To see two black men pour into this young woman in such an innocent way is beautiful. They aren’t flirting. They aren’t sexualizing her. They aren’t condescending. They are legitimately giving her free game and building her up. 👑
THISSSSSS!🎯💪🏾
I don’t even believe it is “game” it’s actual, mutual respect and flowers respectfully given. 💐🌻
I was thinking the samething. Great way to put it!! 👏🏾
Yeeeesss! It's just a conversation. You can tell they actually respect her frfr. This is a genuine interview and I love that!
They're treating her with that big brother love/protection.❤️
The way y'all lifted Ari up throughout this entire interview was SO sweet. Ari really doesn't realize the impact she has or how amazing she is.
Yeah she has this innocence about her
💯
100%
She's one of my favorite artists. ❤️ Her!!
No I think she believes in it it’s just not the end goal this career is not the end all be all family is more important to her
Facts
"Your talent, your gift is your lottery ticket." A word.
They really lifted Ari up and spoke life into her during this interview. Beautiful.

" Bad, Brown and Bougie"🤣🤣🤣
She’s the cutest person. I love how genuinely excited she gets about literally everything 😂
She’s always like “wow” in awe of everything 😩❤️
That’s why she’s my girl!
While she listening and taking it all in her responses remind me of willow Smith on red table talk. It's a lot of oh wooow, really and awww 🙂 I love it. She seems like a sweet person.
Right! She’s a doll face ❤️🤣🤣🤣
Ari doesn’t realize how much people really love her! I can’t believe she be so surprised when people know her and her music! She is a true gem in the industry! She has such a beautiful aura that lights up the world with her beautiful personality and music!
The problem with the music industry today is that they like to take the gems and cut them into (jewelry) pieces...if you catch my meaning.
THIS ❗️❕️❗️
yeah she has to get her self confidence up. She is amazing!
@@candicebrooken9238 I feel like it's alot of pressure for female singer's now than every before back then was all about the voice no social media not it's like woman always have to look sexy instead of just dressing regularly and having a great voice
Three peice Linux is good singer she talk about reston Virginia reston raised me .hope tank and jt help her find her way
She doesn’t believe her own hype/ potential!!! And that’s the energy she puts into it.. she doesn’t realize how many people are rooting for her
I said this same thing about her when she released her tour list and I realized how small the venues were. Like, "The House of Blues? Girl, do you know who TF you are?!"
I love me some Ari Lennox she is so fire 🔥 not just her voice but everything about her she's just unapologetically herself and she also a beautiful 🥰 chocolate Barbie doll
They validated her feelings, while giving her sound advice. Fast forward to Tank's reaction to Ari's performance at the Soul Train awards and it's evident they're genuinely supporting and rooting for her. Can't wait to hear the art that comes from the space she's currently in. She's truly a gem.
Ari really does not realize how talented she is and how much she means to Black women. Sis really is THAT gworl!
I wonder why tho
@ G An industry of her own men and other groups of men given permission to denigrate and degrade her likeness, ethnicity and image.
@ G since the early 2000s. That’s 2 decades of it.
Shae butter came out and this guy called me and said “this girl reminds me of you”. He told me I smelled like black girl magic 😅 yessss!!!! She is needed! My brown skin daughter won’t see herself in some of the other girls out
@@Justme12369 Amen to that queen
You know what I really enjoy about this podcast? While Tank and J do have a format they like to follow, they know when to pivot and what their guests need. Ari needed guidance, her flowers, grounding, and exposure to new possibilities. Thank you for giving her what she needed, while giving us a great episode ❤️.
Well said!
THIS!!!!
Tank was right on the money when he said that Ari doesn't quite understand the level of her influence. She seems so down to earth and wide eyed. You don't see that much from artists nowadays. Bravo to Tank and J for facilitating such a great interview. I was definitely inspired by them!
J.Cole hit gold with you Ms. Lennox and your grandmama spoke it into existence. Im 58 and I love your music. Keep singing.
I’m living for how J. and Tank are pouring life into Ari about the business…..we love to see it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah like im olny 13 mins in and it like she didn't really have anyone to support her or give her this talk what she having now u can tell she shy too but she very interesting too I hope tank and J.V can get her up there so sweetheart she is
It was so beautiful to see her making this connection and soak up so much knowledge from her peers, I hope this leads to a lifelong bond
Facts it jus seems like her eyes open up to bigger possibilities. Tank & J seem to have the ability to show some guest the bigger pic
@@mikejoe9121 100% I agree there it's ok to be a fan of the work and geek out
Well you have to think she’s on a rap label for the most part so from a perspective of a singer she really didn’t anyone in camp
We need and Ari - Tank Collab... with all 3 pens!
