Nice. Damn, Yeezus. All right, Yeezus. Touch me, tease me. Whoa. Okay. Don't be jealous, guys. Come on.

What happened last night? Yee, you want to tell us something? Actually, I was at, Case was performing. He has an album out right now. I bet he was performing on you. And I be jealous, guys. Come on. What happened last night? You want to tell us something? Actually, I was at, Case was performing. He has an album out right now. I bet he was performing on you. And I was hosting, okay? Oh.

Sheesh. She was hosting. She was rocking the mic. What is wrong with you, Anthony? Just messing with you guys. It's like your sixth studio album, right? Fifth. Fifth?

Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Do you feel like you even got to make new music? Because Tyrese said his next album is going to be his last album because he feels like his catalog is enough. That's what's up. I mean, if that's how you feel. I mean, I make music because I enjoy it.

Gotcha. But, I mean, I didn't hear that one. That's all right. He said that's all right. Yeah. Now, you started off in a group, but you've been solo ever since, right? Would you ever consider doing something like, you know, trying to do a super group? Actually, it was something I was supposed to do like that, but it wasn't going to be like a TGT type of thing.

It was going to be like rock music. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, okay. We just never got, we was never able to get off the ground yet, but we was working on it. Oh, you dabbled in rock? I never knew that. I love rock.

All right. Love rock. Was it people that we would know that you were planning to... Yeah, it was me, Nokia from Drew Hill, and we was trying to figure out who else, but we couldn't find nobody

that wasn't, that was going to fit. That was like-minded and... Yeah, it was always something wrong with them. Like... But that was a woman in a rock group, though, right?

You need something, something got to be wrong with somebody. Yeah, something got to be wrong with somebody. Somebody got to bite the head off the back. And that's okay,

but we, it got to mesh on some level, and then we could deal with the nonsense later. Something gotta be wrong with somebody. Yeah, something gotta be wrong with somebody. Somebody gotta bite the head off the back. And that's okay. Yeah. But we, it just, it gotta mesh on some level. Gotcha. And then we could deal with the nonsense later. It never really meshed, so. Well, it's been, so was this, in this course of time, it's been five years since you put out your last album. Was it during that time or before that? Man, we've been talking about this forever.

Mm-hmm. And doing, like, we'd do a song here, a song there. So, I mean, it's been going on for the longest okay there's still a possibility maybe since you haven't stopped yeah yeah yeah i mean it's definitely a possibility you think they'll accept you as that though because they know you as the r b guy happily ever after you know touch me tease me you think they'll accept the real rnb i mean they may or they may not but it's something that that i enjoy and like i mean at least i can say i did it you know what i'm saying it'd be a challenge for me now how much money you think you've made off touch me

tease me and happily ever after man those are two records that you probably could sustain forever yeah because everybody went yeah yeah everybody want to hear that they went in yeah it touched me tease me yeah they still play that like it just came out i'm with that though now i just got to get it to the point where where I could stop because my catalog from those is enough I gotta get to that so you gotta get on your job I kind of understood what Tyrese was saying though because it's like people want to hear the classics you go out there it's like new music may or may not be received well but classics are always gonna be classics yeah I mean what's wrong I got, but I'm still doing new music.

Gotcha. That's a defeatist mentality. That kind of sounds like giving up. Yeah, I can see why you would say that. Like, yeah, I'm like, make new music. You know what I'm saying? If that's what you enjoy doing. Now, if you don't enjoy doing it anymore,

then I can see. But the way you said it, I'm like, yeah, my catalog is enough. I'm like, wow, peasants. That's how I took it. He said he was going to still do group stuff, though. He said he didn't know more solo albums. Here's my thing.

Stevie Wonder's catalog is enough, but he put out a new album a couple years ago. True. Because that's what he likes to do. You do it because you love it. I don't think most people probably could do R&B music and be successful at it if they don't love it. Or even if you produce Thriller at, what, 50?

Right. And he's been doing stuff forever. I mean, his catalog, I would say his catalog is enough. Yeah. You've been in the game for 20 years almost, right? Yeah. And a lot has changed from when you first came out until now, especially with social media and all of that stuff.

Thank God. I'm glad that wasn't out there. Because you had a lot of drama back in the day. I had a lot of fun. And you had a lot of fun. Okay. And all I had to worry about was Wendy. Now there's cameras everywhere.

I'm looking for the next shot. You accidentally shot yourself in the neck one time, right? Yeah, yeah. That wasn't fun. How did you do that? That wasn't fun. That wasn't fun. I'm going to be real.

