'Don't Take It Personal', 'Before You Walk Out Of My Life', 'Like This And Like That', 'Angel Of Mine', 'The First Night', 'The Boy Is Mine', 'So Gone' - *MONICA IS TIMELESS*
I'm gonna always take up for Mo. One, she's touring, nonstop, really singing. Um she's flawless in person. She was genuine in person, didn't have any aires, just a cool girl. I love her voice. I love her personality, shoot she's human. Thanks Monica for being cool, treating me like a friend not a fan and not even knowing me. Thanks Tay!
Her articulation & constant wisdom gained shines in many interviews. She just impresses me with the acknowledgment of her imperfect humanity and her "real" ways that don't disappear because of her public profile.
Dang this was deep. Monica is very wise for her years and she has no time for negativity--that's why she is blessed. I look forward to her doing well. #legendspanel
+radiant vonda Robinson me too..Scorpio. And we all have these traumatic lives that we totally should document but for me,Im like dang I have go back into the past,ugh forget it. I'll just live my life
Beautiful spirit. Can see she's had a long day but Mo ultimate pro and was very relaxed here. Good job Nessa and HOT97. Album is so cool and varied RnB dash of hip hop and hints of pop great vocals
***** I know how to talk to women, that's the least of my problems, when I said "I wish Monica was my mother" I said that because she gives her kids hope and she's a good parent. You don't see that now in days. That's on some real shit though
Monica has done a great job with switching it up on this album. She's still singing her heart out but it's more upbeat and doesn't sound as dated as her last album. #CodeRed!
This lady inspires me more and more everyday. Her music speaks to me. I'm young but I'm more of the oldies/soul type of person, all these new songs from these artists now is just so hard to get comfortable with.
Handz down Monica & Brandy are a perfect team 4 a collaboration,i thank they should do a full album together wit Rodney (Dark Child Jerkins)as producer
+DreThomasMusic I'm just glad she's the type that's not afraid to show that & be who she is. We need more of that. SN: I'm anxiously waiting for my copy of #CodeRed to download to my phone.
Hey Monica I think code red is a good album you're right about some of the things on that and how are some of the music on it I love it appreciate you and I hope you keep bringing more so continue to do what you do and see you down the road good godspeed and I pray for you
+manug20dt3 That's straight-up cold-blooded! You couldn't even make it 3:07 into the video to hear about the Brandy story? Haha! More specifics at 5:00 - 5:46 Ciara mention at 15:07 But Nessa interviews are a painful experience.
+Truly Zambian thank you! I only clicked this because I saw Brandy's name. Monica could have been more lively too and maybe, just maybe I woulda made it through but the two of them together....zzZZ
+manug20dt3 Well giving the fact that she just completed a 23 city promo tour and has been doing interviews and talk shows promoting the album. Lack of sleep will do that to you so she has a right to be tired.
maybe the cd just came out like the hour b4 the interview becuz i cant see anyone being as big a fan as she seems to be and not listen to the album b4 interviewing Monica. Personally i couldnt get my hands on code red quick enough so i jus cant see it. Love how respect seems to be demanded when Monica speaks. Very powerful young lady. I do however get a sense that either she is tired from all the promotion and interviews or there's some tension in the room. Monica has so much class one couldn't say for sure.
Monica im so proud of You!! Congratulations my heart goes out to you you top my charts just to see you stay so postive in the falling world.. Keep your eyes on the prize!! read psalms 103:10
Man.....I wish people idolized her, not Cardi. Or Lauryn, not Nicki. I just miss this vibe yooooooo 😩😩 where did it go? These women showed me how to grow into a classy respectable woman 🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you
Just my opinion - But R&B is not as respected is because it's become too hip-hop I mean her lead single "just right for me" has Lil Wayne and a sample of Smokey Robinson and The Miracles. Sorry but Sampling and a rapper guest starring on the track makes the music Hip-hop, not R&B Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, who she sampled - that's real R&B Monica released a great album but it's difficult for me to look at it as R&B with the samples and rappers in her music. That's hip-hop. her music and what the media considers R&B is hip-hop to me.
The hell it ain't. It's hip-hop. Having Lil Wayne, Future, Wiz Kalifah, 2 chainz, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, Drake, ETC rap on your song, that makes the song a hip-hop collaboration Having a sample of an oldie also makes the song hip-hop I mean back in the 80s, Rap wasn't called "Hip-Hop", it was called "Rap" and it was known for sampling. What other Genre's were using samples in the 80s when it sampling started out? None It wasn't until the 90s when sampling took over what was considered "R&B" that the term "Hip-hop" came around hell Sampling's even crossed over into Rock, neo-soul, and Pop because Fall Out Boy, Jessica Simpson, Angie Stone, and Mariah Carey have used samples Jezz, can anyone compose original music anymore? It's only a matter of time before Dolly Parton sings over an Isley Brother's sample
***** I'm 33 so i grew up in the 90s. and was co-raised by my aunt who basically knew all the real R&B artists that were being sampled. She introduced me to a lot of older stuff i know SWV had Wu-tang on a remix of "Anything", which also had samples. but see, WuTang and samples - That makes the song hip-hop, not R&B. See, back in the 80s, sampling was a rap thing. and Rap was called Rap then. It wasn't called hip-hop until the 90s, the same decade when rap was infused into R&B. And I'm not saying the music sucks either, because I do listen to it. But i just don't feel like calling it R&B. it's hip-hop to me. I know plenty of people who were in their 40s and 50s in the 90s who lost a lot of respect for R&B in the 90s when they intertwined it with hip-hop. it's been an ongoing problem. It's just not a problem for most of us under 40 since we grew up in the 90s and it's what we're used to.
and another example - Tinashe. She has a song called "player" Where Chris Brown raps on it. it came on a music choice R&B station for me last night. first time i heard it. but he's talkin' about bitches and she's talking about "you got me fucked up" And it's labeled as "R&B" Sorry but it's ridiculous to put that in the same category as The isley brothers, marvin gaye, aretha franklin, patti labelle, isaac hayes, etc
There was no boy, people. It appears most people can't distinguish between the fantasy and reality in pop culture. Music, films and so on is about huge corporations making profits. That's it.
Being Black doesn't make you R&B and quite frankly, the youth have been lied to about what R&B really is. It's definitely not the weekend and it's most certainly not Drake. If you know R&B, you feel it and recognize it when you hear it. I don't know if peoples parents aren't sharing R&B music with their kids or what?? It's not that confusing.
No R&B is not in a good place! Drake is not an R&B artist. The other people you named makes songs that are hits for the moment, but are not timeless records that have depth and meaning. Can you imagine listening to some of these songs 20+ years from now, and thinking about what was taking place in your life at that moment.

