I always love me some Donell Jones. His music is still phenomenal pure writing genius. I still listen to his music. This interview made me learn more about him. Thank you.
I'm a huge Donnell Jones fan, I have all his CDs except the very last one "forever". I saw him in concert in San Diego back in 2011, I wish I could have met him and got his autograph at least I saw him in concert.
Awesome convo guys. Donnell Jones will always be one of the most underrated R&B artists. Which is so ironic because the "Where I Wanna Be" album is a straight banger from the first track to the last. And it can stand up against ANY other R&B album. Plus he's got street cred with the Pun tribute and Left Eye collab.
I'm mad I missed this interview when it first dropped! Enjoying it now Donell Jones is my favorite R&B Singer I love all his albums he definitely is underrated
Absolutely loved this man from when I heard: “You know what’s up” I was a kid and everything about it was smooth including Left Eye’s verse 🔥🔥🔥 His music warms my soul 💜😘❤️💋💋💋✨✨✨✨ He still looking good too 💋💋💋🔥
Respect to OG Donell Jones definitely deserves his flowers while he here 😞 Shout-out to Usher for giving him his flowers on stage in his Vegas show he sung background for Usher. Lastly, Rest up Lisa "Left eye" Lopes 🙏 can't believe it's been 20+ since my baby 😞🙏
Under rated, Donnell Jones is exceptionally talented. Another killa Gemini ♊Legend that killed the music game. Loved the interview. 👌🏾..Use to loooooove that song by Usher 'Think of you'.. Mr Jones is a legend, frfr.
True Story; I remember being at a club in Cali called Misty's by the airport in Ontario and supposedly Donell Jones was there. So I'm like cool, I met Donell before and we chopped it up before in ATL real cool dude, down to earth. So this dude was there impersonating Donell Jones, with body guards close to him like he was Donell. At the time me and my wife were at the bar having drinks, and this impersonator rudely got in front of me while waiting for my drinks, I checked him! He turned and said you know who I am, I said no and don't gaf, he said I'm Donell Jones with a Jamaican accent, I said no you're not! He took off his hat to show me he looked like Donell Jones, and said man I will f you up, now I'm good with my hands, I moved closer to him, told him very calmly with intent , I will get you before your fake guards can reach you. He said nigga you crazy!!! And bought two rounds of drinks for my wife and I. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm angry with you. Because when you got to the part about the Jamaican accent, I was literally on the floor in tears. Spitting my drink out. It's so Random, yet the best story I've seen in this comment section.
Thank you for this interview with @Donelljones 💜🙏🤗 I been definitely on "all this luv" lately & "shawty got her eyes on me", he deserves his flowers 🌹💓
I felt like everything went downhill when they started that emailing tracks back-and-forth we need to get back to when artist produces a song writers are all in the studio at the same time creating
Shoutout D Jones...Eas"T"exas Respect "Forever" Off Of "The Lost Files" Album Is 1 Of My Favorite Songs But Donell Has Hits 4 Dayz...Lovem All ...Very Underated Superstar...
His *Where I wanna be* album will always be a classic to me‼️

Donell Jones has been my top 3 favorite R&B artist of all time. Love this guy.
