- The Authority On All Things R&B !
On this week's episode of The R&B Money Podcast, Tank and J Valentine chop it up with visionary writer, producer, and engineer Donnie Scantz, one of the musical masterminds behind Aaliyah's "I Don't Wanna" and Ludacris's "Pimpin All Over the World." We get the origin story of Scantz straight from Houston, as the prodigy recounts hustling his way through school cranking out beats, chasing glory days in 1990s Atlanta, and maneuvering his come-up among the Noontime elite. From sleeping 5-to-1 in pursuit of his Aaliyah dream to serendipitously encountering Keri Hilson earlier in her career, Scantz releases crazy tales of risking it all in a state of emergency. Barely missing a credit on Usher's smash "Yeah" while paying life-changing dues that prepared him to later mentor so many in this game. This rare ride rivals movies in the uncensored chronicle of R&B history you simply need to experience. Donnie Scantz is now on The R&B Money Podcast!

I'm glad that J. and Tank's R&B Money podcast provides a safe space for artists to share their journeys in the music industry.
This man had a lot of lows, he’s a very resilient person, stood on business at all times, the side of the business you don’t ever hear about. Thank you for this podcast.
This podcast is like putting together a giant puzzle. Each guest comes on and adds a piece of knowledge we didn’t know. Sometimes, like this episode you hear some of the same stories told by previous guests. Confirming the puzzle’s authenticity. My fav podcast!👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥
No really. Hearing B.Cox version of how Emancipation of Mimi came about then hearing Johnta Austin part and hearing these two pop up in countless stories. Just awesome and very authentic cuz the storytelling is always consistent with with guests
@@jazminmorris5745 facts!! True fans are following the story lines and they are consistent.
Same sentiments
Facts
This the realest interview yet. The good, the bad, the ugly.
So real and Donnie brought the numbers with him.
He had the receipts and he stood on business no fake shit
@@msmojo1Yep, he brought the pooper scooper for Keri's 💩
And he still presented them respectfully
Man this reminded me of Relationships I've had with people where I've over extended my Loyalty and got paid dust. I loved hearing his stories, I hope his journey is continued with success.
Disrespectful that this didn’t get the views. Scantz is a real one. Tank J please don’t let the amount of views discourage you from given us what we need. Love the pod.
Don Scantz the cautionary tale..... Be ready to stand alone if you decide to stand on business.😢
Exactly
💯
I'll say it again, it's the writers and producers for me. Every time a guest is introduced who is not widely known... here comes the comments. I wish people knew that our knowledge, or lack there of, of a guest does not determine whether or not she/he is worth interviewing. Everyone has a story to tell. Thank you, Donnie, for keeping it 💯. Salute Donnie and R&B Money!
it be the so-called unknowns that end up have the best episodes a lot of the times...i look forward to the folks who I may not know, or don't know the face, etc.
💯💯💯💯
Facts! I'm almost caught up having binged EVERY episode. ❤
Dang Keri & Polow 😔. Tank & J faces & silence said it all.
I didn’t know this man prior to this interview but I’m rooting for him in all that he does from here on out… he seemed sincere and honest and that’s what’s needed in music.
I love how Tank and J let him express himself… you can tell Keri and Polo really hurt him… He’s a gracious man! And, his Voltron is 🔥🔥🔥! I wish him more success!
Polow burnt a lot of relationships
Keri too smh @@dannnidoll
The blues in RnB is real. I thought Keri and Polow fell off, no, it was just karma for the way they treated Donnie.
@@thomasscott3973 that karma something real fr
Cannot even front... there's certain aspects of this interview not only broke my heart but has definitely altered my views of some of people he mentioned in this view. The transparency, honesty, and vulnerability- so glad he was able to share his story. Well done interview!
Finally someone giving IDEAL their flowers 💐…. I play that album TO THIS DAY!!!
Now it makes sense why Keri's interview felt so weird...she wasn't telling the FULL truth. What's done in the dark will ALWAYS come to light.
Absolutely!
I agree. I never finished her episode. Something felt off. Especially how she kept saying she didn’t remember.
I didn’t finish it either.
You are so right! For one, it was boring- I couldn’t finish the episode as well.
