New Edition biopic - this actually looks interesting!!

[RoadRage]

they both got high before they met each other. how you think they came up with this:

Man looking back at that video is proof that fucking with hard drugs is like having HIV, you can hide it at first but after a while it comes out roaring it's ugly head, and once the physical symptoms start to appear, death is usually around the corner. ..

 

[dtownsfinest]

Man watching this shit was GREAT. But man I came out of it understanding Bobby.

He deserved to be kicked out of the group don't get me wrong but this cat got kicked out of the group and became bigger than ALL OF THEM put together. I know you couldn't tell him shit. I think Don't Be Cruel did what like 5 or 6 times platinum or some shit? Imagine being the dude that everyone pretty much alienated.....go back to the hood and start doing hood shit and snorting booger sugar.....then someone hits you up and say we owe you a solo album and that shit ends up being bigger than life. You already thought you should've been the lead singer and then you become the biggest singer in the world? Shit man I get it.

Ralph got fucked over in all of this. I feel like Don't BE Cruel was suppose to be Ralph's album. MAybe not though. That had the edge of Bobby in it. Ralph went more of the more softer route with his shit but you never know if that was because Bobby dropped first or if he just planned on making that music.

Hold on man.....she had just had a baby how high could she have been getting at that point?

All this can be blamed on Maurice Starr tho, as you can see most of the guys could sing, except Ronnie..lol, but he only wanted to push Ralph as the only singer. The group still went big but imagine how bigger they would've been if he had let all the guys show their talents on the early songs.

 

[pookie]

Hold on man.....she had just had a baby how high could she have been getting at that point?

I could be wrong but cokeheads don't usually get hooked on coke, stop doing it when they get pregnant and then start doing it again when the baby comes

 

[TimRock]

Ralph got fucked over in all of this.

he was trying to be loyal to his friends. It cost him in the end.

i thought there was gonna be a situation where Rakph smashed that chic Bobby was with, when he came in the crib and they had just finished eating. she was giving him the eye like she wanted to creep.

 

[dtownsfinest]

they both got high before they met each other. how you think they came up with this:

Y'all thought Meek snagging Nicki was something....this dude Bobby went and got the baddest female in the WORLD with her resume.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Someone help me out here though. Is this how the time frame was? These dudes dropped solo albums and their group album altogether? That's crazy. They essentially had 4 hits all around the same time.......

he was trying to be loyal to his friends. It cost him in the end.

i thought there was gonna be a situation where Rakph smashed that chic Bobby was with, when he came in the crib and they had just finished eating. she was giving him the eye like she wanted to creep.

Man I don't remember that scene lol.

I'll say this for them. Usually females start some shit and riffs but they never let females get in between them.

But you right. Too loyal. Bobby started the shit.......but Ralph could've ended that shit and didn't. Fucked up he got the short end of the stick because in their run he was the most famous and afterward he ended up having probably the least success.

Chris Robinson KILLED this movie....he nailed essentially everything.....did about 30 years in 6 hours...or probably like 3.5 if you take off the commercials lol. I didn't know this interview was real...



You can tell Ralph is salty then and rightfully so. Everybody essentially bragging about what they all doing and Ralph can't really say shit because he was asked to do this Heart Break album right quick.

I could be wrong but cokeheads don't usually get hooked on coke, stop doing it when they get pregnant and then start doing it again when the baby comes

Yeah but doing coke like we suspect they did all the time....I would think it would do something to the baby. I always thought her addiction came further down the line then that.

 

[RoadRage]

Hold on man.....she had just had a baby how high could she have been getting at that point?

I don't know, but what I said was you fuck with hard drugs and eventually that shit will come out like HIV and when you get that druggie look, death is usually around the corner.. That statement is for the new generation who think they can abuse hard drugs with out any consequences the same way every generation before them thought the same exact thing.

 

[ViCiouS]

Did they dry snitch on Bobby by kind-of-dicking his claim that it was Whitney that introduced him to coke.

Notice they showed him packaging work for sale not snorting. Everytime he was portrayed as high it was weed

Lol, did anyone really believe that? This is the dude that invented the Gumby. Had to be high to do that shit.

IMO - Bobby is taking one for the team... since Whitney died he hasn't defended himself once, taking on whatever blame or bad.

Was it him or his label?

