When living in ATL I worked at sprint store as a technician and Ronnie came into the store one night and needed his phone fixed because it wasnt working right and I damn near hit the roof because I grew up on these guys and am a big fan of the group..this guy came in and was acting like he wasnt a star or part of a mega group..was so humble and asked could I fix his phone..man forget fix his phone I just gave him another one and he sat their and talked to me for about 30min..best day of my life so to my man Ron thanks for the memory bro and god bless you all
@@reginaldwilliams6241 Actually I checked the phone and that model was known to fail so it was not against the rules in fact the technicians job at that time was to make sure that the customer was satisfied...did him being a member of my favorite group play a part in my decision...probably....lol but no it was not against the rules...the last question about extra money..no we are not allowed to take money as long as they had the insurance plan on the phone
I've never seen an interview with these dudes as introspective and educational as there were in this one. Sway lobbed up the questions and they each ran clinics.
Just looking at your comment I can tell I will like this interview way more then again I prefer sway majority of the time over the breakfast club , hot 97.
Props for getting his life together after putting himself through so much over the years. He has cleaned up a lot in recent years, mentally and physically. Like Sway said, we need to stop focusing on the wrong and celebrate when folks do well. But yes, agree to disagree.
🙌🏽Sway! Man you always give THE best interviews. Somehow you not only allow the speakers to speak their truths but you listen and follow up with questions that we need to hear! Thank you once again for the honesty of it all! They are legends!
I love them NE for life! Mike is such a calm and wise soul. When I met him briefly at an amusement park in Agawam Massachusetts called Riverside (now six flags). He was just as calm then as he is now. He respects and acknowledges all his fans. He is a cool a%# dude. Thank you for this interview.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MIKE HE JUST GOT HIS GED, THE LITTLE GUY IS ALSO A GENIUS IN TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS, HE HAS A BRILLIANT MIND, REMEMBER ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL THING HE SAID IS BE A LISTENER, BELIEVE ME YOU WILL LEAN MUCH.
HELL YA, Mike! Yo, for someone that gave up school for his craft - really embraced it. his explanation of team and know your role and just ask questions is exactly what life is about. everything he did was at 100%. If that meant quiting school then whatever (positive) replacement you have in store for that better be at 100%. You a Model Biv!
Thanks Bobby this really made me respect you as an individual, I understand now why you lol we’re as you were. Hands high and hat off, going through all so much you still standing tall. Your love 💕 for your family and most of all your children should be an instrument letting black men to be fathers at all times no matter what the situations are. Go guys looking forward to seeing you.
I just love you guys, and Sway thanks for always keeping us updated and keeping your show straight interesting and motivating. Michael Bivins hit it dead on!
Just watching this in 2022 as they do the Culture Tour and feeling floored with emotions because these men are so LOVED AND THEY ARE PHENOMENAL ❤️❤️❤️❤️. I APPLAUD EACH AN EVERY ONE OF THEM AND PRAY THAT GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS THEM AND KEEP THEM 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. LUV THEM ALL SO MUCH❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fast forward to 2022 all the guys are together on their New Edition Tour doing a phenomenal job bringing their great songs. New Edition together are Music Royalty 👑👑👑👑👑👑💕May God bless these guys with many more lucrative opportunities and bless their families too.
daskinder ?...why agree and say you KNEW they were coming here AFTER the Breakfast Club,... then in the same breath say you THINK they came here to Sway first? ..Its either one or the other. P
Love the New Edition guys. Love all 6 of them. Two brothers are missing from these much loved family of brothers. Please we your fans beg you lot sort out your issues and support each other. Regardless of all the various versions of this group we your fans love you all as solo artist, mini groups and main group. You must all support one another...all six of 6 you should sit in a room without wives/ partners and lawyers and resolve your problems. Do not let foolishness get in the way of this group greatness..
You can’t help but realized Mike has it on target, the truth was told by this man on this interview. Speaking from my experiences, to much slips by when you don’t listen. That’s my definition of a group, each person doing what they do best for the whole of the group.
