As a mom, it's crazy to me to hear these stories of parents kicking their kids out over the dumbest shit. She could've fell victim to trafficking. So glad her story did not turn out that way.
read my mind exactly
I don’t
How do parents think they are saving a kid by throwing them out? 🤔
Exactly it's crazy as hell
Black parents always throw their kids out. I think it’s the most craziest thing to do to a child.
I need Jasmine Sullivan as a guest next!! She's a vocal beast!!!
MOST definitely!!!
Great choice!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yes!!
AGREED!!!!
💯
You should have Sevyn Streeter on here. Her coming into being an artist story is good.
Absolutely!
Great idea
Yesssss LOVE ME SOME SEVYN
Absolutelyyyy
Teairra mari next! Her story thus far is EPIC!!!💯
I’d LOVE to see Teairra on here
Now that would be must see tv
I truly hope all is well with her.
We definitely need a part 2 with Brooke! If Hitmaka got 2 hours, she deserves 2 as well so she can finish telling her story!
I was just saying this is short
💯
I notice they do not edit, and I think the time is based on how long the guest wants to talk.
Right?!!
I feel like we didn't get enough of her story : When the album dropped and what happened after that. I appreciate her sharing her beginnings and how she navigated in the industry. Love Brooke.
She went thru it with Swizz Beats the producer! After the scandal with beatz cheating on her with Alicia keys....we didn't hear anymore music from her smh
@@pareeshaslaughter6798 now this is tea!!!!
@@pareeshaslaughter6798 wait or you referring to Mishonda his ex I might spelled her name wrong
Same we need more
@@pareeshaslaughter6798 I think you’re mixing up Brooke up with swizz beats ex wife Mashonda
If they do a TGT episode, that will be monumental
I'm mad as hell they only made one album
Tyrese is too emotional and talks too much. When he speaks he has a condescending tone to me. If it happens, I will definitely tune in
Tyrese just has to behave lmao
@@homeboymcjewerson456 Tyrese thought he was the Beyonce of the group🤷♂️ I feel like Tank was right up there with him and we saw after their breakup he still could put out hits. Ginuwine on the other hand didn't really have much leverage unfortunately not sure what their percentage splits were but I could see why they'd breakup over money with solo acts who could all hold their own.
@@Bo55edup Ginuwine didn't have leverage? Hahaha.
I feel like Brooke has more to tell us ….must bring her back ….I love this …Thank you Tank and J …..
Brooke is so gorgeous and a captivating storyteller!! I love her stories. Bring her back!!
💯💯💯
@R&BMoneyPodcast, PLEASE bring Brooke back. We need Part 2 after she showed out on Tiny Desk this morning.❤️
These “I ain’t saying no names” just keep getting better 😂
Who was she talking about? It’s killing me lol
I wanna know too
She needs a sequel for sure, this was fire! Great chemistry
I hope Brooke gets another episode to get more couch conversationssssss out. She was a hahlarious vibe and all over the place. Started feeling so sorry at a young age being put out of her mom's house but she turned out so much better than it could have been.
There's definitely more stories and I'm glad to have heard this much. Thanks for the introduction to Brooke!!
I miss Brooke Valentine singing. A lot people slept on Brooke’s first album which was really good. Dying From A Broken Heart 💔 was my favorite song on the album. I wish she would drop another dope album soon.
As a girl from Houston, she gave everything she needed to give. Love her
Jealous mothers are a real thing and it's tragic. Smh whew chile. I'm glad she made something of herself in spite of coming from little motivation at home.
We need a part 2.
We didn’t get into anything regarding love & hip hop, how was her experience with that? What happened with the label after girl fight? What happened with the rumor of them approaching her for L&HHH the very first season but she got into a big fight so they couldn’t cast her. I remember that story going super viral before viral was a thing. So many things I wanna know.
Facts
First of all, I am such a fan of R&B music!I love what you all are doing with this podcast! Great job!
J. Valentine pays attention to details & read in between lines well. That’s a critical thinking skill & a great business skill. It’s a great balance with him & Tank.
I need everyone from verzus on here immediately.
Hereeeee😂😂💀 “ohhh ohhhhh ohhhh ooohhhhhh 🤦🏽♂️
@@LecoryTooFunny 😂 Mario was bullying Omarion with the vocals but Tank was right about the run I could've been better
IMMEDIATELY.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YEAH cause we need answers
I love me some Brooke V. She can sing and the ONLY woman I know that wears 5-8 bundles of hair and still looks FLAWLESS. We need some music from her.
I man legit 5 to 8 bundles she must have a very round head under there.
I looooove Brooke! She’s real, raw, and always been true to herself! And can sang her butt off!
best podcast in the RnB Game, now we want Johnta Austin, Ginuwine, Joe, Jon B, Donell Jones, Carl Thomas, please do it for the culture ;) bless up from Tunisia 🇹🇳
And Johnta Austin
"Long as you come home" by Brooke is one of my all time fav. songs
I STILL WEAR THIS SONG TF OUT! And “Covergirl”
I’ve always loved her and hate that she didn’t get as far and big as she should’ve been and I hope she comes out with new music soon. I wish this would’ve been longer and tap into what she’s been up to lately but this was good! Bring her back again for a part 2!!
