- Electronic Press Kit Interview with Bobby Brown was distributed to music retailers and journalists in support of his 1992 CD, BOBBY.
Robert Barisford Brown (born February 5, 1969) is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, dancer and actor. Brown, alongside frequent collaborator Teddy Riley, is noted as a pioneer of new jack swing; a fusion of hip hop and R&B. Brown started his career in the R&B and pop group New Edition, from its inception in 1981[2] until his exit from the group in December 1985.
Starting a solo career, Brown enjoyed commercial and critical success with his second album Don't Be Cruel (1988) which spawned five Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles including the number one hit "My Prerogative", and the Grammy Award-winning "Every Little Step". In 1989, Brown contributed two songs to the soundtrack of Ghostbusters II. In 1992, Brown married singer Whitney Houston, with whom he had a daughter named Bobbi Kristina Brown. The couple's drug abuse and domestic disputes made them tabloid fodder.
Brown's next album Bobby (1992) spawned several hit singles including "Humpin' Around", "Get Away," and "Good Enough." However, sales of Bobby did not match its predecessor. Some surmise that this may have been due to Brown's recent marriage to Houston, and his decision to take a break from the business for reasons involving his marriage and impending new-fatherhood. - Wikipedia

Out of all the New Editions members Bobby is and will always be my favorite member, I like the way he found himself and transferred into a real man.
I think you’re right because out of all solo albums that came from the members of N.E., I listen to Bobby Brown the most...even more than Ralph Tresvant.

Bobby definitely had the most potential out of all of them! Ralph had potential but when he went solo he came off as a pretty boy with no personality.
@@ir489 That's Bezos Ralph was trying a little to hard to be like Michael Jackson, he did sound like him, Michael even sung some background and wrote for him but he should have been trying to find his own sound.
I met Bobby Brown at the Kentucky Derby last year! Got video of him and my youngest daughter who was 8. He asked if he could take a pic with US! 🙌🏽 A moment I will never forget
I was doing security at a club called the hole in the wall in Louisville Kentucky several years ago and him and his crew came in he is definitely a down to earth brother.

Oh yeah also don’t forget, the “Bobby era” is slept on but don’t forget in 93 not only did that album went 2x platinum but, he hosted the AMA’s, performed at the same award show, and beat Michael jackson in the last award given out that night, how much people can say they won an award over Mj, not many, from then bobby should’ve continue and stayed focus but just don’t think he had the proper guidance

