--------
In this clip, Ricky Bell detailed the formation of Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD) and how they became a group per the suggestion of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Ricky Bell also revealed that BBD got production done by the Bomb Squad, who was Public Enemy's production arm and who produced Ice Cube's first solo album. Ricky and Vlad went on to discuss how much BBD changed the game with their melding of hip-hop and R&B.
When will i see you smile again is one of the greatest R&B songs of all time.
Hell yes !!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agreed.
My favorite song by them
Real talk!
I don't care how many times I hear the origins of NE, BBD, Bobby, Johnny, Ralph and everything in between. I just love these kind of conversations.
Yes I love these conversations too! I can sit and listen to them talk all day!
The Haves and the Have Nots Review same
The Haves and MB, in a cz Have Nots Review e
Its awesome to hear the back stories! Living history.
Me too
BBD is still the most mysterious and interesting branch of NE. Some people forget they were HUGE. They were enormous trendsetters as well.
I wanted a Starter jacket so bad in elementary school! I would bend the brim of my hat all crazy like Ron in the Dope video lol.
I started DJ'ing in 1986 and in a record pool here in Los Angeles. Look, the rumbling was there. The video (Poison) had dropped on BET and that was all she wrote. Nobody had heard anything like that before, rough rap beats, 808, , melodies and rap lyrics (think Cool it Now). Ron Devoe and Michael Bivins were already HUGE rap fans and like hanging out with Philly and New York rappers. That sh*t still bangs today, especially the remixes by Wolf and Epic and Marley Marl.
I’m hearing that they are supposed to be writing a book of their adventures as BBD. You never heard of any trouble with them but they were wild as hell. In a recent interview Rickey Smiley asked them who in the group “got them hands.” They said usually Ron is the peacemaker but he “got hands” 😂 I was like whaaa?! 😂
I love how his wife is silently encouraging him, that means a heck of a lot! #Lordpleaseletmywifebe affectionate!
Amennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...it's says alot...honor loyalty and pure love!!!
man shes dope frfr
She’s so sweet.
💯
He’s a lucky guy. She’s beautiful too.
"Poison" is such a groundbreaking track its crazy. First it basicly created the 90s New Jack Swing style and made it more street and edgy. In the 80s New Jack Swing was more rnb and slightly pop until BBD. They took the genre from Suits to Hip Hop street clothes. Another thing is Spyderman and Freeze actually went unknown to producing another huge song "I wanna Sex you up" Color Me badd the following year. The song also has so many quotes and memorable lines and melodies.
"Hip hop smoothed out on a R&B tip!"
It didn't create the new jack swing. That was already in effect by the late 80s. New Edition had New Jack Swing songs on N.E. Heartbreak. Teddy Riley created it and it showed on Guy's first album.
@@checkmateforever "With a pop feel appeal to it
Jerome Re-read his comment
Till this day that song still gets people moving on the dance floor.
I remember when they premiered "poison" on Donnie Simpson's show. The next day I told everyone at my middle school that I heard the best song ever and no one believed me until they heard it a week later.
Love that group... back then music was life....
Agreed
I love how she's there for support. You can tell when he gets uncomfortable about a question at the beginning he grabs her for support and she holds his hand affectionately.
Yes bc at first I was confused with why she was there. But the body language tells the story😊
Ricky’s voice & talent is so underrated & slept on. He ATE DOWN in BBD. He did what needed to be done on When Will I See You Smile Again. One of my favorite male vocalists. 🎤
Poison Was BANANA'S Absolutely the beat Song Ever
Poison is still the jam!!!! a timeless classic!!!
I love Rickey Bell aka Slick! He was NE best kept secret❤️
We need a GUY interview vlad.
He interviewed Aaron Hall about 3 years ago........ It's best left at that.
Or just Teddy Riley
Nope! Just Teddy Riley interview.
Jamal Adem facts but arron hall dont rock with them no more i think
Aaron hall talks like a cracked out pimp ... I’ll pass on him..