I’m standing ten toes with you guys!!! I’ve gotten you guys at least 40 subscribers!!! And counting….. stay safe you guys. Stay blessed 🙏🏾🙏🏾
We need a part 2 with Brooke
What 2 women was she talking about in her I ain’t saying no names segment?
This has become my favorite podcast!! Another great episode!! 🤩👏🏾
Yay! Thank you!
Mines too!🥰
For sure lol
I love Brooke she is unapologetically herself definitely need a part 2
COME ON BROOKEEEEEE & represent for the Girls! Thoroughly enjoyed this sit-down w/ Brooke! Tank and J.: You guys' podcast is one of the best podcasts of all-time and much-needed for the culture period. It's always the: Jokes, Laughs & Smiles, & Incredible Storytelling fa mi!
Bless you all!
Jay and Tank with the hoochie daddie shorts 🤣🤣
I’ve never seen Brooke and her hair wasn’t FIRE. She’s gorgeous 😍
I will love Monica on here !!! ❤️❤️❤️
This woman is BEAUTIFUL and always has been!
Y’all created this podcast at the perfect time!!
R&B money shedding light on artists and legends that we hardly ever get to hear from today, and it’s appreciated!
As someone in their early 20s, who’s recently been diving into 90s RnB, it’s awesome getting to hear the stories of the creation of some of RNBs greatest music!
I need to know how Brooke and her family reconciled, that’s wild they all turned their backs on her.
I want to know this too.
We DEFINITELY need a Brooke Valentine part 2!!!!
What 2 women was she talking about in her I ain’t saying no names segment?
Bring her back for a Part 2! I know she has so much more to say. So inspiring and entertaining.
They sitting there looking at me crazy like I’m crazy. 😂😂😂
Mane listen Brooke Valentine is criminally underrated vocally!!! Chain letter was on repeat in high school!
Brooke needs a part 2. She didn’t even get to her love and hip hop days.
Brooke is a fantastic storyteller. The "Saying No Names" was absolutely unexpected. Brook gave the side chick the keys to the studio door that was under her Range Rover. All I can say is don't mess with a Southern girl. Despite her sweet and lady-like voice and smile, she is
capable of being tough and gangsta.
R&B money is the dopest podcast out right now hands down !!! The background info of the artist , the insight , the journey of the artist and the humor is second to none
We need a Part 2 from Brooke. I could listen to her talk for days. We need to hear more
I love Brooke. Knockin doors down made me love her more😂😂😂
Im a real brooke valentine stan. Loved her ever since “long as you come home”. I still remember her mixtape “No More Girlfights” lol. Aaliyah is my fav and she sounds so much like her. The fact that she got signed for doing pop/rock music made so much sense as to why “Chain Letter” sounded like it did. I remember someone referred to it as la meets texas. I feel like the lack of success in her career was due to to bad implementation. They should have pushed “long as you come home” and “cover girl “ as singles to atleast show that she is a real diverse artist with vocal ability THEN put out “girlfight”. Then there would be less of chance of her being lumped into the “crunkNB” trend that was hot at that time.
I really loveeee this podcast. I definitely would like to see a episode dedicated to J Valentine, Tank, and Ginuwine stories 👀
That Say no Names had me kacklin! Brooke don’t play 😊
Bobby Valentino, Brooke Valentine and J. Valentine
I didn’t know much about Brooke before this. I really enjoyed her ! Good job, y’all !
love the meat and potatoes of R&B, always wanted to hear them stories, keep'em coming!
Thank you Tank and JV
First female guest on the podcast, I love Brooke I hope she releases more music
I feel like we need a part 2, this feels incomplete! Great interview!
That's a 🥶 COLD start for a singing career🧊. Bring her back for a part 2. This felt more like a conversation than any of the other interviews. Really enjoyed this episode. Enjoy this podcast
J Valentine said "My name is David Ruffin....and these are the Temptations"😂😂😂
I loooove Brooke lmao, she is a great story teller. I had no idea her introduction to music was so tough, I'm glad she kept at it though!
I was worried about the “I ain’t saying no names” segment cause the the entire time Brooke was dropping names! 😂 This was an awesome episode!! Need a Brooke Pt.2 for sure!
Once again this was a good episode. Bring Brooke back she have more. This that real R&B Money Talk.. Thanks Tank And J Valentine 😍💪🏾💙
I love this episode and I already loved Brooke but I love her even more now that I know more of her story and y’all definitely need to bring her back for a part 2
Brooke is the type that doesn't require input in a conversation. You just sit there and she'll do the rest.
A TGT Episode is needed omg and a MARIO episode please guys please!!! We need Tamia too
Bring her back expeditiously we definitely didn’t get enough! And she is beautiful too lawd y’all gotta invite her back
Her song “Dying From a Broken Heart” is amazing!! Love her voice!
OMG, my mother told me those exact words when I told her that I was moving into commercial driving. She told me that she hoped I would fail. I nearly cried. Today commercial driving has set me on an entrepreneurial path and I have more than doubled my income. You can't beat her calling me to help her pay her bills.
