Brother Mtume's entire interview was filled with straight jewels! Wow. In order for us to own our shit, we gotta stay plugged in with the elders. IT IS A MUST!
Man why Envy always rushing people off? Only 27 minutes for Mtume? Dudes a legend. Smh. I felt like he had much more to say. And they give ppl like Amber Rose an hr talking about nothing.. Smh
Mr. Mtume. Undisputed legend!!! One, if not, the many reasons I begin to listen to old school classic R&B from the '70s and '80s. Every time I discover a record from that era, I'm eager to put it in my Spotify playlist. I thank my parents for putting me on great R&B music.
I love my parents because without their musical influence (and other qualities) I would be lost in the sauce and deceased in the grease with this music
Omg! I can listen to him talk forever! I always loved Mtume! "Juicy Fruit" and "You, me and he", was my all time favorites! Even when Uncle Luke with H-town remade "You and Me"! 🔥🔥 right there. But to listen to this man's intellect and knowledge! Wow! I wish it was a longer interview! 💯💯💯❤💜❤💜❤💜
He had more to give us. The breakfast club wasn't ready. They almost got him out before he gave us the jewels that we got. Bring on the information from legends.
NO! They weren't ready. I follow CTG on IG. He always post which artist will be a guest on their show but he didnt post anything about a legend like Mr. Mtume. SDMH...
THIS WAS SO GOOD I WATCHED IT TWICE BACK TO BACK. More older people please. A lot of the people in my generation need more. Many of us have young parents who can't share a perspective like this. My grandparents are all deceased. This was great & I am not even interested in being a part of the music industry. Greatest takeaways: "Everything has to die in order for something new to come" "The assumption of victory is a dumb refuge to seek.. you gotta work it through."
Mtume hit the nail in the wall, when he said, "Take the lead singer out the group, and you lose the group." Think, Left-Eye of TLC, K-Ci & JoJo of Jodeci, Sisqo of Dru Hill, Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men, Marc Nelson of AZ Yet, Ron Isley of The Isley Brothers, Marques Hoston of Immature and later on IMX, Slim of 112, RL of Next, Patti Labelle of Labelle, Michael Jackson of The Jackson Five, Dawn Robinson of En Vogue, any member of LSG (Keith Sweat, Gerald Levert & Johnny Gill), Beyonce of Destiny's Child, Raphael Saadiq of Tony, Toni, Tone, Babyface of The Deele, Lionel Richie of The Commodores, Stokley of Mint Condition, Tony Thompson of Hi-Five, Coko of SWV, Teddy Riley (as a music producer) of Blackstreet and Guy, Aaron Hall of Guy, Kandi of Xscape, Brian and Brandon Casey of Jagged Edge, Meelah of 702, Renee Neufville of Zhane, Omarion of B2K, Jeffrey Osbourne of L.T.D., Teddy Pendergrass of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Amel Larrieux or Bryce Wilson (as a music producer) of Groove Theory, Eddie Kendricks of The Temptations, Jody Watley of Shalamar, Luther Vandross of Change, Patti Labelle of Labelle, Nicci Gilbert or Kina of Brownstone and countless many others. - @TerrenceHanton
Left eye was never lead singer of TLC and Dawn Robinson wasn't lead singer of en vogue. Boys II men took turns singing lead between Shawn and Wanya. David Ruffin was the original lead singer of The Temptations.
Were these lead singers pushed out or wanted to start their own band? Was Phil Collins pushed out of Genesis or did he want do his own thing? Freddie Mercury and Queen? Glenn Frey and Don Henley of The Eagles? The list goes on and on. Not a race thing. James Mtume is great but not sure he's right with this one.
Wow, living legend here, have always been a big fan. Brother looks great for 70. Can't believe Envy was in such a rush to end the interview, he needs to read more & improve his conversational skills.
Absolutely. They all need to do their homework before interviewing the greats. CTG didn't even know he hosted Open Line - how Sway and you call yourself a radio guy... Losing that show was a huge loss to the community. I think Mtume would be a great addition to the Breakfast Club.
This is a great interview! And a prime example of why The Breakfast Club is so successful, because of the variety of people they bring and also trying to educate and entertain at the same time! Peace
DR. THRIVE - I was so shocked to see him. It felt great to know that I could follow everything reference in the interview. Being 42, I straddle the fence of 3 generations and it feels great.
