I never get tired of their interviews

[@CodyCole80]

Nyesha Brooks ... Me neither 😂

[@hotfries8589]

Nyesha Brooks ikr

[@briannagrant9779]

Nyesha Brooks Same girl cause they be telling unexpected tea 😏

[@rascal7855]

likewise I have watched every interview since the movie and the 3 stripes album

[@lexygomillion7230]

Me either!

[@Serinity777]

Ricky is so philosophical. i love to hear him talk

[@robinlight]

Naturally Oh my god me too!

[@expertonmyself]

the hell? uhm, they've never won a grammy?! "can you stand the rain?" should win one in retro, 'cause that is CLASSIC.

[@jamarrogers2985]

Now that's some crazy bizarre shhhh.. smmfh

[@iwillmusic6090]

I'm glad they didn't highlight Bobby Brown in the movie. Because NE fans like myself and others already knew about Bobby on a basic level...but never knew about Ron, Ralph, or Mike PERSONALLY...ESPECIALLY RICKY! Who knew he went through that because you couldn't find anything about Ricky online outside of NE, BBD, and his solo album back in 2000. Then a lot of us didn't know Brooke Payne in a personal level either. So the movie gave us fans a deeper insight of the actual GROUP in and outside of music.

[@iwillmusic6090]

@Emontre Waters the beat & raped in prison part I’m not sure about...everything else, whew.... he’s a true survivor

[@RC-he4qm]

Great to see black men rolling together for life...ENDURANCE & POWER.

[@PeaceNotPerfextion]

Yes Indeed🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Akosiadu]

I love the way Ronnie talks 😂😂😂

[@babd7176]

Letwap19 SMOOTH LIKE BUTTA

[@candygirl1200]

Letwap19 I love him period he's just um um um

[@curtissimmons2287]

Letwap19 he too cool

[@PaperLove25]

I know right. He sounds like a cool guy!😎

[@tareekaherring8415]

This is tilfaun. I love bbd! I love Ronnie voice !

[@dee27206]

After the movie I've become obsessed with these guys all over again. I really have been an NE fan forever. Also fans of them individually BOBBY, BBD, RALPH TRESVANT, AND JOHNNY GILL. 😍😍

[@tanyashavelle1703]

that's right Biv. me and my girls were out there in that rain screaming, singing for our favorite boy band. That star was well deserved!!! 30+ years and still going!!!

[@greatestoftheseislove738]

BET raised the bar for biopics.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Respect to the entire NE crew- Bobby, Mike, Ricky, Ralph, Ronnie, Johnny & Brooke!!! The NE movie was top notch- the cast did a wonderful job!!!!! It should have been 5 nights as so much was left out even just going up to 2005. NE movie pt 2 from 2005-2017/18???

[@mrsain19]

wouldnt have minded more insight into their solo projects as well, even the ones that didnt do so well over the years, or the ones that were slept on, like Ricky's solo joint.

[@MrWARBUCKS24]

D could've definitely showed how large don't be cruel was for Bobby

[@IceManLikeGervin]

As well as seeing them receive NE/solo music awards, the NE/Guy tour fight in 1989 that left 1 person dead, Blue Moon/NE Christmas album era, Ralph's drug issues, how Eddie Murphy helped the fellas out, seen the families move out of the projects, Bad Boy Records/One Love situation, Ricky's solo project Ricardo Campana, Ronnie's rap career and much more....

[@beattheodds6219]

they wanted it to be 5 nights. BET said nah, 2 nights. and they fought for 3 nights. and Got it

[@GlobalEnigma64]

As epic as the series was I wished they would have gotten the 5 nights as Biv requested.

[@YoungAfricansDreamNAC]

Ricky is such an articulate humble man this is what makes a man sexy. Ronnie ages like fine 🍷 and Michael is just coy and shy but at the same time expressive. ☺️ I absolutely love them💋🌹

[@antoinedodsonsbandana5856]

They've all had lasting marriages because they knew to "never trust a big butt and smile" lmao 😂😂😂

[@mscourt]

Antoine Dodson's Bandana Mike's wife has a big butt and a nice smile

[@Nichele1234]

Antoine Dodson's Bandana lmao this comment is Golden!! 😂😂😂

[@antoinedodsonsbandana5856]

Nechee Rose I'm glad it made you laugh! Lol 😉😂

[@zioniahfreeman9656]

+mscourt 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@terrywalker2437]

Hilarious!!!