This is not a hood album. Its topics sung about in a classy manner. If you dont like this album then you are narrow minded, unemotional, and just a rachet person. 😂😂😂😂😂lol. yes rachet
I totally agree with monica with focusing more on the positive instead of the negative,because negative really is a distraction that'll keep you away from all the good stuff out there.
Kristopher Davis Who gives a fuck? Obviously you do. You took time out of your day to reply to a comment you don't "give a fuck" about. Lmao you clowns on UA-cam are not only so predictable, but you seem to negate logic and common sense when creating posts. Of course you would comment though. You're lonely in life so that's expected. And if you're not lonely, then you're just pathetic. Either way you're a waste of air.
I don't really like that Timbaland Opera shit.. Throws my interests off a lot of the songs on her album. Tim is kind of played.. And she should of just made him produce and not do features especially that excessive. "All Men Lie" is dope but his ass singing.. "I know the grass ain't greener on the other side" was IRRITATING
What I get from this is that Monica doesn't feel as if these artists out now are doing their job and giving us that good ol' R&B. Shots fired? I don;t think so, but people view things differently. At the end of the day, every artist should be focused on being at the top of their game.
+Cameron Lockhart I guess it's safe to say Adele is down with the Illuminati. Smh. Seems like anytime someone gets major success, they're always a "member". Lol
I totally understand what monica is saying regarding music but these kids of today will never get that. Im not putting this generation down but i feel liek no matter how the 90's artist will try they will loose coz these kids dont wanna hear no love story all they do is fuck. Thats why i dont like chris brown records coz he aint teaching the kids what relationship is all about. Back in the day u respected your women, your boyfriend , you knew what love was by hearing those song..
the host said why are you putting out an album you don't have to????? perhaps this is what singers do.. when you interview please learn some techniques.

