Ralph Tresvant reveals when Bobby Brown left it was kinda scary 

Ikr. Ralph rarely does interviews nowadays....let's go ❤

Hope you like it!

​@@ComicPierre Is there a whole interview please 😊

@@ComicPierre I did but that's why I'm asking for the whole interview ? Again is there going to be a whole interview vide🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️👍🏾👍🏾😀

I got to meet him in person one day so I can introduce myself

Most definitely

Facts

@@oholm09 that's what's up I know he was cool like the other side of the pillow💯😎

Truth Indeed

And what did that get him? It's a dog eat dog world. People need to stop waiting for things to fall in their lap and go out and get it!

The group broke up Bobby was the biggest star in the world solo, Johnny album did good numbers and bbd changed the game with poisons and went platinum, Ralph album flopped sounds like he needed NE more then anybody

I can see that you are a intelligent person this is facts

💯

Stop it he's the lead Singer he's supposed to carry the weight and besides I like BBD better because they were different and better.

@@davidwinstead9502 again this was MY observation as a life long NE concert goer since Family Fun Day in Detroit 84'. Ralph still does the choreography like it was done originally. The other guys outside of Ronnie can't keep up. That's what I'm saying again based off what I've witness that night and the many other times I've seen NE, BBD, Ralph, Bobby, Johnny, LSG, Heads of State perform. And based off that he was carrying them. Have a great holiday weekend ✌🏾

Bobby, Johnny and BBD all sold way more records. It aint even close. Ralph solo has only 3 hits songs. Maybe 2.

He's a man with sensitivity.

Yes he is

Yeah I felt he also was tryna clown him for the song Sensitivity, which is a classic. Come on Pierre.

I felt the same he was being really shady trying to get a negative reaction and I'm so happy he didn't get it he is a lame buster for that😂😂😂

Ralph is a REAL One!! True Friend/Brother to B.B.!!

Came here for this comment. It was too obvious, but Pierre didn't get what he was looking for. Respect to Mr. Tresvant for showing what brotherhood is... even when there are storms, we hold each other down. ❤

Accurate read.👍🏾

I like his song

That would be amazing ❤

Truth

😮😮😮🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Yeesssss!

Jackson 5 then New Edition

Jackson 5 is still of the greatest of all time. They had a lot of hits during the Motown era before they left the label to go to CBS Records. Nobody can top the Jackson 5.

They're NOT a band, they're a GROUP! You see any instruments? Bass, drums, guitars, horns, keys, percussion etc. I know their voices are technically "instruments", but it's different than an instrument you PLAY in a band. I've played instruments my entire life and believe me when I tell you this.

@@blakebrown84 I agree, but Tito and Jermaine played instruments at that made them a band. 6 guys singing is NOT a band, they're a GROUP!

Tito and Jermaine played guitars and made the group for what it is today. When he left Motown, they were forced to change their name from the Jackson 5 to The Jacksons. All of the brothers except Jermaine had to leave Berry Gordy behind and start writing and producing their own music. Michael is the only lead singer in the group. Randy Jackson became the new member of the group after Jermaine decided to leave and stay at Motown. Jermaine was married to the boss’s daughter at that time. Jermaine returned to the group 7 years later and rejoined them. Afterwards, Michael and Marlon decided to leave the group at the end of the Victory Tour. In the early 90s, they decided to call it quits because they wanted to live normal lives and raise their families. Today, all of the members except Michael and Randy decided to perform together once again as The Jacksons in 2012 and they ain’t missed a step and still going strong. Michael died in 2009 and they all know how much they miss him and won’t be the same without him.

Because it was about timing. Bobby left 1st and was able to get his break 1st both with king of stage "86" and a 4 year tour with don't be cruel'88' had Bobby dropped the mystical magic album in 90-91 things would've been differently and he would been a bigger star. johnny also used time to his advantage during the recordings of the heart break album he used that time to record his solo self titled album"90" with baby face, la reid and other producers that's why you barley hear him on the heart break album. BBD had to survive because Ralph was going to leave anyways so they got in the studio then dropped poision "90" and they should've dropped hootie mack in "91/92" they would've had a longer run Ralph recorded his original album living in a dream around 87 had that dropped when it was supposed Ralph would've been launched into superstardom however after all his group members dropped their projects he waited the longest to drop his album. Also his second album its going down"93" was decent considering he produced most of it by himself i give him props love at 1st sight it one of my favorite tracks imo mca dropped the ball with all of these artists Ralph should've left with johnny to go with mowtown. Bobby and BBD should've dropped their albums sooner .

