[@purplelover3626]

Yea I thought the same thing…definitely holding back …but I’ve read their books and know these stories more in detail. I wish they could have talked about it in person for the ones that didn’t read the books. Plus their wives know who they married… and they were both with other women at the time so it shouldn’t be a big deal. They could tell the stories without implicating others plus it’s already out there. I always wanted to see them talk because they’ve been friends for so long so you know it’s genuine with them.

This was a good one. New Edition to me is definitely one my Mount Rushmore of greatest singing groups of all time, not just R&B but all genres of music groups. From New Edition we got Bobby, we got BBD, we got Johnny Gill & while Ralph may not have had as much success solo he still showed us some Sensitivity. Not to mention groups who came up after them that Michael Bivens founded. Boys II Men, 702, Another Bad Creation, etc. Again, they're definitely the GOATS of this music 💩🤷🏾‍♂️

The greatest Supergroup of all time. NE4LIFE!!!

[@Ashley_x_Smith]

I too lost my son to suicide when he'd only just turned 27 two years ago, his mother followed the same way 6 months ago. Both Mike and Bobby give such inspiration as I know we've all walked simular paths and know their pain yet they're speak so eloquently and wisdom. Adversity definitely does make the weak weaker and the strong stronger but it takes time to find that strength. To anyone who's going through adversity be patient. The miracle of a life worth living is there for all who can open their heart and find love for God and themselves. The price of love is grief, there are no goodbyes only love. One ❤️