Wife is obviously there because he wanted her to be. She's poised, respectful and anchors his platform to tell his truth. He holds her hand and keeps her in arms reach to reassure her and to be reassured by her. People take medication and seek professional help for not having someone to love or to love them, but this group of folks are complaining that is support his upfront and center. Sheesh. What makes folks happy?!
That's awesome she stuck by him throughout Ricky's rough part of his life during their marriage...she's truly one in a million ☺☺
Amen. It's a good look.
Thank you for talking some sense, sis.
He’s been doing interviews and in the public eye since he was 12, has done interviews on every major network, but he needs comfort and support to tell stories about New Edition..lol! Knock it off
boy, they really love them light skinned, don't they?
This will sound corny..but I love how the girl looks at him. Like....really lovingly. Is it just me who noticed this
💯
Yea! That's a nice wife right there.
Why cause the way she looks? Even though she introduced him to drugs 👀 ...uhm looks aren’t everything!
Yeah... That's wassup
Not corny..every guy would love to get a girl to look at you so lovingly..whether they admit it or not lol
I'm a lifelong fan that grew up listening to New Edition, BBD and Bobby Brown. My 7 year old child also loves them.
nicole watson here’s a cookie 🍪
Are u a fine ass white girl from California?
Ricky Bell is definitely a class act, Rick has found his soulmate, and it is obvious.
I remember when Poison dropped....MAAAAAANNNN!!!! That record exploded on he scene!!!
Bell can sing his ass off!Especially on When will I see you smile again part 2
He has the best voice
23 years ago ago, I wonder to they even remember, I had a blast in Chicago...... Now as a nurse, the stages of life is a beautiful thing, glad to see them out again.
Ricky does killer interviews dead ass on.
Like frfr!!
I still have pictures of them from when they were skinny, pimply teens 🤣 Mister Telephone Man, landlines, care free curls... 80s baby
You old as fuck
4:58 Now I know why Bobby took the rap portion off the "Every Little Step" Don't Be Cruel album version of the song
Couch Tomato i hate the album version maybe it’s me but it feels real empty. The video version feels bigger.
Poison is the best new jack swing song ever. Possibly the best R&B song ever.
I love the way she looks at him, true love
1. LOVE Ricky, he is so WELL SPOKEN and ARTICULATE!
Great interviews with Ricky. Great piece of history. Thanks!
I Play That "Poison" Album to DEATH! The ENTIRE Album Is a Banger From Start to Finish. Ricky Is INCREDIBLY Underrated As a Singer And BBD Always Been My Inspiration When It Comes to Style. They Were UNPARALLELED. Overalls With The Airbrushed Designs And Colors, They Wore One Sneaker On One Foot And Another Sneaker On The Other, Baseball Caps, The Whole Thing. Besides "Poison", "She's Dope! (EPOD Mix)" Is My FAVORITE. Marley Marl Went IN On That One. Much Respect to BBD. Much Respect to NE. Been a Young Fan Since 2008.
#NE4LIFE #YOSLICKBLOW
Poison was a game changer, man when that beat dropped in the club you knew you’d be dancing your ass off for the next 8 minutes. Amazing record. Kool G Rap’s sample is just incredible here.
For everyone saying that his wife doesn’t serve a purpose, I think you guys should wait until the future parts come on when the interview gets more personal and he starts talking about how they met and his addiction. I think she’ll have more of speaking role then
Kaedel Mathieu this is a long as build up then bruh-- and then why can’t she join in then? It’s just distracting
Freddy Sharky Wym. They are going in chronological order lmao. The next video will most likely be about his addiction or the Home Again album
Yukiko Kasumi Got it; but just as I said, why couldn’t she join in then during that part of the interview? What a beautiful and more efficient transition/segue to have her join in right as they get to that part of his bio and not have her awkwardly sitting there making subtle faces at the stories shared, why not make her presence more impactful 🤷🏾♂️ Otherwise Rick is a big boy, don’t need no handholding
lmao since you know the future can I get them powerball numbers too lol
He can tell his own addiction story like everyone else does ....im ignoring her just like vlad is
The 80s is my favorite decade for music. Thanks, Ricky/New Edition, for the gr8 memories!