I was drunk. And I was moving the gun. And it had a hair trigger and it went off yeah and it went in right there came out the back you are so lucky boy that ain't luck that's blessed now I was in Atlanta now that's blessed I ain't lucky ain't no luck about that how would you move what you was holding the gun like this like what you I'm like this and I picked it up okay and I'm sitting on the bed I picked it up off the thing and it went off. Damn.

Dang. Where was you moving it to? Just to put it up somewhere? Yeah, I put it in the closet. Oh, okay. Didn't make it. I remember the story. You said the kids were around.

Well, they were coming. Right. And you wanted to make sure they didn't, you know. Yeah. So you were being safe still. Kind of. Kind of. You gotta be safe.

Safe to have the safety on. No, no. I had the best intentions. I don't know how safe I was. I had the best intentions, though. Who called the ambulance for you? My girl at the time. Oh, she was there?

Yeah, she was there. People thought you tried to kill yourself or something? I heard one person say, yeah. No, let me tell you the crazy part. Everybody thought my girl shot me. Oh, wow. Like, my mom's flew down there. I'm like, Mom, I'm cool.

Yeah, all right. I'm at the airport. Like, everybody. And everybody's looking at her up and down. Like, they never got past that. Wow. Oh, everybody's looking at her up and down. Like, they never got past that. Wow. Oh, and they thought you were covering up for her. Yeah.

The first thing you did was to make sure you could still sing, because that would have been. Yeah, when I came to, I got up, and I went, because I didn't know where it hit me. I looked in the mirror, and I tried to sing, because I'm like. That's my paycheck. Hold on, you mean immediately after you got shot? I mean, when I first got up. Yeah. Yeah, I wanted to see where it hit me. because i'm like that's my paycheck hold on you mean immediately after you got shot i mean what

i mean when i when i first got up yeah yeah i wanted to see where it hit me and then when i saw i'm like oh hell no so i tried to sing like not like full out like a song but i just wanted to see could i talk or sing and then i was like cool i could sing i'm good yeah i'm good because if i can't sing we might have to finish that that off. Now you're going to hand your girl the gun and say, hey, that was both of us. Babe, yeah. You're right, JoJo. I don't ask you to do a lot, but I need you to do something for me right now. So it wasn't like nowhere near being fatal then?

It could have been. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it missed everything. Moved a little bit over. Yeah, that's what they said, like a couple of millimeters. Yeah, it could have been. Other than that, though, you was pretty clean. I mean, I never heard anything about you.

I mean, you had a nice little roster of chicks. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Well, see, that's why I'm saying I'm glad social media wasn't around. All I had to worry about was Wendy. And me and Wendy was cool. She would call me and be like, look, I got a stack of stuff about you.

Facts, facts, right? Yeah, she would get the facts. And she would give them to me. I'd read them. She'd be like, I'm just telling you. I'm not going to blow you up. I'm like, good luck. Wendy Williams you talking about? Yeah.

Okay. Why would she like you so much not to do that? I'm likable. You sure you didn't smash it? Oh, no. Heavens no. No, not like that. But then, too, you know what I forgot?

I was in third grade with to I was in like third grade With Wendy's husband Uh huh Oh okay And when he proposed to her I sang He was like Yo I'm

Just start singing I'm gonna propose to her So maybe that was why I don't know Oh you from Broadville Yeah I grew up in Brooklyn Oh okay And then I moved to Mount Vernon

When I was a teenager So maybe that was it Okay yeah that's your Relationship with her husband Y'all was cool You sang for them She can't let you Yeah and I'm with that

I was with that I'm like bet She sang for them. She can't let you. Yeah, and I'm with that. I was with that. I'm like, bet. She's like, I'm just calling to let you know that you need to move a little different. And I mean, they were straight snitching. Yeah, because people were saying you was dating Beyonce. I know you've denied that, but she was in the video, Happily Ever After.

Anybody in the video, they say you're dating. Right. Did you ever notice that? Anybody you do a song with? I never noticed that, Kasey. Anytime a girl is in a video, oh, yeah, they go together. I guess you're supposed to have that type of chemistry, though. That's the point of doing a video, so it looks real, like, you know.

Yeah, but they just go all the way with it. Did you pick her for it? Mm-hmm. Because they wanted, they was like different video chicks that was out at the time. And I was like, they was into much stuff was out at the time. And I was like, they was into much stuff. I wanted somebody new. So I was like,

that's who I want. What did you see her at? Good eye. The no, no, no, no, no video. No, no, no video. Okay. And matter of fact, I was in his office.

