Message to J holiday: several years ago in Detroit Michigan I was working at a nightclub called "Envy"... I was pregnant and looking like I was just about ready to pop😂, but I had to make my coins... So there I was as a bathroom attendant when you came walking through heading to the VIP area. I couldn't believe that you actually stopped, looked directly at me while pointing at my big HUGE belly asking "why are you here?"... I'm not going to lie I was a little embarrassed but Starstruck at the same time... so I replied with "I gotta do, what I gotta do!" .... you then gave me a nod as if you understood and proceeded to your VIP area. Now I'm writing you this because that child is now an 11 year old girl name lyric, that has been hit by the bug of Music and she is amazing. ..So Maybe it wasn't just the fact that I was pregnant & working in a nightclub that made you notice me.. maybe it was actually you noticing a star before she was born! 😊
Dorail Crayton everybody in the music industry is not apart of that. A lot of them are but artists like J. Holiday didn’t sell out b/c if he did, he would’ve still been putting out hit singles like he when he first came into the scene
Nette Parker Mannn im only 24 now from the ATL and ain’t nothing like the quiet storm when it’s storming outside foreal and I had my old alarm clock with the radio knob on it 😢😭😂👌🏾 Memories
He did a lil summn summn, but he wasn't tryna go deeper than wat he had already done. Don't think he DIDN'T do something for the lil fame he did get! He did SOMETHING(S). It's a got damb shame how this 🌎 is set up by evil wicked ppl. U can't make it with JUSS ur talent, u gotta do unspeakable disgusting things to get in the door & excel.
Omnitrix8 unfortunately that’s the side many of us musicians and artist are not versed in At ALL. Some people are business minded, then there are creative arts people then those rare gems who are both.
At the end of the day if your singing for the love of singing join a church...if you are trying to get signed by a label to sell music you are selling an Image it sucks to suck but you have to be a product to the industry until you reach a level to where you can make decisions. Put your time and work in you can’t just ride on the fact that you can hold a tune and maybe dance a little it’s an entire package. 🤷🏽♂️ I have no remorse. But glad he’s doing okay and taking care of his mom
J. Holiday is one of my favorite artist .. but he refuses to sell his soul . I’m actually glad he conducted this interview because he knows the truth .. preach my brother!! 😍😍I love J. Holiday !!
Mannnn , J holiday is sooo slept on!! He has a alot of great songs! fatal, heaven, sing 2 u , run into my arms , don't go , When you get home & a lot more. He will forever be one of my favorite male R&B artist
His momma raised him right, the pimp in him may have died but God resides in his soul and that is all that matters! A real black man to look up too and emulate! I'm still holding down those 2 albums🙌🙏💕💕
Can't imagine bed being sang by anyone else other than j holiday... He's like 80% of why I love that song. His voice and looks and swag were perfect for the song
Diamond Simmons nooo if the industry didn’t suck he would’ve thrived more. Him saying no is what basically got him shelved. It happens all the time when you’re a dollar sign and the people who believe in you are no longer closely involved :(
JordyIsRad eh I guess. I don’t find that entirely true. I think artists rely on labels too much. Labels don’t care about anything but their pay cut. I believe he got discouraged from that, but he wasn’t forced to stop. He even said himself he didn’t wanna be signed anymore, so he wasn’t tied down. Like I said, he was discouraged
I never saw his music as sexually explicit to say the least. He spoke of love and respectful intimacy. No comparison to content of most even in his genre. He was in his own genre of music.
It don't matter if his music was or wasn't super explicit. That dont mean attack people who don't make music like you. He was calm and classy in the interview, but the video he put out be was reckless asf.😂😂 At the end of the day, if yo real issue is with sexually explicit lyrics, why didn't you make your commentary in that video inclusive to male artists whose lyrics are just as explicit if not more. 🤔 instead, he carefully selected female artists to go in on. Either you have the issue, or you don't, you can't pick and choose when you wanna have an issue. That's the only problem I got with what he sayin. 🤷🏿♀️
