I'm a former radio personality. I saw Millie Jackson open for the Isley Brothers at the University of Dayton Arena back in the late 70's or very early 80's. She literally stole the show!!! On that particular night the legendary Isley Brothers got by on respect, and a massive catalog of hit records. But as far as showmanship, and stomping a stage is concerned, Millie should have closed that show! I have so much respect for her work! She was Hip Hop, before Hip Hop was ever thought about.👑💖
Great story---Thanks @NickBusbeeFunkSchoolRadio for sharing. I saw her in Atlanta, years ago!!!! her daughter with her....... nice treat!! Also had her dVd but I guess those are a thing of the past.... still thinks she's great!!
I am screaming 😆 🤣 😂 my parents played Millie Jackson and though I was innocent and didn't know what I was singing, I sung the lyrics with passion at 5 years-old 🤣🤣🤣
Mother and daughter look exactly alike. It's amazing. I would love to hear the difference of Ms. Millie career vs the more radio friendly careers who gained greater popularity. Her story has got to be awesome.
I had all the Millie albums in high school....I now have all the music on CDs... Would love to see another live show.. Millie can work the mic and the stage..💯🔥👍 This is a frugal podcast, they don't give the guests water bottles.🙄 The original female GOAT..
Great to see Ms. Mille Jackson. Betty Wright and Millie Jackson were two amazing funky soul artist. We couldn't touch those albums in my parents house or else. The 60s and 70s music was the best.
Always loved Millie! Saw her performance with Paul Mooney opening at the Total Experience Nightclub in L.A. back in the day (the night Chaka Khan was in the audience)! She was amazing. Thank you Questlove for this interview.
I was at the Atlanta Airport waiting for a layover flight, and I saw Millie. I straight fangirled!!! I wanted to walk over to her, and one of her band mates said "yeah, you can go over to her"!!! I was like 😮☺️🥰, and she was so warm and approachable, and she made an awesome comment about a pair of boots I had on... A day I will NEVER forget!!!
Millie Jackson was ahead of her time. She was bold and sassy nasty all alone for years. Lil Kim, Nikki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion & Cardio B don't even know she's the Blueprint of what they doing now. Homage is due to Ms Millie Jackson 👏🏽👏🏽
..could not have said it better. Im pretty sure Lil' Kim and Fox' know her..Ive even heard Kim tip her cap to Millie. But them other ones?...nah..they wouldnt know Millie unless somebody introduced her to them. And at the end of the day, THEY NEED TO KNOW HER..AND BOW DOWN, FOR REAL.
Millie said that back in the day, they wouldn't allow allow her to sing "A Child of God" because it has the word "God" in it, so she ended up singing a Gladys Knight song instead. 🤣
that song is a protest song. And it is JUST AS RELEVANT as Mayfield's "People Get Ready"...or Nina Simone's "Young, Gifted and Black" or "Gil Scott Heron's "the Revolution Will Not Be Televised".
This interview would've been greater if not for all the talking heads on the right. No need for so many cohorts especially when they take away from the interview. Alas, Millie is A LEGEND!!! I could listen to her stories for ages.
My parents would not allow us to listen to Millie because it was for adults only. We knew she was off limits, when I became an adult I bought Mille's clean audio tape. I loved every song. I still quote to younger people and others that love is a dangerous game to play when you are not playing by the rules. Then let them know that's a Millie Jackson song. 💖
What she said about the 2 year old song being nominated at the Grammys was deja Vu 💯! NO hate on Aretha, but now I understand why celebrities boycott. loved this 🖤🌟
Let's give Millie Jackson HER props. Don't erase her agency as a WOMAN with this "non-binary" whatever ish! This ONLY happens with pioneering (and often underrated) WOMEN. You don't see a bunch of folks erasing MALES this way. It's not inclusive.
Millie Jackson is a beast! My dad loved her music and played it often.......I can remember hearing I know you gotta chick on da side goddammit I know you gotta chick on da side.....
@@nyotauhura5646 correct however on Millie’s live album before she sings the Phuck U Symphony, she shouts out TPS who were in the audience at that show and she sings the chorus , so the commenter could very well recall Ms Millie singing chick on the side 💜
My mother used to be a big Millie Jackson fan, so when her tour came to our midwestern town, my mom got front roll seats to the concert for her, and my 18-year-old cousin. My mother said she picked my cousin out of the crowd and insulting him. The next day my mother threw away all her Millie Jackson albums and told us what happened. After watching this I realize she is known for her foul mouth, so I don't know what my mom was thinking taking my cousin with her.
QL and Ms Millie had smoke, that's why. Kiesha provided a bit of reel-in for her momma. Folk were walking on eggshells with this interview. Anything could have happened. Ms Millie is a legend both in music and in personality.
PHONTE IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER IM THE NIGGA THAT WAS AT THE SIGNING AT RASPUTIN RECORDS OR AOMEBA RECORDS IN BERKELEY BACK IN 2005 WHERE I HAD ALL OF THE JUSTUS LEAGUE CD'S AND YOU WAS LIKE OH SHIT HE GOT ALL OF OUR SHIT INCLUDING THE MIXTAPES

Yes she was
My oldest sisters took our family friend and Pastor to a Millie Jackson concert and our Mama was appalled but Rev. absolutely loved it.