[@Deb.-on9ep]

I love Yaz on Empire. And I'll tell you not once did I think of Empire when watching Yaz act as Mike.

[@curtissimmons2287]

Deborah jjo hopefully he can transition over and people not see him as yazz

[@menerva4]

Co-signed: and you would think that because of the setting of Empire and Hakim being a rap artist that it would be the same. I didn't see Hakim either, I saw Mike Bivins, and that is a testament to Bryshere Gray's acting chops. That boys got talent.

[@milamnwalker4801]

I wanted to comment the same thing. That really takes raw talent. Not alot of actors could do that so well, amd so fresh off of another role.

[@neofutur-ist2662]

I am so, so happy for these bruthas, I can't say it enough. They deserve all of this attention they are getting right now. Long overdue! #ne4life

[@carmellabreedlove314]

WHY DON'T THEY HAVE A GRAMMY !!!!!??????💔💔💔💔💔

[@phix01]

Fuck Tupac. He wasn't that great! Yall need to really get off his dick cuz he's dead. mentioning Tupac is just being Politically Correct but it isn't Real or warranted.

[@globalbellaire]

phix ur illiterate

[@kenyaloveful]

I'm almost in my late 30s I'm trying to come out as a new artist.

[@reginalddurley4162]

GRAMMYS IS TRASH!!! IF YOU NOTICED BACK THAN THE SAME ARTISTS GET AWARDS EVERY YEAR. OJAYS NEVER WON A GRAMMY

[@melanielazare9]

@@phix01 love your statement. Priceless 😂

[@MrBanks434]

My 6 year old son has been obsessed with New Edition since this came out. I think this biopic is hands down the best one ever done. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. This has impacted many lives. I promise you

[@mrsain19]

Biv took it very easy on Angie, because he has been putting the steam on the other NYC radio personalities over not just the last week or 2, but the last few months. Biv is not afraid lol. Shout outs to Biv for going to bat for NE in that major market. He has been trying to get NE the proper attention for years, and he is calling out them all for bandwagon jumping and for any shady comments. And watching them all back pedal is amusing. Especially ebro and envy. Flex too, to an extent. I think this also should put to rest the whole narrative of is their beef between NE and NKOTB. The beef was with Maurice Starr, not the NKOTB. As Biv just said, Donnie knows that NE likes them. Ronnie said he had went to some of their shows too. An NE/NKOTB concert would be historic. A bit of a different demographic, but it could work if marketed properly.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

The NE/NKOTB tour was suppose to happen a few years ago along with an album but the only thing that materialized was a song between the 2 groups. A current NE/NKOTB tour would sell out arenas in my mind... NE may sell out arenas by themselves with all the hype they have going for them now.

[@liveniggas]

+IceManLikeGervin Definitely

[@ramblingsofamusicfan9997]

The BET series has put them back in demand...deservedly so. Hopefully they can get it together

[@nikkibadio9539]

They also did a song together on an NKOTB album. It's called Full Service.

[@mrsain19]

Nikki Badio theres a clip floating around out there of the making of the song, as well as a handful of live performances that a couple of NE guys did with NKOTB.

[@Workitouttt711]

Angie does great interviews💞BBD represented well😘

[@lashaydavis8593]

I love this interview it's amazing that NE have gained a new generation of fans after the movie. And rightfully so because this movie is excellent I can't stop watching it myself. It's good to know that the guys have put all their cards on the table and talked out their issues and hopefully the healing process will begin for them as a group. I am patiently waiting for that NE album and tour. :)

[@latashathomas4239]

I need tickets to this concert. Taking the whole family. Mom, aunts, uncles, hubby, kids...we in there.

[@Mzshonndale84]

September 10th 1996, I cried and begged my mother for almost a month to buy that Home Again CD for me. baby when i saw it I cried!!!!! I will never forget doing extra chores around the house so I could get money for right on magazines just for the New Edition posters and pictures. Y'all have a FAN for life!!!!!!!!