Humble dude..his morality will solidify his work eternally..and he can be hisself without the " society standards " of cool, in, clout or relevant.. J. HOLIDAY IS 💯
22:00 min... in other words he Could of played on empire but didnt want to push the gay agenda and have to explain his daughter his action . A man with a real backbone
Wow, this man is so humble! I have always loved his 2 main hits but he makes me want to discover the rest of his collection, to support him. He is awesome.
precious west , I wandered what happened to Jon B. I love that hit with him and Tupac (unfortunately, Tupac sold his soul too but it was to late to redeem).
Seems like a really nice guy, humble, and grounded. What touched my heart is when he stayed that the thought of disappointing his mom is what kept him on the straight and narrow. GOD bless you J Holiday.
Keneisha Thomas hahahahah i can imagine!!! Myspace days. Goddd with us changing html codes on our custom-design page! “It’s Yours” was my jam that def made it to my MySpace playlist!
Am I the only one hearing what he said about R.Kelly ? Those girls are not lying J Holiday basically said the same thing about him being controlling etc . 🤦🏾♀️I still love J Holiday 💙
No in my mind I thought he was a pretty boy Porto Rican or something... Never followed him and misjudged him from the few videos I did see on BET. Hell, he's African-American (4 real). Sad I misjudged him that way.
J.Holiday, glad he had a good church spiritual upbringing, it shows a lot about the person he is now! He didn’t sell his soul, and he seems at peace with decision he has made. Ur the real MVP! I still love you!!!!
He is so refreshing. Common sense, self respect, conscience of the things that he do and how it will affect his daughters. He’s a real man. Respect to you young man, and no you are not ugly inside or out. You are a beautiful soul. Much respect❤️
Y'all saying he doesn't look the same but keep in mind, he never really showed much of his face back then. He always had on a hat with the brim really low. So, maybe we're just now finally SEEING him vs. he looks "different". I think he would've been a good fit for Jamal Lyons on Empire though. But I can also understand why he didn't want to accept the role.
Yes! I do agree. I want that ole' J. Holiday, Gerald Lavert, Luther, Teddy, Marvin Gaye soul groove that got us talking about loving each other, standing up for each other, and most of all loving WHO YOU ARE as a person...a human being that deserves love, respect, and quality of life.
*CHRIS BROWN WASN'T THE ONE TO SING THAT SONG ( BED) WAS FOR A GROWN AZZ MAN TO SING* *NO SHADE. TRUTHHHHHH* *J. HOLIDAY'S MENTALITY WAS MORE MATURE,PLUS HIS VOICE WAS PERFECT*
Buck Madoff *BUCK BE QUIET. I'M ENTITLED TO MY OPINION...AND I'M RIGHT. CHRIS BROWN WAS A LIL YOUNG BOY WHO WAS YET TO BE BITING THE HELL OUTTA RIHANNA. HOW IN THE HELL WAS HE A MATURE MAN TO ? TAKE YOUBDOWN AIN'T ABOUT LOVING THE SOUL OF A WOMAN AND MINISTERING TO HER AS FEMININE SPIRIT AND TOPPING IT OFF WITH A BOUT OF LOVE MAKING BEFORE YOU SEND HER OUT TO THE WORLD/ WORK SMILING ON HER SOUL BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE'S LOVED. TAKE YOU DOWN IS YOUNG UN SINGING ABOUT HUNCHING.... DUMMY 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐TRY THAT*
I know, right? Trust me when I say this although I never had "Back Of My 'Lac", I still remember the first time I heard the Rodney "Dark Child" Jerkins banger "Be With Me" and to this day I still love J. Holiday.
Unless they're talking down on black women. They don't want the love frequency between black man and woman. That's why no black man sing about love anymore in mainstream black music
Troy G. That’s because They replaced r&b with pop sh$$. They have devalued our great singers. They only push the money makers now Rap, Pop and Country...
Bruh suffocate is a R&B CLASSIC. One of the best songs that the Dream ever wrote. Truly a great song. Edit: back of my lac the entire album was dope af. Tbh nevrr listend to his other albums but that one was def bumped often.
For me, J made "I won't tell" a hit❤️ "Bed" would not have had the same effect, if anyone else recorded it. It was meant for J, like he said "the stars were aligned". Props to The Dream for writing that hit.
Never knew the dream wrote the record but could def tell it was him looking back on it. J holiday made that song though I remember the first time hearing the song it gave me chills
BET's TH-cam channel is 1000x better than its actual TV channel
I absolutely agree.. Pin this comment BET
i totally agree the real channel is trash now!
It's a damn shame! Putting this kind of content on TH-cam is just straight hustling backwards!