Don't know if he can top the one with Kelly Rowland.
Agreed! I can’t wait to hear their collab!!! Ready!!!❤
Whew!!
@@50ztej The Show is everything
Right that would be 🔥
About a month ago, I met Ari at a carwash, and she was SO SWEET! Her disposition is so gentle and warm. I want this woman to experience all good things! She deserves.
I wish I could meet her like that. She’s so dope.
You can tell this industry makes her nervous. I love how J and Tank drop gems on her. You can tell she was taking mental notes. I hope they allow her to call them for more gems.
My prayer for Ari is that she truly finds the love she desires, has the family she dreamed of having, really realizes her talent, gift and value to R&B music and regains her passion for it.
OAN, this sit-down was definitely different. This was probably a conversation that Ari needed from 2 genuine, seasoned and compassionate individuals that understand her pain, confusion and gave her the guidance and mentoring that she may have needed.
Now that "On It" hit tho...🔥🔥 It didn't come off as inappropriate or vulgar because of the delivery. They sang the HELL outta that song! And sang/performed it tastefully. Not to mention, Plies made us love it even that much more after his HILARIOUS IG post!😂
I know the EXACT performance/moment Tank was speaking of w/Yolanda😍 And totally get why he lost himself in her and her performance. Yolanda Adams does it to me every time I watcher her perform as well.
Once again, AWESOME show fellas!!👏🏾 Until next Saturday....💙
This feels like overhearing a conversation between 2 big brothers and their little sister. So warm and nurturing. Also, every week J Valentine learns something new about church and it is HILARIOUS to see.
Yes!!!
Yesssss! I want a J interview ❤️
Yes! He's so excited about Black Church 😂 pure joy
I live for J and his church lessons!!! They’re so sweet and uplifting to her. Loved this.
“It’s your world…you have more control than you realize…” -Tank
This applies to ALL of us.
Jazmine and Ari would be the best concert even if it was just one night 🥰
I went… it was AMAZING!!
I love that Tank and J went into Big Brother mode with Ari. You can tell she is not really feeling the music industry BS. Great interview guys!!! Blessings to you and yours
Ari is like a sweet awkward funny. I love her 😭😭😭😭
I would love to see a Chrisette Michelle's interview. Outside of the whole presidential drama, she's a great singer. We need to get her back to R&B.
Yes, she's talented, it would be great to see her in this space.
Yes! We need Chrisette on for real. She so gifted.
Her interview on The Terrell Show was great!
I definitely agree about Crisette Michelle. I never gave up on her.
Agreed!
As a black man it's so easy to uplift my people especially Black Women, in fact it's a pleasure and I appreciate these brothers for doing the same.
Ari Lennox is so golden. I swear. I hope she realizes after all the accolades given in this interview that she should keep it up. We idolize her & her talent. She is the neo soul artist of right now.
Blows me away that so many artists don't realize the impact they have on so many people (on the other side of the speaker) who live, love and play to their music. #rNb4life
I LOVE how you guys just swooped in...and became her big brothers. She's an amazing soul, but you guys opened her eyes to things she didn't see. This is my favorite episode so far. Amazing!
Yesss!!! It’s like they are the big brothers she never knew she needed. This episode was amazing
Love how Ari not afraid to say she wants a family. I love her realness
Did y’all hear Tank…”All her integrity is still intact.” THAT IS SOME SERIOUS 🌹 💐🌹💐
Tanks and J’s advice and mentorship is needed . I hope Ari accepts her flowers and flourish as an artist. Cause we Love you Ari .
Yesss this is beautiful ❤
Gotta Protect Ari. She gotta be one of probably a few genuine artist and people. Like she needs the r&b community around her and she needs just good people around her. Like this interview out of all the others makes so much sense to me as far as how she is. She really be present in her walk
That's all I kept thinking during this interview.
Facts
Exactly I love how they were so gentle with her.
Protect Ari at all cost 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Does Ari not have anyone encouraging her or lifting her up in her life? I hope she can be surrounded by a stronger and more encouraging support system. She’s a sweetheart and I wish her love and light.