I watched the whole thing and it felt very inauthentic
This was I ain’t saying no names, but for the whole episode 😂😂
Lesson kids: Integrity and business do not go hand in hand. It does not mean success will not come but Lord! Bless Donnie for perseverence!
This interview is authentic and shows the real “Every man for himself” side of the industry and it also shows the resilience you have to have to make it in this industry
This was one of the realest interviews on the R&B Money Podcast to date. Much love and respect to Donnie the 🐐
This episode was so good! Give Donnie Scantz his flowers!❤❤💐💐💐💐🔥🔥🔥
Voice: Lalah Hathaway
Performance style: Tina Turner
Drip: Beyoncé
Passion: Nina Simone
I don’t think anyone has done this segment better than Donnie. This is High level right here. Also love the fact that he chose to build a WOMAN vs. a man. I reallllly enjoyed watching this episode. Thank you Donnie Scantz. You just gave me some new inspo!
Possibly the greatest voltron yet!
@@D0peSince85 Indeed!
But is it basically Beyoncé!??
@@ahh_driBeyoncé is a whole Voltron by herself. Lol
I love his honesty. This is the side people need to see.
So many lessons to take from his story. A lot of people are going to learn from his candidness. Gotta make sure the reciprocation and loyalty given is assessed with discernment. Truth is everyone doesn’t have your best interest at hand. No matter how tight u think you are. But if you sow good seed, good harvest will always come back to you.
See as much as I know and love rnb i never knew of this person by name. Telling yall this is the most important podcast out man smhhhh thanks Tank & Jay
I say this ever time it’s someone I don’t know.
I learn sooo much about the behind the scenes and what it really takes to become and stay a working person in the business.
@@Madein67 fax it’s amazing its like you learn that even the greats went through hella rejection and struggle before they made it. So u shouldn’t feel a way that you’re going through it because it’s not personal it’s just the nature of the business.
@@alee7322 i know the people most of the time but i learn a lot more about them but then its times like this where its like ok i didnt know this at all. Best pod fr.
Aww Donnie! He seems like he was waiting to get some of this off of his chest. I'm glad you all provided the platform for him. I wish him the best!
😮 my face the whole time he was telling his perspective of the Timbaland/Polow/Keri situation
Everytime Tank sings top 5 Jay looks like it's his first time hearing it like a proud parent 😂😂 ❤ I love it Malaya is dope
EVERY TIME! Because he knows Tank is up for any type of rendition😊😂
Loved this interview. And especially it being a call back to the Keri episode. I said c’mon ‘Messy Club ShayShay’! 😂
NOW we need ya’ll to acquire BRANDY, Tamia & let’s throw Melanie Fiona in there as well.
-Mgmt.
amen!
Do you have a time stamp for that part?
Yes!! I haven’t seen anyone mention Melanie before you.
Shakes for dollars, I'd still like to holla is hilarious 😂
Definitely appreciate his vulnerability and his story. The BLUES of R&B the part people seem to forget.
ScantzMan made me want to cry listening to his story and how he emotionally shared it. The lows kept getting lower and more heart breaking. The pain he was in telling the story seemed to finally disappear as the story left him. Hats off to Team R&B Money for having these insightful, couch conversations that are needing on so many levels. The mental space that these beautiful artists leave in must be so damn amazing. Looking forward to the next one!!
I think the brother was and is way to humble. This feels like an example of shrinking yourself just enough to be overlooked because you think you’re beneath a timbaland. You gotta know how dope you are so you don’t slip through the cracks.
Hearing him say he can't lift a finger to Timbaland made me sad! Sure, respect to your idols but not at your own expense!
He probably didn't want to outshine the master
@@caliBornbEautyyou’re right but hopefully he was meaning at that time in his career he couldn’t compare.
@jakehill2010 sign of a good teacher is that the students surpass the master. That's not disrespect, it's an honor. Leaving the world better than you found it. We hold people in high regard but they would not do the same. Timbaland knew the song was Donnie's and "improved" it. Would Tim be so appreciative if a better producer took his beat and made it their own and did not credit him? Probably not.