I'm like, yeah, right there? Yeah, so we, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you know, did you look at her and tell her she's going to be your superstar? Yeah, man.

If not, I knew she was going to be in that video. I knew that. I knew that. I went and stood on Kevin Lyle's desk like, this is happening. He was like, you sure? Yes, I'm sure. There was resistance? Yeah, they wanted like.

Who they wanted, JoJo? I don't even remember. Nia Long. Nia Long. That wouldn't have been bad. And then people were saying foolishness. I'm like, nah, B. You couldn't lose either way with Nia Long or Beyonce, though.

But at that time, I think Nia Long was in something else. And that's why I didn't want to do it. Okay, you wanted to be fresh. She was in somebody else's video, I think. And I didn't want to be that guy. So I'm like, I need to do something different. And Foxy Brownie said she did that feature for free because you was banging her out.

Touch me, tease me. Shut up. Don't shut up. He's just making stuff up. Can we just get stuff away? Was this in the Wendy's stack? Just throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks? He might have been in the Wendy's stack.

Hold on, hold on. Nah, nah. Now that I've never heard, but I would like to categorically deny that one. Which one? That she did the feature for free? She was kind of young. That I smashed her.

Okay. Categorically. Nah, yeah, she was That she did the feature for free? She was kind of young. That I smashed her. Okay. Categorically. Nah, yeah, she was young too. She was young too at the time. Yeah, she's a little underage. I don't know. Let me look at the legal age of consent. Where'd you shoot the video at?

Where'd you shoot the video at? Look, there was witnesses. There was witnesses at the video. Brett Ratner shot that video, yeah. What about Mary J. Blige? What about her? So y'all dated. That was true. Allegedly.'all dated. That was true.

Allegedly. That was true. That was true. You guys dated, and you said she was abusive towards you. I didn't say she... No, that's not what I said. That's not what I said. I felt bad.

No, that wasn't what I said. Let me tell you what happened. This is how people twist stuff up. So I'm doing an interview with this dude, right? Okay. And he was like, I have to ask you about these rumors. So he was saying different stuff. He's like, and what about the rumor that you used to beat up Mary?

I'm like, I ain't never beat up no girl. I was like, if anything, I still got scars from her throwing stuff and hitting me. That's what I said. And they took that little thing and turned it into, Kay said he was abused. Really? I mean, that is kind of abuse. She's throwing stuff at you and leaving scars. But that's not how they said it, though.

It was like, hey, Kay, Casey said he was better than... No, it was in passing. I'm like, yo. What did she hit you with? Whatever was there. Whatever was there was a lamp. What would she be mad at you for, though? Were you cheating or she didn't trust you?

Me? Hell yeah. No. Cheating? Yeah, what could she be mad at you for? What would make a woman want to throw something at you? You write a song called Happily Ever After and don't live up to that. We was talking about that last night.

That video caused me so much headaches. Yeah. Because then it's like, well, you should be more romantic. Yeah. You're supposed to want to marry whoever you're with after that. You are RBC. They say Happily Ever After. Yeah, but that was kind of over the top.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So now, even though I did do that one time for somebody's birthday, did the flowers, never did it again, though. Never did the flowers again. Hold on. Hold, hold, hold. So now, even though I did do that one time for somebody's birthday, did the flowers, never did it again, though. Never did the flowers again. Hold on. Hold, hold, hold. You only sent the girl flowers once? No, I'm saying I did the flowers like a happily ever after the whole room.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got you, got you, got you. Yeah, yeah. No, I sent her flowers before. Well, why would you say never did it again? What's wrong with that? It's just too much. That is a lot of pressure.

I always ask Harpy. It's a lot of pressure. I be like, yo, y'all have, y'all, cause y'all sing these sexy songs. Y'all gotta live up to that, man. Well, you don't got to, but they try. They try to make you. They put the pressure on. What's the most you ever did for Valentine's Day

for a young lady? Where you felt like, boy, I am really case. Oh, this used to be my thing. He used to be like, you sure you're doing it for the right reason? Yeah. Like, my girl was in L.A., so I had her friends have her somewhere

at a certain time. So actually, she was watching me on 106 and pop and you know tape the day before And then I walked in and walked up behind her so she started crying and stuff cuz that's what girls do Yeah, okay, yeah, but she had no idea I was coming to LA got you so then I came walked up behind her So I was like well, I'm about to go to the hotel So we got to the hotel, had like some champagne. It was like a diamond bracelet in the bathroom. It was a diamond necklace under the pillow.