It was him - for some reason he didn't want to do shows or promotions

3T had talent like that?

had? shit people still praying for raf to get back with the band...
super tight band - great music -stage show is one of the best I ever saw...

they both got high before they met each other. how you think they came up with this:

they both never gave a fuck

 

[ViCiouS]

Man looking back at that video is proof that fucking with hard drugs is like having HIV, you can hide it at first but after a while it comes out roaring it's ugly head, and once the physical symptoms start to appear, death is usually around the corner. ..

- think Magic Johnson - same shit - you got a lot of very rich crack and meth heads - functional addicts

Yeah but doing coke like we suspect they did all the time....I would think it would do something to the baby. I always thought her addiction came further down the line then that.

she was on it before she got famous

Y'all thought Meek snagging Nicki was something....this dude Bobby went and got the baddest female in the WORLD with her resume.

No disrespect to the dead,buuuut whitney wasnt aa bad bih

 

[woodchuck]

When Bob sang, "Don't get me wrong, I'm really not souped. Ego trips are not my thing.", I'll bet the guys were like

 

[woodchuck]

No disrespect to the dead,buuuut whitney wasnt aa bad bih

Cats in the industry were laughing at him when they got together. I remember one person, who shall remain nameless, saying, "Damn, that nigga was just supposed to fuck her, not marry the bitch!"

 

[Complex]

No disrespect to the dead,buuuut whitney wasnt aa bad bih

She had a nice face when she was young, but she had zero body

Cats in the industry were laughing at him when they got together. I remember one person, who shall remain nameless, saying, "Damn, that nigga was just supposed to fuck her, not marry the bitch!"

 

[dtownsfinest]

No disrespect to the dead,buuuut whitney wasnt aa bad bih

I don't mean in looks I mean as in status. She was the biggest artist in the country during her run. In the world.

They bugging. Whitney wasn't ugly man stop it lol. Out of all the shit Bobby did in his life his most successful move was nutting in Whitney.

 

[theoriginalgreatone]

Excellent

 

[ViCiouS]

They bugging. Whitney wasn't ugly man stop it lol. Out of all the shit Bobby did in his life his most successful move was nutting in Whitney.

she was gorgeous- BUT not to talk ill of the dead, because of her history and habits -she wasn't the girl you choose marry
that's where jokes were coming from

 

[A to Dah K]

Meh

 

[BlkStrength]

Anyone else remember that reality show "Being Bobby Brown".

Back in the day, we saw that and it showed Whitney as being way crazier than Bobby.
I hear Whitney's family has banned it from being shown again.

 

[Jboogiee]

Which is better, that or this...








Word, didn't know Jeffrey Osborne was in a group before he went solo.

And Jeffrey started out as the drummer for LTD before he became the lead singer.

 

[Jboogiee]

Story of his life. I saw him being shook having to follow Tony, Toni, Tone' one year. It was Jerry Wu, 3 T, and then him. 3 T MURDERED that shit, and he had to follow them.

I saw Al B. Sure when he opened up for NE on the Heartbreak tour in Buffalo NY.,Bobby kicked the show off with a slammin 2o min. set that had the place going bonkers...Al was next and was straight trash and of course NE did their thing. Why they put Al in the middle is beyond me.

 

[Complex]

I don't mean in looks I mean as in status. She was the biggest artist in the country during her run. In the world.

Was she bigger then Janet Jackson or Madonna?

I think it would be like getting Beyonce or Rihanna, but her fuckability level to me was a lot lower.

 

[woodchuck]

she was gorgeous- BUT not to talk ill of the dead, because of her history and habits -she wasn't the girl you choose marry

Exactly!

 

[dtownsfinest]

I think it would be like getting Beyonce or Rihanna, but her fuckability level to me was a lot lower.

At that point.......i thought Whitney was the biggest. I think Whitney was beautiful but she wasn't my type. She always gave me momma or auntie vibes. But she had bread and Bobby reaped them benefits.

 

[dtownsfinest]

I remmber that. WAsn't a good look at all for Whitney. Bobby did look more tame then her. I remember that scene where she was talking about being constipated and Bobby having to go and get the shit man..........

 

[dtownsfinest]

she was gorgeous- BUT not to talk ill of the dead, because of her history and habits -she wasn't the girl you choose marry
that's where jokes were coming from

I get it........but you could've done worse is all i'm saying. You knocking down the biggest artist in the world. You knocking down someone who can essentially do and get anything they want. All the cocaine you could ever want.