Shout out to Ashley (01:05:57)
She seems like she might just be really spiritual and introverted, and maybe just isn't so outwardly focused. She seems just so driven by intuition and emotion, and it seems like everything just clicked for her career. Not that she isn't into the lifestyle and all of glam that comes with it, she's just all vibes. I think she just doesn't know how much better/ more authentic she is in comparison to other people in the world at large, not just restricted to the industry (which obviously I know fuckall about).
It seems like the people she probably would choose to hang out with are just introverted and gentle people who just aren't so hype-y.
You can and still not believe them. You will think they just biased and saying it bc the love you
ari really doesn’t see herself they way others see her. i think the industry has done a number on her and she’s just tired of the facade of it all. WE LOVE YOU ARI!!
I sense that too
Because it's not just about the music anymore it's about internet clout and always have to compete with the other woman looking sexy
She’s definitely over this shit😭😭
She’s also had a really bad stalker for the last few years. Imagine being harassed and called names all day every day for years 😢
Yessssss WE LOVE YOU ARI!!!
Tank playing the lottery is the funniest thing 😂
I recall Mary J. running across the street to the store to play the lottery before an appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show. I just listened to Tanks’ Tiny Desk and I love him even more. I met him on a plane, he was so kind and personable. I want to create a college course based on his music. I play his music before teaching a course. It’s insane that students don’t know his music. #blacksexuality
These three writing together is a fever dream!! It needs to happen NOW!!
I watch this over and over. I love the way these black men are pouring into this black woman
I won’t be mad if she becomes a “one every 5 yrs” type of artist so she has time to live and enjoy life. It’s all about balance, but I would hate for the world to miss out on her gift altogether at some point.
Like a Sade
Yesss
The durag line was very important, but Tank having a Bow Wow brush is HILARIOUS lmaooo
The way Ari so properly said “It’s giving pimping.” 😂😂😂😂😂
I’m so mad I’m just barely getting around to watching R&B Money. The boys are too funny and the way they pour into their guests is so dope. Love this side of youtube.♥️👑
This is the WARMEST, FUNNIEST, COZIEST, MOST GENUINE & RESPECTFUL interview I've seen featuring both male AND female Energies in a LONG TIME! I love how watching this makes me feel! I feel like I'm right in the room with y'all! Lol. And I love this level of comfort for Ari, she deserves it!
Ari's energy is ahhhhmazing!!! Tank and J are right when they say Ari doesn't realize her full potential and her greatness. Someone somewhere has hurt her and Ari hasn't fully worked through it. She is humble and the sweetest. As she grows into her womanhood she will blossom even more and I'm here for it!!! #3pieceLennox
Yep yep. I feel that too. I feel like something must have happened in her life growing up. Plus not to mention she is probably seeing the dark side of the music industry. She and we need to pray for this young lady because she has a gifted voice.
Get Jill Scott on here please. Her interviews always 🔥
Can I just say...the love that they're showing Ari is almost bringing me to tears. ❤ Real grown man brotherly love. Thanks guys...Real Man representation matters and I'm here for it.
Ari Lennox is what we need in the R&B game, that girl can sing and her lyrics bring nothing but honesttt
This is the interview Ari didn't know she needed. Big bros Tank and J ministerd, mentored, and uplifted her!! I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship between the three of them. You need people who can speak life into you and remind you of how special and needed you are when you feel like quitting. Protect Ari!!!
Shout out to Ari Lennox for pushing through her anxiety and answering top 5's🙌🏾😊
I freaking love Ari Lennox
Tank singing "first downnnnnn" had me rollin! 🤣🤣
Ari Lennox is everything. y'all gotta get Sevyn Streeter, SZA, HER, Kehlani, and Victoria Monet next ✨
Ari Lennox is a very humble Sis, don't change!
As a dark skinned black woman Ari absolutely inspire me to embrace the skin I’m in and the beauty in being classy. I absolutely loved the BET Award performance ❤
“Hogging the gift…keeping the gift to yourself.” I feel called out. 😂
Me tooooo 😂😂
Lord, cover this young lady. Put the right people around her. Give her wisdom of the industry so that it doesn't take advantage of her. Send her sisters who will pour into her. Thank you for Tank & Jay for graciously loving on her and educating her. Build a strong fence around her and keep her safe.
in Jesus name,
Amen
I agree. She has the light. Amen 🙏🏽
Amen
This is a real thing…Kings pouring into a Queen, it’s a real thing. We love to see it! 🥰🤧🙌🏾🌹
Ari has no idea how big Big Big she is. Absolutely amazing person, soul, spirit, aura, beauty. Her glow. I am still in awe. The world needs more beautiful souls.