@bosswray54 I get that too but I don't like self depreciation. These creative people are all amazing in their own right. Donnie deserves his flowers
Wow this interview really went all in. Kind of hit you in the gut with his memories about the meeting with Timbaland, Kerri & Polo. Can’t understand why people won’t stand up for each other in matters of the truth. Loved the interview especially bringing up Mental Health issues which is so needed. Thanks Tank & J for letting us see the other side of R&B Money. Glad DS is continuing his journey & is still doing what he loves!!
Great episode. We learned, yet again, how the music business is treacherous at times. As for his story with Keri.. oddly enough I’m NOT surprised.
I'm not surprised Keri did something like that either, same with Polo.
Me neither I feel like she was fake on the podcast
I literally commented on Keri's interview that I can't put my finger on it, but something about her is very off-putting. Donnie put some reasoning behind my feeling.
THANK YOU!
That something was unsubstantiated arrogance.
She fake and I felt that when I watched her on here
Looking back, hers did feel less authentic than the other interviews
Anytime someone mentions Aaliyah, I'm hooked
J Valentine , the way you listened to this person is the way you should listen to the women who interview on your show without interrupting them constantly. Great interview.
That’s the reason I haven’t seen Tiffany Red’s episode. Just based on the comments I knew I’d be triggered by the way they were treating her.
Damn. You're right though...
As a healer, one thing I appreciate is authenticity. That is what this episode brought. Thank you.
Hey yall, I got one for the list: TEEDRA MOSES.
Also, Dre & Vidal, Tim & Bob, Big Bub, J Dub.
I've said this!! Mya too
The moral of the story, keep grinding, keep working hard and people will respect you. Im still a believer in the word of God that says Your gifts will make room for you and bring you before great men. A man diligent in his business will stand before Kings and not mere men 🙌🏽🔥
Donnie is a wealth of knowledge and he's humble in his success he can really pop his ish but he's meek
Flowers 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 To Dscantz
I love the way Valentine looks at things and tries to give people the benefit of the doubt. He holds others accountable but also himself
You can tell before you even listen that if it’s 2 hours or more that it’s gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
This interview was definitely on time!!! The journey is never easy but if you love it (whatever that is) it’ll never stop tapping and tugging at your heart! Thank you for the transparency and recording receipts Donnie 😂
Great interview. Love it when Tank does the Top 5 and to see J’s smile when he plays and secretly takes us to church. ❤❤😂
From a fan of r&b, im happy to learn about donnie scantz and his journey. So many gems dropped in this one💯
i love how Donnie took his time with his story...great interview! now I gotta put on some Ideal.
Can we have Ryan Leslie on?
GOOD ONE. YEAH. *RAWR* Tank voice
Has to happen
👏🏽
This is one of my top 5 interviews. Honesty and truth. Everybody has a side to the story. I love how it all comes out. Truth always comes to light. May God continue to bless you!!!!!
Bring Jaheim!!! We need him to be a guest. Y’all would break the internet for sure.
I agree!!! Jaheim needs some time ❤
Please ❤
This episode was so foundational in many ways. The raw stories and experiences of this man…my goodness. The honesty of it all was so needed. And his #HTX beginnings…❤️🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾
Shout out to Donnie mf Scantz and all his contributions to music we loved ❤
Keri ALWAYS been shady. I'm not surprised by anything he's saying about her.
What up, Donnie! H-Town, Ideal, Lamar HS in the building. RIP Mrs. Scantlebury!
Y’all don’t understand how much I love y’all… 😂 I lowkey be acting like I know yall in Real life 😂. ❤ y’all and what yall doing.
This voltron is one of the coldest ever and I love how he made his a woman! The addition of writer/producer to the voltron🫰🫰🫰. We need another Tank episode where he’s asked the same qs he asks the guests!
Good having ppl like Donnie Scantz who are underrated
Another great interview with one of the architects of great R&B!!! I loved his transparency on how dirty the music business is, so many people in the business have backstabber stories!!!
Appreciate his transparency and insight. It’s always great to see when talent outweighs adversity.
I love this show. I learn something every time I watch. This time was not different with Donnie bringing the money side of the business. I love that he said how much he was paid to create his track.
I knew this would be a dope interview! Such humility and vulnerability! Thanks for being so open and sharing, Donnie‼️❤️
Yesssssss so happy to hear the group HTOWN mentioned.
