Y’all need to start a R & B Money playlist, and add the top 5 songs the guest pick every week
this would be dope for each episode and they could include the people they randomly mention too not just the ones they actually worked with
Great idea!!!
🔥idea
Yesss! Mix that in with the guest’s work?! GOLD! Lol
That would be dope!
Dave Hollister - One Woman Man, Brandy - Full Moon, Jimmy Cozier - She’s All I Got - All Mike City classics!!!
Look out for if that's my baby by Rell...and that first Sunshine Anderson album.
I wish Carl Thomas
Yeeeessss!!!!
Omg ALL BANGERS🔥🔥🔥
@@polarbeargaming2758didn't know that
I had no idea who Mike City was but thanks to this podcast, I know now that he's BEEN amazing! Kudos to Tank & J. for knowing everyone major in the industry and sharing with all of us 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Same!
Yes! Agreed!
Most people don't know alot of the Greats in the background, but there's plenty more....
Same!!! And it’s one of my fav episodes so far! This man is a legend!
I love how Brandy named her album "Full Moon" just so Atlantic Records wouldn't be able to remove the record from the album. 🖤👑
That's smart
She found a loop hole... And I'm glad she did
I wonder if we will ever hear the joints Mike City did that got removed from Full Moon?
@@DigginInTheCrates1 don’t know if you heard “Open” from the Osmosis soundtrack but they did that together and it was supposed to be on Full Moon but ended up going on that soundtrack.
Please put out a compilation album of the artists who didn't get on.
I WISH?! One Woman Man?! Heard it All Before?! She's All I Got?! FULL MOON!! SHEESH. Those are definitive songs from early 2000s. Like I'm right back there when I hear all of these. None of these sounds the same but all have awesome lyricism in common. Great to put a face/stories to a name because wow.
See these are the episodes that us R&B nerds love.
Talk that talk king
“They’ll put you in the mighty clouds”💀💀💀 Dat boi J wild 😂😂😂
I hollered!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
😅
R&B money is like new Saturday morning cartoons...salute tank & J
I like that lol. It is definitely fun and informative to take these episodes in.
I came for the “Full Moon” story and left finding out I need a WHOLE Mike City Playlist! ✨👌🏾
this podcast is insane... no podcast going in-depth into the music industry like this! love that yall showing love to the instrumental people behind r&b
I love this R&B Money Podcast! I love the way they are Bringing Attention to R&B Back to the Forefront! 💐⚘👑Happy Saturday EVERYONE!! Have a wonderful weekend! Prayers, Blessings and Prosperity loves!🥰🥰👑👑👑💪🏾🎵🎶🎙💋
This episode was so good! Mike City deserves his flowers he is a "LEGEND " for sure!!👑🐐🥰❤💐💐💐💐🔥🔥🔥🔥
Aside from Chucky Thompson, Mike should be mentioned in the Top 10 music producer discussion. I salute yall for giving him his flowers. My favorite songs he produced are Full Moon - by Brandy, Spend the night - by Donell Jones and You Ain't Right - by Carl Thomas.
You ain’t right was my joint!
If y’all could get Mike City on the show, y’all definitely can get Rich Harrison! There’s no interviews of him anywhere on TH-cam! We need the full story with him & Amerie and the sound they brought to R&B.
Indeed. I'd peep that.
That's not it.
You're confusing Rich "Craft" Harrison with Mike City. Rich Harrison is to Amerie/Ameriie what Timbo was to the late Aaliyah.
Rich Harrison was Mike City's main competitor from the early to mid 00s
like Dave "Jam" Hall was Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins' competition from the mid to late 90s.
@@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY I'm not confusing anyone. My original comment was pointing to the fact that if they could get Mike City on their platform - who doesn't have much interviews, they could get Rich Harrison on here - who doesn't have any interviews online.
@@audiodopebeats but she can’t be openly honest without mentioning Beyonce stole her sound so nah.
facts
Shout out to the tremendous gospel influence in every episode.
The Emotional album by Carl Thomas was life changing. I'm talking about driving my Kia Sportage around Chicago crying in the car and singing LOUDLY Emotional and I Wish about that bucket head boy, lol. Music is everything and transformative. I'm so glad to learn more about the amazing Mike City. Wonderful episode Gents!
