If anything RnB Legends should create their own and honor their honor. Tank and J started the first steps. NAACP if your not part of the boule or a democratic shill they hate you. Plus black people don't even run it.

When Michael Jackson died, my niece was three years old. She entered the room and said, “Hey y’all, Michael Jackson died.” She saw the news on the TV in her room. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at each other because she wasn’t even born when MJ was touring and popping. Then, I was convinced that Michael Joseph Jackson would forever be the greatest of all time.
Forever because my 4 kids go crazy when I play the Thriller album, and even Off the Wall. We watch the videos too. The 3 year old lives for Human Nature.
My friends know not to interrupt me when The Valentine is on! Also, I really appreciate the love yall have for each other. I never get tired of J facials when Tank plays Top5. 😂
Thank you, Mad Skillz, for explaining the Michael Jackson effect so well. I witnessed the energy and fainting live on several occasions. No one like him. The world 🌎 was shook when he passed. King of R&B, Pop and any other genre he touched. #1
If you are watching or listening to this and DON’T SEE or HEAR GOD’s hands all over this man’s journey….YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN!! From his Zacchaeus moment in the tree…to a “random” walk up in a parking lot…”hearing something” to tell the TRUTH about not having a deal…ONLY God!! Art and MUSIC are only sourced and created by one true God. MY GOODNESS!!!! Okay…back to watching…🙌🏾❤️🔥
I love all your comments you post on this channel, I can tell we think alike 🙌🏾 everything good comes from God truly and this podcast shows that consistently, whether people realize it or not
Sound of Blackness - Optimistic …. Mannnnn I remember my dad playing this every morning before dropping me off to school. Really set the tone for my day! 🙌🏾🔥
It was very refreshing to hear a ghost writer who tried his hand to be in front of the mic explain the 2 sides of how an artist can, should and do use a ghostwriter. One talent to a great storyteller is HOW they tell the story. The artist is the HOW. ❤
Skillz always been Passionate about this music thing…. Always an inspiration… glad to say i been in the Legendary Kenndedy Talent shows he talked about with D’angelo and Harold and his group at the time… spent plenty of times in my Donland crew studio just watching him work or shooting the shit.. like he said Missy say.. He dont forget nothing… his knowledge about our era in music is insane… always knew his journey but it never gets old hearing it over and over again… this Damion incase he in these comments 🤟🏾💯
@GStreat The fun of the segment is in the not knowing! I just found it interesting how much people like freedom until it interrupts their personal economy and the lengths they will go to stop someone else's creativity.
@@GStreatguessing Musiq, who has always wanted to be a rapper. Eventually he did a rap album under the alter ego The Husel. The story probably was around the time “Love” came out
Mad Skillz, Love him RVA, I remember auditioning for Teddy Riley -Future Entertainment Talent shows in Va Beach! I was at VCU when he was working in the parking deck! So proud of him! RVA Love!! 🎼❤
Mad Skillz is a beast...If the world only know all the ghost writing he has done... Please keep these interviews coming, you all can't miss ..R&B Money is the Truth.
❤❤ Mad Skillz❤❤ so many producers/song writers out there you never even know about who's behind the songs 🎵!! Another great interview !! R & B Money 💰 Podcast definitely be educating us fans 🙌❤️🙌
MAD SKILLS with these little known facts about some of the lyrics we've been listening to for 30 years shows how studied this guy is, a great listener in addition to being a great writer. ❤
2 up, 2 down! Skillz was our first mainstream rapper, and always repped VA. It was so dope to hear about his connections to my hometown heroes. His impression of Magoo was so on point, and made me miss him even more. . Thank you for this episode, made me even more proud to be from the magical land of VA. ♥
@@LeedershipLabzI didn't even catch that little tidbit! I was sitting here trying to recall if Maxwell was out then...or Mario...or Ne•Yo? But your very astute observation has now made me drop Ne•Yo. He was born here in Arkansas and then moved to Vegas at age 8 if I remember correctly. I just put Breezy in his place. That YO! was my ish back then! Fellow friends of the 'Pod, has there been an episode yet where Tank & The Valentine hear the IASNN story & know who their Guest is speaking of?
The craziest thing... Optimistic popped in my head a few days ago, and would not leave until I streamed it. And then I watch this episode and Optimistic makes the top 5!
Every bit of his story takes me back to being 15, 16, 17 in Virginia Beach and being at all the stuff he talked about....Teddy was VERY present at our High School, Princess Anne, during that time...was at the Michael Jackson studio sighting right by the school....remember seeing Lil Kim and Missy on the beach walking the strip..my grandma lived next to No Malice and we got to see them all the time....my dad got to see Pharrell when he was very young playing drums being friends with his dad ...it was poppin' at that time....now it's a family area....this is so nostalgic!!!! We still outchea...come thru.... there's still SO much talent out here!!
Blige, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Arlene DeValle, and Jean-Claude Olivier wrote Mary Js Be Happy...and those first lyrics hit so different now when you go thru some stuff...love this interview
Phenomenal episode! Shout out to Tank, J.V. & Skillz for this one. I've yet to tire from hearing his industry stories, and hearing him mention 804 hometown staples, areas, events, homies, and sentiments encountered throughout the years even while he was rockin' in the 757, and the many other places his career has taken him, is just dope. Much respect, as always. ~Yah
This was an incredible Episode It was really Delightful and as the saying goes never judge a book by its cover. Madd Skillz has contributed to R&B massively, who knew he is R&B royalty as well as a gifted Rapper and writer. R&b money podcast surprised music fans by uncovering this artist as a well rounded contributor to the craft and J. Valentine let them know. This has to be one the best episodes up to date and his I ain't saying know names was storytelling at his best. Tank singing Top five is just wonderful and joyous. Gee what will this guys have for us on Wednesday. who knows but today was spent laughing getting info and being surprise, this is highly recommended viewing🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
I love this interview wit skills alot of people don't realize how a talented writer he is and a bad man of rap he could shut these young rapper down they can't match his skills.
D'Angelo 3 albums are still in rotation. As a musician and a fan of R&B music these 3 albums are classics they are ridiculous top to bottom perfect!!! 🤦🏾🔥🔥🔥❤️
My brothas. Ezccccelllent. Interview. Mad respect to skillz. I have always heard his name bumping around. (I'm a la bru) he speaks facts. I was at the Virginia state homecoming in 1993. My homei was there at the time Performers were the group Intro. Tribe called quest and another I forget . We went to the club one night. No lie biggie was in the little packed club performing party and bullshit from who's the man soundtrack. Nobody was really paying attention. I was because I had bought the " whos the man"cd soundtrack. Mad skillz brought me back to a time. (We the same age 53) Big big salute to yall
This by far was one of my favorites. It was great to hear a LOT of stories from Mario with humor, seriousness and pain that has stood the test of times time. BMore stood UP!!
Tank & J…I really appreciate you two for bringing Mad Skillz here to represent V-A! I live in Virginia & this episode had me at every word. The stories were crazy & y’all had me laughing along with you on “I ain’t saying no names.” Thanks for keeping me smiling! ❤this podcast!!
That's true about London, my neice performed there at a small club. Her show not only sold out but at the time she was wearing big curly hair. Her male and female fans came in with curly hair in different colors and knew every word to her songs.
Skillz: "...cuz i'm a writer." J.: "For yourself and others..." // Old Man from Coming to America: "...ah hahhh....ah hahhh..." LOL | because in my mind, i've always wondered if Skillz wrote anything for Jay-Z. i'm a Skillz fan. his cadence and slick talk is legendary.
For him to be a rapper...this was the best Top 5 segments cause he had explanations for all of them, and he was prepared. Everyone says I watch yall but seemed caught off guard by the question. Dopeness episode fellas!

