I remember back in April of 2010, Kendrick tweeted that he was in Detroit and performing at The Shelter (where the real 8 Mile battles took place) which is in the basement of Saint Andrews for $20 tix. Him, Q, and TDE were on a promo run for Overly Dedicated. My boy and I were working on my first mixtape, and decided to take a break that day from recording. I saw that tweet and said let’s pull up. We got there and went to Sweetwater Tavern to get some wings across the street from the venue, and Kendrick & Q happened to be in the booth behind us. We didn’t notice until they left though. When it was time to perform, no lie, there was about 10 or 11 people in TOTAL in there and they both rocked that shit like it was 10,000. No ego. Even after the show, Kendrick & Q stuck around and kicked it with everyone until it was time to go. I’ll never forget that experience. Over those next few months, he blew up like crazy and his fanbase grew phenomenally. Punch talking about them in that grind period is so poignant. They definitely put in the work fasho so it’s amazing to see where they are now.💯
Was waiting on a SiR mention because of his pedigree, family origin & the bodies of work he’s put out over the last few years🙃 it would be great if yall could have him on. Esp with the work he, his brothers and cousin have done with Tyrese
Oh this was definitely needed because SZA is a phenomenal talent and what Punch has done with TDE is remarkable and also this perfect timing...facts or real life facts?
Y’all have no idea how grateful I am for this podcast. Thank yall so much. Hearing these stories remind me to keep going and that nothing happens overnight. I’m an independent artist with no team doing everything on my own and I get exhausted sometimes but I keep going because something inside me won’t let me stop no matter how hard it gets. This show is needed. Thank yall so much.
I love that every guest always complements Tank and J for what they are doing for R&B even though the platform is for giving the guests their flowers, they always give some back too❤️❤️❤️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🔥🔥🔥
My dad played the Temptations on every long car ride, 80’s house parties/BBQ’s w/his Air Force friends, remember dancing w/him when I was 4 to the Temptations, etc. So nostalgic! RIP to my best friend, my daddy! ❤🙏🏾🥹
49:00 that story he told about a suicidal girl telling Kendrick his song saved her life changed not only them but the tde music label. TDE will live forever..
Amazing interview. Love interviews from individuals like Punch. These are so crucial. Not too many people like him. Key component to the culture and music as a whole. Filled with integrity, principles and values. Love it.
I learned a lot about artist development and branding. Another insight was that to succeed in the music business, you have to think strategically. Also, when ending a partnership, you should "pat down" to ensure you leave with what is rightfully yours. This principle aligns with the biblical idea of leaving with the spoils.
45:10 "That room is connected" 🙌 I felt that. J is preachin sometimes and don't even no it. He's not even trying. Lol Always dropping gems. Its appreciated though.
Not mentioning SiR during the “current R&B” conversation is WILD. Let’s not forget - Xavier Omar, Durand Bernarr and ELHAE. Yall gotta revisit that conversation
1:20:57 yea I think artists that make music for themselves have lasting careers. That’s why I love artists like SZA, Ari Lennox, Jazmine Sullivan.. their music comes off authentic & they have great music taste.
Can you move the time stamp to the bottom of your comment? I can't check the comments without it skipping to this part. I have to keep searching for where I was after checking the comments.
This episode was very inspiring especially people wanting to start labels!! And yes Tank!! ...I'm mad taco bell got rid of those caramel apple empanadas...I use to crush those!!
Capella grey is definitely filling that spot in New York right now. He’s got everything…waiting for him to fill arenas. His career is gonna blow like sza’s for sure
I remember when the CTRL tour tickets went on sell. Instantly sold out! I was so hurt. I feel like even during the CTRL era, SZA could’ve done bigger venues. Idk about arenas but definitely bigger. Her demand was extremely high after CTRL dropped.
TDE has some of the baddest on their roster, still. That's undeniable. It's definitely an artistic label. Nobody has that vibe quite like them. Obviously PG because Kendrick and Dave are cut from the same cloth but you know what I mean.
I'm glad he talked about the time they had with Tech N9ne. This is when I met Kendrick Lamar. I was backstage at one of those Tech and E-40 concerts in Fresno. Me and Kendrick talked for a little bit and then he gave me his Section 80 project. This is when I was barely starting to do music and I immediately played that album on the way home from the show. I was like oh yeah whoever this is. He is going to be next up for sure. Then litteraley a year later I couldn't stop hearing about Kendrick Lamar. His feature with Tech N9ne I Love Music was a hit for me. I was like damn I can't get away from this dude ever since I met him lol. I hope he does a song with my cousin Syd Da Kyd (Syd from The Internet) at the time is what I thought. TDE keep doing the damn thang.
Damn y’all keep bringing it. And there’s a tour? Get the hell outta here!! Proud. J I been watching you come up since Newtron. “My heart” solo and all. Same wit Tank. Smh y’all “dope” man. Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good
It would be funny to have some random fans be interviewed with R&B Money Podcast. Get the fans view of R&B. To get their story and how they fell in love with R&B. Get a fans top 5 and no names story. I think that would be interesting to watch.

🔥🔥🔥
What a wonderful story you told it so well.