❤❤❤ love this comment
I wore that album out!!! I remember seeing Carl Thomas perform at one of the Super Lounges at Essencefest when this album came out!!!! This album stays in rotation!!!!
A lot of these songs came out when I was in elementary & middle school and hearing these stories & knowing his history took me back to some amazing times in life. I met my wife when were 11, so these joints hold a special in my heart whenever we hear them together. Mike City is a legend and his life’s journey is crazy.
This that ol school getting ready for the weekend,headed to the mall, clean up your house,Soul Train type podcast. ❤✨👑
This the one right here 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥💯💯💯💯😂😂😂😂😂🎶🎤💰💵💸
City's top 5 is Marvin, Donny, Aretha, Sam Cooke and BRANDY! wow 💯💯💯
Amazing list!!!
I was a mixshow DJ for WGCI in Chicago when "I Wish" dropped. Elroy Smith was the program director. The rep walked that record in, Elroy played the intro, 1st verse & 1st chorus. Elroy stopped the CD & took it straight to the on air personality at the time & he ran that record right then & there. MASSIVE record! Salute!
Not him name dropping Tanya Blount and I’ve been listening to Through The Rain on repeat all week!!! I love obscure/deep album cut 90s r&b. Y’all should make that a part of your segments, like when D Nice put y’all on to I Know You I Live You by Chaka.
R&B Money Podcast stay giving the architects of R&B music their flowers...I love it! I'm here every single Saturday!
Also Thanks for acknowledging BRANDY! She is one of the dopest artists in our music. 💯💯💯💯
When Mike said “ Tank can be soul singer and RnB “
I thought of Fantasia with Gospel and RnB … then he said Fantasia . I screamed at my TV. 👏👏👏👏👏
As a huge J.Sullivan fan /supporter… I’m loving the recognition she is receiving .
I love this podcast .
"Brandy raised a whole generation of singers"- Mike City, I am right there with you!😉 Another great episode.
PHILLY!!! Mike City is THE guy! And this podcast doesn't get the recognition it deserves!!!
That full moon album will always have a soft spot in my heart. The entire project was a moment!!
This is what us R&B heads love, the behind the scenes/history! Please keep these priceless conversations coming!!
20 Episodes and counting. Congrats Tank and J. This shit keeps getting better and better
I didn't know I needed to see Mike City and realized I've always had Mike City running through my DNA. I LOVE R&B
Will y’all ever do live podcast shows? I feel like that would be a vibe…y’all could throw an old skool RnB party afterwards! Honorary committee person here ✋🏾😁👀
Big facts! I was thinking like they should do a live podcast show and have a panel with some of us real heavyweight R&B fans and get feed back and insight from us too! That would be super dope. Great idea 💜
These are the great conversations we need, the behind the scenes creators!!!! Mike City has created some of best R&B songs!!! Brandy, Carl Thomas, Dave Hollister & Sunshine Anderson is an amazing roster to begin with!!!
Yo the KELLZ impressions are hilarious 😂 😂 #LaDaDaDaDaLa #Vibe
Never knew who was behind the music but "Full Moon" and "One Woman Man" is in my top 5. I run those songs OUT! Dope episode 🙌🏾
“If you need auto tunes, you’re NOT a R&b/soul singer” say it louder pls!!!! 💯
Period
Mike City is a LEGEND in NC. Durham/NCCU & Charlotte always had a pride knowing he was connected to us.
This podcast speaks to the little girl in me who was obsessed with the “lil book” that came with CD’S!!! I immediately wanted to know who made the song.
I get to hear the stories of EVERYBODY I thought nobody knew existed!!!!
I don’t think y’all understand
I’m 43 and I love Mike City’s music! I’d love to see you all interview Rich Harrison too. They ran R&B in the early 2000’s!
"I don't like your attitude" 🤣🤣🤣 Tank is hilarious lol
It’s dope to put a face and some stories to these names I used to see inside of the CD cover!
Keep up the great work, my guys!
Thanks for listening
Episode super dope as always. Mike City is absolutely incredible. Deserves “all of the things!” No lies detected in his 100 Percentness. This man was behind some one the greatest hits in R & B! Y’all continue to have us fiending out here, like we’re literally waiting on the next “hit.” Only, this pod is my drug of choice. Love y’all like cooked food! See y’all next week #MoneyMakers!! 💸💸💸
Nicely put!💰👏🏾❤️
Mike City! This man got hits for real! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 His R&B voltron was top tier! I almost threw my phone when he said Maurice White and David Ruffin!!! His 'I Aint Saying No Names' story shoulda been called 'I Ain't Bout to Say Nothing'! 🤣😂
Love the podcast and to all the people who deserve their flowers, thank you for expressing yourself. Tank and J again thank you too.