@J Crash
The 90s still had some gr8 classics. Just not quite like the 80s, in my opinion.
She’s there for support probably why y’all trippin
she keeps sighing like she's bored or just over it. she needs to be taught some etiquette
Shits weird wtf you talking about she can support from the sidelines
BBD made me go get my first pair of airbrushed jeans
Sheet they made the world get them🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the way Ricky speaks
I think I'm going to exhaust my entire battery life watching all these Ricky Bell - New Edition interviews.
Forever New Edition! Forever BBD!
BBD should be considered one of the most influential groups ever. Low key New Edition are goats.
I respect him and i love his wife..
Man. You don't even know his wife. Talking about you love her😂
People like you are fucking weird
I'm a black male. I loved New Edition as a high schooler. Vlad is more like a white guy. Whites love rap....and buy the majority of rap music. BBD forming was the best thing to happen to NE. It brought to the forefront, how great of a singer Ricky Bell is.
KMEL was definitely around in 1990. And it was definitely playing Poison back then.
Have and will be an NE fan for life. Ricky, so glad you’re doing well. “One More Day” was one of my favorite songs on NE’s Home Again Album
I Do Need You and Smile Again🙌🏾 Classic love songs!🥹
Dope he got his wife chillin with him not cuttin nobody 0ff
One of my favorite songs on the whole album is “I Do Need You” 🙌🏾 ❤❤
My cousin “Dr Freeze” worked on the Poison beat... My mom still has the original pre-master demo on cassette...💯
Dr Freeze , is one of the illest producers ever man, does he have any new projects out? Would like to hear what his beats sound like today
mrjasonshay He definitely helped shape that “new jack swing” style in the 90’s!!... and he’s always doing things behind the scenes from producing his own music to other artist..he also had his own streaming station where he played live mixes... you can follow him on FB search “Elliot Straite”...
Maaaan, upload the pre master. Beg your mother. By the way, why doesn't Dr. freeze your cousin do any interviews?
I love his wife. She just seems so devoted
Mr. Ellerbe So much that she followed him to work🤔
I see what you did there mister
@@freddysharky9832 😂😂😂😂exactly she annoying me
It looks like he wants her there. She looks so proud of him too.
Nice interview with music singer Ricky Bell of New Edition. I'm happy Ricky, Michael Bivins, Ronnie Devoe formed Bell Biv Devoe. I love Poison and Hootie Mack albums. I like Ricky Bell.
KMEL shout out. I can dig it!
How does Vlad interview ppl not knowing hardly anything about. Dude mixing up NE albums. Not knowing simple NE history. Damn.
"I thought it was me" was the best song on the album tho
Ricky bell keeps you tuned in and must hear interviews,he gotta have his bet movie and book
We need a bell biv devoe movie
do you kow how many parts the New Edition movie could have been? That would have been epic! You have New Edition. Bobby Brown, Ralph, Johnny Gill, Bell Biv DeVoe, then New Edition AGAIN with all of them. . .They should have rode that until the wheels fell off.
I saw the premiere of that video on Bet I went home for lunch from school with a female friend I smashed then we watched the video lol went back to school and told everyone about the video
😭🤣💀💯
"Poison❤❤❤" is MY JAM❤❤❤!
Anything is possible and
Anything can be
You can feel the passion
You never ever dreamed of i see it in your eyes your giving me the sign and i knew it was on i knew it was on it was something
Product of the Environment video!!! Shout out to Third Bass!!!!
People making comments about why is his wife there they have a album together I'm sure well hear about it in another part of the interview
Poison is played at every HBCUs!
Poison was a badass album!!
I've gotta agree with Vlad on this one. I liked New Edition, but I was never a fan. BBD hit the scene when I was 13 and I became a huge fan. BBD seemed like it was definitely for the fellas. I couldn't recite more than a verse from any New Edition song, but I damn near knew the entire BBD album by heart.
