Yeah i can see the difference with my kids... my son hasn't brought me to court yet at all lol but I swear my mom took me to court every other month🤦🏿♂️
I grew up in South Central in the 80s and if you take nothing else from what Montell is talking about know this: without black fathers the African-American community and culture will go extinct. Unlike Montell my father was not present and I joined the crips but left by the time I became an adult. Later I went to college and now have a good life. I made it without my father and know that my journey is rare.
I had a similar up bringing in the church. I grew up in the hood but the hood wasn't in me. That's not to say I was a punk because I had hands but I had a strong foundation and I knew right from wrong and what lines not to cross. A lot of my friends didn't have that. A number of them were killed or went to prison. Another thing. I was more scared of my 4"11 mom then any nigga in the streets. Lol
I found that out when I was in the Army back in the 90's. Every catt I knew from the Army to there cousins in the streets came from 2 parent homes that was blood or crips or midwest folks
I’m from Chicago and grew up in a 2 parent household as well I think my generation I’m 50 was the last generation just before the crack epidemic and some of his experiences mirror, mind where there was a separation of if you were affiliated or from the streets, there was a separation if you were a athlete or a PK kid you kind of got a pass that doesn’t exist anymore sadly
Montell, I grew in church with Fred Hammond and other members of Commissioned, Byron Cage and others in Detroit. The musicians (Lee Davis, jazz musician Jacques Lesure and others) used to slip in secular music like Parliament Funkadelic, Prince, Stevie, James Brown, all the time at church. The young people loved it LOL.
I been telling niggaz “ This is how we do it” is a song that white ppl love. It turns they party upside down. Got older , listened to the lyrics ..Montell Jordan was on some hood Shyt😂😂
"All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by". You're right, here in the UK white people love that song. Probably ever since Ali G used it for the end credits of his movie. Everyone loves that movie here lol
I here you Montell, I didn't have peer pressure...I had parent pressure. My mom and dad didn't play so not doing bad things that other kids did was easy for me and after while my friends knew it and it was cool after that.
Montell played the piano at our church Carver Missionary Baptist Church on 51st & Hoover Rev Richard Stubbs RIP I remember him and his two younger sister and his mother Ann Jordan when I was a kid there before the fame damn
Some of the same folks who down people for listening to secular music are the same ones who fall short of God's grace also,they go to church in the daytime and party at night time. If you love music then most of not some music you will listen to.
Can you imagine if Montell had crips in his "Something For The Honeys" music video? It would've had Tha Dogg Pound, Eazy-E's camp & the Crips going at each other!
I bet this man has stories for days about his life and the music industry and thank God he didn't join a gang and was in church with his family and friends and like he said he had a strict father that kept him in line. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
He is so spot on about the 80’s how you could be black and be influenced by the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Phill Collins and on the other end Be influenced by Michael and Prince or Run-Dmc.
Maaaan, the brotha said he was in church ALLLL day every day, so HELL naahh he didn't know who Rick Ross was!! Shiiiiiii, Montel did you play any sports at van Ness park ?? Did you go to 59th after school program with Grandma?
He is right.. you can't mix secular music, with music you play in a 'Church'.. the book itself tells us such. What fellowship does, Light have with Darkness..
Change the headline! It’s disrespectful to Jordan and his family. It implies that Jordan was a troubled young man in the streets and he wasn’t. Doing things just for clicks is extremely LOW CLASS.
He was more afraid of his father than of ANY CRIP SET...Thats how its SUPPOSED TO BE..salute Mr. Jordan
This is a great example on y black father's need to be in the households and in their kids life
💯
Yeah i can see the difference with my kids... my son hasn't brought me to court yet at all lol but I swear my mom took me to court every other month🤦🏿♂️
And God for that matter
So true
@@blindsight3690 🎉
He had a father growing up, and went to church. It shows. More inner city communities need this
There's nothing like an anointed church musician. Great interview. A healthy church is a great place to grow up in.

Very great story being in a high poverty high crime area’s is not easy especially having one life to live.
Congrats bro, did other members in your set have dads? Or did everyone come from a single mother household?
I had a similar up bringing in the church. I grew up in the hood but the hood wasn't in me.

