This dude is a truly a genius and so underrated as one of the best moguls out! He was so cutting edge with his moves.

[@TAWNdidthat]

Let’s not forget, family man, father. I don’t know Biv personally, but he’s always given us a positive energy.

[@PamelaGrace31]

Always!

[@FAMUAce]

Boyz II Men is my all time favorite group. Thank you Biv for introducing them to the world.

Didn’t he robbed them blind? Heard Bivens gave them one of the worst contracts in history. But ok, lol.

[@FlyAwayChi]

Lets not forget, not only did this man discover Another Bad Creation, Boyz II Men, and 702, but this man was responsible for making Dallas Austin a household name and super producer! A pure legend!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@tgirl1012]

I didn't know he discovered 702

[@TAWNdidthat]

I had to come out of watching this video to say “hell naw, Mike doesn’t get the credit he deserves”. The real fans know. Biv is my muse. Congratulations on the NEXT, man. Love this.

[@davidawilliams252]

Agree. I know Biv Aka sporty rich had fire but I didn't know how much heat he brung. I have to see this documentary.

[@lamarcoupe]

Not just that. I went and watched that East Coast Family video called "1 4 Alll 4 1" He was really about to do some Master P No Limit ish with all those artists on his label. The man had vision.

[@elijahchislom4649]

Muse is crazy

[@resilientred1699]

Man, the teenage house parties were off the chain. I can still hear New Edition playing from the DJ( my friends big bro😊), the lights turned down low, the spiked punch and the nerves about a boy wanting a kiss me. Good, simple and fun times while trying to figure out life. Love and respect them. Great Job Mike. Can’t wait to see it.❤

[@LucilleFlenory]

This man is so underrated!! Michael Bivins is Legendary !!!

[@bjackson1904]

Love hearing Michael Bivens tell his side of the story. Can’t wait to see the documentary!! I already know it’s going to be great!

[@z.h.8454]

Mike Bivins is a teacher in his own rite. Props to biv!

[@earlyn7233]

Love Michael Bivins. I could listen to him talk all day. ❤

[@LucidaGirl]

And that's why Michael Bivins will always be blessed. He has integrity and had zero interest in exploiting artists and children. What a great interview. Cannot like him more. What a solid human being!!!!

[@sharonlaudat3297]

I love Mike Biv’s determination!! And I also agree he doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Thanks for doing this interview. Please invite him back again I’m sure he has a lot more stories to share and to educate.

[@dianecouncil9165]

Thank you Mike Bivins. For All you have done for the culture. I Salute you King.

I’m gon need Mike on Drink Champs immediately

[@BTCBlizzy]

Expeditiously.

[@MrIncognito2020]

The whole of NE or at least BBD

[@SmoothCrmnl80]

Nah that's alright.. because NORE gonna keep cutting him off lol

[@OakCliffTX]

​@@SmoothCrmnl80I was going to make this comment! 😂

[@ACE330]

His interview on math Hoffa expert opinion is FIRE

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

What I like about his documentary is that it puts Mike's entire career in perspective outside of just being a part of New Edition & BBD. It reminds me of when Quincy Jones got his Netflix documentary a few years ago. Most people only connect him to this trio of monster albums with Michael Jackson. However, Jones had a successful career before AND after working with MJ. Yes, the documentary touched on his work with the King of Pop. However, it did an amazing job highlighting other milestones of his career that normally get overshadowed. Mike's documentary was certainly a great watch! Really makes me want more chapters of The New Edition Story focusing more on the individuals of the group in and out of music. Heck Johnny Gill could have a mini-series of his own from his solo career, duo with Stacey, of course he was in N.E. but then went solo again, L.S.G., Heads of State with Ralph & Bobby, etc. There's just so much more to tell from these guys that one day I hope we get to see it!

[@brandonmcbride5742]

Where can I watch it?

[@rosalindhampton7456]

Mike has always been a smiling, nice, swagged out, cool, standup guy who shined in the background and now out front. Wishing him nothing but the absolute best.

[@kingamar8780]

He’s analysis on Boyz II Men -- was spot ☝🏽 on.