Taneka Bellamy INDEED
Very much so!!

That's exactly what it is, he didn't sell out and kiss ass.

Lol throwback
Quiet storm is my shit
Girl Bed and suffocate was my ish back in middle school. He was one of my fave artists.
They were slow jam bangers no lie...🔥
I am class of 2013.
LMAO 😂
Yasssss!!
Nia Moses yess hits!
"Being in the music industry is like doing time" He is so woke and I like the fact that he stands for whats he believes in!
Mbalenhle Lovejoy seriously it’s sad how these labels have done great talented artist
He didn't sell his soul like everyone else. That's why we don't see him.
Exactly I'm glad he didt it's jus some bs he's amazing n talented love his music
Nene Simmons BIG FACTZ
He move different that the best way record labels are some💩 u can even trust them
Truth!

Shanee Cuevas then the Avant rumor!! Yassss... bring R&B back!!!
Dude you had more hits. Your albums was rolling. Much respect
That entire album really was fire!
Have you heard his album Guilty Conscience? 🔥
For real, I thought the same. Pimp in me- was my jam
I think he means singles
Lashun Richardson back of my lac and round 2 are great R&B albums
He didn't do the rituals. Salute him. There's no denying his talent.
Wym by that
Exactly that was messd up how they did him really
He did a lil summn summn, but he wasn't tryna go deeper than wat he had already done. Don't think he DIDN'T do something for the lil fame he did get! He did SOMETHING(S). It's a got damb shame how this 🌎 is set up by evil wicked ppl. U can't make it with JUSS ur talent, u gotta do unspeakable disgusting things to get in the door & excel.
@@wonderwoman66dp so you think everyone if they blow up they did some ritual? Cmon man stop the bs it’s peiple that got talent
@@yordanoism there's plenty of ppl w/talent. And those that blow up did more than have talent. C'mon wit ur bs if u think otherwise.

2barrelSlim exactly smfh
and that sucks ass... like omg.. he is a jewel in this industry seriously..
Yup..
2barrelSlim I said that too. I'm happy if he didn't. Our soul is very important
On point..99% of individuals who "make it" do. That's why if u don't here of a celebrity anymore than more than likely they refuse to sell out.
"I got daughter's" that's a real real man...YOU don't need that devil money!!! Praise Jah for resilience, persistence for God NOT money!!!

CupCakesNKittyLitter Subscribe to my channel!!! If you want to lol
"It's Yours" was and still my shit🤗❤
CupCakesNKittyLitter factz
He did Number 1 fan with plies and Keyshia Cole
Right
Lesson learned from J. Holiday. Always be true to yourself and your values. Never compromise your integrity for game and fortune.
The business side of the music industry is a horrifying realm.
Omnitrix8 unfortunately that’s the side many of us musicians and artist are not versed in At ALL. Some people are business minded, then there are creative arts people then those rare gems who are both.
A demon realm
Omnitrix8 definitely
At the end of the day if your singing for the love of singing join a church...if you are trying to get signed by a label to sell music you are selling an Image it sucks to suck but you have to be a product to the industry until you reach a level to where you can make decisions. Put your time and work in you can’t just ride on the fact that you can hold a tune and maybe dance a little it’s an entire package. 🤷🏽♂️ I have no remorse. But glad he’s doing okay and taking care of his mom
Yup...part of the reason why i got out of it when i did
I pay child support for 3 kids because of this man..