Pound for Pound..the best female R&B Soul vocalists today are Ari Lennox, Jazmine Sullivan, KeKe Wyatt and Fantasia! Those sistas are goosebump singers! When they sing.. you can feel it! Facts! 💯 Stop By, Lions, Tigers & Bears, Fall in Love, and Free Yourself! Listen to those songs and holler back!
Haven’t heard Stop By … gonna listen now
Jazmine Sullivan is incredible! Absolutely incredible.
You're not wrong
She’s still so pure. I hope they don’t ruin her. I’d rather she get out before then. She has no idea how great she is or the depth of her impact. I feel like she needs a mentor and someone looking out for her. She learned a lot just from this one conversation from these veterans. Love Ari ❤
Her energy is magnetic!!
Just hope the music industry doesn't take advantage of her.
@@belindalindsey7056 agreed......
She’s so genuine. I don’t how I missed this one but I’m glad I found it
I love Ari Lennox, like seriously I can be riding alone in my car and I’ll play her music and be at peace within myself. She’s so beautiful 🤎
Ari so adorable and humble. She's the first guest that actually spoke less than the hosts. Tank and J like them older bros that always have some gems to drop. Plus The Underdogs behind some of the finest records we've ever heard . Soak in that game!!
Her humility was everything …and salute to the fellas for pouring into her along the way
I use to sing with her in the youth choir at church. She always killed the solos. What’s good Courtney. It's Sim. So proud of you!
Lol at like an hour and 30 minutes when they’re talking about church sex and ari is humming “when we” in the background 😂
1:08:46 I love this, y’all are mentoring her and she is so enlightened and humble. Thank you guys so much 🙏🏽, another 🔥🔥🔥🔥 interview 🎊🎊🙌🏽🙌🏽✨🖤. R & B 💰💵
Love the Big Brother(s), Little Sister energy.
The laughter coming from the back, is hilarious.
Seeing Ari standing in her blackness, on stages of thousands of ppl wearing her natural hair & singing soul music is everything to me. I feel like she’s my sister/friend forreal. Keep shining Ari! WE love you! ❤❤
Jazmine being nervous to record “On It” is so funny 😂 you would have never guessed; Ari got her to sing those lyrics in stride!
Y’all HAVE to get in the studio with her!!!! I would love to hear a few joints with your personalities mixed together. The chemistry is AMAZING
That would be dope
Yes I know Ari and Tank will for sure make magic, with the help of J . That would be so far❤️❤️
Indeed.
Tank an Ari need to bless us with a song ❤
Tank Ari & J Need To remix SLOW Hope They Read This Shit
Facts! I'd said the same thing about Face then we got blessed
They are the loving big brothers she needed lol so dope to watch.
I love her purity; I hope the industry doesn't steal that from her. Always been my favorite since her Tiny Desk performance.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
J doing the background vocals on "I'm Tryna" is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐐
2:51"Bad, Brown and Bougie"...Im going wherever she goes. Alright now! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
38:38 Ari felt burnt out after writing 3 projects; Shea Butter Baby was organic
41:40 Tank!!!💀☠💀
46:42 GO OUTSIDE!
Get some of that🧡
55:22💎whistle note practice ahead of time
1:17:35 make the audit and act accordingly
1:30:31💒loving #biggestfreax
She just seem so wholesome
Like i can sleep to the peacefulness of her talking voice
Tank and J arr yiving big brother vibea, like theyve see the worse of the business and they trynna protect Ari at all costs
Ari is like a deer in headlights with the writing process that they explained! 😂 but I’m glad that she still has this innocence about her and not allowing the industry to change her. She is very refreshing!
“You’ll miss out on things here and there but there’ll be other things.” - J. Valentine - that’s a word. 🙏🏾
Happy to see Ari humanized, smiling, having fun, and getting insight on her.
I'm so glad Jay and Tank are giving Ari all these jewels. Ari need to connect more with men and women like this in the industry. Reach out to Patti, Anita, Gladys and seasoned entertainers in her line of business. She need someone to help guide her through this industry that does what she does. Her confidence looks as if it's broken. Jermaine Dupree had to help breathe life back into her and tap into her true artistry. That's what Ari need to be around the veterans in this game. She can learn from them and get the insight and power through them to carry on in this industry. Ari said she wants to work with them and I think it would be idea for her.
