they mumble or over slang they whole interview, in order to keep it real

They got FuKd over alot earlier, but they were MONSTA's in this R&B ShIt💥💨🔥🎤

Throwboy Brooke taught them that

Yes! These are all hood guys straight out of Boston as they often brag but all of them are articulate. Artist development matters. Lol!

Ain't nobody coming to see you Otis

I think you mean "I ain't nobody coming to see you Ricky" lol

Facts lol

Tha Taurus 😂😂😂😂

Mr. “I didn’t fired, I quit” 😂😂😂😂

Bobby wasn't great until he went on his own. He has one really successful album, because the songs were written by Babyface and LA Reid. They gave him a whole new look to go with the songs. People forget he wasn't successful until his second album, since his first album only had one successful song - Girlfriend.

Mayra Bobby showcased his talent and abilities with NE prior to the Don't be cruel AND King of Stage Album with Mr. Telephone man. He might not have been considered great but he was talented not to mention Girlfriend was my jam back n the day!

True cause people don t realize that Bobby had the best solo success out of all the members. His drug use killed his career but he was better solo than in the group it is humble for the group members to admit that

Bobby pick rick first to be n the group

Yes , he was the David Ruffin of the group

Stephanie Kay Marie 🤣🤣😂😂🤣 true

“AIN’T NOBODY COMING TO SEE YOU OTIS!”

I always wanted to know how N/E felt when Don't Be Cruel blew up and changed R&B forever{new jack swing}

Dont nobody care bout dis nigga Bobby Brown the mvp

Menelik Charles Exactly!

@@ThePharaoho you mean yourself not ypurself. Don't comment on my post and can't spell. Let's level up guy's. Don't like low level shit on my post. Stay in your lane.

black dont crack...unless you DO crack

Rick is a vampire.

Bobby Brown had the mentality of being the leader of the group

Shit it was his group to begin with. Bobby was the one that wanted to perform and got Rick, Mike and others to join him. It was MCA & Jump & Shoot that pushed Ralph to the front lol. I think if they gave Bobby more parts he would have been ok, but history is history.

Bobby was greedy & jealous

@@TheLanard every group has a second lead. Jackson 5, 98 degrees, n'sync, dru hill. Boyz ii men like the only group where everyone sung & the temptations

@@FlyiDCG IT WAS Ralph's group from day one. Bobby Brown didn't get it, in a group everyone has their part. Bobby went solo but how did that work out? Forty years later New Edition can perform anywhere and anytime they want to. Nobody is paying Bobby Brown a dime to see him sing solo.

anic 510 word Respect the history and Culture Vlad !

anic 510 I wish we could just get the words at the bottom, WITHOUT VLAD!

ikr!! Vlad kills me with the whole "I'm such a huge fan" introduction and them majority of the time doesn't have the facts straight.

EXACTLY, how you "a huge fan of Ricky's catalog" and don't know that HEARTBREAK comes waaay before HOME AGAIN. You bullshittin' and that's why people call him a culture vulture.

Damn I was thinking the same thing yo!!! I’m like he don’t know shit! At lease he could watch the movie or sumn!smh

Bro I swear im seeing that Vlad has little to no knowledge of these things.

@G’d Up ikr!! I caught that s*** too! If you're such a big fan these are things you should know!!

@@ciaridah exactly and this isn't the first interview. For someone who claims to be a former DJ he don't know s***! Just gets annoying sometimes. Vlad has some great guest but he don't know s*** about them.

KLR Allday yeah I appreciate Vlad’s interview but I would assume he has researchers that could fact check some things. The Heartbreak tour was money...

MY biggest issue is that you take A lot from the hi-hop and urban culture show your respect by preparing when you are talking to legends like this. this man and both respective groups he was in helped shape an era of R&B

Ricky was doing drugs too. I guess he was better at controlling it. I was shocked when I seen that scene in the movie

lmao True.

@Instagram Baddies what u talk about its is his first album

Juve 1st album was souljah rags ya dig

Mobb Deeps 1st was juvenile hell in 93. I know not a lot of cats new it was madd low key then.

True

Control was her 3rd

Brutal V We need a new Bobby to live up the game.

You got one, Chris Brown. But Chris Brown shits out more talent than Bobby Brown ever had.

How was he an asshole explain?

Kamen GS fuck outta here Lmaooooo

Cliiiick everytiiiiime (that damn Bobby)

I think the reason his solo career didn't take off is because no one would back him financially. Honestly he was in his early 30's at the time and he had already done New Edition and BBD. He had so much success previously. I think Nee Edition should have used him and Bobby more instead of running Ralph into the ground.

VIRGOLEGACY that’s one of their BEST albums. That albums really good and better than “Heartbreak” in my opinion. It’s goes “Home Again”, “All for love”, and “Heartbreak” for me

Yup and he only sang lead on one song "Who Do You Trust" which I bet he hated lol

Once bobby brown got voted out of new edition and he took a flight home, bobby brown began to get into all kinds of crazy shit like doing drugs, hanging around gang members and running the streets.