I loved BBD!!
yo poison got my dad listening to rap music lol thank you so many years ago he not here anymore many memories tho
Ricky does the best interviews about NE.
Forming bbd was the best shit that they couldve ever done. Cause if they waited around for ralph and bobby to come back, they wouldve been forgotten about. I love bbd.
Yup. I remember watching the video premiere of Poison and going to buy the cassette single the next day...lol 6th grade memories.
Congratulations Ricky Bell on your career and having a beautiful mate. Props Brother!
BBD came through and changed the game!!!!!!!! Beasted the game!!!
Smile Again 😍😍
im happy for there sobriety n there relationship still being in tact
You have a fan for life!
Wow just wow . So much history behind making of the song making my 11 year old ass go crazy changed my life.
Why this look like mal from the Joe Budden podcast
Damn I forgot how many hits were on that album. Poison. Do me. Dope. Smile. I thought it was me.
I guess he’s talking about pop stations because radio I grew up on in the 80’s played r&b with raps in them all the time.
Bell biv devoe was dope as fuck. I rocked with that shit back in the day
I would love to hear the bbd demo songs. Damn.
KMEL and WILD 107 were both around, might have been KSOL still but the BAY was already rockin rap and rnb on the stations.
Shout out to Timmy galling and wokie stewart for producing when I see you smile again and I do need you but weak of the needs I want hear that song right now
Aww... Ricky got his own Yoko Ono...
It's nice to see a respectful poise black man speak
Dude like 50 ,he doing something right
G Rap looks like the last thing a few ppl saw 💀
Lmao what
He was very abusive to Karrine Stephans
Real shit
She is 😍😍😍...heavenly.....
You can tell his wife is a fan of his. I love it.
The best rnd group eva
NE, BBD, bobby brown, johnny gill nd ralph tresvant 🔥🔥🔥
I need the full video VLADTV
I was 16 and this was one of like 4 cassettes I owned and loved back in 1990-91....PE's Fear of a Black Planet, Pac's Strictly for my n*ggaz, I think Ice-T's Iceberg lol, and BBD's Poison. Wasn't supposed to be playing the first 3 in the house because of moms and with the lyrics, but she loved her some BBD lol.
Poison is the greatest R&B song of all time. Ricky's wife being there is distracting because she's eye candy haha He held her hand/forearm at one point, but then let go completely seconds later....like what are y'all thinking?
They changed R&B to what it is now.
I remember when they all split and then Ralph Tresvant was supposed to be the one to break out. He performed his new song on a tv show and I remember me and friends going, is that it? Then the other members came out with theirs and just blew him away.
interview Mr.380 from Houston
They were all mamas boys thats why they all have amazing wifes..💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 #mumof3#goalsasf ❤❤❤❤❤
Never trust a big butt and a smile 🍑
Jessica Lund a lot of people don’t know that was a KRS-one lyric a couple years before Poison came out.
JCR1992...myself included
@@jessicalund5190....so can we trust you?
Truck Turner nah
It was true then as it is now ..lol
We need a dj quik interview asap
What was mc brains album about?
Hip hop on the r&b tip with a pop feel appeal to it!
I know I said this before. Why is SHE THERE?!
I love his set of interviews but why is his wife there lol
I was wondering the same thing, but strangely, it works. I guess she's comforting to him & eye candy for the viewer
.
THEY HAVE AN ALBUM OUT NOW DO RESEARCH BEFORE TALKING
Trump has shown that research before pressing send is not needed. LMAO
What does that have to new edition?
@@ProjectDystopiaMan, you ain't never lied!
How she is looking at him use to irritate me when my girl looked at me like that. Especially when I'm driving 😂. I'm thinking in my head "Woman what are you looking at" lol.
Interview Aaliyahs family (mom & Brother)!!! That'd be interesting to learn about her personally and her music catalogue