I can see what Whitney saw in him sometimes..
It was the 🍆💯😂😂😂
Thanks love Yu2?
He wasn’t so bad when he was younger and successful.
@@aeshaalberts7560 Hey miss, You pretty ❤️☺️
@@aeshaalberts7560 yes he was. There were a few states that had banned him.
Give my boy his flowers while he's alive he deserve them💐💐. G.O.A.T 🐐
“Bobby” was just as good as “Don’t Be Cruel quality wise, but I think it was overshadowed by his marriage/wife’s attention. Plus, you could see that his lifestyle was catching up to him, gaining weight, increasing drug use, etc. too.
He wasn’t dancing as hard either...The electric stage performances were what people expected from him and it wasn’t happening. Plus he took wayyyyyy too long to come back out. He should have been back at it in 90. Still the man regardless
@@DwayneChess I think the music landscape was also changing around that time.
th-cam.com/video/3o0WuRo4P5A/w-d-xo.html
@@DwayneChess He was still touring then he didn't have time to put out an album then so when the tour finally ended he started working on the Bobby album which released in 92
He was gaining weight ? Damn I thought Bobby was jacked asf during this time
**sigh** Another handsome man from the 80s. ❤️❤️❤️
Right before his wife's career skyrocketed to new heights with her first film and the soundtrack that came after, BB and his career would take a backseat during this period. _Bobby_ had hits but it was criminally slept on. If I was him, I would've dropped the _Mystical Magic_ (unreleased/shelved) exactly one year after _DBC_ (and 2 more albums) in the vein of Prince as Prince released _Sign o' the Times_ to _Diamonds and Pearls_ in that same period. But it's amazing how _DBC_ had Bobby hot longer than four years. _DBC_ and _Bobby_ are undisputed classics. #RIPWhitneyHouston
You’re actual and factual. I really wish he would’ve released that album before all of the hype about his marriage overshadowed his true career which was proving to be very promising, if he had kept really going strong. Love will make you do some crazy things and act in crazy ways. Wish the two of them knew how to balance things better, so they could’ve be equally successful, you know? From the leaked tracks I’ve heard and when he use to perform Tap Into My Heart, Mystical Magic had some great songs!
@@atiyahsaleemah8659 BB could've honestly struck while the iron was hot. '88 was _Don't Be Cruel_ '89 could've been _Mystical Magic_ '90 he could've collaborated a lot more with Flyte Time, Teddy Riley or even used his wife's producer Narada Michael Walden for some hits and late '91 should have been _Bobby_ in that order. I believe he was also supposed to have a starring role in _Toy Soldiers_ along with Lou Gossett Jr. because when he was asked about his plans for the decade on _Video Soul_ he said Lou Gossett Jr. wanted him to star in a film with him called _Go Beverly_ but they got never got the chance. So with a little bit of research I'm assuming that _Toy Soldiers_ was supposed to be the film. In the meantime, Bobby had toured for three years solid and made about $30 million from the album and the tour (domestic and international).
@Alex Kanyima He had problems before Whitney (three children out of wedlock, sexual antics on stage, perceived unprofessionalism with his group, etc.) but it didn't come to light until him and Whitney started dating and eventually marry. Plus when they first met she was already a superstar with a squeaky clean image aka "America's Sweetheart" and he was the Bad Boy of R&B. Two stars red hot early in their careers. But as the music transitioned somewhat his career began to take a backseat and after _Bobby_ he had roles in movies like _Panther_ and _Thin Line_ as he was also supposed to do _A Goofy Movie_ complete with the soundtrack but was replaced and Tevin Campbell did some of the songs due to his drug use. The music faltered, I would've already been in 3 sitcoms, 5 movies, etc. if I was him.
@Alex Kanyima I mean I would have done sitcoms and movies by the time the music started to die down.
In his book he mentioned he had music in his garage I wonder if Mystical Magic was one of them.. I really wish we could have heard that album I also think he should have went harder he could have dominated the 90s and 2000s plus Bobby could really act and he definitely should have did more acting..
He said they didn’t like each other at first, that’s hilarious 😂😂
I still play all of Bobby Brown's music
Me too..his music never gets old.🔥💃🏾🔥💃🏾🔥💃🏾🔥
I have that tracksuit he’s wearing, Bobby Brown a legend!
Me too. It’s a 1992 Jordan 7 Classic.
I love Bobby man! I hate when people speak so negatively about him.
I had a HUGE crush on Bobby Brown. So smooth and talented and those moves......i was upset when he married Whitney. Very happy to see him getting respect.
“There’s something about her eyes. Her eyes just do something to me.” Awww #YoungLove 🥰
They use to say that her eyes shine ....I like her eyes too 🤩
He has commented on her eyes many times. So he seems to have meant that. He said they made him melt. It's funny how BK looked more like him, but she definitely had her Mother's eyes lol.
The young ladies loved Bobby Brown in the early part of his career. I believe Bobby Brown once said dance on James Brown stage the Godfather as a kid.
I’m 23 and wasn’t even born around the time he was big, and I can still look past most of the bull shit and crap they put on him, he’s iconic
Nothing is gonna changed my love for Bobby ❤
This is the King ....King Bobby Brown.
Respect way past due!! 💯💪🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks For A Rodd Parks?
That interview was extra official, my first time ever seeing it TODAY 🔥🔥🔥💯✅
That Boston accent though! ❤
he sure was in good shape back them with those dance moves..
#BOBBYBROWNSTILLTHEKING🤴🏿
And that's 💯
Boyyyy, dem boys were smooth back in the day. I used to be excited to see their first video on night tracks
Thanks gospelevans
Respect from Turkey .
N.E. knows that they fucked up by giving Bob the boot. He became bigger than all of them by the late 80's.
Not necessarily, they would have f*cked up even more keeping him. Bobby was getting high and it had became apparent while touring. Bobby should have gotten clean and got his act together.
@@mariahyohannes he was taken drugs, but it did not really get bad until late 92. I understand them kicking out, but if management wasn’t in their ear so much I think Bobby would’ve still been in the group.
@@jamesb.3869 Yes his drug use was bad in 1985. If you can't go on stage and perform without a bump of cocaine than you are an addict. His behavior was erratic, always arguing and always fighting. Ricky Bell said he & Bobby were about to smoke a blunt (weed) and Bobby already had it rolled, Ricky said when took a hit of it, he had an intense high and his head was pounding, he said weed never made him feel like that before, Bobby didn't tell him until after that he had laced the weed with coke. Do you know how evil you have to be to lace someone's weed with a substance they never took before and only tell them after they took a puff ? They had every right to kick him out in 85'. A junkie can't give a proper performance and a junkie isn't prompt. All Bobby had to do after getting kicked out was go to rehab and work on getting clean, but he did not. Instead he made himself the victim which he seems to do A LOT.
@@mariahyohannes bob has never made himself the victim. He always own up to his mistakes. It’s when he says that others have a problem also it’s an issue. It’s not Bob fault that Rick smoked his blunt. I watched that interview, Bob should‘nt have to look out for Rick, they knew what he was doing in by the late 90s. Rick took a hit of Bob’s cigarette that he already had rolled up. If ricky was disoriented, do you really think Bobby was in any condition to talk then. Because according to Whitney’s brother, Bobby was a lightweight when it came to drugs. It’s nice how you tried to the spin the facts. There is not even a shred of evidence to suggest that Bobby did drugs before every performance and I mean NONE. All he has ever said that his drug use became an everyday thing after he got married. Also he was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder the in early 2000s. Judging by his erratic behavior at some points he could’ve easily had it by the mid to late 80s. Because he said he has had mood swing problems for decades. Combined with alcohol and substances abuse would set anybody of the edge. Wym can’t give a proper performance the only problem that New edition had with Bobby is that he wasn’t complying with the bubblegum image like the rest of them and kept going over the set time for the songs he led on. He also tired of management stealing money from and them and playing them as fools. That’s the main reason he acted out. Bob was already on his way out the door when they kicked him out of the group. Bob told Ralph that he was thinking about leaving the group. If he did not know how to give a proper performance, he would have not have made so much money touring. Also Bobby was not the only one that was missing tour dates, Johnny is the only one to never miss a show. And when one of the singers were out Bob had to cover for them. The only home again footage available on the internet is a show that Ricky missed because of his drug use. Bobby sing lead for BBD, himself, and new edition that night. Also how was he going afford rehab when he got kicked out. They no money to afford it, they were still living in the projects.
He had to go. He was going to ruin the group. Plus let's not act like BBD wasn't huge too.
The story about Nippy so cute. I miss them together❤️ Bobby was so smooth back in the day!!!