@@jhonram2496i respectfully disagree. I started out as a bass player on tour with Troop in 1990 3 months after I turned 18. What you’re saying about Ralph we can’t say what “would” have happened.. what we do know is his music wouldn’t have been hitting based off what he was trying to convey. The early 90’s was about those hard beats, be it fast or slow. The crooner style of man was done with. Ralph fell in the cracks because his content was between the 80’s crooners of Freddie Jackson, Peabody Bryson l, etc, but his voice was still bubblegum sounding that wouldn’t appeal to the older ladies. Johnny got away with it because his voice was for the grown, but they gave him a “hip” sound. This is why Johnny has sustained. His voice appeals to older ladies, like the age of my mama, but he carried our age along with him because we grew up with him (the 50 year olds). It’s the same with Bobby and BBD. They latched on to the early 90’s street sound. It worked for a hot minute, but that’s all they could do. That played out, and they had no where else to go because they couldn’t do anything else. Bobby wasn’t the greatest singer. He was more performer than singer, but he marketed himself as a bad boy, and couldn’t do anything else with it. So, switching his content wasn’t going to happen. BBD couldn’t sing at all. They were a fad. So we know they weren’t going to sustain at all. Ralph could have had a chance to sustain like Johnny IF he jumped on the Neo soul content that was coming out. Ralph should have come right here to Philly in the kid 90’s, chopped it up with all of us at The Five Spot, and got down. It’s truly why fee R&B solo artists didn succeed more. The early 90’s was about image over anything.

@@Keepdapocket I get what you're saying to a certain extent but we're both kinda agreeing to the same point . Ralph did have k-ci write some of the songs but yes to your point it was still missing that hard beat "rated R" was kinda meh as a single . But again that why I said had he should've released his solo album earlier he would've caught on the wave and have higher sales. This man literally had tony tonie tone write /produce a song"yo baby yo baby yo" and had a fresh mint condition playing for him live on arsenal hall with "money cant buy you love ". But do you have any other social media I'd like to check out your work

​@@KeepdapocketMy thoughts about Ralph were in line with you about the voice. I loved him as a young teen but as he got older his voice did not match what I like to hear as a woman. I leaned more toward BBD. Of course Ralph earlier voice is quite nostalgic though. ❤🥰

@@jhonram2496 I wish man. That’s the thing with being “old” haha no cell phones in my day. I was heavily into the Neo soul thing. Those were my prime years, and being from Philly, that’s just how it was. I know I have some VHS tapes in my parents basement somewhere for sure haha. I kind of “retired” from performing so much in the early/mid 2000’s after getting married. Basically just play locally at Zanzibar Blue and WarmDaddy’s. Jam out, of course. I still run into Jaz ( Jazzy Jeff) from time to time. Bilal will call up when he has a show from time to time if he can’t find another bass player. Which is cool. And, no, I was not “big time” in my hey day. I would say the biggest tour I did was Jill Scott across the country. Other than that, it would mainly be those three city promotional tours for new albums or whatever, or a few shows here and there. But, yeah, we agree totally. Ralph definitely should have dropped his FIRST! Ralph had stage presence as well. Just because he wasn’t buckwild, I feel he would have given a good show on the solo tip. What I never understood is friend is friends, and business is business. For the life of me, i never understood why they kept giving Bobby a chance haha like when they got back together with six of them. They knew Bobby would be late and not show up and all that. It couldn’t have been me at all. Sure, we came out the sandbox together, but you know how you are and I know how you are. If you ain’t with the group thing im cool with that, but you ain’t messing up my money homie. We’ll just hang out afterwards haha

“Ralph is an incredible Leader” & he along with his band mates are all still relevant because they all know, there is no New Edition without their Lead vocalist, Mr. Ralph Tresvant.

Just like Jheryl Busby said, "I don't NEED, nor am I interested in a N. E. W.O. Ralph Tresvant. "

Na real talk. Ralph was the one. He ain't need nobody. He wanted to be with his brothers. Def a stand up guy.

​@gifi11 . I love Ralph too. However, real talk, Ralph as a solo artist did not do as well as Bobby, BBD, or Johnny Gill. Ralph needed the group and well as the group needed him. Ralph has a great work ethic always showed up on time and was ready to work.

@jenisejackson5408 once they launched, I 100% agree no argument. Bobby Brown was the king lol rs tho. So I get that. But would any of them ever even been seen if it wasn't for Ralph. They wanted Ralph solo from the jump. And I would say Ralph carried them until the rest of the group matured into their own.

@@gifi11 . Yes, I agree Ralph held it down as a true leader. However, the producers wanting Ralph as a solo artist from the get go, again would not have made a difference. He was not a very good solo act. It is what it is. Perhaps it was the songs that were chosen. I remember Ralph's album and it was lackluster. Some artist are better in a group. That is totally fine.

@jenisejackson5408 I'm still talking about as a kid. Ralph didn't go solo until his adult years. Prior to that, they wanted Ralph to sign solo. NE was already together at that point. Ralph could of said, my bad yall they only want me I'm out lol and who knows if we would know the rest of NE is all I'm saying. He was the child star at the time.

Well said

And Ralph does the same... especially in his song Rated R

❤❤

Facts!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

not nice to hear.

Not really Ronnie was the last one added to New Edition as a group of 5. He has his own style but wasn't the best vocalist just like Michael Bivins. This is why they started BBD with Rickey being the lead vocalist. It worked out for everyone who all brought something different to the table.

@@nechemyahyasharal3678 Nice facts. Thanks

He's also very loyal because he could've went solo so many times

@@carolmoore697 He did.