God, man. Yeah, that was fun. It was freaking heavy. That was a hell of a night. Did you marry her? It was wifey. You married her? Nah, because everybody thought she shot me.

Was that really why you couldn't marry? Nah, that's not why. Nah, we broke up for other reasons, but that didn't help. That didn't help. My mom's just looking at her crazy ever since. Yeah. Now, for songs like Faded Pictures, Missing You, Not Your Friend, did you write all of those?

Joe wrote Missing You and Faded Pictures. Tim and Bob wrote Not Your Friend. But you wrote for other artists also. Yeah, and I wrote almost all the songs that I recorded. Can you make a lot of money when other people write your records like that? Yeah. I mean, you can. You can make it on shows and stuff like that. But most of the stuff that I've had in my albums, I've written or co-wrote.

I mean, co-written. Wow, that was different. Co-wrote. Co-wrote. Co-written. I ain't been asleep yet. You're an abused man. We understand.

Abused men, They talk that way Yeah yeah look You be talking Get us all whooped Now you JoJo been your manager For what The whole time right

Nah nah Me and JoJo Just got back together On that On that Type of thing about what Like summertime But we been like

Best friends for like 25 years Gotcha Yeah Yeah all the albums We did together so summertime but we've been like best friends for like 25 years yeah yeah all the albums we did together so I remember reading in 2011 you were working on this album you quite some time to get it done are you smoking it here no that's not smoke that would have been some real rock and roll. Oh, you know Snoop did. That is awesome.

Snoop sat right there. And just buy it up? Absolutely. That's what's up. But yeah, so it took you a long time to kind of get this done. How many songs did you do, and what was the delay? It wasn't really a delay. Actually, there was a different producer that we had.

He did like, what, seven songs? So we wasted a whole bunch of time. Then he turned out to be a lady. A lady? Yeah, he did like, what, seven songs? So we wasted a whole bunch of time. Then he turned out to be a lady. So I bet, yeah, he was a lady. A bitch? Operation like Bruce? Yeah. Nah, nah, nah.

He might as well, though. Oh, he just had female tendencies? Oh, he's a bitch? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, he's a bitch. That's one way to say it. I prefer a lady.

Okay. Somebody people know? Hey! Oh, yeah. Who? Just a guy. Who, JoJo? He ain't a lady.

Nothing if you're a lady. So a man that's a did like seven eight songs on the album and then once that fell I was like I well I start over so we went started over what happened he didn't the paperwork wasn't right it's not even that good it's not even that good. It's not even that good. He tried to leverage the songs to get a different situation that had nothing to do with me resolved.

He basically tried to strong on me. He tried to call my bluff and I don't play that game. I'm like, I gave him the finger. Later. Does he have any hit records?

Tons. Really? Yeah. I had to figure out who did it. He said, what's one of them? He said,

what's one of them? But yeah, so we went through that. and he's still relevant now nah oh he's not relevant anymore nah i'm about to google i've been googling right now he was googling the whole time but 2011 heaven's door producer but no it was it just took a while we did about maybe 30 songs something like that who do you listen to now only thing i listen well right now i'm listening to kendrick but other than that i listen unless there's something like that that comes out i listen to all old music i listen to all motown uh marvin gaye stevie wonder michael jackson david ruffin temptations all that stuff it seems like none of the OG R&B cats respect what's going on in R&B right now.

I respect it to an extent, but I think that it needs to be balanced. Like, we can't always be in the club. Every song can't be about trying to take these two strippers out the club. Because, I mean, that's fine, but most of my life happens outside the club. Gotcha. And I think there's other things that we can sing about and we can talk about. And that's my only thing with it,

is that there needs to be some balance. Like, it can't be that all the time. What do you think it is? You think that ladies aren't the same anymore? Nah, I think... Or the music is reflecting that? That could be a little bit of it, but what I really think is that

when hip-hop and R&B got together, that somewhere along the lines of that, R&B lost its identity and became more hip-hop than R&B. It's a hybrid. Yeah. Hip-hop maintained this identity, but R&B didn't. It kind of merged into it, and now it's some mutant offspring now. I was reading an article about why marriages don't work today anymore

like they used to. And a lot of what they said in the article was a lot of it has to do with social media. We're distracted. We go to bed. We're not in bed alone.