[@preciouswilliams22]

YESSSSSSS!! Angie Martinez & BBD..... certified legends in the building!!!

[@donna9780]

This movie was off the chain. I grew up with New Edition and I have watched the movie too many times. Excellent Excellent movie

[@patrickgray4612]

I live for this group. This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE GROUP of all time. I could listen to their interviews all day long.

[@carolynhowell772]

Biv is very outspoken.

[@daem1962]

I'm so happy for these guys

[@1Radioriot]

I never realized how great of a singer Ricky was til I heard the “When will I see you smile again” remix

[@Mone333Williams]

Y'all sleep on ol slick Rick ❤

[@alonzotanner1226]

Fuckin LOVE BBD and New Edition even more. I can never get sick of their stories. And I think it so humble of them that they never get sick of telling them over and over again. They seem more humble than I'd expect too.

[@DJbrandino94]

Crazy how BBD was so overlooked when Ralph, Bobby, Johnny went solo. But Poison Album is second best after Bobby's "Don't Be Cruel". Poison was better then Ralph's solo IMO

[@michaelwillis2032]

Man Money poison wasnt overlooked the Poison album was a beast more than Ralph's and Johnny's

[@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484]

BBD was NEVER overlooked..the Poison album sold more than Johnny and Ralph solo albums put together

[@JRD72]

Man these boys really have a soft spot for Bobby !

[@IsaiahJohnsoncocoinc]

R Dumas He's been through a lot. Admittedly some of it was his fault. But he really gets a bad rep. It's nice to see his brothers keeping him in their hearts.

[@JRD72]

Isaiah Johnson I feel like they all went through a lot tho. I just feel like Bob has this "I'm the star I make the money attitude. " Did you hear what Mike said? Bob thought was "y'all need me to complete the shine" . even with that attitude the boys still didn't want to really sign without him . Ppl only know about Bob because of Whitney. Period.

[@IsaiahJohnsoncocoinc]

R Dumas Well I wouldn't say that they just didn't know about Bobby Brown before his marriage. I knew of Bobby before Whitney actually. And let's be honest, out of the six of them, who had the better career? Bell Biv DeVoe? Ralph Tresvant? Johnny Gill? No, now they had success. But not to the level of Bobby.

[@IsaiahJohnsoncocoinc]

+R Dumas And let's be honest, Bobby's life was a watchable car crash. But the son of a bitch fixed it.

[@JRD72]

Your right about him fixing it thankfully 🙌🏿. And idk I feel like ppl my age and younger(25 and below) only know about Bobby because he was married to Whitney . Ppl older than that will prob know his music much better so your right about that

[@PeaceNotPerfextion]

Damn shame that they never won a Grammy!!! These men are legends🙏🏾

[@darilyntyrese5935]

This was SO good! I sat in Chipotle and watched the whole thing! 🤣😂🤣

[@beattheodds6219]

Darilyn Tyrese using up Chipotle wifi I see

[@darilyntyrese5935]

LOL! You know it.

[@Awillii]

lol

[@sweetgoldilocs2]

That new BBD is album is crazy!!!!!!!

[@nkwms]

sweetgoldilocs goldilocs I agree!! It's so so good!

[@CalliopexMaria]

Nichole Williams their song with SWV is EVERYTHING

[@TrueSankofa7]

especially the last 5 songs

[@ceolapage6706]

The movie was great! These guys have been through a lot. 30 years in the industry, I consider them legends. The movie was well deserved, everyone wanted to hear their story. I know I did. I luv their Boston accents. I just luv them period! I luv Angie too!