 

[Joe Money]

I'm laughing at this right here (Let the conspiracies from niggas trying to make money off this commence):

1990s R&B SHOCKER: Bobby Brown Was TOO HIGH . . . And So Ralph Tresvant Was The Person . . . That Actually Sang ‘EVERY LITTLE STEP’!!

January 28, 2017: We all know, especially after watching the BET New Edition special that Ralph Tresvant and Bobby Brown were really good friends.


Well according to Bobby’s then-manager, Steven Machat, Ralph did the ultimate Friend move – he stepped in and sang for Bobby on one of his biggest hits.

Bobby’s manager claims that Bobby got so HIGH ON DRUGS, during the recording of Every Little Step, that he couldn’t sing – and that his homie Ralph stepped in and sang for him.

Here are Steven’s exact words, via DazedDigital:

“We did not have a full album because Bobby was not capable of finishing more songs. The beginning and last tracks of the album I did with MCA A&R Louis Silas so the album would be filled with numbers. The song ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ is on there three times! Silas begged Babyface and L.A Reid to produce it – Bobby did not show up at the studio. He only came by sometimes to try to sing. And that was an endless wait. Drugs were part of the make-up of this album. Bobby was missing from the studio when we were scheduled to finish ‘Every Little Step’.

He was on a drug run and New Edition’s Ralph Tresvant was waiting for him. Babyface and L.A were about to leave, so Ralph filled in.

‘Every Little Step’ has two singers. Bobby and Ralph. Go back and listen to the lead vocals. Then listen to Ralph.”

Here is the song, listen to it – it does kinda sound like Ralph in some parts. HOLY SH*T!!

Listen to the "No matter what you're friends tried to tell ya/we were made to fall in love...and we can be together..." part. Sounds like Ralph there.

had? shit people still praying for raf to get back with the band...
super tight band - great music -stage show is one of the best I ever saw...

OK! You're talking about Tony, Tone, Toni! I thought you were talking about those Jackson kids! I'm slow. lol

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

It's actually good enough to watch again

 

[KingTaharqa]

It's actually good enough to watch again

Up there with Temptations, 5 Heartbeats, Jackson 5 movie.

But a Bobby Brown solo movie based on his recent autobiography though,

 

[THE DRIZZY]

Other biopics I would like to see done right:

Jodeci (for obvious reasons)
Guy (Teddy Riley and Aaron Hall would get the most shine from beginning up until the New Jack Swing sound died out)
Tony Tone Toni (Raphael Sidiiq would get the most shine)
R. Kelly (His Public Announcement beginnings to the underage booty eating scandal)
En Vogue (hugely successful woman group who disappeared by the mid 90's)

 

[RoadRage]

Was she bigger then Janet Jackson or Madonna?

I think it would be like getting Beyonce or Rihanna, but her fuckability level to me was a lot lower.

Dude Whitney was like one of the greatest voices ever, arguably 2nd to Aritha.. Whitney was a legendary star for the ages not just some pop star who is hot now.

OK! You're talking about Tony, Tone, Toni! I thought you were talking about those Jackson kids! I'm slow. lol

He got me with that also..
Plus acts like 3T, Ralf Tresvant and to an extent Terence Trent D'arby kind of suffered from the no homo movement that erupted following the Milli Vanilli debacle where the soft sensitive black man got played the fuck out making room for the gangster rap and bad boy image of music.
Even staples like Prince and MJ saw sales dip during this period of time.
And to make matters even worse, it was around this period of time that Magic announce his HIV status, causing an Aids panic in the black community, where's-by the down low brother became vilified. It was during this period of time that most of the so called gay bashing that they always talk about became most prevalent.
Folks remember, the homo agenda was in full swing prior to that where a lot of the gay shit you see today was being forced down our throats (no homo), but that failed movement led to the strong black man movement that followed.

OK! You're talking about Tony, Tone, Toni! I thought you were talking about those Jackson kids! I'm slow. lol

I thought he was too I was finding it hard to believe that the three Tito's was out here out singing anyone.

Yeah but doing coke like we suspect they did all the time....I would think it would do something to the baby. I always thought her addiction came further down the line then that.

I remember Sherry Carter had a phat ol ass.......