This is a true masterclass. Aspiring artists would be remiss not to tune in weekly. These brothers are next level. The business model you are exploring is spot on. Economies of scale, lean cost and no big machine to support will allow the talent to sell itself. Much success in that venture
Had no clue about this gentleman, but I’m glad y’all put me onto him. R&B Money is really a historian course. Thank you
Finally someone is acknowledging MONICA GREATNESS
“But I kept my publishing.” When that nigga smiled and put up his hands…I lost my mind!!!!😂😂😂😭😭😭
Baby his r&b artist that he built is INSANEEEEE😭👏🏽🔥
Miss sunshine Anderson...man the music he (Mike city) has produced will always be played for sure
"I Heard It All Before the Remix" featuring Brandy is insane. What Sunshine & Brandy did together is 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Didn’t know this existed. Gotta go find it now.
@@MO-hn1rz Check it out here on TH-cam. You're welcome.
I love R&B Money Podcast!! These are the people I use to look through the back of the album cover to see who produced albums and songs. This is such a treasure that I didn’t know I needed.
J violated with that grandma joke! Fight back Tank! Fight backkk!😂😭
Oh my! The hits you're responsible for a few of my favorite songs. Dave Hollister, Brandy etc.. You're definitely a beast 🔥. J Valentine, you Sir I recently heard your vocals. I love your tone etc. You're🔥 Not only the songs with Tank, but I found a older song of yours. "She Worth the Trouble stays on REPEAT! I put on a concert in my car or wherever I play it.
Protect this man at all costs!!!!writing “Full Moon” is Mount Rushmore levels of achievement to me!
I’ve been saying that John Legends jacked Carl Thomas style for years! Thanks M. City, for giving mea personal validation that no one else would
Y’all need to have Brandy up there so many have mentioned her album and her as top 5 she needs her flowers 💐
“D Hathaway…he had God in his voice”
✅
It’s episodes like this and Harold Lilly Jr. that make this podcast not just important, but NECESSARY!!! I’ve been fans of both of these guys for 20 years and have never been able to find out anything about them. Thank you for giving a platform to these stories!
Mike City has been a part of some great moments in Music. He's blessed us with so many hits, so many great songs❤
That Kevin Durant story has me ROLLLLLLLLLIN🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂.
I feel you though Tank. You a baller and you need that 🏀!
I was hollering 😅😂
As a producer i really appreciate this conversation, as much as i love music as a whole, RnB/Soul is just a different thing, the enotions that come out of a great RnB song gives the same feeling almost of a great gospel song... love yall for this one 🙌🏾
This is why this podcast is so dope. I love hearing these stories from someone who wrote n produced the songs that defined my childhood. Hes one of my favorite producers and I didnt even know it. I love seeing the people behind the scenes get their flowers
This my Saturday morning show right here 🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥😍🎶🎤💵💸🎉🎉😂😁
The way J gets the guest back makes me holler! I love it
hahahahaah "Lada da da da" J Valentines face when he said that
When Tank said you would get popped in your eye for not going to prayer meeting/church/Revival...
Omg..it's so funny because you HAD to go to church, it was NOT up for negotiation..period!!
Great episode! Mike City was TALKING THAT TALKKKK! It’s vital to usher in the next generation of artists and producers to pass on these gems. It’s also amazing how he can recollect all these details from his early years, I can barely remember my college years from 10 yrs ago… 😂
Let's go! Talk about architects Mike City is one of them ones!
Exceptionally, unequivocally, just at a loss of words to express my heart ❤️ felt ❤️🩹 word's that RandB has meant to our families our lives our journeys in 🧬 life. RandB money has evolved the evolving. Please 🙏 keep us going. Knowledge 😁 is power. 😘 You J Valentine. Talk your shhhh 😉. ✌️
You're the best!
I'm hearing the next chapter of Tank...I see ya!!! A&R executive 😉
LISTENNNN!!!!! I’m from SOUTH MISSISSIPPI.. when you talk about southern soul, we call it blues, you gotta mention Calvin Richardson!!! Letssss goooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m only 35 mins in… and this is R&B Money baby!!!