Devina Watson Fatal is my fave song by J Holiday
J Holiday, Lloyd, Ne-Yo, Usher, Trey Songz were the 2000’s for me.
J. Holiday should've been on the Millennium Tour with B2K, Pretty Ricky and Mario.
& Bobby V
And Chris brown
Don’t forget the dream
@@kingyichi1149 chris brown still relevant stop that lol

He refused to sell his soul which is why his career was so underrated. He is a good guy and he made very good music!
That's right and we love 💕 him for it
Wym by sell his soul?
EXACTLY!! And I’m so glad he didn’t. He’s so talented. It’s like he knows where his talent comes from.
Exactly what I was thinking too
Respect to him.. He stayed true to himself and didn't let the industry change him
Amen to that.
I was way too young to be singing “Bed” as hard as I was 😂😂😂😂 but if he would’ve kept going he would’ve THRIVED!!!
Diamond Simmons same I was 8 but I was still singing it though 😭

Ne-Yo said the same as well when he was supposed to tour with R. Kelly
👀👀 Yeah girl, I peeped that hard lol
Neyo and jay z said the same in the past.
Those hats and du-rag made J. Holiday look like a whole different person
No in my mind I thought he was a pretty boy Porto Rican or something... Never followed him and misjudged him from the few videos I did see on BET. Hell, he's African-American (4 real). Sad I misjudged him that way.
@loyal Johnson personal preference is all. Already apologised somewhat for my ignorance. This was years ago.
The goatee also made him look different

Lol😂groovy groupies..
@@frederickwillis3216 LOL 🤣!! Who ?? I'm all about me. But I can show love from time to time. You one too! 😆😜
@@atlsweet talk that talk 3322007708
Ok then ur talkn bout me .....right??
ALL FACTS
He looks GOOOOOOD! He actually looks younger than when he was in his prime.
Y'all saying he doesn't look the same but keep in mind, he never really showed much of his face back then. He always had on a hat with the brim really low. So, maybe we're just now finally SEEING him vs. he looks "different". I think he would've been a good fit for Jamal Lyons on Empire though. But I can also understand why he didn't want to accept the role.
Exactly, he looks the same to me just older lol
The braids
He gotta play gay how cool would that b if you had to play that role.. no money on hell is good enough for a man to kiss another man unless your gay
For one thing, he's older
Showed his face all the time. New hair and he’s older😳
J Holiday had many hits. I still listen to him today. I still watch his videos. I hope to hear more music from him. He's so talented.
"Be with Me" and " Pimp in Me" are my favorite J. Holiday jams .
Love love love "Pimp in me"!!
Hope he can make a comeback
Rightttt!
I do too
I wish he would come back im tired of how "new artists" sound
Well get ready because this shit got hip hop on life support like really bad like on its death bed