Fine 😻 I used to have the biggest crush on him.
Bobbbbyyyy
I love Bobby Brown!!! ❤️
The original king of R&B end new Jack swing
Aaayyyyee Bobby was LITLIT
I'll always love you Bobby.
Those Browns have some strong genes
Why do they act like bobby was a scrub?
I personal think, the “higher people” never cared for him, due to the fact that his style of R&B was different, it was street and rugged and on top of that they placed that “label” on him early way before meeting Whitney, they just waiting until he set destruct to make it official, on top of that I find it funny after people like R-kelly and usher came out afterwards and had a similar form of R&B they expected them more so they choose to like who they like, but they know bobby was that dude
Who is they?
@@steezy6430 bobby shouldve got new writers and producers with that album. He should had figured that out with the the album that came out in 92.
I was excited when he did the hook on the murder inc song
S T E E Z Y ⚡️Yeah my way was no joke, love learning the history of real music thank you
He should've worked with Devante Swing
Listen To That Boston Accent
Great interview. I have that Air Jordan 7 warm up suit and the hat. Good taste Bob.
''Bobby'' was so good as ''Dont be cruel'', had excellent songs and commercial appeal, but did wrong about timing (in 92 New Jack Swing was full of groups and Bobby wasnt novelty) and his image was too much associated with Whitney Houston
Bobby Brown got lost in the shuffle.
Bobby could've easily transitioned to the Hip hop soul era of the 90's if he was more focused. I would've loved to hear what Bobby released if he did.
keep in mind Micheal Jackson even admired Bobby Brown
Obviously! New Edition was influenced by the Jackson 5
Michael Jackson eventually worked with Teddy Riley so I’m not surprised
@@prepproduction6872 Michael Jackson wrote and did background for Ralph Tresevant too.
I love Bobby brown no homo
Does anyone know if there's any loose tracks from Mystial Majical? 🤔
Bobby's the David Ruffin of NE while Ralph is the Eddie Kendricks of NE.
Bobby the goat idc idc
I just know he got the cardinal 7s with that outfit .
✌🏾😍
👍
Back to 1992! When he was released his 3rd album Bobby, it was overshadowed and overtaken by - Whitney's superstardom of acting like The Bodyguard, the R&B landscape was changing fast with the likes of R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, Tevin Campbell, Hi-Five in general. New Jack Swing at that time was on its way out as well. Bobby, BBD's Hootie Mack, JG's Provocative and RT's It's Going Down albums were a flop.
@Daniel Nelson not exactly a flop but when your last Album does 8 million then your next one just does 3 million, the label looks at that as a flop
He should've done an album backed by Devante Swing
Lol! Since when did R Kelly, Mary J Blige, Jodeci and Hi-Five have a world tour with Budweiser and Coca-Cola sponsoring it??? Those acts couldn't even sell outside America so overall he still outdid them. You people love to pretend he wasn't more popular than bandmates, especially overseas!!!
Bobby still went triple platinum tho
@@lulumyataza7894 Bobby was a megastar but at this time those acts were hotter and on thier way to the top. Especially Mary and Jodeci. The hottest acts in rnb in 1992/93.
This album is next to Michael Jackson "Bad"
Bobby Brown sounded like Michael Jackson when he was singing at a young age.. WOW!
Ralph sounded more like Mike...I used to think that was the Jackson's when i was a shortie
You get thumbs down for the Aquarius lie
Too bad he drove Whitney to the ground. If she had gotten away from him she would still be around.
Maybe! Maybe not! We are all responsible for our own actions at the end of the day! When we stand b4 The Creator no person can pass the blame. Even the Devil will say" I only suggested. Im free from you!"
Not true Whitney was on crack before she even met Bobby
@@omgimover4075 Facts!!!
You make no sense, he loved her and she loved him. We are all responsible for our own choices rather it be good or bad. I'm sure even Whitney would agree.
@@lashawnamoore8374 Facts!
I love Bobby man! I hate when people speak so negatively about him.
