Omg!!!! Yessss
That ray j was goated 🤣
oath lol! That DMX lol
Mona part was on point to 😂
Hahahaha
J Valentine…if you see this, it’s very refreshing to see that you haven’t tried any drugs. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 stay safe. Stay positive. Stay blessed. ❤️
That's why he look so good..damn❤
@@morulanemooka6457 Thug-a-licious is what J Valentine is!
@@marylewis4320 that's my man babe, I'm watching you👀🤣🤣🤣❣️
@@morulanemooka6457 I love his swag and he's fine, BUT not as fine as my husband! LOL
I was/am thoroughly impressed as well.
HE TELLING THIS STORY LIKE HE REALLY WAITED ALL HIS LIFE TO GET THIS OUT … I LOVE IT AND HAPPY FOR HIM
Wish more artists would be this way
Hes told it before tho but it never gets old
Hitmaka that guy production wise good podcast
Yep, he couldn't wait. Loved it!
He could NOT wait 😂
The way you guys guide the conversation but you don’t interrupt and you let the guests talk is great… A lot of podcasts could take notes from y’all!!! Great podcast 🫡
K777
💯💯💯I really appreciate that as a listener
I totally agree
Lmaooo direct shot at drink champs..mad or naw...everybody got they distinctive shyt...some people jump around some move straight forward...it is what it is.
absolutely tired of mfs asking a question and immediately interrupting mid answer. I get mad for the person being interviewed.
Cool that he’s honest with his spoon fed beginnings. Too many in the business want to act like they came from poverty
Facts!
Facts! I was shocked !
I truly agree, at least he is being honest about where he came from. Then I like that he rap about what he knows he actually sold the drugs, been out on the streets. That is why I can't get down with Drake, and these other so called rappers today unless they are J cole and Kendrick Lamar.
@@lateshiachilds3640drake says in multiple songs that he was born far from the streets
He also had a brief stint in the miltary too.
J. Valentine is a grown ass man! And I’m loving his vibe!
And he just fine.
fine fine came. like been missing him. spirit wise too.. good energy
Facts, he ain't with no foolishness
Everything about the man..phew!
Very proud that he hasn't done any drugs considering he's in the industry
He told his business & EVERYBODY else's 🗣 AND named names 😂 ANNND gave us impersonations/impressions 😅
Ray J needs to come here.. I need the stories. What a dope life story for hitmaka
No Ray J, please no Ray J!!!
@@jeffreycooper6789 yummy
Ny
I’m
Yummy
Mm
My
Unhungry
N
Hni
Ray j ?? No lol
& we need ray j with the inside pool out side pool energy lol
HitMaka can tell a story. I love how thorough he is and y’all allowed him to speak for us to get the full picture! Keep this energy! Y’all are the best! 🖤
A great story teller!
I'm in here like dayuuuuuuuuummmmmmmm tell me more
30:40 Can we just appreciate how ACCURATE Berg's "Ray J" Impression is?! 😮
Yoooooooooo lol
Big facts my boi
And his DMX wasn't bad either.
It’s so good 🤣
@@damewash His DMX was even better on Drink Champs
Next guest should be JOE, yes JOE THOMAS! PODCAST is 🔥🔥
HitMaker is most definitely talking about Puff Daddy aka Diddy!😁🤣
YESSSSSSSSTHE UNDISPUTED GENTLEMAN OF R&B JOE!!!
Yes!!!
Yes Joe. He is so underrated.
@@jenniferjones2153 by who? he is known as one of the best male vocalist.
Tank and J, I feel that ya’ll struck gold with this podcast. It’s needed. Blessings to ya’ll. Another great interview.
Especially since the “ARE & BE” podcast w/ R&B artists is no longer a thing. 😢
His Ray J impersonation is spot on. It’s like dude is in the room with them. Lol!
I love this podcast! I would love some R&B ladies too...Faith Evans, Kelly Price, Fantasia, Ari Lennox, Tamia, Ledisi, Marsha Ambrosius, Brandy, Monica
And some of the guys Eric Bellinger, Ty$, Jeremih, PnB rock
Ooh yes the ladies!
Monica for sure!!!
Bryan Michael Cox and johnta Austin would be insane especially to talk about the business
👊🏽
For sure
DALLAS AUSTIN is what they need on here !!! Lol Stop playing
Those episodes would have to be in several parts!
@@WindyCityDoorDash Dallas is their OG so it’s all in the same vein.
This man has created his own lane, been through much, and was around straight legends since day 1 musically. Now he is a legend, and the Chi is proud. Give Hitmaka his flowers.