[@Deb.-on9ep]

You always hear the phrase, pass the baton. When you talk about Motown, the Temptations, Miracles and all the musical geniuses, you can actually see the baton being passed to these young cats, New Edition. Like that hard core MC, I cried throughout various parts of the movie. And the one scene that took me away was watching the actors in the studio singing Can You Stand the Rain. It was such a nice answer for me to the questions the other members would ask, when are we gonna get a chance to sing? And to see them sitting there together, singing Stand the Rain, and then their reactions at the end, reply that, I want to hear it again. Man, that was so sweet! And I have had so many of my family and friends ask me if I cried too, because they all were shedding tears! And with Trump, the protesting, not knowing what the future holds, this movie was right on time. It gave America a break from the madness to enjoy a lovely, huge piece of musical history and the legacies of the NEW EDITION. So these interviews, which I've watched just as many times as the movie, are the cherry on top!

[@jqg124]

tell brooke payne to do da breakfast club frfr

wow I love this group it really takes me back to the glory days I took my 3 sons to their concert at Astroworld in Houston Texas we all loved it and still do

[@dspeakingdattruth6349]

This was a Really Really good 💯👍interview !!! I'm a guy & gotta say the movie bought a tear to my eyes to bcuz of like new edition song say, "these are the things that change BOYS TO MEN"!! Seeing these guys go GROW thru it all, & never abandoned a memeber,disowned & held a grudge..There's a lesson in that people, #LoveandUnderstanding is what truly matters !!!

[@domikayeary578]

Dtrell aka Wow...truth!

[@robinlight]

My fav line from Yazz in the movie! " I got shit to do." HA that scene was everything for me!!

[@KimberlyKristenExperience]

I love love New Edition!!!!! So happy for them!!!! Good Brothers!!! Nothing but love Baby!!!!

[@felisamestre]

I will never get tired of watching it!!! So much insight for the diehard fans! Great interview !

[@MrJuice1276]

39 years of New Edition. Frig the Grammys!!!!

[@IsaiahJohnsoncocoinc]

Paul Johnson Nah, be blunt. FUCK the Grammys.

[@ipodrogify]

What was so dope was how they played music from the era they came up on. At the end, they played the "Let's Get Married" remix by Jagged Edge. The original version appeared on "JE Heartbreak", a album paying homage to NE.

[@Mzshonndale84]

I cried throughout the movie!! I Loooove New Edition!!!

[@SingKiaMuze]

God, I love them. 33 years later. Still in love.

[@mauricebastian8591]

Great group!!! I met three out of six in San Antonio. Ralph, Bobby and Ron were cool as hell. Especially Ralph and Bobby, they talked to me and my boys for an hour like they knew us for years.

[@kmetzgr9594]

The kid who played grown Mike Biv sounds just like him

[@mpound97]

Grew up listening to these guys and it was news back then when Bobby left. Good to see they're really getting the recognition that they deserve even though some might say it was long overdue.

[@Jonesybabie]

Watch #NewEdition singlehandedly be the reason #HipHopisResurrected. My 12 y/o son LOVED the NE movie as well as the other artist songs featured. He's been YouTubing R&B and HipHop from the 70s and 80s now. Thanks to ALL involved for allowing us to step back in time and relive our youth thru this story!

[@domikayeary578]

Love Jones My son too!lol

[@Serinity777]

Ronnie's deep voice revive my entire existence like damnnnn😍

[@justshayent5792]

Naturally ronnie and ricky

[@aquarianink5385]

RUN-DMC opened for NE!?!? An amazing story: keep moving BBD.

[@MrWARBUCKS24]

Aquarian Ink a lot of hip hop acts opened for NE

I remember the Fat Boys talking about how much fun they were having with New Edition on tour.

[@andrewstaples7544]

[@MsRiverRogue]

Her best interview by far!!!

[@ciarajohnson7673]

I never get enough of watching their interviews and i always want to be a singer and i really want my shine.

[@tendanevanessawilliam3605]

can the story continue. is just amazing.

[@gbitm]

I pray the new NE album has a very mature sound along the lines of the song they did with JG. That song is amazing and if they can pull off an album with that adult sound, that would be slamming.

[@markdandridge4433]

Just watched the whole Interview. What a wonderful way to top off the Mini Series. Ron was Instagram Live Streaming and said there will possibly be a DVD/ Blue Ray of the NE Movie.