Peace....His work and catalog is timeless and influential. The list of iconic singers he's worked with is massive.. He's a truth teller and teacher,ALWAYS has been. I cant wait for his forthcoming UNSUNG episode! He was one of the first producers to give Luther Vandross and Gwen Guthrie a break. He was also one of the last people to see Donny Hathaway alive (he recorded Donny &Roberta's song Back Together hours b4 Donny committed suicide).. His knowledge of music and history is vast and extensive..This man is a true jewel!
That album was my summer soundtrack of "83" he's a brilliant composer, producer & writer very underrated. He's literally music 101 if you can't get Quincy for convo he's next up. Check out Hips, would you like to fool around & Hip Dip Skippedabeat. Legend...
In 1/8/2022, RIP the Great James MTume! 😪❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 They needed to give Mr. MTume more time and just let him talk music history. These younger adults need to learn how to STFU and allow the elder musician entertainers talk and school them.
Mtume remind me of the old guy that plays chess or checkers with you and the barbershop and kick knowledge with you and he owns the jukebox in the shop
Yeah y'all drop the ball on this interview.. this one should've been an hour at least.. He definitely has much knowledge and wisdom to unpack for us about the industry, history and culture.. I'd love to see him return and you guys be better prepared for this one...
Facts..... Charlemagne brings light and substance to the breakfast club....I belive he is the reason why we are able to listen too guest these....Righteous
As an oldhead, its great to spread knowledge and your perspective to younger people who can listen and appreciate it. I listen to Mtume's music, and all the songs he produced. Still remember seeing them on Soul Train
If you want to hear more from James mtume check out the podcast Questlove Supreme on Pandora he had a 2-hour interview with him and they went in I mean they were really went in......
I am 40 yrs old and was in love with the song juicy fruit in my younger days. I had know idea it was about oral sex. I would sing 🎤 along to the words, but I guess it never registered with me what the song was about. But now that makes me like it even more.
RIP and much respect to Mr. Mtume who discography is extensively and work on Open Line was our voice to our communities struggle in NYC. Thank you for a life well lived🙏
Great interview i loved the way he broke things down and bridged the gap between then and now, Mtume is a musical legend that contributes much of yesterday blended with the young future artist!
This was one of the best online conversations i've ever watched. Mad respect to Breakfast Club for bringing Mtume over, and even more respect for Mtume speaking truths! What a legend! Rip!
Thank you all so much for this great interview! I was hoping it didn't end the times it looked like it was going to. Whenever I see interviews with not only legends of music where my focus is, but people who have lived for years with so much experience and knowledge, I'm always interested to listen and hope the interview is long enough to get great info from it. It's very valuable to listen to those that have had that many years. Thanks again!
His 27 minutes of candid knowledge is praised
Maxxwell Rolland 🖒🖒🖒
Rest in peace James Mtume. Your musical Genius will live on!
Pray that Im this smooth and motivated as this brother at age 71

Brother Mtume's entire interview was filled with straight jewels! Wow. In order for us to own our shit, we gotta stay plugged in with the elders. IT IS A MUST!
Give the Legends more airtime. The history needs to be told.
Juicy Fruit is a timeless record!
Shaun Nguyen lol😂
Lord knows how much I miss you Mtume on Open line. Sad you opted to to leave.
I love Juicy Fruit
I agree
"Juicy Fruit" along with the Isley Brother's "Between The Sheets" was sampled maybe 100 times between 1993/ 1994.
*Brothers*
Man why Envy always rushing people off? Only 27 minutes for Mtume? Dudes a legend. Smh. I felt like he had much more to say. And they give ppl like Amber Rose an hr talking about nothing.. Smh
He hates the intellectual exclusion 😁
This was one of thee dopest interviews I've ever watched
Ya Boy absolutely agree 100% .. More Please!!
This interview was dope! Always good to get a musical education!
Tony R Sanders i enjoyed this interview 👍👍👍
yee is a nasty creeping type person ..her nature is nasty
Wow, brother I thought I was the only one that love listening to someone older than me breaking down the history on me (a history buff as well).
Agreed indeed!