Yesssss Donnie Scantz ! We salute you My Brother 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Robert Townsend was just on Questlove Supreme. I need him on R&B Money. I need yall to ask the R&B questions that NO ONE else will ask. Love yall and thank yall.
I tried to watch their podcast, but it's incomparable to R&B Money lol.
@@bobbymorg34567 frfr. It's so scattered. I'm saying Tank and Jay would have the best Townsend interview ever
That man said u been tricking for a long time huh lmaooo that song was fire!!!
This was an amazing interview. I really love how this podcast allows people to come on and speak about their journey and what it took for them to get there. I have heard of Donnie Scantz but never knew his back story. This man definitely deserves his flowers. Y'all honestly have not missed with these episodes. #1 podcast in the game 💯🤙🏾🔥🔥
Man that music business ain’t no joke! Salute to the creators that don’t have a big ass head. Desire is nothing without execution. Keep cooking y’all
Welp, Keri got her karma later on. 😂
She sure did!
This dude made my fave Aaliyah joint ever and among my fave songs ever!!!
1:07:05 This is STILL a vibe. Imagine a remix for 2024!
Please!!! Drop this
That. Song. Is. So. Fire. Shit, i love R&B, fuckin GenZ gotta try to kill our R&B, SMH
Facts!! Drop the song Tank!!!
Thank you for shedding light on these musical geniuses. This explains why I couldn’t get into the Keri Hilson episode. Something was off about it. This interview was very insightful.
Maaan I loved hearing the NoonTime stories
D Scantz .. if you know YOU KNOW ! Check the credits . Love this episode ❤❤❤
loved his interview kept it 💯
Tank must’ve really loved this song lol he let the whole thang play
Wow that voice is so pure Tank
First off the “state of emergency” was crazy. I remember that music from MySpace and it was classic. Wish it was still online somewhere
Shakes for dollars!!! Cmon now a BOP
DScantz ... what a treat to be on this podcast a few days before your birthday! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The narration of his career was awesome
Yoo I been tryna hear Shakes For Dollars since the PJ Morton episode. 😂🤣 Thnx D Scantz
Damn this interview had ALL LOWS, doesn’t seem like this brother ever got his break…….. this might be the best interview on this show so far, its so real
My HTown homeboy since the 80s❤❤❤
Mr. Donnie is a very hard working man. He's a very talented man. I truly love Aaliyah "I Don't Wanna"...Thank You Tank & J. Valentine for bring Donnie on. So far my favorite episode.
This was another incredible episode. Thank you J, Tank and R&B Money podcast with a grest guest This episode was terrific.🎉🎉🎉
This was a very inspiring interview. Shoutout to another HSPVA alumni 🙌🏽❤
Tank is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂he said "not the bbbbaabbbeeee"
H-Town legend!! D Scantz. I see the Gotta Feed Da Fam gear!
When spoke of the mental and psychological fight one has to endure when going through industry lows and made the “bullet to the head” reference… Oo-Weee! I felt that 🙏🏾 😢…the strength one must have 💯💯💯
Thank you Tank and J.valentine for the information especially for a Indy artist like myself. Hopefully one day you will have me on the show.
This was a classic episode for sure.
My favorite thing about the guest that aren't widely known. Teach the audience the most about the music industry.
Donnie Scantz taught me the wayz 🔥🔥🔥
His Voltron is crazy! 🔥🔥
I appreciate this interview because that keri hilson interview left so much to be desired as far as her story goes
Wow! This was everything, inspiring and so much more. ⚘️⚘️
His Voltron might be top 5 .What a combination! great episode
Y’all should have LUKE JAMES on the show next
what an interesting guest wow you never know everyone's background and how they get to where they are this guest is refreshing.
Tank and J Valentine, you all hit a gold mine with this R&B money, and this interview with this extremely talented artist is amazing. I continued blessings to you both and continued success. And I always 6 Keri Hilston was over rated . This dentkeman is TALENT ! And this extremely talented man should not worry about Keri Hilson Beyonce shut her down and he still flourishing congratulations .
I do know that what comes around goes back around, and I'm sure everyone he's mentioned got that back.
I love it when Tank performs Top Five every week in a different way.