@@dlothedoctorpromo n he rap on school

@@kingsports1113 Nah he wasn’t on School. They shout his name out at the beginning, but it was just the the 4 of them trading lines. Ralph said in an interview during sessions of that album, Bobby no showed some of them. School and Good Boys were probably those sessions.

They all used drugs recreationally. Bobby was the one who had a problem though. Some people just have addictive personalities..Just like theres ppl who can go out and get drunk with friends on the weekend but theres always that friend in the group that takes it too far and eventually starts drinking everyday, before you know it…they’re a full blown alcoholic🤷🏾‍♂️

NJ yea, need to get the timeliness together!

+NJ...exactly. I couldn't believe he actually asked if "Home Again" was before or after "Heartbreak". I need his job...I always do my research before an interview.

He didn’t even know what he was talking bout and me who’s younger new even before the NE movie came out

NJ right he needs to get it together

Naw he made the best music because of drugs

FACTS

@@WestsideCleveland NIGGA PLEASE HIS TALENT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

Ursher baby....

Smh

Heartbreak was released the same time and was 4x platinum and NE was the headliner while BB opened.

Bobby went the highest, but he fell the hardest

Shaun Scott Dont be Cruel went diamond. Nuff said

NE4Life!

yeah but not even cause it's been ups and downs on both sides

probably because of the sales I guess in those times everyone expect for you got platinum in the 80's

It was aight

gene smith the problem was the promotion was poorly done. You had beasts on the production like Larry Blackmon from Cameo, Michael Lovesmith, and the late Robert Brookins. I admit it was no Don't Be Cruel, but from a substantive viewpoint, it should've been promoted better. It was a great transition, I must say

victornewman06 but it didn’t sell girlfriend was the shit though

Thank you “King Of Stage” was a great debut for Bobby MCA dropped the ball on that one

That story is hilarious 😂

Did you not hear Vlad ask about it?

Williams not in this one. I didn't watch part 1 or part 2

Tiffany Gamble it was also mentioned in the NE movie.

DMV, booed Al.B.Sure. when he tried to sing. He was terrible, singing all off tune and high voiced. I remember he had one tight white pants and loafers with out socks. Everybody booed his tail off of the stage. We weren't having it.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol in this interview talking about " he playfully took a hit " either you did or didn't do it !

Right I remember...

Tha Taurus Basically it was.... the Nigga always make the most splash

Reminds me of... ain't nobody come to see you Otis..lol

tag3893 Classic line from a biopic

@@juderayalmario1087 I know that someone would get it.

Andre Wallace i can say thats true love i have never experienced that

Andre Wallace i wont cry about about

@@rotweilerscholar1181 What!? You don't know a damn thing about that woman. Smh.. the self-hate of many Black men is REAL! He's got some racially ambiguous woman, while he's sitting there as a dark-skinned man. That's sad. So many beautiful sistas that loved Ricky Bell, but you see what he got, & she's able to partake in his money & past success. Would she be there if he were broke? You clearly never had a sista & good relationship, where she respected you. You need to do some research on stepping your game up to get a quality Black woman, if you have to look at a VLAD video for your example! LOOLOOOL😂😂😂

Y'all thirsty & pathetic af! You don't even know this woman! He asked specific questions to Ricky about the group! There was no reason for her to answer. Seek help.😂😂😂

@@MrsLegitParttwo lol right she probably wouldn't be if wasn't for the money. Might not had alot of good relationship but that's part of life but i did have my fare share of gr8 thots to classy women I've been blessed

All celebrities are attention seekers

Yea, that is true. I also would add, BB was a performer. To be honest, he was a better performer than the rest of them. Not saying that those guys were not entertaining, but BB had swag and a sound that did not fit a group setting. He was not meant to be in a group for long.

Michael Michelle I don’t think he was attention seeker! It maybe because Bobby wanted more of the fame...

There's multiple variables in this situation. I guess as artists, they still r human and they still go through hell outside of music, but I guess music and being on stage was Bobby's comfort zone. Like remember in his biopic when he was a kid his friend died really young? Don't forget, that same day, was his grandmother's funeral. So his trauma started really early. Music can really help people express their deepest feelings and help say things they had a hard time saying. Also , in music groups, there's always that one group member that everyone goes nuts over. It's almost as if the other members don't even exist. In this case, the member every one went nuts over was Ralph. Maybe he just didn't want to be stuck in Ralph's shadow. Maybe he didn't want to be stuck in any of their shadows, he could've just felt that way as the youngest member.

🤔

Exactly

😂😂😂😂😂😂

That part had me 💀⚰😂😂😂

Petty 😂😂

Nigga you must be smoking primos with Bobby...

