Go back in time (1990) as BBD blows through the Apollo with their "SKIDZ" overalls and their SMASH HIT "POISON". You'll need to turn this one UP!! -Mike was in the zone!
As a Millennial I actually grew up on this. But I was born in 87 and I think alot of people born after 85 didnt really grow up on this if they didn't have older siblings. My oldest brother always had us listening to this.
On point like soldiers ! They were a group of Dancers from LA called Str8 Ahead here is a link about them www.iloveoldschoolmusic.com/remember-bbds-fly-female-dancers-found-em-wait-til-u-see-them-now/
i did this dance at their concert, i was the only one doing it all the other girls were dancing like hoochies, been waiting to do this dance for 20 years, I didnt even have to look at the dancers, but BBD was checking me out
LaRhonda Burchett , that's what happens when you take care of yourself. Ronnie is smart with his money, quiet and laid back, and on top of that he's incredibly sexy and talented.
These guys sort inaugurated the 90's and took hip hop and new jack swing to another level. I remember the first time I saw this in 90, it was sort a religious experience, like I was in church and the Whole place caught the Holy Ghost. I could hardly believe what I was watching at the time. Amazing stuff and loved that they gave it their all...
Man classic performance I miss those days wish we can go back to them Guy New Edition Jodeci Silk BBD Troop R Kelly Aaron Hall Gerald Lervert Keith Sweat wish we can go back to those days
Ricky Bell is the most underrated singer of all-time. Even on the Heart Break album. I'm Comin Home. His secondary lead made that song the best on the album
DAAAYUUMMN!! They broke that ish all the way down!!! Talent. Sexiness. Hype dance moves. Love BBD all day(and of course NE 4ever). I wanted to be a BBD dancer LOL...they killed it. Thank you for sharing this. :)
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? That entire theater was out of their seats! The levels of professional of this group too! Michael Bivens’ mic straight went out and you didn’t even notice. Plus some.
They had every school talent show on lock...I swear every year after this came out at least one group of kids at my elementary school danced to this💃💃💃💃
Da 90's music was da shit back then and still tiz in Hip Hop and R&B baby! That's why everybody and their mama still dance to this! This era and the 70's dominated music! Nuff Said!
EVERYTHING about this performance was a whole vibe 💯! BBD were in their prime and in sync with one another. The dancers were on point (as usual) and straight fire with the choreography and the crowd was engaging and hype like a concert should be.👏🏽🤗 I Love This! Best Era...PeriodT!
omg! I feel like a teenager again. these guys along w/NE still put on a GREAT SHOW! so underrated. all cuties in their own way but I can't ever choose one but Biv is the flyest mofo out there to this day. lol.
Mike Bivins was a " G" in forming B.B.D. i watched him keep his eyes on the streets of boston when i would see him hanging out at nubian notions. watching hip hop breakin various barriers in boston.
Hell least they were singing..this new artist just dance to the tracks an since maybe two or 3 words...only artist I could think of that can do this much work is chris brown...an even he not doin it as much anymore..
leonard hicks You're right lol. With BBD they can pull it off as long as Ricky hits the right notes in the chorus. But looking back at this they still sounded good. They just started a lil rough
_Showtime at The Apollo_ was such a great show! *I don't even like this song, but this was so much fun I watched it twice!* On _Showtime_ they really put on a show!
+Nick Lee Never really got into rap music. I like *singers* (jazz, pop and some blues singers) and rap isn't singing (even though they _are_ singing in this particular song). (Also, it doesn't help when you have a younger [by 2 years] brother, who thinks he can beat you up [*literally!*] for not liking the same music *he* likes!)
jeffrey shell yes you missed out on a lot. I was born in 78 good thing there is TH-cam. Because for some reason record execs think we don't know the difference between the real deal and a side show. Even though my parents divorced I was lucky to know about all kinds of music. My mom for a long time was all about gospel. She still is but has opened up a little to certain R&b songs. My dad listened to everything else.
ima kp it 100.. i remember as a kid staying up late night watching this and saying bbd has changed and took r n b to a whole nother level...... they wasnt the clean new edition from the early 80s they was young men and they let it be known they wasnt the bubble gum singers no more, they was dope.... salute 2 bbd who change the game... alot of ppl include myself try 2 dress like them...