[@Keepitreal6]

I love them so much. Such genuine people

[@raycuzz21]

this really brings back a lot of great memories I'm surprised I have never caught a New Edition concert I've caught a BBD concert but not a new edition one

[@lenoramorrisey965]

Love the honesty and unity, the table talk, awesome🎉😘

[@anwion]

This is my first time watching BBD interview lol but I always listened to their joints ultimate classic!

[@PrezidentJafar]

first record i ever had was the "cool it now" joint so happy to see everyone together again

[@robbyspades]

This movie was the greatest thing that could've happened

[@berrynelson4859]

Shaquille Wilkins I was in a rap group but I need my singing chance

[@youngreece864]

I'm 21, I can't dance but I can sing 😂 let's do this

[@TheeCheleMarie]

youngreece864 that's alright, we'll get Uncle Brooke to help out lol... What can we call ourselves?? 😂

[@archnem]

I have to say , the reason It was a hard sell : New Edition is a very hood and urban R&B group. And some people that only listen to Mainstream hear all the hits , but they dont know its all connected. My sister text me the night of the movie like... I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT BOYS II MEN ??!! And all through my life when Im watching a documentary or behind the music on the group , my kids are always like , WAIT.. BBD IS IN NEW EDITION?? OR .. BOBBY BROWN WAS IN NEW EDITION??

[@Afrikenylove]

Eric Ledesma ME

[@rheaa1400]

Great interview!

I hope next year than can do the super bowl half time show even the actors who played them

That's a stretch

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

Great movie, well put together. Enjoyed this podcast. I loved N. E Heartbreak, used to be my favorite. These guys are legends.

[@ghanasoul]

i like the sound of Angie's voice. There's a hint of an accent that reminds me of latinas from Spanish Harlem. Great interview!

[@babd7176]

[@chiangthoat4041]

I cried so much after watching part. 3

[@ginasays1]

I can't wait for the tour!!!😮😮😮😮

[@michelekinloch1538]

So mature 👍🏾

[@terriblack3188]

You can tell they've resolved some things since the movie came out. That breakfast club interview last week or so before the movie aired was so tense they sounded bitter. This is much more refreshing to see.

[@clevawoman]

I don't think they sounded bitter. I think they sounded honest.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

They were honestly bitter.......lol Good 2 see that the fellas recognize that you only live once as they all except Johnny came from the projects to right here and now together as a team. That movie was like therapy for the fellas to understand each others views and sacrifices (Ralph not leaving the fellas behind in the OP projects when Streetwise Records offered him a solo deal) each other made.

[@tanyashavelle1703]

Bitter? NOPE! I detected no bitterness at all. It was real talk the good, bad and the ugly. i love the realness. It aint all pretty and they put it out there. Not bitter, better and blessed

[@nnamdionyido4885]

...much love to the fellas...nice interview with Angie Martz...

[@antoinettehaygood876]

Excellent interview!!

[@mandyone4022]

Great interview guys! :-)

MY TWIN,HER KIDS AND MY MOM HAVE WATCHED IT 3 TIMES OR MORE EACH. NO LIE.

[@CarloAnton]

Look up to these guys. God bless them!

[@antoinedodsonsbandana5856]

I really thought The New Edition Story would unite all of them. Sadly we're only seeing the members of BBD instead. I hope we get to see all 6 members together again soon though.

[@TheeCheleMarie]

The working on a new album and tour now :)

[@emancipatedtalent]

Antoine Dodson's Bandana Theyrepromoting a new album. And if you listened to the interview then you heard them say they're coming w/ a new NE tour and music.

[@antoinedodsonsbandana5856]

+Richard Murphy I did listen to the interview and I heard all that. The point I was trying to make, was that the other 3 members of New Edition don't seem to joining these 3 on any of the interviews, which makes me wonder if things are not going so well between them behind the scenes. Either way, I'm really looking forward to new music from New Edition ☺

[@janiekamccracken2558]

I cried too...

[@ladybugsgreen553]

wow!.Such a great interview!! Good interviewer!

[@allsmilez13]

I can tell Mike don't hold back. They were right to cast Yazz as him cause Hakeem ass don't hold back neither lol

[@allsmilez13]

Yoooo I'm just getting to the end of the interview...I could listen to them talk all day!