I think Earth, Wind and Fire is...the greatest R&B group..PERIOD! But they are a band..not just a group...artist... They produced and actually played instruments on those albums.. Groups that NE would have to contend with...as far as the best R&b vocal groups ...To me Are those who weren't really playing instruments on stage... strictly singers.Doo wops.... but had producers.. The Ojays,The Whispers,The Spinners,The Temptations,The Dramatics,Four tops, The Dells,Chi-Lites,The Manhattans, The Isleys..prior to the lil brothers joining in 1973...so many others. And I'm not gonna include 90s r&b acts like The Boys,Hi-Five,Jodeci,Shai,Silk,Boys II men H-Town... NE Was special in the sense..that teenage r&b acts in the 80s we're far and few between... Ralph Tresvant was singing like Michael Jackson from the Jackson 5.. In the 80s...when I think of best R&b acts..they don't cross my mind.. Sos band,Loose ends, Sade,Midnight Star..Hell..Everything at Solar Records was slamming, Cameo was hitting,Kool and the Gang with JT was hitting..I'm missing alot forgive me... Now Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis took their sound to an Adult level with NE Heartbreak.. Just like Larry Blackmon,LA and Babyface, and Teddy Riley took Bobby Brown to adult levels..not the bubble gum pop from NE prior.. Altho Mr.Telephone man is my favorite song that they done and that was produced by my boy Ray Parker Jr.. It has his sound all over it.. Johnny Gill had a career before joining NE...alot of people forget that..He did albums with Stacy Lattisaw..and solo work.. Michael Bivins took Rick and Ron to a new level with BBD.. NE has their place in music history...but to say the greatest R&B group??? Idk about that..

@@1razinhell u must be smoking crack

@@deezerbee81 BBd, Bobby, Ralph, and Johnny Gill no group ever had that much talent and still revelant today nobody is making movie's about the other group's or talking about them

@@deezerbee81 now...those are the REAL deal! Commodores, LTD, Billy Ocean and on and on... you had to buy tickets for all of them!

Jamall Rogers his brother was friends in the military with my dad, we all lived in the same neighborhood on base. My brother would hang out with his brother’s sons all the time and I’m pretty sure one time Ricky came to visit in a limo and I was super star struck but I was pretty young this was the 80’s.

I know this comment is old but that’s a cool connection. Ricky seems like a genuine guy. Is he really the nice guy I think he is or his he just putting an act on?

A real fan of the music would know that...especially if they grew up in that era...Vlad is a fed

Freddy B Yeah watch his Biopic that just came out on BET

+Makeena Curtis thank god it wasn't sherm!!

Coolies

Freddy B Yeah but he used to flip out like a MF on them laced blunts

We call them woolies in NYC

Exactly that’s why I’m glad he got his movie cause they made him look HORRIBLE it’s sad .

burrvisiontv shes a good women n i dont know her but her character is marvelous

That's what a wife is for- support...no shame in his or her game

Gerald Johnson this is Trues and Awesome

According to his boys, yes. According to Bobby, nope! So yeah...

He has been through some shit.

Yes he has. Quite a bit. I wonder if he is upset that New Edition contradicts him with the cocaine situation

I am sure he cares but what can he do You cant control what people do Just keep it moving

word my boy was getting shitfaced

😂😂😂😂

Haha!!!

Bobby was runnin through everything lol

Love your site shawn keep doing your thing

You got that too😉

prettyinmypearls1908 “Don’t be cruel” was a Bobby Brown solo album.

I know it was his 2nd album but he loves New Edition

Knock it off he nevered said that

@@teejones8279 no he did say like you can look it up on KZfaq there is a interview of him saying but this is also a man that said he had sex with a ghost sooo…..

Vlad is not black so how can he watch BET??

Khalid A Since when is BET only viewed by black people. and for someone like Vlad that participates and makes money off of black culture then I would assume he would do his homework as he is interviewing black artists. I was unaware that BET had a skin tone requirement to view the channel.

@@PoeticAce Relax I was clearly just joking

Khalid A My bad...people been coming at me crazy online with comments lately. Sorry about that.

@@PoeticAce no problem I get the same all the time

And Girl Next Door is the jam

I wanna spend time with youuuuuuu!!! That was my shit!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh BOBBAY!!!

Seventeen....

@King Swift that one hit too!!

@@chacolotland1917 Girlfriend was the lead single from "King Of Stage"

same thing i was just thinking (''o_O)

YES BOBBY AND WHITNEY BOTH DID DRUGS BEFORE THEY MEET EACH OTHER I THINK

Yep...but everybody silent on that.

No one never said that Bobby didn't use drugs, the question was if he got Whitney on drugs. Which he didn't because she was already using when she met Bobby. Maybe it became toxic with both of them using together.

@@fs1743 That's the logical stance. It got worse for both of them when they got together.

No choice

He did drugs too

Trying to make Whitney look worse than him! That's why he waited until she passed away to say it.

He never said that.

@@kailynna2184 exactly.

He probably laced his blunts, but him and Whitney were sniffing str8 up every day. They didn't get each other on drugs. They got each other addicted. Bobby was very selective with his wording.