Fire ass episode 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
@stryfetc1 No he's not. He from Chicago
He was probably born in the Chi but he LA all day.
💯💯💯
Once again, an amazing show. Definitely would love to see Ginuwine, Mario, and Carl Thomas would be dope too
I agree with all that yes
I want to see Babyface
@@simonkalibwani5832 that would be awesome as hell
definitely carl thomas..........
Those would be great. I would love to see CB and Usher, Mya, Brandy
Hitmaka/Yung Berg got HELLA stories!! Every time I watch him in an interview, I learn at LEAST 5-6 new things about a song/person/situation that I may have thought we already knew all the pertinent details about.... Then he come give ALL the back story! Lol ... He should really write a book! I'm ready to out in for the pre-sale RIGHT NOW! 😁
He needs a 6-part Netflix series where he's narrating everything!
@@sha1841 Lol... FACTS!
His story is a unique one, but the main thing I took away from it was no matter how many L’s he took he never stop working. To truly be the goat 🐐 or be a legend you have to do the work. I’m glad he never gave up, he’s an amazing producer. This interview really made me look at him differently 🖤 he def is a legend 🙏🏽✨
As an Educator of 22 years, I’m here for the curriculum talk! All facts! Thanks, J. Valentine! I even clipped it and showed it during a training for teachers today! You guys are really on to something! I can’t wait for the next episode!
This interview was FIRE!!!! Hitmaka went through a lot of shit, and he deserves his flowers.
Man, these stories are wild af!! I love how Hitmaka started from money but CHOSE to work hard to get the career he desired. So humble! ❤
I have mad respect for him! I love ❤️ the hustle!
The culture needs this!!
US tell our OWN stories!!!!
HITMAKA and Eric Bellinger be tearing isht up
Man y’all 3 for 3, this show is unexpectedly amazing. I’m intrigued to know who is coming up next.
Not gonna lie, this is becoming one of my favorite shows, tank has personality! Can I get a ooooooooh yeeaaaa!
Oooooooooh yeeeeeaaaa
I'm SCREAMING at "oooooohh yeaaaa"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love the comment section so much
Rico Love would be an amazing guest!!
💯
Yall sleep.. These two deep in the game. We don't have to request no one for the next 30 episodes cause they gone have errrbody on here! And their great interviewers. Jamie's was the best one thus far
Another legend, what I have learned from this podcast is that these guests didn't have the easy walk into this game. We see and hear these famous folk and just the beginning result to the introduction into the game but these artists are real just like you and me. And if not for podcasts like this we would only know the glossy version not the black and white one. I have watched many a podcast but this is the first one that has me wanting to hear and see more about each episode and the guests they interview so Well Done Tank and J. Valentine. I realize that they are just like us only that one introduction or being at the right place at the right time changed their lives forever. I am legitimately happy for each guest and Tank and J. Valentine.
His voice impressions are on point from dmx to ray j
Babyyyy, we don't even need "I aint saying no names" wit Hit! He got so much tea 🍵 😆 🤣
I would buy his audible book! It must be audible cause he tells a great story.
I come here for the I Ain't Saying No Names segment of the interview 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow... I have so much more respect for Young Berg/ HitMaka. 'The Business' is still one of my favorite songs! I was 8 singing that bop! Hearing his story is crazy.
I know this podcast is only 3 episodes in, but, I must say this is one ☝🏾 of the dopest episodes ever. Believe you me this WILL have millions of views. There is so much to him that I had NO idea. Great storyteller & great stories. I have a different respect for Hitmaker. Definitely a TRUE LEGEND. I give you your flowers 💐 now. I had no idea but I’m glad I know now. Thank you for clarifying things. It all makes sense now. Put some RESPECK on his mf name. SALUTE 🤴🏾👑
Wow, thank you!
39:49 I literally stopped the video and went back to watch sexy can I😂😭😭😂👑
Me too
Same lol
I'm loving this more than drink champs I'm getting to know the artist more , more Knowledge and amazing guest like friends chilling and we just aprt of conversation aswell like I'm in uk England and I feel like I'm in the States with u guys love it
I know right Drink Champs is too loud and annoying and it's like Nore can't keep up and keep asking "repeat that". No wonder his conversations is 2 to 3 hours.
Drink Champs is beer. This is wine with an occasional shot of something-something.
His impersonations are EVERYTHING 😂😂😂
This dude is a literal industry baby!! The name dropping of execs and insiders of the music industry he's been so matter of fact!!
