So, what makes their show great? The musicianship? Are they still performing?
That, and they were great entertainers. It was in their blood. Their dad was a musician. Raphael and Dwayne don't fuck with each other, so no band. Their dad once said he'd love to see the guys get back together, because he's getting older, and Raphael was like, "Sorry, pops. Ain't happening."
Can't wait until this shit is streaming somewhere..... these dudes have some of the first songs I remember really digging. 
Lol @ bootleg Jaime Foxx in the beginning... I did a double take.

Actually Jamie Foxx would be the bootleg Brooke Payne.

Why they fall out?
I never really got the whole story about that. All I know is that Dwayne crossed Raph some way, but I don't know how.
It kills me when he does that move lol. It gets even more funny when you compare whiteguys vocals to Boyz 2 Men vocals lol.Hayden doing that jacket over the shoulder move
and i had thought that one member of Whytegyz was Brian Austin Green(90210/Megan Fox's husband))
Bobby started the group.
This is in elementary AND from the same housing project.
Roots ran deep.
Great minds...
I can't think of too many women in that era that looked better than Lena or sing better than Lena, much less both in the same person.
Judy Garland got who she was from Lena. That tells you all you need to know.
I don't think that shit was necessary lol. I wonder did any of those people drop? I know Boyz 2 Men did and BBD and ABC. Had a lot of acts on there.
Crazy shit is Yvette ended up playing Michael Bivins mom in the movie.
You forgot about MC Brains, who had that "Oochie Coochie" song.
Tam Rock had a hot song "Bozack (Listen Closely)" but after that, nothing. I personally think it was a waste, cause she had it to be probably the second female rap star (after Da Brat).
Those Whiteguys changed their names like 5 times. They had a little buzz as Sudden Impact but that's about it.
Rico is Rico Wade, the producer guy.
Lady V is better known as Val Young, she's been around since like P-Funk days.
And I don't know why they wasn't on this track, but Subway & 702 were both Biv 10 groups as well.
Naw that's not Rico Wade lol. Rico Wade looks nothing like that. But damn I forgot he did have 702 and Subway.......I'm reading on Biv 10 and it looks like he was managing alot of these artists not actually signed to his label. Damn..........that Boyz 2 Men money would've been long. He pretty much was a A&R for Motown it looks like.
Little Richard is screaming now.... they never give me credit! I started all this rock n roll shit Whooo.
The black sissy performer is a popular American archetype... cacs prefer it.
Wonder whatever happened to Cale and Big Ant(dude with the motorcycle ramp hairdo
) also saw the name Khalil but the guy never showed up in the video

Yeah...when I saw that shit I turned the tv. Couldn't watch after that.
That shit was like...meeting your idol. Not that they were to me but that overall feeling of disappointment you would get...yeah...
Like it.
Glad Ricky got clean. Had NO FREAKIN CLUE
Mike was an asshole. Hope he got over that.
Ralph was a pussy. And I mean that in the nicest way. He even let his wife have whatever she wanted. I just wanted to reach through the tv and slap him. Stand up for yourself dammit.
I wonder if he will release that "Living the Dream"? If that track was real...shit was dope.
Aint them dude biological brothers? It has to be over big money or a woman. Unfortunate, they were a very talented group and got a bunch of classic songs.

I agree about Whitney. I would've rather known her as a icon but instead on that show I got something I Didn't need to see.
You think Mike was a asshole and Ralph was pussy? I don't know I didn't get that from them in the movie. Mike kind of flexed on Ralph in that one interview but the way the movie made it out was they kept testing Mike because he was the smallest one. They kept treating him like little brother.
Wait a minute what??
the thumbnail
Man.........Whitney was wilding on there man. I remember thinking damn....Bobby got the rep but he acting alright to me. I was wondering why Bobby was putting up with that shit.
I knew thats what it was, but part of my inner soul wasy praying I was wrong..Now I am wondering what the fuck he did to get that shit out..

If u have cable , its on demand
Looking at the show the 2nd time with my daughter, a few things occurred to me, when they had the show and Bobby hogged up the stage and wanted to shoot the fire hoes at BBD, a lot of that would have been avoided if instead of acting like competitors they co-operated more, for example they could have let Bobby sing Mr Telephone man, and how dope would it have been if Bobby were to join BBD on stage.
Like most young and immature black men, they seem to not be able to communicate their feelings and instead of addressing issues they often would sit on it allowing it to grow then explode.

Ralph was loyal to a fault. When they was kids, it was commendable. As they got older, it became sad. I don't fault him for it - it's a nice character trait to have. I'm just saying at some point as a PERSON, as a MAN, you gotta stand up for yourself. The icing on the cake was when he didn't stand up to his wife during the divorce scene. It's a pattern with him, and you can't go through life like that all the time.
Mike ended up doing what was done to him when he became an executive. Saying the same shit, "But did you read the contract?" That's an asshole. I don't think he was that much of an ass to NE, simply because he was learning and just knew something had to change. But when it got to the end...yeah...it seem pretty assholeish how he's treating his 'clients'.
Dem dudes been through a lot though. And still touring. I commend them for coming out the other side in tact.
What did Toni Tony Tone Fall outs about?
Yeah, and the 3rd member was a cousin, IIRC.
Don't really know. All I know is Dwayne crossed Raph some kinda way.
Ralph is sensitive. So sensitive he sung a song about it to the world.
My sister came over last night and we watch episode 2 and 3. I said the same thing about Michael Bivins doing the same thing to his Artist as was done to him. It is a trend, a very sad Trend in music. Whatever our get their own label and their own list of talent instead of doing better by their artists may end up screwing over there artists the same way they were screwed over.
I can sing, but I never really took my shot. I remember when I sign for Eric Benet at his concert in Cleveland and he gave me as manager's number and I didn't call. I wonder what would have become of me. Would it have been the standard first album hot, second album lukewarm third album okay A Greatest Hits and bye bye godofwine?
Over a girl or over money? Its usually one of the two. Sometimes it's Petty, like somebody to talk to a girl that you wanted to talk to and that you had a crush on but never had the nerve to talk to her. Sometimes with money it's your partner getting a deal on the side to make twice what you make