Yes! I do agree. I want that ole' J. Holiday, Gerald Lavert, Luther, Teddy, Marvin Gaye soul groove that got us talking about loving each other, standing up for each other, and most of all loving WHO YOU ARE as a person...a human being that deserves love, respect, and quality of life.
Same 😒
He never left... clearly yall ain't listen to him😪.. yall just don't fw him like u think 😤 ....😂
"Pimp in me" is his best song, hands down
🎯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍
I Love That Songg
J Holiday just kept it 100 . I respect that. We are our own worse enemy.
Kriss 😂😂😂
With all these mixed race kids???
NEVER!!!! God bless your racist little soul 🙏🏽
L Jackson 😂😂😂
@Kriss ur funny lol take that racist propganda elsewhere thanks.
*CHRIS BROWN WASN'T THE ONE TO SING THAT SONG ( BED) WAS FOR A GROWN AZZ MAN TO SING*
*NO SHADE. TRUTHHHHHH*
*J. HOLIDAY'S MENTALITY WAS MORE MATURE,PLUS HIS VOICE WAS PERFECT*
Not true because that was the same year "Take You Down" came out. He was growing with his audience
Buck Madoff *BUCK BE QUIET. I'M ENTITLED TO MY OPINION...AND I'M RIGHT. CHRIS BROWN WAS A LIL YOUNG BOY WHO WAS YET TO BE BITING THE HELL OUTTA RIHANNA. HOW IN THE HELL WAS HE A MATURE MAN TO ? TAKE YOUBDOWN AIN'T ABOUT LOVING THE SOUL OF A WOMAN AND MINISTERING TO HER AS FEMININE SPIRIT AND TOPPING IT OFF WITH A BOUT OF LOVE MAKING BEFORE YOU SEND HER OUT TO THE WORLD/ WORK SMILING ON HER SOUL BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE'S LOVED. TAKE YOU DOWN IS YOUNG UN SINGING ABOUT HUNCHING.... DUMMY 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐TRY THAT*
@@DiamondRubyJewel What's the difference between "Take You Down" and "Bed"?
@@buckmadoff2423 Production, Tone, and DELIVERY... That's what differentiates the two songs and artists
Either way Chris brown is the better artist.... and music is a business... 🤷🏽♂️
Bruhh seriously BET HAS GREAT CONTENT ONLINE VS ACTUALLY WHATS ON TV
c true lol. It’s easier and cheaper to make! No need for advertisements and commercials. Just film and post! Lol like Netflix
They really do. Facts
I wouldn't go THAT far. They're merely copying TVone's formula.
BET on TV is full of reruns.
I was just thinking this
He’s so underrated 🤦🏾♂️
Very mature down to earth respectful grateful humble He won't do anything for clout PERIOD!
I still love J. Holiday's music. He's very underrated. I felt so bad when ol girl asked if he was valet. Lol. The internet is undefeated, man.
She was a prick. The internet are bullies. They know good and well if they ever met him they'd ask for autographs and clout him.
@@NiaMSnow Yeah, the internet is the new playground. A bunch of kids picking on other people.
Lol lol
@@NiaMSnow lmao ain't nobody asking from no damn j.holiday autograph
Back of my Lac' is a good album!
Still in rotation!! 💁🏽❤
I know, right? Trust me when I say this although I never had "Back Of My 'Lac", I still remember the first time I heard the Rodney "Dark Child" Jerkins banger "Be With Me" and to this day I still love J. Holiday.
I agree with you bt you’re a beautiful woman on top of that comment stay blessed love
@@againstthenorm630 who? Me?
Great album... I loved it
Word.... Slept on
Chris was still a teeny Booper in 07 good thing he didnt get Bed. That was a grown man song
🤣
Yeah plus he would have ruined the song
Even at his age today Chris still can't make a grown man record like that. All of his music still has a juvenile feel to it. I really can't explain.
@@asuarezsuarez1554 That’s Not True
He Was 18 He Was An Adult
The record labels never make it easy for these r'n'b singers
Unless they're Non-Black.
Unless they're talking down on black women. They don't want the love frequency between black man and woman. That's why no black man sing about love anymore in mainstream black music
Troy G. That’s because They replaced r&b with pop sh$$. They have devalued our great singers. They only push the money makers now Rap, Pop and Country...
They want division within our communities,so they push that rap mess!
I just gained so much more respect for J. Holiday.... You definitely have my full support. 😘
@Shakita Porter-Hemphill?
Bruh suffocate is a R&B CLASSIC. One of the best songs that the Dream ever wrote. Truly a great song.
Edit: back of my lac the entire album was dope af. Tbh nevrr listend to his other albums but that one was def bumped often.
Suffocate only gets better every year. I heard it the other day and I was like this is a song that will be around forever!
krysis7 hell yeah bro from the melody to the metaphors. Really slept on gem.
J. holiday wrote suffocate. Dream wrote Bed
Brittany Anderson naw the dream wrote both them songs. Well co wrote both i should say. he even talks about it in interviews. 1love
@@brittanyanderson8195 Dream and Tricky definitely wrote Suffocate.
That whole album was dope. More than 2 hits for sure!
@Jasmine Purifoy?
For me, J made "I won't tell" a hit❤️
"Bed" would not have had the same effect, if anyone else recorded it. It was meant for J, like he said "the stars were aligned". Props to The Dream for writing that hit.
miss jackson that’s what I said I don’t think “bed” would sound the same if Chris brown did it. Bed was def made for him
Chris Brown head was so big and still is...he think he can make anything sound great 🤦🏾♀️
I COMPLETELY forgot about that song!!! Such a jam!!!
Lawd cover him! When people want their identity and not being tied to the industry, that's when people start "being depressed" and saying their crazy
Never knew the dream wrote the record but could def tell it was him looking back on it. J holiday made that song though I remember the first time hearing the song it gave me chills
"Pimp In Me" and "Fatal" were my favorite songs by him! I still listen to them now👏🏾