Behind Oaktown 357... They were Hammers background dancers before they started rapping.
McHammer's dancers were also lit. I was at the concert and I had never seen anyone perform that well. Mind-blowing.
Hear n soul Bobby brown dancers
They just made a documentary about them. I loved it.
Ricky was given the opportunity to sing lead... he kicked straight through that damn Door 🚪!!
Dancing they asses off and still singing live. Got the crowd all hype! Ronnie Devoe showing how it's done. Hella sexy to this day.

NellyBelle Ikr
The best time of my life; the 90’s. I was a freshman in college dancing to this song.
Me too. Ahhh the good ol days.
my right headphone enjoyed this a lot.
ukstevey lol It was my right
I SOOOOOOOOOO remember this! Damn *sigh* those were the days!!!!!!!!!
That's a performance for that a**. They were going off. Loves it!!!
Ricky Bell is the most underrated singer of all-time. Even on the Heart Break album. I'm Comin Home. His secondary lead made that song the best on the album
That Part! Slick is that dude 🔥🔥🔥
Those overalls are so retro, madd respect for their fly.
How fit would you be if you danced like this everyday? 😆
The dancers were killer!
Ronnie is the best dancer! Couldn't take my eyes off of him.
Ronnie is super fine sighhhh
Michael dances just as good as ronnie in this video he dances better than Ronnie,my opinion
man that whole album was dope
damm they rocked the house
AJ Lucas Wordddd yoooo 😂
Best r&b/hip-hop live performance ever. Find me any that compares. 🔥🔥 🔥
I used to wear my hair just like those female dancers seriously
late 80s early 90s...best rap/hiphop/dance music in history..and loved the fashion and hair then as well..just great times..
DAAAYUUMMN!! They broke that ish all the way down!!! Talent. Sexiness. Hype dance moves. Love BBD all day(and of course NE 4ever). I wanted to be a BBD dancer LOL...they killed it. Thank you for sharing this. :)
Two Words: Ricky Bell. Almost makes a younger girl wish for older days.
TheVariedEdbanger
well, I'll be damned.
I was thinking exactly that.
rotflmao
yes! I'm 22 and he's fine as hell.
I love how they can dance!!!
best old school hip-hop song ever.
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? That entire theater was out of their seats! The levels of professional of this group too! Michael Bivens’ mic straight went out and you didn’t even notice. Plus some.
They had every school talent show on lock...I swear every year after this came out at least one group of kids at my elementary school danced to this💃💃💃💃
This is how you remind Bobby, Ralph, and Johnny to not get the game twisted...we are the shit too!
Damn the Apollo was hype ass hell
Da 90's music was da shit back then and still tiz in Hip Hop and R&B baby! That's why everybody and their mama still dance to this! This era and the 70's dominated music! Nuff Said!

I Love This!
Best Era...PeriodT!
I remember that performance. 😃The energy with the crowd!!!! 😯 WOW!😳👍
Nothing comes close to our culture. The 1990s music took everything to the next level👍🏾
It’s so hard to vibe to this generation music when you’ve lived thru that .......
Sorry.....not sorry
Peace
You said that!!!
I totally feel you , where is the energy and life from this new generation 👎👎😢
A perfect example why my generation (X) was, is, and will always be the shit.. We killed it.

I remember BBD. I used to hear this tune almost every day at lunch time back in middle school early 90s. Good times.
A certain part of this song reminds me of the movie Mo Money..my jam too! Aye!!
Now that’s stamina!!!
Yes their singing was not the best but look at how hard they were dancing! Idgaf....thats still a great performance
Hell least they were singing..this new artist just dance to the tracks an since maybe two or 3 words...only artist I could think of that can do this much work is chris brown...an even he not doin it as much anymore..

+Nick Lee Never really got into rap music. I like *singers* (jazz, pop and some blues singers) and rap isn't singing (even though they _are_ singing in this particular song).