Is your paperwork right & dats good u beat da odds most cant
It all makes sense now. "To all my neighbors, you got much flavor"😄♿️
😂🤣😂🤣 you silly, that's a good one 👍💯
NAYBAHOOD 😂😂
😂😂😂I Think you are about that one
😂😂😂
💡
If this keeps up this could be one of the best interviews this year. It’s very refreshing so far
💯💯💯
Like fresh air
Montell Jordan is talented. A true musician
Maan what this brother said about Stevie, God, and church is so deep!
The crazy part is a lot of the founding gang members of different crips and blood sets in LA came from two parent homes....
💯 spoiled too … in the 60’s
I found that out when I was in the Army back in the 90's. Every catt I knew from the Army to there cousins in the streets came from 2 parent homes that was blood or crips or midwest folks

@@donxaba73 We from the same era Bru and you correct
Idle time.
I’ve listened to a lot of this dudes music & never new his story! This was a dope interview
"Let's Ride" is such a dope ass song.
It was the shit when I was in 6th grade. “So I sit back and put a $50 in my mouth”
Bout it bout it Master p and Silk
Perfect song that came out at a perfect time 💯
I represent….I’m bout it bout it…silk bout it bout it montell is bout it bout it
Facts
Montell a real one for acknowledging the lesser known (albeit legendary in his four album GOAT spree) Stevie Wonder album🔥🔥🔥
Love when artists appreciate those who came before them. Really love when people geek out about music. This is a great interview!
2 finger 60 handshake is the neighborhood shake
This heating up !!! This interview is making you feel at home if that means anything
I literally said “visions” would be his favorite song before he said it.😁💪🏿🙏🏿 It’s the undeniable song on that album.
Watch the full interview now as a VladTV RUclips Member: ruclips.net/channel/UCg7lal8IC-xPyKfgH4rdUcAjoin
Damn, is this Montell's first appearance on VLAD TV?
This is cool, VLAD!
Bruh… to hear him just break out in song and melody in perfect ass tone like this is blowing me away how easy this comes to him.
I lived in South Central L.A. all thru the 80’s and I’m still here 2022 going into 2023
That’s what’s up😊
The reason R&B is dead is because singers aren't raised in the church anymore...some of the best singers started in church
Yep now it’s not strong anymore like back then
Sheeesh man that’s a fact!
My exact thought
Yep. K-Ci and Jo Jo perfect example
So true