I love the brothers were supportive of our sister....I pray Ari finds peace in herself and enjoys her journey while she waits for God to send the man of her dreams
Ari has that Jill Scott stardom 🤩 Ari is fire 🔥
I feel like the Tank mentorship program needs to start( if it’s already open, please sign Ari L. up), Ari will really benefit from this mentorship. So many life changing nuggets.
She talked about “ having another thing, Rihanna has Fenty”, maybe Ari fleshing out her song writing skills will allow her to enjoy the music and still be content.
I feel like for her professional life, Ari ought to organically align with Tank’s mentorship and for the personal life, the real 🥷🥷 program with J. valentine to give her the game.
Ari talkin voice is like a massage to my eardrums
I aagreee 🎶🎵🎼👂🏽💕💕😊 !!
J aint tell a lie. R&B maybe slow money but its LONG money. R&B don't die. its one temptation still living and we still playing their music.
Shoutout to Tank and Jay extending their support and music genius to Ari like true big brothers in the game. That collaboration is going to be insane.
Jesus Christ!! Tank and J! Thank you! You two don’t even realize how you just grabbed this beautiful woman by her hands and gentle helped her maneuver through a space she was clearly struggling in.. It’s so beautiful to see two secure black men lend wisdom and advice to a black woman purely out of love for her being herself! Thank you thank you thank you ❤
J was sick of Tank and them damn lottery tickets 😂 I love that Ari wants more out of life than what the music industry can offer her, it can be negative at times but I think that’s what makes her different than most artists.
Jazmine Sullivan needs an episode as well
and Brandy
1) I just adore Ari. I don’t care too much for new R&B but Ari IS THAT girl.
ALL her albums 🔥 no skips, dope voice, dope beats, dope writing.
2) can we get Teedra Moses on here pleassssse😊
Yasss to everything you said!!! Teedra would be lovely on here!!!
Yes to teedra
Yes to Teedra!
Yes!
Oh yes I second everything you said. We neeeeeed Teedra!! ❤❤❤
Wild how she doesnt realize how huge she is! SHE'S ONE OF MY FAVS! For a few years now! REAL talent!! Genuine and a beautiful soul
Her "Wooowwwwww's" are sum serious 🤣🤣
I'm lovin her energy
The big brother energy during this interview is so beautiful. Keep it up guys. Legendary shit going on here.
Ari is definitely one of the most pure souls we've seen in a long time. Since that creed scene I knew she was different different.
I am an Aries ♈️ 3/27 and I feel exactly how Ari does. Being a hopeless romantic does feel toxic because you’re willing to give chances but you’re the one walking away hurt-every time and it makes you become harder and a list check for no no’s
Girl same. ♈️ I'm so glad I finally found my husband. He saved me from this treacherous cycle.
Me too 4/1 I agree
I’m an Aries too and this is facts about us
When we love, we're in it! 3/29 ♈️ 👸🏽 unite!
Yeah, I don't subscribe to the zodiac thing, but I will say we love hard in all relationships, whether that be friendship or relationship, and when we are betrayed, we will forgive but ain't no coming back boo the disappointment be too much especially after loving on you like.we do
It makes me so sad that she doesn’t see her full potential. She’s so amazing and humble. Her voice is anything like what we have now. When she sings it transcends.
This woman is a ray of sunshine personified, we love you Courtney & Ari
Ari is so magical. She's very green and fresh and she needs a lot of protection and guidance. I love how they are filling her up with love, ideas and wisdom. I hope they get to work with her musically. Her latest album is EXCELLENT. I'M TRYNA and I'M GONE CHAMGE WAS AMAZING and a major soundtrack to my senior year with ol dude lol. I'm so happy she got off the dating sites because that's a dangerous space for a woman like her. 💕
She is green but she a beast on that stage 🔥
@@nicolejames3054 i agree
When Tank stuck his face in the pillow 😂. I love Ari so much! She deserves all the great things, just so authentically herself. Her music and her ig lives literally got me through 2020. So amazing to see her be poured in to.
She is a true Aries and the love and compliments they poured into her is exactly what Aries need. To be validated, complimented and assure they are great… bc many Aries do not see their own potential and have a hard time believing in themselves behind closed doors
This is absolutely 💯 for me ♈️❤️💯
Thank you two for bringing Ari Lennox!!! Such a pure and beautiful voice for our Generation💯🎶🔥❤️ Great Episode!
Ready for Jodeci, 9th Wonder, Mint Condition, Jagged Edge, Donnell Jones, Rome, Today, Guy!!! This podcast will reach over 1M views each Episode! You guys have created R&B History with this!❤❤❤
Thanks for listening