Love that!
Damn this was a good one
I can tell she got more of her story to tell but she was holding back
Tank and J I love this lane for y’all in podcasting we need to celebrate our singers big careers or small ❤
Had to go back and watch the Girlfight video after this. Great editing & cinematography.
Jesus. To be a girl child, I swear. Her origin story was heartbreaking.
Just to hear the beginning of her story was heartbreaking. You gotta be accused of sleeping around because she wanted to sing. So sad. Parents are supposed to pour into their children not tear them down.
@@sweetcherry4282 EXACTLY! I wouldn’t talk to her to this day or we wouldn’t have a good relationship
I’m back, I find it interesting that the men, including Tank, always had men give them thousands of dollars or a whole place to live (Yung Berg) when they were starving artists having hard times, but Brookes story shows that women don’t get that same support from men or women.
Brooke did end up crashing at ol boys place in LA after he finally obliged her, and eventually at a cost (becoming his BM-no disrespect at all). Very telling about interpersonal relationships amongst sexes.
Great interview, again.
And if they do get offers from men, it is usually expected to be transactional.
@@Anisha618 exactly. You see how Brooke had to pay London’s mom $700 to rent a ROOM? Nobody had any mercy on her. She literally had to earn her keep. Hell, at that time, she could’ve gotten her own studio in LA for $700. That was a rip off and I’m annoyed for her.
But Berg was able to crash on his weedman couch, Jamie gave Tank money and let him stay at his mansion, all because they believed in them. They weren’t expecting anything in return or giving them a hard time.
Nonetheless, I love what Tank and J are doing. It gets more and more insightful with each guest and I enjoy the nostalgia.
i hear you But it’s levels to this shit..Remember Tank is a 1 in a 1Million find Talent wise. He’s the General in this R&B thing for a reason!! Very few ppl can do what he does Master Produce songwrite Sing Etc …He’s of a different class the prototype of a different breed that ain’t been found yet. The closest peer he has in the game rn is kells & breezy. It takes a group of ppl/teams to do what he does in the studio!
Prince was a 1 in 10+ Million level talent, Ask anyone who knows how many instruments that man can play or has mastered!
@@jayclearmen411 So what exactly is your argument in regards to what I said? 🙁
The cover photo is giving moisturized! Loving the pod
Her story is so dope , I know she went through a lot to get where she is but her story is a REAL artist story back when you really had to work hard fr and she told it so well I could picture everything she was saying like a movie . Definitely need a part 2
This was one of the most entertaining interviews yall have done. We need more Brooke V! I hope she makes more music she got stories to tell and energy to let off!!! Sis we relate!!!!!!
This was amazing, but y’all have to bring her back for a part 2. It seems like she only shared half of her story. What happened after Girl Fight? How did she get to LHHLA? What is she working on currently?
She needed to be on there for 2 hours b/c like you said, there's more to her story and we didn't get to hear it. I really hope they bring her back
I knew i loved Brooke so much without even knowing her foreal!! This interview just took it to level 10000!! ❤️❤️❤️ i love this podcast y’all keep up the good interviews!!!
Tank and J do a great job balancing the convo into great content and they both have so much knowledge of the business so it all fits keep getting great guests and it will blow D Angelo music Soulchild RayJ let’s go
The door is now open Lmao😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣I always love Brooke❤️great one again ☝️uuuuuuh yea🔉🔊
There can be so many episodes here it’s crazy!. This Podcast could inspire & possibly bring that slow R&B back to the front again, where it belongs.
Excellent episode - she's super dope and charismatic. That being said, sweet Jesus that is one beautiful sister right there.
We definitely need a part two of her story!
So looks amazing still, love her energy and honesty
Long time listener, first time commenter. I love this podcast but this is by far the best episode. ON GOD! Fuck Love & Hip Hop give Brooke her own show.
She is so pretty. We need her in serious modeling. Beauty and fashion. ❤
Brooke definitely got some fire.. 1st she from TX secound she loca af and known that u still gotta find out for yoself 😂😂😂... great interview
Lmfaoooo yeoo🤣😂😂 I kept reading the comments like why do we need a part 2, she’s doing so good at telling her story… but they were absolutely RIGHT! Lmao we need a Pt. 2 !!! I remember being young probably like 10 singing girl fight to the top of my lungs and feeling the energy of that song lol. Love her this was really good!
LOL I love Brooke Valentine. She's such a good time 🤣😂
Really love this podcast. Tank is the best interview I've ever seen on multiple platforms and he is a great podcast host. Here for it.

Dying of broken heart and cover girl are two of my favorite songs of hers!
You have always been on of my favorite artist. You are very much real. I would have too. See the industry doesn't know someone real like that 💯. Love your music ma
When she said “The lack of goals and dreams” speaking about her family I felt that …My whole chooses to stay in Alabama …WHY !??
*family
I loved her story ! 😃 I had no idea she went through that much. I really wanted to know what happened when her fam found out she made it 😕 I'm glad she made it. 😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