@@timothyburke3971 man, I been in LA for the last 5 years and I would give my right arm for some sweetwater wings and garlic fries
Was waiting on a SiR mention because of his pedigree, family origin & the bodies of work he’s put out over the last few years🙃 it would be great if yall could have him on. Esp with the work he, his brothers and cousin have done with Tyrese
Sir is single handedly holding r&b on his shoulders forreal !!
Absolutely NEED SiR on here
Was so surprised they didn’t mention SiR, so wild
Me too , I came to the comments just to see if I missed something?
durand bernarr is a male rnb artist that is really talented as well, though he's not as known as SiR
Oh this was definitely needed because SZA is a phenomenal talent and what Punch has done with TDE is remarkable and also this perfect timing...facts or real life facts?

Punch is like an Oracle 🙏🏾✨

Punch interviews never disappoints
J. Valentine, I asked my 15 year old what he would play for his girl and he said “My Heart Belongs to You” Jodeci. I’m so proud!
I love Punch and Top TDE ❤❤❤❤❤
49:00 that story he told about a suicidal girl telling Kendrick his song saved her life changed not only them but the tde music label. TDE will live forever..
Positivity never negativity! You gotta love this Podcast! Thank you, R&B Money and Crew!!
J cole talks about the Diddy fight on his track "let go my hand "
Amazing interview. Love interviews from individuals like Punch. These are so crucial. Not too many people like him. Key component to the culture and music as a whole. Filled with integrity, principles and values. Love it.
“ What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear”
Thank you for telling the Control verse story Punch 😭😭😭😭😭
Right 🤣
cole and diddy right
yooo this the only reason why i came to the comments
Are you sure hes not talking about "Like That"?
Thank you for this conversation, much respect and big blessings!

True!
J valentines really loves new Jack city😂😂
😅❤
So R&B money podcast ain’t talk about the male R&B TDE artist SIR?
My thought exactly
Maybe he’s on the list of upcoming guests
That is pretty wild fr
@@malikradford but not a mention I understand how big SZA is but SIR dropped two great albums under TDE most recently this year
I just commented this. And towards the end they discussed current male rnb and didn’t mention him. Weird
Pat down is some universal hood message...😂
Happy Saturday R&B Money!!! Thanks for another one! "I'm good money - I know!" LOL Luh ya'll!
One of the best pods out! 💯 some of most talented artists droppin jewels to the game and jokes all in one!
Punch's top 5 songs were the truth. I'm born & raised Motown. Big ups.
I Aint Saying No Names is definitely about Kendrick 'Control and J.Cole's and Diddy's fight.
Dope interview! Missed a few shots (SiR, Zachary, Doechii raps and sings) interesting.. part II maybe??!!?! 🤔 Stull the best podcast in the game!
These two R&B guys are the best interviews in the game...bar none.
Shoutout to Punch for picking the songs on the Sun tirade, Damn and Redemption plus Oxymoron can't forget about Herbert.✌🏼
Dope seeing Punch get some shine and tell the back story!
When Tank slaps the keys in the top 5 intro, it slays me everytime! 😂😂😂
1:43:28 for Sir to not be mentioned in the R&B conversation… is he not TDE still?🤔
A few TDE artists weren't mentioned
Not mentioning SiR during the “current R&B” conversation is WILD. Let’s not forget - Xavier Omar, Durand Bernarr and ELHAE. Yall gotta revisit that conversation
Durand is on TDE?
Damn that Climax puts my in a place. Every time it’s mentioned, I have to sing it in my head…❤❤❤ that song!!
Happy Saturday Money Makers. Let’s GOOOOOOO!!!!
1:20:57 yea I think artists that make music for themselves have lasting careers. That’s why I love artists like SZA, Ari Lennox, Jazmine Sullivan.. their music comes off authentic & they have great music taste.

That SZA- Snooze, maaan I'm still listening to this song. And the one with Justin Bieber acoustic guitar. Yeah!
This episode was very inspiring especially people wanting to start labels!! And yes Tank!! ...I'm mad taco bell got rid of those caramel apple empanadas...I use to crush those!!
Great job as usual, fellas 🔥
Appreciate it!
Blessed to have meet some of the team and been in the Carson studio, and the van was still there at the time lol. Legendary stand up legends 🙌🏾
Tank jokes be wild but I love them 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
He’s hilarious 😂😂
Tank unlocked a core memory with the Frutista Freeze 🤣🤣
I really enjoyed this interview.
Me too!
I wanna say so much. But this is phenomenal space. Great show ya'll
Great interview! Punch is dope! Shout out to SZA super dope also shout out to SiR another dope R&B artist on TDE
Y’all gotta bring Sir on, i thought fasho y’all was going to ask about him
Capella grey is definitely filling that spot in New York right now. He’s got everything…waiting for him to fill arenas. His career is gonna blow like sza’s for sure
I remember when the CTRL tour tickets went on sell. Instantly sold out! I was so hurt. I feel like even during the CTRL era, SZA could’ve done bigger venues. Idk about arenas but definitely bigger. Her demand was extremely high after CTRL dropped.
Punch’s I Ain’t Saying No Names was so obvious 😂 iykyk
Diddy ish lol
Pretty little bird by SZA is art 🔥
He said he telling the truth even when he not 😂😂😂😂😂 IM DEAD BUT I FELT WHERE HE WAS COMING FROM
TDE has some of the baddest on their roster, still. That's undeniable. It's definitely an artistic label. Nobody has that vibe quite like them. Obviously PG because Kendrick and Dave are cut from the same cloth but you know what I mean.
All respect to TDE

Love this guy!

It would be funny to have some random fans be interviewed with R&B Money Podcast. Get the fans view of R&B. To get their story and how they fell in love with R&B. Get a fans top 5 and no names story. I think that would be interesting to watch.