Right off the rip he mentioned everybody I loved when I was a kid. Mighty Clouds of Joy, Evelyn Champagne King, and Glenn Jones hitting all them high notes!!! Whaaaatt!! And then he said he did Full Moon for Brandy....I'm done..this man is amazing!! It's funny how music touches your life. I remember I met my husband when I Wish by Carl Thomas came out..Lord have mercy..that's good music
Listen to even know the name Maurice White without saying the elements YOU KNOW R&B MUSIC! Shout out to my mama for putting me on early.
💯💯💯. E,W, & F & Maurice White raised me spiritually. My uncle was a HUGE fan of the elements & bought their albums EVERY time they put one out. R.ise I.n P.ower Uncle Snooky. ❤️
last comment (for now) lol: Mike City's spirit is SO contagious!! his excitement radiates throughout the interview. super dope
the industry fears ppl who are *authentically* like that. echoes the "fear of black love* point
This interview contains one of the best explanations of the Brandy vs. Monica conversation I’ve heard. At 1:43:15, Mike explains a clear difference between the two. Long story short, Brandy set the bar for that generation.
Wheeew! One Woman Man is my jam. 🎶💃🏽
J was comin thru wit the one liners today lol!
Tim & Bob: yaaaaas! 🔥🔥❤️❤️
#Kelly Price-We need you on R&B Money podcast! 🙏🏾🥰 This was another amazing meeting of the minds, history/present/future lesson and dropping of the jewels. Much love ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Mike City the legend! 👑
Another great one, I wish I could click the like button twice!!
Tank had me cracking up about women putting money in their bra! My aunt still does this and will look at you and say, "Those the only two suckers you can trust". 🤣😂🤣😂
I'm Hollering 🤣🤣🤣
Carl's voice is like silk!! 🔥 And he thuggy ❤️🤣
Definitely gotta get Tim & Bob on an episode lol
side by side bar, Mike City, your game is so s*****. 🔥🔥🔥
If anyone wants to know what songs Mike City and Brandy have done together, youtube these: Open, Like it was yesterday, Deepest thoughts, Throw it all away, The Jones' and 'Just like Tommy'
I see one of the greatest record companies ever in the making💛💛💛 this makes my heart smile #R&BwillNeverDie
I loveeeeeeed this show. This was my first time watching. I chose this episode to start with because I'm a Brandy stan & know how important Mike City was to the movement. I enjoyed every second of this conversation. I got to meet Big Shiz before he passed and thanked him for blessing Bran with his magic. Can't wait to thank Mike City.
Let me order my breakfast on Doordash, so I can enjoy this episode
You feel me?! That’s how I am everytime an interview drop 😂😂😂🙌🏾
One of #215's finest is in the building. Very happy for this episode. Thank y'all for this ❤️💯.
Real R&B Fans needed this T & J i love y’all for this because i never known this guy City wrote my favorite songs and the conversation is beautiful to the soul & it’s genuine!!!
finally someone has Sam Cooke in their top 5, now I need Etta James somewhere too. Great interview.
Sam Cooke was the greatest. He's in Jeffery Osborne top 5 too
We don’t talk about how much talent and creative energy comes out of philly
That's one of, if not the coldest top 5 lists. You'd be hard pressed to come up with a true R&B or Soul list that could out sing that group 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The playlist I’m creating right now from these R&B artist honorable mentions is about to feed my 51 year old soul…
I have followed Mikes discography heavy but never knew he had such a colorful personality,shout out to y’all for givin him his well deserved flowers
My two favorite R&B producers growing up were Mike City and Rich Harrison because their styles reminded me of hip hop.
My brothers Tank and J.Valentine You’ve done it again. I will say this R&B has been taken over by algorithms instead of R&B Rhythms! Somebody’s frat brother from college gets handed a job that they are not qualified to pick records
R&B Money Literally bringing R&B back to the forefront 💯 Loving the Pod. It was dope to see the man behind this incredible music. Full Moon? One Woman Man, I Wish? 🤯 CRAZY 🔥
Let's not forget Lalah's split voice!! Lalah gets respect from all demographics. She may not have hits, but she has grammies.
And the Boy is Mine is one of my faves!!
Lalah is genius