I love Millie Jackson 🤩
Ms. Jackson did not understand how the roll call worked & got hot. 😂 That was adorable. Love love love her.
😂 she was ready to fight.
Glad to see Ms. Millie. She is OFF DA CHAIN !!! Love Phonte. He's a bad brotha !!!

She’s An Underrated Genius

I love Millie Jackson her For Men Only Album is so underrated it is MASTERPIECE

Lovers & Girlfriends is a classic Millie track.
A MUST LISTEN!
OMG ..2 of my favorites! Ms Millie Jackson and Ms Keisha Jackson
Millie Jackson was ahead of her time. She was bold and sassy nasty all alone for years. Lil Kim, Nikki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion & Cardio B don't even know she's the Blueprint of what they doing now. Homage is due to Ms Millie Jackson 👏🏽👏🏽
Absolutely

Millie Jackson DOC would be instresting!
VERY
All of these chicks claiming to be the queen of rap, you are looking at the QUEEN of Rap!!!!
"All The Way Lover" is my ish too and on constant airplay
First time I have seen milliie jackson since the 70s, she used to rock the house
I love you Millie Jackson your the Original O.G. There's not another like you my Sweet Cussing Queen. Hell Yeah!!!
Ohhh this is so good! Love Ms Millie Jackson. Hard to Believe A Child of God is my favorite .
It hurt so good..sorry I couldn’t resist! hope you’re old enough to know Millie’s version of the song

Millie Jackson ain't nothing but the truth. We always had a great relationship to this day and I will always love that woman.
This interview would've been greater if not for all the talking heads on the right. No need for so many cohorts especially when they take away from the interview. Alas, Millie is A LEGEND!!! I could listen to her stories for ages.
Agreed! That chick Layeah or whatever her name is, is the worst and annoying as hell.
@@breal9028 yep. I just had to get used to her. If she just took it down a notch…
My dad loved her! When I seen Millie's Feelin B**tchy and Back to the Sh** album covers I HAD TO KNOW WHO SHE WAS I HAD TO LISTEN!!! LOL 👀
Greatest live performer imo
Hello Millie & Keisha ... played trombone in your band in 1980 including a tour of South Africa .... best wishes always!
I like “Hard times” and “It hurts so good”
A living Legend mz Millie the queen of raunchy rap before lil kim, Nikki & all dem other hos there was Millie
I wish my mother was alive today (1954-2015) to watch this interview! Millie Jackson was her idol and I was too afterwards!
Wish Millie will tour. Love her and all her albums
The Phuck U symphony is still the ish LOL
I just played it yesterday.
My first Adult albums was MILLIE...STILL LOVE HER
Good to see you Phonte. Been some years since college in Duram and our run in in Seattle. One creative dude.

Quest Love, thank you for asking about Betty Davis!
Flowers!
Millie Jackson you rock...Saw you in Chicago at Black Expo back in the day....A true Empress
Classic! ❤️🌹

Millie is still one of the best preformers alive she doesn't have to take a back seat to no one
I ❤ Mildred Virginia " Millie " Jackson !!
LOVED This.
Dope
I love this 😂
Y’all should have had Mrs.Jody call in on Millie 😂😂😂😂
That would of been epic. Wonder if they're still wives in law
Quest interview your legends by yourself.
Love this episode!
Great interview!
Millie is the best who ever done it.
Millie Jackson is a beast! My dad loved her music and played it often.......I can remember hearing I know you gotta chick on da side goddammit I know you gotta chick on da side.....
The beautiful and talented POINTER SISTERS made “chick on the side” not ignorant MIllie or the sorry ass Dj’s.

👑Millie Jackson👑❤️
Her daughter looks like her from the 70s OMG spitting image
The Intros back!!!!!
I need that T-Shirt Keisha has on.
Millie Jackson Hammersmith London 1987, wow 😯
Love Miller Jackson....
UA-cam official! 🙂
I thought they were supposed to interview millie Jackson, all they do is talk and never let the person who were supposed to hear talk.
@15:20 lol.. calm down..that man is a planet..However I wonder if Ms Jackson ever crossed paths with Blowfly ..same era
The Apollo show was the funniest thing i have seen
I didnt know millie was so lightskinned

Millie is a Legend! So now we see Millie could have schooled all the stars. All those acts that were ripped off in the 80s and 90s
I'm crying at her not wanting/expecting Keisha to cuss
Milli is a fine ass old lady 😂
Been missing roll call 😄
24:33...I remember aretha doing the same thing to patti labelle...
why are you looking AWAY from Millie to introduce her?
Dude is horrible
The worst intro to a super star. Non professional and I am a roots fan.
QL and Ms Millie had smoke, that's why. Kiesha provided a bit of reel-in for her momma. Folk were walking on eggshells with this interview. Anything could have happened. Ms Millie is a legend both in music and in personality.
Intro is way to long not looking at HER and saying her name. Maybe you guys said things before rolling, which is why may have seemed unusual.
Questlove should try to get OutKast or RTJ on here
no water for the guests?
PHONTE IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER IM THE NIGGA THAT WAS AT THE SIGNING AT RASPUTIN RECORDS OR AOMEBA RECORDS IN BERKELEY BACK IN 2005 WHERE I HAD ALL OF THE JUSTUS LEAGUE CD'S AND YOU WAS LIKE OH SHIT HE GOT ALL OF OUR SHIT INCLUDING THE MIXTAPES
"not to mention" 🤣
Carmen McRae?
Millie is so bomb!