Manz is a dope storyteller foreal foreal …it’s like I’m watching a movie 🎥…
That part...
I have more respect for HitMaker , This podcast was very interesting he gave great history on his situation it really was intriguing to hear everything he has been through and his whole process, & he seems like a cool guy and Tank & J valentine really listen and have respect where it was due . This podcast is amazing
Me and Berg went to high school together and he ain’t telling one lie
J Valentine is me! “I come from the drug dealers” 😂😂😂😂
The Mona impression made me scream so loud 😭😭😭😭
🤣
He dropped so many names already that he didn’t even need to play the game at the end. The entire episode was funny, f* up, triumphant and at times unbelievable. I was so intrigued and learned so much that I was sitting here googling every name, every place and revisiting every song and video. He took us on a roller coaster ride. Mad respect for this man. He proves that this industry is definitely not for the faint of heart. God bless and continued success🙏🏾.
Let's get Eddie Levert on here Tank. You know the Gerald Levert stories crazy. Even Keith Sweat would be nice. Real R&B
Yes we gotta hear the story of the legend
Yup this right here is needed.
or Ronald Isley
It’s a new podcast we need trendy new artist and high profile artist first
@@jayarcher6784 Gerald Levert is on the R&B Mount Rushmore along with R Kelly. Stop playing. This podcast ain't about trendy, it's about those who have the Resume and credentials. With a Eddie Levert interview your gonna get not only the legacy of Eddie but Gerald and Sean stories as well. You can't lose. Really anything pre 2007 is cool with me. Jahiem, Sir Charles Jones, Charlie Wilson, Dave Hollister, Case, Donell Jones, Dwele, El Debarge, Avant Eric Benet, Kelly Price, Keith Washington, Kenny Latimore, Ruff Endz, Maxwell, Aaron Hall. Cmon man these are the artists you can let your top back and cruise too. The ones that have them panties hanging on your rear veiw.
NO CAP I WASNT EXPECTING THIS TO BE AS GOOD AS IT WAS! HIT MAKA DEFINITELY DESERVES HIS CURRENT SUCCESS…AND I THINK HIS STORY WAS ABOUT PUFF LMAO
OMG THE PART ABOUT PITBULL HAD ME ON THE FLOORRR!!😆😂😂😂
I ain't saying no names is hands down the best segment in podcasting!!
Loving this podcast! As a fellow R&B connoisseur, I would love to see: Joe, Rodney 'Darkchild' Jenkins and Ron Isley.
I was not prepared for any of the turns taken HitMaka’s life story 😳😳😳
Y'all have got to get Brian McKnight and Glenn Lewis!
Glenn Lewis super slept on. He raw tho
Good choices!👌🏿🙏🏿
Facts
Why 🤦🏾♂️
@@SW33T_Dr34M because they’re never interviewed and they most likely have behind the scene stories.
Hitmaka needs a pod or doc because dude is hella funny and lives life different
Faith evans, avant, ginuwine, usher, music, Rico love, trey songs, Kelly Rowland, John legend, teyana Taylor, fantasia (just to name a few 🙌🏾)
This guy is so intelligent in business and music....and he still young. Amazing
I love J Valentine and his aura! As Cancers are so coachable, not humble. We could care less about how you feel about us, especially when it comes to our money. We will sit on all the money we earned, buy statement pieces, keep our circle small (help the people in that circle win) and bless anyone to a toxic fault. Just good energy he has! Oh and Tank, also! 😊
I respect Berg sooo much . He really BEEN THAT 💯
Ooh wee he can tell a story. I bet he is hilarious 😂 at a party. He has LIVED if nothing else.
That chain should be in the Hall of Fame 🥶☔️
Bro Youngberg/Hitmaka been doing it for a long time and to think he came from money but grinded out to be where he at through e ups and downs and he still doing it big mann shit ain’t no excuses bruh
“Yo shorty, I don’t understand wtf you saying.” 😂😂😂
I never knew hitmaka came from a Rich Family this was a good interview Hitmaka went through alot more than most ppl knew love this podcast. Let's get Avant on here his story needs to be told very underrated R&B artist
When Berg did Mona Scott voice I lost it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He fully gave us the imagery that those folks on the show are in captivity lolol
I'm AMAZED by his story! Blown AWAY!
Ok I'm not one for podcasts but let me tell you "This podcast is everything the entertainment world has been needing!"
oh for sure!