​@@YourRealDaddy100Eventhough He Recorded Solo Songs Of Himself He Waited Till Every Other Member To Release Their Solo Projects First. One Love Fam...

😂cooler than a Fan, I like that comment,👏👏👏 Respect 😂

@@jonjonharreld7602 That's is true

I’m honored that he sat down with me. Because he don’t really sit down solo

@@ComicPierre wow, now that's a big deal then! Makes me even more excited for what's to come! Hey, you keep doing what you're doing with your interviews! Bringing voices to the people that don't always get the chance to get heard :)

We need to get a parody of the “Single Black Female” movie called “Single Black Male” starring them two 👍🏾

You’re right!😮

What? No

IKR! That Biv interview/conversation was so good!

Love Ralph, but Johnny is the most talented vocalist…

@@genohall2235 That's why I said top to bottom, because I was including the dancing and the look/persona. Ralph is either best or second best in every category.

@@UhurasDurag That’s why I made sure to add vocalist. I wasn’t disagreeing just commenting…🙏🏾💯🙋🏾‍♂️

@@genohall2235 Understood. It's nice to be able to speak rationally with someone in this comment section haha.

@@UhurasDurag I agree, usually I’ll find a comment that kinda speaks to me and add my two cents, whether it’s something I agree or disagree with. If it’s well articulated I comment. In my view people can agree or disagree without being disagreeable. 🙏🏾💯🍺

Stop the 🧢 Thriller sold 70 million albums, Don't be Cruel sold 8 million

I agree Don't be cruel album is a classic... It's not always in terms of money that indicates what's the best album... Me personally I'm 51 years old I grew up in a new edition era and I would rather listen to the Don't be cruel album then the thriller album

@@dantemackey7471I gotta agree with you 1000%! I’m with you, yes Thriller sold way way way more albums, but me personally, I could take or leave it. Now in terms or Don’t Be Cruel, that album hit a different kind of way. For that time period DBC didn’t even really fit in. It was some we had never heard. To this day all I need is DBC’s intro beat and I stop what I’m doing. Kinda the same way that Poison intro beat hits! NE4LYFE homie!💯💪🏿

@@styner3it’s not about sales idiot. He means impact. Longevity. It’s easily a top 10 r&b album of all time.

Imagine if "on our own" was on that album!!!!!!! He would have went to a whole mother stratosphere!!!!!!!!

I disagree Ralph didn't carry them not hating but every body solo album dis better than ralph

true...

You really do love your Boo. Glad Ralph enjoyed himself and wants to do another with me. 😂.

I agree. He was actually a distractionm

I say the same thing all the time.💯

FACTS

THANK YOU!!!!!

Ralph voice but if it wasn't for bobby there wouldn't be no New edition ❤💯

But johnny voice though I remember back then when johnny was Ralph replacement for real because he became to arrogant as they would say back then

Girl me too!!!

Same here!

Most of the times it's not the artists. It's the label and the managers that cause division

I'm glad that is the way it is with them. They are a great group of guys@@tj1338

Have you not heard of David ruffin or Marvin junior of the dells go listen to them

@@sans23611 all of them. But when you look at longevity, consistency, performance, dedication to his craft, and his level of professionalism Ralph is top tier. Now if you’re talking vocals I’ll go with Ruff all day long. I’m looking at complete body of work.

Ok now slow down. Internet hyperbole is a helluva drug.

Oh Yes Truth Indeed

Don’t fall for that, that’s not the real Ralph. It’s a fake

@a-m3248 Thank you hun, I knew as soon as I read what's app.

EXCEPT for Johnny...

So you took 12 minutes out of a 1.5hr conversation to make that point? Glad Ralph felt Nothing like that. Stop crying and watch the full episode

I've wondered about that myself. Have seen interviews where they're asking about other more "popular" people in that interviewee's life.

So you’re asking me to follow YOUR rule my nigga? Man please put a podcast together to show me how you’d do it. You the type that’ll be mad that LeBron didn’t shoot the last shot in a game, while you on your couch 😂. Man I ain’t changing shit this my 72th interview and you watching. We good bro. So you critiqued me, I critiqued you. All feelings off the table

Yea I was thinking the same thing in regards to a few things he said to Ralph in this clip. Like, how you knock his song Sensitivity like that? #ShoutOutToRalphT

IKR lol. He could have left it at what he said about Bob, because he was right it is different when Bob not there. Saw them earlier this year in Houston Bob wasn't there some folks was big mad. Everyone has they favorite so I get it. However Ron is my fav so I was happy he was there and he would've been missed!! NE4Life!

​@@ComicPierre Yeah I'm watching, so you're welcome nigga Lol I never said you was horrible or that your show is trash. I fuck with you and I love your show (Top 5 for me). There's nothing wrong with good hearted critiquing, y'all do it on Comedy Hype every day🤣 You gon see way worse comments than mine bro. Its all love, and I'm gon continue to support your funny ass!👍

I agree...the interview was good, but that part irked the hell out of me. Like others said, everyone has his/her favorite, so I'm sure that if either member was missing, it would be disappointing for someone. Personally, if Ralph ain't there, I wouldn't even bother going.