Can we start a campaign to submit this podcast for the 2025 NAACP Awards? This show is too important to the culture! 🙌🏽
No brainer. Only competition may be Club Shay Shay.
If anything RnB Legends should create their own and honor their honor. Tank and J started the first steps. NAACP if your not part of the boule or a democratic shill they hate you. Plus black people don't even run it.
Period. Submissions open in August and these guys absolutely deserve a nomination, campaign, or vote!!

The way I smile from ear to ear when anyone mentions Stokley or Joe😍😍
Yeeees!
He is sooooooooo right about OPTIMISTIC!
Still playing that in 2024!...
🗣🔥🗣
2nd notion that
The Pressure “reprise version “ is 🔥too
"I tried to be in front of the camera, and that got me back at the parking deck." He😢 started paying attention. I am glad I watched this! R&B history!
Him mentioning Nights Over Egypt by the Jones Girls was everything 🔥
The fact that Skillz doesn’t share who he has written for is #Crazy That’s the type of person you want in your corner. GREAT EPISODE!
That part about WanMor is absolutely correct. We should be supporting them more as a community.
🙌🏿
💯💯💯💯💯
I don’t think optimistic gets the recognition it deserves. Classic. It gets you in a good mood every time you hear it.
Let's go Skillz! 804 to 757 stand up!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
He's Family

Real talk!
That 2Up 2Down !

Okay! ❤
This interview could’ve did another hour and I would be still tuned in… great stories and gems this episode

I almost didn’t watch. I’m soooo glad I did. Even told my son to watch. Demanded actually.

I love the story telling with the Top 5 songs
Skillz needs to write a book... he has seen so much in real time... and his energy, we need a book 😅

Lol me too ! His episode was amazing!
Tank’s Top 5 song takes J to church e-ve-ry time…pride, respect and pure heart…love it!
Optimistic got me through some tough times….hands down a great song
His answers to the questions of artists and songs were all from a place of feeling outside of skill. I love it!
Yeah❗️One of the Top 10 Interviews (opinion)
MJB "Be Happy" was written by the Queen, P-diddy, Arlene Devalle and Jean Claude Olivier.
Great sit down Kings!! Another great legendary artist!🫡👑
Yet another great episode! Mad Skillz came with it… that man shoal know some music!!! Loved it! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thanks RB Money! ❤

I think his “I Ain’t Sayin’ No Names” is Musiq Soulchild.😂
😂😂
I think it's Trey 😂
I was thinking Trey Songz but wish we knew the real artist!
This makes sense actually
I think Trey Songz, when they said you from VA i thought you was folks is what did it for me
