    Def Jam had the best rollout for any artist in the 90s if an artist was signed to them, they would get the best marketing and promotion to make them the biggest star they could possibly be. It’s so many talented artists from both the east and west that would of been bigger had they been on that label.

    Loving and thoroughly enjoying this interview‼️He's absolutely correct, Russell Simmons is bizarre‼️It delighted me and was so great for me to hear that he had the same experience that I did when I met Russell Simmons. I met Russell Simmons while I was working for AMTRAK, in Philadelphia at the 30th Street Station in the ticket office. Russell and a couple of guys(one may have been his bodyguard) came to my window to buy train tickets to go to New York and the way Russell was acting while I was trying to find out where they needed tickets to go to. I was, like he said, a bizarre and strange experience I had with Russell Simmons. I met many celebrities while working in the ticket office. I also met his brother Rev. Run and that was a pleasant experience. Don't get me wrong, Russell wasn't nasty or mean, I was just taken by surprise and didn't know what to make of the way he acted. For instance, when he came to my window, he turned his back instead of standing at the window facing me and us looking at each other face to face, his back was facing me which hindered me from being able to ask him what he needed tickets for‼️That was the way our interaction began‼️I also want to co-sign what he said about ordering water at a restaurant and asking for lemons to make lemonade‼️I do the same thing and have been doing it for years‼️OK MONTELL‼️YOU'RE A GREAT ARTIST, GREAT TALENT AND ONE OF MY FAVORITES ‼️May God continue to bless you and your family🙏🏿👍👏👏🔥🔥🏆⭐️🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️🤍❤️🙂

His music brings you in and his love for the Lord and everything that God has annoited him with will make you stay. I just have one issue, pretty small but still.... He didn't perform Something for the honeyz at his last show. That's my favorite song of his and i understand it was overshadowed by the hit song but you would've made our night and weekend. Lol All good. I can't wait until the next show. I'm more than likely to join his church, too.

    Thank you so much Montell for the IRS master class!
    I have often wondered, how is it that some entertainers end up with tax issues? Even if they have an accountant don’t they verify every transaction, income/expenses, etc. to make sure that the accountant recorded accurately? Do some entertainers not schedule a day or two to sit with the accountant to prepare their taxes together? That way they’d know exactly what is being included.
    I am nowhere near the tax bracket of an entertainer, but my mother taught me how to keep track of everything I earn and all of my expenses. She also modeled for me how to go to an accountant for professional help to process my taxes. Yes, it takes the accountant and I a few hours, but together we check and double-check everything before I sign and submit my federal and state tax forms.
    I wonder, if some entertainers just leave everything up to their accountants? That would make me so very uncomfortable.
    Just thinking out loud…

The only thing I would contest would be the claim to have started the sing rapping style. Bone Thugs came out in 93 while Montell came out in 95. While they sound nothing alike, Bone pretty much put that style out 1st. Vlad bring Montell back!

    "It makes no sense that an adulterer can help marriages stay together."
    Actually, it makes perfect sense; he's been there, done that, learned from it and now wants to share his experiences with others in hopes they won't make the same mistakes he has.
    Also, it's incredibly refreshing to watch an interview in which the subject is actually allowed to talk and share whatever they've got to say without being interrupted by the interviewer every few words or sentences.

    14:00 Montell wasn’t the only one that came out the church. Many people don’t know that K-Ci and Jojo was Little Cedric(k-ci)and the Haley gospel singers before they were Jodeci!
