When living in ATL I worked at sprint store as a technician and Ronnie came into the store one night and needed his phone fixed because it wasnt working right and I damn near hit the roof because I grew up on these guys and am a big fan of the group..this guy came in and was acting like he wasnt a star or part of a mega group..was so humble and asked could I fix his phone..man forget fix his phone I just gave him another one and he sat their and talked to me for about 30min..best day of my life so to my man Ron thanks for the memory bro and god bless you all
@@reginaldwilliams6241 Actually I checked the phone and that model was known to fail so it was not against the rules in fact the technicians job at that time was to make sure that the customer was satisfied...did him being a member of my favorite group play a part in my decision...probably....lol but no it was not against the rules...the last question about extra money..no we are not allowed to take money as long as they had the insurance plan on the phone
Props for getting his life together after putting himself through so much over the years. He has cleaned up a lot in recent years, mentally and physically. Like Sway said, we need to stop focusing on the wrong and celebrate when folks do well. But yes, agree to disagree.
I've never seen an interview with these dudes as introspective and educational as there were in this one. Sway lobbed up the questions and they each ran clinics.
Just looking at your comment I can tell I will like this interview way more then again I prefer sway majority of the time over the breakfast club , hot 97.
🙌🏽Sway! Man you always give THE best interviews. Somehow you not only allow the speakers to speak their truths but you listen and follow up with questions that we need to hear! Thank you once again for the honesty of it all! They are legends!
CONGRATULATIONS TO MIKE HE JUST GOT HIS GED, THE LITTLE GUY IS ALSO A GENIUS IN TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS, HE HAS A BRILLIANT MIND, REMEMBER ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL THING HE SAID IS BE A LISTENER, BELIEVE ME YOU WILL LEAN MUCH.
daskinder ?...why agree and say you KNEW they were coming here AFTER the Breakfast Club,... then in the same breath say you THINK they came here to Sway first? ..Its either one or the other. P
I love them NE for life! Mike is such a calm and wise soul. When I met him briefly at an amusement park in Agawam Massachusetts called Riverside (now six flags). He was just as calm then as he is now. He respects and acknowledges all his fans. He is a cool a%# dude. Thank you for this interview.
HELL YA, Mike! Yo, for someone that gave up school for his craft - really embraced it. his explanation of team and know your role and just ask questions is exactly what life is about. everything he did was at 100%. If that meant quiting school then whatever (positive) replacement you have in store for that better be at 100%. You a Model Biv!
I just love you guys, and Sway thanks for always keeping us updated and keeping your show straight interesting and motivating. Michael Bivins hit it dead on!
Thanks Bobby this really made me respect you as an individual, I understand now why you lol we’re as you were. Hands high and hat off, going through all so much you still standing tall. Your love 💕 for your family and most of all your children should be an instrument letting black men to be fathers at all times no matter what the situations are. Go guys looking forward to seeing you.
Just watching this in 2022 as they do the Culture Tour and feeling floored with emotions because these men are so LOVED AND THEY ARE PHENOMENAL ❤️❤️❤️❤️. I APPLAUD EACH AN EVERY ONE OF THEM AND PRAY THAT GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THEM AND KEEP THEM 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. LUV THEM ALL SO MUCH❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bobby brown looks like the oldest ..but actually hes the youngest. Ronnie devoe is the oldest and he actually looks like the youngest one ....so weird lol
I would love to see a BBD movie, a Ralph movie, A Mike movie, a Ricky movie, a Ronnie movie and absolutely a Johnny Gill movie. And I would like a Brooke Payne movie. They all have interesting stories.
I was always listening to New Edition, while all my friends we listening to New Kids On The Block. WBBD - Boot City, The Remix Album and Bobby's "Don't Be Cruel" were the VERY FIRST CDs I ever purchased. Still have them today!
What bad move?' Ralph and the rest of these fogeys are 50 years old. Ralph is probably sick and tired of these drama queens. Ralph is living his life, doing his radio show and an occasional small concept. Bobby Brown, Ronnie Devoe(who now has a peach on RHOA, and they say he is the biggest shit starter on the show), Rickey Bell and Mike Bivens are out here doing shows like their lives depended on it. They are old enough and should have made enough money to where they should be doing what Ralph is doing, taking it easy. They are no spring chickens. I love NE, but for the love of God, RBRM, get some other dimension to yourselves. Yall even dress like yall are still youngsters, yall are not. Get a damn clue, grow the "F" up
@@calhounsista6491 First off they are entertainers secondly there showing ralph that they are not relying on his ass anymore same thing for johnny they are performers thats what made them yes RBRM is old aint we all gonna be up there age aint nothing but a fucking number like Mike said niggas gotta eat there not gonna wait for ralph and johnny to get out that funk there in they gonna give the fans a show come on now and talking about they need to grow up have you not seen what they all went through its life its always gonna be a lot of curve ball happening to them that doesn't mean you should stop doing what you love so like i said while RBRM is on stage giving the fans a show Ralph is on the radio thats his choice but i know deep inside he regret it and Johnny he a cool guy i dont know whats going but its what ever so yeah and Ralph if he was smart he should of took that god damn sony deal he that sensitivity song didnt sell more than bobby and bbd and johnny he was at the bottom but that his choice all because he wanted to what bobby did behind Ronnie Ricky and Mike back that was a dumbass move he did no loyalty at all in that situation yeah he should continue his radio show while RBRM is on stage giving the fans a show.
Fast forward to 2022 all the guys are together on their New Edition Tour doing a phenomenal job bringing their great songs. New Edition together are Music Royalty 👑👑👑👑👑👑💕May God bless these guys with many more lucrative opportunities and bless their families too.
You can’t help but realized Mike has it on target, the truth was told by this man on this interview. Speaking from my experiences, to much slips by when you don’t listen. That’s my definition of a group, each person doing what they do best for the whole of the group.
I'm not gonna lie, other than Candy Girl, Poison, Can You Stand the Rain, and Bobby B, I never really knew who NE was until I watched the biopic. Now, I love their music, all their music! I just discovered HIT ME OFF and RUN by BBD and those are my jams! NE is the best R&B/Hip Hop group in history. Y'all got a whole lotta new fans from the two biopics, and I'll keep up with y'all for the rest of y'alls careers!
Love these guys , they’re awesome and living Icon. Listening to Mike speaking let’s me know that these men are the truth in the industry, they know their ways around this industry, only wish that they would leave out the profanity, lol when I listen to interviews like to be able to play it for the children at church without all the beeping. Rickey is the only one who speaks without profanity, such a intelligent guy my favorite NE. and a true believer in God. Bobby has moved into lol 😆 second Favorite. I really have great respect for these 4 guys.
Love the New Edition guys. Love all 6 of them. Two brothers are missing from these much loved family of brothers. Please we your fans beg you lot sort out your issues and support each other. Regardless of all the various versions of this group we your fans love you all as solo artist, mini groups and main group. You must all support one another...all six of 6 you should sit in a room without wives/ partners and lawyers and resolve your problems. Do not let foolishness get in the way of this group greatness..