It's impressive how thoughtful and classy she is. Her energy is refreshing.
I love this interview, its so heart felt. I wish Monica was my mother lol. She's such a great person and this is rare that people are like this.
***** this has nothing to do with my mother, I love my mother unconditionally. I'm saying it would have been cool if she was my mother.
***** k
fek u 😂😂😂😂
***** I know how to talk to women, that's the least of my problems, when I said "I wish Monica was my mother" I said that because she gives her kids hope and she's a good parent. You don't see that now in days. That's on some real shit though

No disrespect, but she looks tired (sleepy), but she still looks FLAWLESS as usual! #TeamMo
She just came off of at 23 city tour and she's been promoting all week. I'm sure she is a little tired.

Can somebody id the interviewers shoes?

So true
well no because it is still r&b even with a rapper on a track sometimes rappers bring more life or spice into a song
with their flow
The hell it ain't. It's hip-hop.
Having Lil Wayne, Future, Wiz Kalifah, 2 chainz, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, Drake, ETC rap on your song, that makes the song a hip-hop collaboration

Isn't that the robe she was giving away at wendy Williams
I just don't understand how the camera crew forgot to move Monica's iPhone and purse out of the shot...
Monica is like; Mary lil sis. MJB RKelly the King
Mary the Queen
There was no boy, people. It appears most people can't distinguish between the fantasy and reality in pop culture. Music, films and so on is about huge corporations making profits. That's it.
O like Monica because she is real.some hate her for that , But I live her realness
R&b is in a good space it's just a different sound, PND, kehlani, Bryson tiller, Drake, the weeknd, etc
Being Black doesn't make you R&B and quite frankly, the youth have been lied to about what R&B really is. It's definitely not the weekend and it's most certainly not Drake. If you know R&B, you feel it and recognize it when you hear it. I don't know if peoples parents aren't sharing R&B music with their kids or what?? It's not that confusing.

The weekend is pop not R&B....
***** its a different type of r&b, its not contempary
I adore Monica She is so chill But Brandy is My Homegirl
still beautiful.
Other people should remake it
This is not a hood album. Its topics sung about in a classy manner. If you dont like this album then you are narrow minded, unemotional, and just a rachet person. 😂😂😂😂😂lol. yes rachet
I totally agree with monica with focusing more on the positive instead of the negative,because negative really is a distraction that'll keep you away from all the good stuff out there.
I'm not feeling her new music at all but I still love her.
+JReel17 This new album might change your mind. It's not the typical Monica album we've gotten the last few years.
Who gives a fuck
Who gives a fuck
Kristopher Davis Who gives a fuck?
Obviously you do. You took time out of your day to reply to a comment you don't "give a fuck" about. Lmao you clowns on UA-cam are not only so predictable, but you seem to negate logic and common sense when creating posts.
Of course you would comment though. You're lonely in life so that's expected. And if you're not lonely, then you're just pathetic. Either way you're a waste of air.
I LOVE Monica but the album is awful, with forgettable songs. Alot of the fans don't like it.
Why in the world would they remake their own song? That makes no sense.
When she says "Li Li" does she mean Aaliyah?
I don't really like that Timbaland Opera shit.. Throws my interests off a lot of the songs on her album. Tim is kind of played.. And she should of just made him produce and not do features especially that excessive. "All Men Lie" is dope but his ass singing.. "I know the grass ain't greener on the other side" was IRRITATING
What I get from this is that Monica doesn't feel as if these artists out now are doing their job and giving us that good ol' R&B. Shots fired? I don;t think so, but people view things differently. At the end of the day, every artist should be focused on being at the top of their game.
+hotlanta1979 I'm still trying to figure out why Adele is so popular. She's talented but highly overrated.
+NycPretty Tay I thought the same thing, I like Monica's new album more than adele new cd l, But there both very talented.
+Cameron Lockhart I guess it's safe to say Adele is down with the Illuminati. Smh. Seems like anytime someone gets major success, they're always a "member". Lol
I know right
+NycPretty Tay No, Adele is white, they won't say it's the Illuminati....it's her talent, lol
I totally understand what monica is saying regarding music but these kids of today will never get that. Im not putting this generation down but i feel liek no matter how the 90's artist will try they will loose coz these kids dont wanna hear no love story all they do is fuck.

Back in the day u respected your women, your boyfriend , you knew what love was by hearing those song..
Noo its the same wig. She just turned it to the side😱
😂😂 shady bootz
the host said why are you putting out an album you don't have to????? perhaps this is what singers do.. when you interview please learn some techniques.
Monica is pretty