[@rochesterjohnson9455]

This man is the absolute truth. I've always had mad respect to Biv. #Icon Salute!

[@carlthomas5307]

I can listen to all the New Edition stories, especially Mike’s. Real, direct and honest 💯

[@roxxxyjoseph688]

Thank you Breakfast Club, You had a really hear-felt Conversation with Michael Bivens !.. I learned so much from the interview with Michael Bivens on his Journey from playing basketball to becoming a Legend in his Own Right he’s a huge part of the Music Industry which is the Business!! I’ll Definitely be watching his Documentary that comes out today!… I Love the Support, Respect of CTG, DJ Envy and Michael Bivens Brotherhood!! 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽👊🏽🥰😎💐💐🔥🔥✌🏽👊🏽❤️🙏🏽😎🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🙏🏽

[@Arcanebrox]

The fact that these grown ass men are “pausing” during a conversation is beyond silly, immature and just plain stupid!!! Y’all’s favorite Charlamagne is so stupid 😂😂😂 and CLEARLY has issues with his own sexuality. What is the need for pause!???? Like wtf man…be grown and just have a simple conversation.

[@annamariegowithme]

I could listen to his Boston accent all day 😅 Always loved new edition and all the groups that came from them

[@Kstyles00]

Mike Biv is still my crush to this day! I will never forget the day I saw NE, Bobby Brown and Al B. Sure in concert with my girl Posse in the late 80’s. Glad to see him getting his flowers 💐

[@christinebryant8354]

I love those story when a brother can say I’ve always worked for what I wanted & did it the right way. Didn’t step on anyone toes to get ahead of the game. Can’t wait to see the Documentary. When Mike said he reached out to some friends & one guy didn’t hit him back. That’s when you learn who your true friends are when your back is against the wall. I take something like that to heart ❤️ & move a little different with that person in the future or not at all. Like he said wasn’t looking to hit up anyone pockets just lead him in the right direction. We’ve all been there when people show you who they really are & that’s a hard pill 💊 to swallow, but learn from it & move on. Congratulations brother for a job well done throughout the years.

Yo Mike, I followed you into Larabee Studios in West Hollywood while BBD was recording Hootie Mack. All the people you encountered trying to get put on. Troop lost Reggie Warren so it's a blessing to see N.E. back together and stronger than ever!!!!! Big ups to the whole NE crew. Keep giving us content and documentaries from your perspective. You tell the story best!!!

Can’t wait to see this doc, Mike Biv always been dope and criminally undervalue as a music exec

[@850dreski]

Mike Biv is a legend and lotta ppl dnt realize the impact dude had in the game

[@Jerimeh]

Perfect interview. Exactly what I expected, the way he answered a lot of those questions was nothing short of genius 🙏🏾 Shout out to you Mike. You always have a fan in me OG.

[@sha0756]

I get emotional anything New Edition, growing up my brother RIP Jamilah would play their cassette tape daily, we shared a room. When side a stopped he would wake up to turn to side b and head back to sleep. Man this group has truly been tested and tried but has shown what consistency is. Everyone one of them are the true definition of an artist. Mike has never changed, never heard bad about him. He has transcended group band duo to business mogul!

[@angelahodgens6018]

I'VE BEEN LOVING THIS MAN SINCE I WAS 14. THE FIRST CONCERT I EVER WENT TO. I BEEN KNOWING HE WAS A SMART CREATIVE SAVAGE. GIVE HIM WHAT'S DUE TO HIM. ANYTIME HE'S IN LOUISVILLE I'M THERE. 🥰🥰🥰

I learned so much in the short interview. It's inspiring even in my 40s to hear the grounds these guys were breaking in the early 20s. I could listen to this brotha talk all day. I know he got so many more stories to tell than footage to show. Looking forward to watching the documentary

Love this authenticity, origin stories and remembering our cultural impact and roots have lasting significance. Opens up a road map for our excellence and complete competency to succeed in any field we take on matters so much, especially today when powers that be attempt to suppress/ re-write settled facts and documented history related to Black Americans. Contributes to sustain a foundation to build for our youth and people of all ages in our community. A good word shared Mr. Mike Bivins 💎🏅
