As a mom, it's crazy to me to hear these stories of parents kicking their kids out over the dumbest shit. She could've fell victim to trafficking. So glad her story did not turn out that way.

What happened with the rumor of them approaching her for L&HHH the very first season but she got into a big fight so they couldn’t cast her. I remember that story going super viral before viral was a thing. So many things I wanna know.

Im a real brooke valentine stan. Loved her ever since “long as you come home”. I still remember her mixtape “No More Girlfights” lol. Aaliyah is my fav and she sounds so much like her. The fact that she got signed for doing pop/rock music made so much sense as to why “Chain Letter” sounded like it did. I remember someone referred to it as la meets texas. I feel like the lack of success in her career was due to to bad implementation. They should have pushed “long as you come home” and “cover girl “ as singles to atleast show that she is a real diverse artist with vocal ability THEN put out “girlfight”. Then there would be less of chance of her being lumped into the “crunkNB” trend that was hot at that time.
Y’all created this podcast at the perfect time!! R&B money shedding light on artists and legends that we hardly ever get to hear from today, and it’s appreciated! As someone in their early 20s, who’s recently been diving into 90s RnB, it’s awesome getting to hear the stories of the creation of some of RNBs greatest music!
Mane listen Brooke Valentine is criminally underrated vocally!!! Chain letter was on repeat in high school!
She is so pretty. We need her in serious modeling. Beauty and fashion. ❤
Brooke is a fantastic storyteller. The "Saying No Names" was absolutely unexpected. Brook gave the side chick the keys to the studio door that was under her Range Rover. All I can say is don't mess with a Southern girl. Despite her sweet and lady-like voice and smile, she is capable of being tough and gangsta.
That's a 🥶 COLD start for a singing career🧊. Bring her back for a part 2. This felt more like a conversation than any of the other interviews. Really enjoyed this episode. Enjoy this podcast
We need a Part 2 from Brooke. I could listen to her talk for days. We need to hear more
J Valentine said "My name is David Ruffin....and these are the Temptations"😂😂😂
I really loveeee this podcast. I definitely would like to see a episode dedicated to J Valentine, Tank, and Ginuwine stories 👀
I love this episode and I already loved Brooke but I love her even more now that I know more of her story and y’all definitely need to bring her back for a part 2
R&B money is the dopest podcast out right now hands down !!! The background info of the artist , the insight , the journey of the artist and the humor is second to none

I didn’t know much about Brooke before this. I really enjoyed her ! Good job, y’all !
Her song “Dying From a Broken Heart” is amazing!! Love her voice!
love the meat and potatoes of R&B, always wanted to hear them stories, keep'em coming! Thank you Tank and JV
We definitely need a part two of her story!
Really love this podcast. Tank is the best interview I've ever seen on multiple platforms and he is a great podcast host. Here for it.
Dying of broken heart and cover girl are two of my favorite songs of hers!
I knew i loved Brooke so much without even knowing her foreal!! This interview just took it to level 10000!! ❤️❤️❤️ i love this podcast y’all keep up the good interviews!!!
Damn this was a good one I can tell she got more of her story to tell but she was holding back Tank and J I love this lane for y’all in podcasting we need to celebrate our singers big careers or small ❤

Been waiting for this! Let’s go!
Her story is so dope , I know she went through a lot to get where she is but her story is a REAL artist story back when you really had to work hard fr and she told it so well I could picture everything she was saying like a movie . Definitely need a part 2
OMG, my mother told me those exact words when I told her that I was moving into commercial driving. She told me that she hoped I would fail. I nearly cried. Today commercial driving has set me on an entrepreneurial path and I have more than doubled my income. You can't beat her calling me to help her pay her bills.

I’m back, I find it interesting that the men, including Tank, always had men give them thousands of dollars or a whole place to live (Yung Berg) when they were starving artists having hard times, but Brookes story shows that women don’t get that same support from men or women. Brooke did end up crashing at ol boys place in LA after he finally obliged her, and eventually at a cost (becoming his BM-no disrespect at all). Very telling about interpersonal relationships amongst sexes. Great interview, again.

@@Anisha618 exactly. You see how Brooke had to pay London’s mom $700 to rent a ROOM? Nobody had any mercy on her. She literally had to earn her keep. Hell, at that time, she could’ve gotten her own studio in LA for $700. That was a rip off and I’m annoyed for her. But Berg was able to crash on his weedman couch, Jamie gave Tank money and let him stay at his mansion, all because they believed in them. They weren’t expecting anything in return or giving them a hard time. Nonetheless, I love what Tank and J are doing. It gets more and more insightful with each guest and I enjoy the nostalgia.
