days!!
For hours and hours on end
❤❤❤ all 3 hours were absolutely ah-mazing! So much knowledge & history. Troy’s biopic should be titled One Night Only. Troy Taylor you da 🐐
All the Trey talk gave me chills 😩😩😩😩
And Big Bubs (from Today) solo album (comin at cha) was lit.....
Facts 24/7 was fire I don't mind was fire plus his Zoom Cd Call me was fire
So glad my big bro is getting his flowers now! Congratulations Troy! Troy Taylor you da GOAT 🐐
I love episode like this because I get to see whose behind the songs that I ❤️ ‼️‼️
That "Can't Be Friends" by Trey Songs spoke to my soul. That is PRECISELY how I feel about my husband.
Be anxious for nothing , but in prayer and supplication make your request known to God. C’mon confirmation🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. YES!!!
I was literally bumping Trey Songz essentials on my commute ooooohhhhwheyyyyyyyyy 😘😘😘😘. I still remember where I was when I heard say aah! It was almost midnight, almost my birthday riding in the car with my sister in the drive thru of Jack in the box and she played it, and I lost my wholesome ish.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That is probably one of my most favorite scriptures of all time !!
This Interview is so Good I'm Excited to Rewatch and not even done with the first viewing. The Spirit of R&B is Strong on this one great stories, and Jewels Dropped. If They Bring Back a Song Writers Verzuz we need Troy on there Fasho
That’s wild!!!!! Ain’t nothing but God for you to get bought out of that slave contract.
This for sure one of the top R&b money episodes. Glad we can finally get a lil more background on Troy Taylor.
Another classic!!!! Y’all need to do a R&B money top 5 song list. Please….😬😀😊
Thank you Troy Taylor for introducing us to Trey Songz…I’ve been a fan since day 1. I love “Mr. Steal Your Girl” ❤️🔥
Legendary episode Troy wrote so many of my favorite songs
Wow his top 5 singers are insane!!
❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥OMG the writers and producers episodes have been straight fire. Wow I have learned sooo much. These people are straight fire and the GOD given GIFTs they each have and keep sharing your gifts and being a blessings!! Thank you R&B Money Podcast Tank & J. Valentine
I was one of the first producers signed to Songbook. My first contract was with The Characters. These stories took me back. The break up with Charles and Troy. Trey Songz being signed and dropped by The Characters. Then shopping Trey through Songbook to labels. It was a crazy time!!
For those who want to look the producer up for “I aint saying not names” look up the Aretha Franklin record 2:57:52
Good looking out...
Trey Day is a whole bop!!! I can't believe they didn't believe in it 😂 wonder woman is MY jam. Geesh.
Trey Day was probably the least best album. Everything else tho ...🔥
I wore Wonder Woman down bad. Every time my cousins hear it they be “yo you killed that song” 🔥🔥🔥
I’m still waiting on someone to say the the heart and passion of James Brown, when it comes to the R&B Voltron section. Also, I love that Mitchell Jones keeps getting his flowers!
One of my favorite producers interviewed by 2 of by favorite producers/writers😂 dopest shit in the world man💯
Appreciate this podcast so much , Thank you all!🙏🏽
This interview was dope. He blended the old RnB and the New RnB of my generation
We have to put this in the books! 😂😂🙏💪 when Mr. T said waiiittttt. I'm sorry but I love this R&B ishhhh