Loved hearing J VALENTINE Not Being INFLUENCED to DO DRUGS and THE DROPPING OF INSPIRATION J V Dropped to DON'T STOP DOING MUSIC...YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT HOW TO APPROACH IT DIFFERENTLY...AT YOUR OWN TIME! TANK N J VALENTINE HAS A HIT with R&B MONEY‼️‼️ I REALLY AM LOOKING FORWARD to WATCHING MORE INTERVIEWS‼️🙏🏽💪🏽🤩💥💥💥.

“And den from dere….” He said that so many times I cracked up every time 😂😂 great interview tho. I’ve always loved hearing his journey and every interview he gives a new story and I love it! 👏🏾👏🏾💙

You know a cat can sing when the wardrobe of choice is an orange velvet collar shirt.
His voice impressions cracked me up lol
They are actually SPOT ON! Very interesting, there is another TALENT there....
J. Valentine is a man of the people & I love it lol Very relatable and laid-back my type of people right there ✊🏾
S/o J.Valentine.. To Have Never Tried ANYTHING Especially In THIS INDUSTRY Jss Really Speaks To Your Moral Code & Nothing Says Special More Than Someone Tht Remains True To Themselves! Great Interview Gentleman!!

Chris Brown and Brandy need to get on here

Loving this podcast!! ❤️
It doesn’t cost to hit the like 👍🏻 button!! How you gonna view the episode & not even hit the like button?? 🤔 🤔 IT’S FREE PEOPLE,SHOW SUM ❤️. It helps get the podcast shown& suggested if you don’t wanna share it etc. 💯
Hitmaker's DMX impression is everything!! RIP DMX
Positive Vibes Hitmaka❤ Blessings
Love to see Christian tell his story. I knew him before he was Hitmaka and even before Yung Berg. He absolutely came from a wealthy family and he was bad as hell in school. All I ever knew was that he ended up moving to the city and ended up in boarding school. I’m 40 now and just now hearing him tell his story. Kudos to him.
Halfway through and this is amazing. I remember Berg. I always thought he was a gimmick 2 hit wonder. So when I seen the preview the other day I'm like why he call him hitmaka. Then I googled it. Like damn this dude did a 180.
I always hear hitmaka tag in songs but never cared to see who he was.
Crazy story of his upbringing.
Yung Berg love his story and he told his story so well. R&B MONEY... TANK AND J.Valentine much love for doing this💙💪🏾😍
This is hands down my favorite new podcast. I love that I always learn something new. Tank & J Valentine are engaging hosts. I had NO clue Hitmaka was doing all of this, what a way to make a comeback/remain relevant.
I can’t wait to see future guests. I totally agree we need Ray J on here asap, he’s a national treasure.
One of the dopest transitions in current music history. Shouts to Hitmaka Berg
Yung Berg is well deserving of his flowers. Truly the name Hitmaka is legendary 🌹🌹🌹🖤
Great discussion about the music industry, the camaraderie is real, appreciate the honesty👏🏾👏🏾
I’m not a podcast person but I’ll watch these all day. The insights on how everyone started is gold.
I feel privileged to be among the first subscribers of the R&B Money Podcast cause like Michael Jackson say.. This Is IT! 💯
Hitmaka tells good stories, he need a book
I don’t know who or what Tank and J Valentine to do a podcast, but I am so appreciative that it happened.
I love every single episode! This one was the one I didn’t know I needed to see! Yung Berg is so dope. Listening to his own music and hearing his story is truly a testament to staying true to what you love.
Shout out to J...I don't care about the perception "I'm the Valentine" lol love it
This is so NECESSARY‼️‼️ Salute to you guys, Tank and J you guys doing it for the love of music!! The way you guys allowed this man to share his experience is so dope!! It open up so much about growth in the industry. Much love to BERG AKA HITMAKA!! We need more of these it will school people on the how’s and and whys of the industry. This misconceptions and the misunderstandings will be showcased!! I’m here for more I can’t wait to hear more dope interviews! This like music testimonials‼️‼️‼️✨✨✨
Wow, I never knew Yung Berg was HitMaka. That is dope! Yeah, his catalog is insane. Great Podcast content fellas!
You and me both just realized this
Just realized seconds ago
This podcast touched me in so many ways. Thanks to you guys for setting this up and being that inspiration and light!
Shout out to these two fine black men trying to make a difference in the black community. Definitely need to change the cycle. Its destructive!!!
Shout out to HITMAKA....I sure didn't know he was on that level of intellect to wanna see others do better and be better. Stop being crabs 🦀 in a barrel and lift US UP!!!
How can I be part of this podcast. Behind the scenes shit. I can do it all.
😫. This show is the truth!! Waiting to see who they bring on next.