Mr. Mtume. Undisputed legend!!! One, if not, the many reasons I begin to listen to old school classic R&B from the '70s and '80s. Every time I discover a record from that era, I'm eager to put it in my Spotify playlist. I thank my parents for putting me on great R&B music.
Great interview! Need more jewels like this. Definitely gave insight on the industry! Thx breakfast club!!!!!
I love my parents because without their musical influence (and other qualities) I would be lost in the sauce and deceased in the grease with this music
Ebony Holt Wouldn't we all.

'Prime Time' is another one.
Brother was dropping pure knowledge! Put some Respect on his name! RIP Legend
He had more to give us. The breakfast club wasn't ready. They almost got him out before he gave us the jewels that we got. Bring on the information from legends.

Terrence Hanton man that was a hope diamond right there
Terrence Hanton systematic separation why pay ten when we only need to satisfy and yesman one. Use our production our studios our stylist smdh
Left eye was never lead singer of TLC and Dawn Robinson wasn't lead singer of en vogue. Boys II men took turns singing lead between Shawn and Wanya. David Ruffin was the original lead singer of The Temptations.
Howard Hewett was the lead singer of Shalamar
Were these lead singers pushed out or wanted to start their own band?
Was Phil Collins pushed out of Genesis or did he want do his own thing? Freddie Mercury and Queen? Glenn Frey and Don Henley of The Eagles?
The list goes on and on. Not a race thing.

Vegas Element fakks
Envy was mad disrespectful
Vegas Element Exactly He always ask a question that has been answered. Envy needs to listen.
Vegas Element yes!!! Envy is such an airhead 🙄

Miss Myasia ...You on it sista
I love when they have guests from older music. It's very respectful.
That album was my summer soundtrack of "83" he's a brilliant composer, producer & writer very underrated. He's literally music 101 if you can't get Quincy for convo he's next up. Check out Hips, would you like to fool around & Hip Dip Skippedabeat. Legend...
R Harper II facts or Hank shocklee from public enemy
Probably the only video wit no negativity in the comment box.... Great interview
My heart is profoundly heavy right now. RIP, James Mtume (3 January 1946 - 9 January 2022) 🙌🏿🙏🏿😭
In 1/8/2022, RIP the Great James MTume! 😪❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
They needed to give Mr. MTume more time and just let him talk music history. These younger adults need to learn how to STFU and allow the elder musician entertainers talk and school them.
George Clinton, Mtume, BC keep coming with the legend interviews! Ya'll are the best!
Did they do George yet.
Mtume remind me of the old guy that plays chess or checkers with you and the barbershop and kick knowledge with you and he owns the jukebox in the shop
VERY grown interview. ALL Breakfast Club interviews don't have to be filled with gossip, and rachetness!!!!!
Bring him back!
I absolutely love when they interview the older generation. This is what we need to hear. This interview just inspired me!
Hes like Sinbad mixed with Spike Lee
In his older age, but in his younger age he was fine.
Preach Brother Mtume!!! Bout to pull out my Stephanie Mills & Mtume ALBUMS!!!
The best Breakfast Club Interview!!
I went and checked his catalogue. Damn.
Megan Robinson he's paid
Megan Robinson - Brother is the truth
Megan Robinson Yesss Mommy. No dis but it makes me proud of you for doing your Homework..💘 It. Not too many people do that. Especially youngsters
Megan Robinson good for you sister
90's rap was jazz influenced as well.
Brown Suga facts
Brown Suga rakims dad was a famous saxaphonist he patterned his flow around the intricate notes of jazz
PUSHBUTTONPRODUCER That's cool to know cuz we all know how Rakim do it.
Speak Elder! We need more of this!!!
I have so much respect for this brutha.
Pure Class & Legacy.. right here..💖
Yeah y'all drop the ball on this interview.. this one should've been an hour at least.. He definitely has much knowledge and wisdom to unpack for us about the industry, history and culture.. I'd love to see him return and you guys be better prepared for this one...
OG!
Wow,Stephanie Mills "What Cha Gonna Do With My Lovin?"
Accune I just smoked to that track last night. The melody, production, vocals ughhhh!!!
It's really good.