We're in bed with our phone paying attention to other things. We're looking at other people that have like bodies that we don't have and you know, all of that. DMs is popping.

We like to look up to those ideals and that's why a lot of people can't maintain marriages. I had a conversation about that last night. Yeah. And it's sad too because a lot of people can't maintain marriages. I had a conversation about that last night. It's sad too because a lot of the stuff that you see on social media is fake.

It's like when you get, remember people used to get the Nissan and put a Ferrari kit on it? They put the Bentley kit on the front. That's what they're doing with their bodies. You're still a Nissan but you got the kit on it and now you're on Instagram. We were talking

about that yesterday. It's kind of sad but I want to go back to the hip-hop R&B thing when you was was that a conscious decision you would make when you would do records with hip-hop artists like yo let me maintain my R&B I'm not gonna sing about shooting uh tonight or whatever you know what my thing is that I always try to make music from an honest place so that was never like if I'm sitting down coming out with something that would never even cross my mind this thing about that honestly so that's why that's why i never did and i've had songs where people was like say right we had songs where it's like some crazy tomfoolery and i'm like yo i'm not saying that like i i just i'm not doing it well like some people wrote for you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm like, yo, did you hear what they said? Like, nah, I'm not saying that.

What's the craziest thing that you just threw off the table? Like, get that out the studio. Oh, there's tons of them. The craziest? I don't know. There's a ton of them, but it's like... Drip drop? Drip-dripity drop?

I've had way worse than that. You don't like drip-dripity drop? I can say it's kind of catchy. I like drip-dropity drop. Yeah, worse than that. You don't like drip, drippity drop? I can say it's kind of catchy. I like drip, drippity drop. Yeah, it's hot. I don't love it, but I like it. Yeah, when I first saw it, I was like, ah. But then it's like, gosh.

Can't get it out of my head. And then you walking around the crib like, drip, drip, drop. Drip, drippity drop. Yeah. But no, a lot of times you get some nonsense. And I don't even want to call it nonsense, but it's just not me. So I don't do stuff that's that's not me because people could tell when you're faking i grew up with jehovah

witness too by the way oh you know the pain and struggle did you really like quit did jehovah witness religion just to pursue music well i was quitting anyway or did you get this fellowship no i never got baptized me neither my man like my, see, my thing was they was like, as long as you in this house, well, you know, you're not going to be doing that because that's worldly. So I was like, well, I'm out. Because I wasn't going to sit around. We didn't celebrate Christmas. Here's the best part, though.

By the time Touch Me, Tease Me came out, none of them went no more. And they looking at me at Christmastime. I'm like, what? Birthdays. We have bread now. That's when you at me at Christmas time. I'm like, word? Birthdays. That's when you turn back to him. Now don't nobody. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm like, word? Now everybody. Merry Christmas. What made you want to leave? You just. Cause it was, it was just too much. Yeah. Like it's just personally to me, it's like a cult.

That's my personal opinion. Like anything, any organization that alienates you from the world or even from your family there's something like not right about that to me anyway mama that's his words not mine but he was thinking that every time people come up here and we start talking about being Jehovah Witness she always will send me a watchtower in a way because she heard I misconstrued what the religion was about. I ain't say none of that. Let me tell you the new thing, though.

Did you know? Because you used to go up field service and all that, right? Absolutely. They be posted up at the airport now. Really? Never seen that till recently. Right when you coming in, they posted it right when you coming in. I don't even, they don't even knock on my door on Saturdays anymore.

They're not as committed as they used to be. No one rings my bell anymore. You live in a different neighborhood now, sir. That's true. But where I grew up, there was a Kingdom Hall right on my corner. I used to be like, come on, y'all come here

every single week. I see you every week. You gonna answer this door one day. Yeah. I see you and they're moving. Now, I've never heard about other R&B artists hating on you too much.

Did you ever have any of those issues? Because I remember we had, actually, Charlamagne and Envy instigated a fight between Jagged Edge and Drew Hill. That's terrible.

They had issues before us, though. They just, the Jagged Edge just came up here and talked about it. They ain't got nothing to do with us.

No, I never really had that problem. I never heard nobody talk ish about you. It might have been just I mean, I heard somebody say something and then I went

and approached them about it because, you know, they say little stuff. What would they say about you? It'd be little. That's your man. No, but, like, it'd be little stuff, like, when we're doing shows and stuff. Like, I'm not going on before.

I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman,

Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