I always knew what he was getting at when he said "to all my naybaz you got much flava"... Look where he grew up lol
Right tho!! I ain't even peep☝🏾🖐🏾 6 minutes 0 Seconds
This is how we do it on the radio right now!
I’m slumping it right now … riding around loaded through up the set
Someday i want to be at a party so fun that all the gang bangers forget about the drive by.
wow. That line hits different after hearing his story.
Montel jordan has the best genes damn the man still look the same from the 90s
Not Montell singing one of my favorite Stevie songs… mana almost made me cry at work 😂😂😂
I been telling niggaz “ This is how we do it” is a song that white ppl love. It turns they party upside down. Got older , listened to the lyrics ..Montell Jordan was on some hood Shyt😂😂
Right! That song is for everybody but when you understand the lyrics, you realize he was connected like WiFi
“To all my Neighbors you got much flava” he laid it out.
"All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by". You're right, here in the UK white people love that song. Probably ever since Ali G used it for the end credits of his movie. Everyone loves that movie here lol
@@RicoBrazilConate ✌🏾👍🏾
I actually seen him in concert in my hometown along with coolio a few months ago up front vip he’s amazing in concert
I totally understand everything he said about the church! Lol even slipping a little Prince in there while on the organ!
I love this. I grew up in the hood too and they protected me cuz I was a church kid.
An interesting person. Enjoying learning more about him through this interview.
@ Charmaine D I feel like you a cousin at this point I see you every where on YT 😅
@@garcel1251 😂😂😂 yeah, I guess I do get around on RUclips lol
Shout out to all the black fathers, we never get appreciated
That’s not true.
Someone recognizes your hard work.
Keep it up!
you are appreciate bro! God appreciate you thats all that matter!
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾💯
And u shouldn't be given a shout out. It's a responsibility.
@@DialloMoore503 yeah it is,not Dad the father that there for their Kids
I love a great Dad story. This is one of the best. I had to get up and do some jumping Jack's then come back to the video.
This is how we do it was such a huge track. I still love that track
Like me with my Pops 🤣🤣😂😂 my Old man would've killed me if I even thought about joining a Damn gang
It great to hear how a young talented black man can grow and mature middle-aged man with wisdom.
This guy Montell Jordan is a GENIUS 💯💯
I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Montell. Super nice guy and most definitely a real one. Legend 🫡
This man a real legend
I respect this man! You don't have to be involved just to be cool. With anything unhealthy.
This is How we Do it.
This is how we do it. It's Friday night and I feel alright
Montell Jordan is a living legend.
To think of it. That song is what influenced me to get a guitar!
When you give your children love and discipline they might actually turn out as decent human beings. Who would have thought.
Coming from an LA native im rocking wit it!
Montell has real talent his a human instrument 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This man LITERALLY got his gift from GOD!!!
Facts
I walked in to X-fest Modesto in 2010's and when I walked in this guy was the first I saw right when I walked in. DAMN he tall at least 6'6
And all they said was 6'8" he stood, he said this is this is how we do it.
I here you Montell, I didn't have peer pressure...I had parent pressure. My mom and dad didn't play so not doing bad things that other kids did was easy for me and after while my friends knew it and it was cool after that.
This is a great interview
we need more detailed musical interviews Prez !!!!!
I thought I clicked on the wrong interview for a sec I thought bro was Mystikal first look
Loving this entire conversation with MT also getting Prince and MJ in the music as a secret code ...I'm sure God was smiling? I know I am!!
Montell played the piano at our church Carver Missionary Baptist Church on 51st & Hoover Rev Richard Stubbs RIP I remember him and his two younger sister and his mother Ann Jordan when I was a kid there before the fame damn
Take Em To Church Pastor MONTELL!!!!!!
That Stevie Wonder song was sampled in Ginuwine's Ill Do Anything/I'm Sorry
Who is the interviewer?? Please keep him on, he was having just as good of a time w/Montell. I enjoyed how he talked with Montell better than Vlad.
If they let you shake hands with the 2 fingers ….you were excepted
Dope segment.🔥🔥🔥
I love this!!!!!!
Awesome interview 💯
Man this a smart brother.
The song is called "visions"
This guy looks great for his age
i just looked his age up, nearly 54! he looks a lot younger
Some of the same folks who down people for listening to secular music are the same ones who fall short of God's grace also,they go to church in the daytime and party at night time. If you love music then most of not some music you will listen to.
Vocals on point
He's from the 50s out the Hoovers his mom or his grandmother live over there to this day
I thought where he said sounded like the 40s
He said he was from 4th Ave and Slauson. That's 60's hood.
@@Jlist83 I didn't hear the slauson part
@@Jlist83 yup he sure did say that
lolz at his shirt
👏🏾👏🏾NUPE!👌🏾
Just because it’s around doesn’t mean you have to.
Dope ❤
Can you imagine if Montell had crips in his "Something For The Honeys" music video?
It would've had Tha Dogg Pound, Eazy-E's camp & the Crips going at each other!
If you know, you know😂
Ain’t even peep that he got the piece on his arm. YO to the Good Nupes ♦️
THISSS IS HOWW WE CRIPPINN!! DUNN DUNN DUNN!! DUNN! DUNN DUNN!!
🤤 Montell Jordan was my fav when I was a kid. 😔🤦🏾♀️ Then he hasn't aged period!! 🤯
I bet this man has stories for days about his life and the music industry and thank God he didn't join a gang and was in church with his family and friends and like he said he had a strict father that kept him in line.

Very Intellectual MAN
I understand exactly where bro is coming from regarding music and being close to the gang life but not being in it.
Ice Cube is another example
Montell looks like the big goofy nerd who could throw hands😅
It seems like he is 7ft 🙂
@@atshabal Yeah he does🤣
6’8
😂😂😂😂
ALL MUSIC HAS GOD IN IT, NOT JUST GOSPEL MUSIC!!!
You gotta point out to me where God is in WAP and Nut Quick real quick. (Only if you consider that as music 😂)
@@dn30001 ALL IS GOD
@@selftalkwithsal4229 you didnt answer my question but ok!
I disagree with you on that. All music has spirituality...yes. but is it good spirit or evil spirit?

Rumor has it Stevie ain't blind idk
When you can sing great your music will stand the test of time like the statue of liberty.

Dude almost sounded like R Kelly when singing 🤔🤔
Shawn Perez is officially conducting better interviews than Vlad.
I think he's from the same hood as Tyrin...52 Hoover
Gotta love being black. If you take care of yourself and don't abuse substances. You'll possibly have a good 70 years before you start cracking 😅🥴
Damn
I actually started corner poccet in my mommas garage
Nigga this ain't kev mac videos😂
Bro did the hood shake too? RMAO
Change the headline!