Classic
Love that song
Dropping gemsssss
Extremely pleasant to hear an older, accomplished brother on the Breakfast Club. Please get more OGs on the show.
Omg I love him
Facts..... Charlemagne brings light and substance to the breakfast club....I belive he is the reason why we are able to listen too guest these....Righteous
How can THIS interview be less that an hour?
Outta12 cause it not about the agenda of dumb ish .. my opinion
As an oldhead, its great to spread knowledge and your perspective to younger people who can listen and appreciate it. I listen to Mtume's music, and all the songs he produced. Still remember seeing them on Soul Train
BRING HIM BACK!!!!!!!
Black don't crack, this dude livin' a musically fulfilled life after these many years! Respect!
Rest in power James Mtume 🕊 thank you for all your contributions to art
One of the best interviews!! RIP, seemed like a fun guy to talk to! Those 60s, 70s, and 80s artists were very conscious, a lot of them!
If you want to hear more from James mtume check out the podcast Questlove Supreme on Pandora he had a 2-hour interview with him and they went in I mean they were really went in......
Fitzroy Muhammad Thanks for the info my brother. 👊🏿
4 yrs later, I appreciate you leaving this crumb for us even more. Thanks!
@@NikkiKNuvo damn I didn't know was that serious but all right 🤔
I am 40 yrs old and was in love with the song juicy fruit in my younger days. I had know idea it was about oral sex. I would sing 🎤 along to the words, but I guess it never registered with me what the song was about. But now that makes me like it even more.
When they said "You can lick me everywhere" didn't give you a hint baby! Shit was slammin!
Wow! I didn’t know that shit at 38! Lol👅
Sheila Wyatt they were creative. Go back even further an listen to some Smokey Robinson.
They were slick, but not vile. Today the singer's just straight up sing about oral sex. Back in the day, it was more subtle.
M Rheubottom yes.... Real poetry and imagery.... Versus just being frank. No fun
He did the music for New York undercover classic show.
__brianturnerbodybuiling Turner...FACTS! YOU NOTICED THAT HUH?
RIP and much respect to Mr. Mtume who discography is extensively and work on Open Line was our voice to our communities struggle in NYC. Thank you for a life well lived🙏
This is one of the classics interview from The Breakfast Club. The elder dropped mad gems in here!
How the hell did Charlemagne and Envy not know what the song was about? "I'll be your lollipop.... You can lick me everywhere" LOL
Damn, random deep ass interview.
This is a classic Rest In Peace Mr James Mtume!😔
Great interview i loved the way he broke things down and bridged the gap between then and now, Mtume is a musical legend that contributes much of yesterday blended with the young future artist!
Love this interview
Breakfast club is quick to cut off interesting interviews but let Cardi B and them talk bs for an hour straight.
SeedOfIsrael NL because today's listeners want the stupidity over education some not all
unfortunate but facts
Those guys just prefer silliness and ratchet behavior. Period.
Cause their generation is whack....
@@TheCoachRC is
Wonderful interview. May his beautiful soul rest in peace.
Mtume was a legend, RIP.
Tha Dogg Pound - 40's N Buds (1993). Biggie Smalls - Juicy (1994). Chris Brown - Juicy Booty (2017)
And Juicy Fruit's drums were sampled for Warren G - Do You See ('94)
Faith Evans - Faithfully
Mtume.. on the Breakfast Club?!? Almost broke my thumb clicking this so fast... Young heads, go do your homework 💯💯
Jonnycatbxny1849 i got juiced to see this too
James Mtume not only legendary but a musical scholar and teacher...So much knowledge this man possess.
This was one of the best online conversations i've ever watched. Mad respect to Breakfast Club for bringing Mtume over, and even more respect for Mtume speaking truths! What a legend! Rip!
"Everything has to die for something new to be created." RIP brother Mtume
I got love for MTUME, been listen to that brotha since OPEN line on 98.7 wbls
Damn he was dropping those gems!!! #knowledgeispower
Thank you all so much for this great interview! I was hoping it didn't end the times it looked like it was going to. Whenever I see interviews with not only legends of music where my focus is, but people who have lived for years with so much experience and knowledge, I'm always interested to listen and hope the interview is long enough to get great info from it. It's very valuable to listen to those that have had that many years. Thanks again!
