Stacy Dash baby daddy too...
As dope as he was, he wasn't an innocent victim. Back when "Candy Girl" was popping, we opened for them at Shyran's Showcase. We were in their dressing room chopping it up, and Bob was wildin' THE FUCK OUT! Throwing bottles, breaking shit, pulling on bitches and whatnot. As we were leaving, Shy D says to me, "Yo, Ant, mark my words. That little nigga is always going to be in and out of jail."
I always felt "Promises" was inspired by "Roni".
if there is justice in the world - its the reason he never got as big as Bobby at his peak and ended up running out on or breaching his contract
The foundation was the best part, but it's still good. I'm at NE Heartbreak.
This whole movie is a testament.
Get yours!
The people who were relying on others lost at the end.
With that being said, still gotta know when enough is enough.
Ralph gave too much. Lost.
Ricky gave too much. Lost.
Bobby did too much. Won. Bobby kept doing too much. Look at all the loss around him.
Johnny did enough and was able to stretch his career.
Mike did enough and was able to move into another lane.
Ronnie did enough and secured what he had.

Ya'll REALLY undervaluing my prerogative...
that was a GREAT solo intro record...
cause it fit HIM and DEFINED and let the audience KNOW
I'm Bobby Brown you heard ALL the stories and for the rest of my career It's My Prerogative...
people in the hood didn't even KNOW that word existed before that song and I heard EVERYONE using it after that
and it just fit and defined BB perfectly
So...yes Don't Be Cruel was a MONSTER but that first single?
That Kicked Open the DOOR.
AGREED !!!!
My Prerogative is Bobby Brown's personal mantra.... it has always fit him. Teddy Riley created the perfect marriage between an artist and a song there. That songs was a nuclear bomb on radio it crossed over in a week POP radio loved it too.
Don't be cruel, Every little step, Roni, and Rock Witcha were huge too
That's their brother.... they're from the same projects. They understand and love Bobby, they just can't control him. At Whitney Houston's wedding they were all there as best men

yea that fcked me up too
crazy that none of them had fathers in their lives.
nah man - I'm 20 something years removed from that
what's even crazier is i didn't notice that until you pointed it out...damn
they didn't acknowledge a pops in nam household
One of the first things I noticed. It was why Brooke was/is so important to the group.
You would rescue Bobby Brown from a burning building and he'd say I was so hot the building caught on fire, you're welcome.
you'd be like what?
he'd be like I allowed you to save bobby brown. and he'd walk off.

Man I got this and that Jackson American Dream head to head......this was incredible. Shit felt like a event. They deserved this shit too. They were modest because all of those pop and r&b groups from Jagged Edge to *NSYNC owes New Edition royalties. Especially New Kids on the Block.
New Edition story was great only the 5 Heartbeats is comparable.
What's often neglected about New Edition is they're the bridge between Motown R&B and current hip hop R&B. Without them Hip Hop music may not have transitioned into mainstream America as effortlessly.
Remember they were rapping on bubble gum R&B pop songs in early 80s. Girls were not listening to run dmc but they loved BBD and Bobby Brown. They made hip hop appear safe enough for America. Under appreciated

@ that screencap... those shoulder pads man. Niggas in the 80s were wild with it, rolling to the clubs looking like middle linebackers and shit.
