Ralph Tresvant Says New Edition Members Had More To Offer Than Dancing Behind Him

[@nastee10]

New Edition is the Wu-Tang Clan of R&B. I love the fact that no matter what's going on, whether they're beefing or hatin on each other, at the end of the day they can come back together at any moment to make music together. Like a family.

[@Cashmere.Kufi_88]

Thats 100.. Years back someone asked Mike about Bobby and his ups and downs..Mike told the interviewer that the doors is always open for Bobby New Edition has true brotherhood

I always Loved Ralph. I had a big crush on him when I was a teen in 1983, especially when he became a Young Man. I’ve been following for years, and listens to his radio show. What I really Love about Ralph is he always tried to do what was best for NE, and seem so selfless. I’m glad he’s trying to do his own thing, and speak up for himself about the issues in the group. I’m looking so forward to his new cd and it’s been past his time to shine on his own.
