I’m gon need Mike on Drink Champs immediately

Mike Biv is a REAL legend! Influenced an entire era of music. Definitely deserves his flowers

This man is the definition of cool, flavor, style, fly, swag, smart, intelligent and the culture.

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!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

🎵🎶 Michael Bivins here and I'm running the show ...BELL BIV DEVOE🎵🎶

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.

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

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!!!!

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

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

He’s a member of TWO OUTSTANDING AND LEGENDARY GROUPS

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

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

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.

Bivins always been That Guy…. Since the 80’s 🔥❤️🔥❤️🙌🏾

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.

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

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

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!

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.❤

This is like a college capstone course on the music business. This dude is far beyond valuable.

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

Mike Bivins was my favorite member in New Edition he just exuded swag🔥🔥🔥

People don’t have a clue how powerful his testimony is.

Had the pleasure of meeting Bell Biv DeVoe back in da day, here in Detroit…Hey Mike🤩God bless🙏🏾

That's my nigga man. I was raised on that NE and that BBD. Mike is the big bro never had.

Supremely slept on! Mike Bivens we salute you!🫡

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.

New edition got a concert imma go everytime !!! They have an amazing show

I ADORE MICHEAL BIVENS! HE IS A BRILLIANT AND VERY TALENTED ARTIST! ❤😊

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

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 💐

People not returning Michael Bivins call is WILD!

Mike Bevins has been holdin strong FOR DECADES!!!!!❤

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

I need a New Edition album now!!!!

i’m 30 and i’ve always said mike biv should RUN the whole black music industry

Biv is a straight “G”! Love his authenticity & honesty.

Biv, you need a podcast! I could listen to your storytelling all day long.

Mike def deserves his flowers ❤❤

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

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!

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!

Michael Bivins was always a smooth cat. Natural and never forced.

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. 🥰🥰🥰

Johnny Gill & Ralph' Tresvant BOUGHT the name "NEW EDITION"

They were all my favorite singers

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!!!

You can tell they are 100% ❤connected!!!

Mike has always been my favorite

Mike/NE is so loved out here especially here in Boston. ❤

I told Michael Bivins to do this interview and the rest is history. -- TK Kirkland

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.

New Edition was my first concert when I was 10. Still rock with them hard. Boston stand up!

Yo gotti you aren't slick....you were here a few days ago

Big didn’t wait for anyone to give him his flowers, he made a garden and planted his own flowers 💐.N.E 4 Life

Michael Biv is a creative genius! He is the best to me because he has stayed humble all theses years, Despite helping so many other not only get into the game but succeed! Love his story! Blessings!

glad the spot light is on this brother...his done so much

Always my fav! Michael Bivins here & he's running the show

Goodmorning everyone! Just got off work and enjoying this interview.. Have a great day,God bless ❤❤

All the 40 year olds and up say yoooooo lol….#memories

I grew up on NE…who knew all this about Michael Bivins. Loved his energy, can’t wait to see the documentary.

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

Michael Bivins - what he said about not coming in "broke" so he had no reason to jerk ppl out of their money. and doing biz fair - MUCH RESPECT. Too much greed out there, no need to snatch from someones plate when you have a full plate of yr own.

He might be the biggest legend in hip hop history

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.

He also had an office at 413 South Broad st in Philly. I met his aunt Dianne his sister Tanya and his nephew Fruit Punch.

Another hit. When you know you know. This interview is another cultural win for us. Thanks TBC!

Beautiful you are correct everyone don’t have a sad story and we need more Michael Bivens❤

I used to go the celebrity basketball games as a teenager lol...we were always like boy he can ball...

This is the interview & documentary that I always knew we needed ❤

Just love love this s interview ❣️❣️❣️. The hunger the drive and realness. I live in New England but I'm from Philadelphia so Philly stand up. But thank you for opening that avenue and grace you shared among your artists and the honesty. In that time people was token advantage, but I love and respect you and thank you for your contribution to new edition cause I love y'all music. Much respect 🌹🌹🌹you deserve your flowers.

He looks good for being nearly 60 years old.

I didn’t realize how much Mike sounds like Mase.

“Money that ain’t my story!” This is a powerful interview.

I agree with Envy, with Boys to Men. Michael Bivins is a genius 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

Meet him in Philly at the club real nice guy

Hes always been my NE crush love his accent!! He could talk to me all day!! 😍

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 💎🏅

Humble Legend. We don’t hear any bad news. Let the ones that know, know.

I'm coming up on 50 years old from Memphis. I grew up with NE and BVD. Caught the show in Vegas a couple months ago. Brought back so many memories hearing and seeing the show. Worth every dime spent. I appreciate it!

He’s a true Leo-Leader

I always liked Mike.. can't wait to support the project!👊🏿