I would love to see a BBD movie, a Ralph movie, A Mike movie, a Ricky movie, a Ronnie movie and absolutely a Johnny Gill movie. And I would like a Brooke Payne movie. They all have interesting stories.
Love these guys , they’re awesome and living Icon. Listening to Mike speaking let’s me know that these men are the truth in the industry, they know their ways around this industry, only wish that they would leave out the profanity, lol when I listen to interviews like to be able to play it for the children at church without all the beeping. Rickey is the only one who speaks without profanity, such a intelligent guy my favorite NE. and a true believer in God. Bobby has moved into lol 😆 second Favorite. I really have great respect for these 4 guys.
What bad move?' Ralph and the rest of these fogeys are 50 years old. Ralph is probably sick and tired of these drama queens. Ralph is living his life, doing his radio show and an occasional small concept. Bobby Brown, Ronnie Devoe(who now has a peach on RHOA, and they say he is the biggest shit starter on the show), Rickey Bell and Mike Bivens are out here doing shows like their lives depended on it. They are old enough and should have made enough money to where they should be doing what Ralph is doing, taking it easy. They are no spring chickens. I love NE, but for the love of God, RBRM, get some other dimension to yourselves. Yall even dress like yall are still youngsters, yall are not. Get a damn clue, grow the "F" up
@@calhounsista6491 First off they are entertainers secondly there showing ralph that they are not relying on his ass anymore same thing for johnny they are performers thats what made them yes RBRM is old aint we all gonna be up there age aint nothing but a fucking number like Mike said niggas gotta eat there not gonna wait for ralph and johnny to get out that funk there in they gonna give the fans a show come on now and talking about they need to grow up have you not seen what they all went through its life its always gonna be a lot of curve ball happening to them that doesn't mean you should stop doing what you love so like i said while RBRM is on stage giving the fans a show Ralph is on the radio thats his choice but i know deep inside he regret it and Johnny he a cool guy i dont know whats going but its what ever so yeah and Ralph if he was smart he should of took that god damn sony deal he that sensitivity song didnt sell more than bobby and bbd and johnny he was at the bottom but that his choice all because he wanted to what bobby did behind Ronnie Ricky and Mike back that was a dumbass move he did no loyalty at all in that situation yeah he should continue his radio show while RBRM is on stage giving the fans a show.
I'm not gonna lie, other than Candy Girl, Poison, Can You Stand the Rain, and Bobby B, I never really knew who NE was until I watched the biopic. Now, I love their music, all their music! I just discovered HIT ME OFF and RUN by BBD and those are my jams! NE is the best R&B/Hip Hop group in history. Y'all got a whole lotta new fans from the two biopics, and I'll keep up with y'all for the rest of y'alls careers!
Biv is ALWAYS spittin one to grow on...🍻 The best interview I've ever seen was him SOLO on The Breakfast Club a few years ago. And for N.E. to still go through the pettiness means they're not ALL listening to THAT dude...💯
The best interview given by These Men, Sway is gifted with being a peacemaker among his guests .Mike Bivins is a very intelligent brother : Two ears and one mouth and watch the moves wit yo eyes and focus wit yo mind and have a good heart.

Actually it was in the early 2000 and smart phones were not around yet...he did give me his real estate card though which I still have..Good dude

Mr. Michael Bivins is a wise, intelligent, and humble leader. A real OG.#RespekDaGod
lol. yeah ok
I know you are hating that is why you are the nameless "None None", i.e., insignificant.
@@MrJuice1276 Now that's funny. Yes, name speaks for itself.
Can't call anyone a Legend..but these are true Legend's..
I couldn't get through it because at first they were all talking at one time.
Nevermind 😆
I've never seen an interview with these dudes as introspective and educational as there were in this one. Sway lobbed up the questions and they each ran clinics.
True. I think their earlier interview from The Breakfast Club earlier helped their chemistry as well.
Just looking at your comment I can tell I will like this interview way more then again I prefer sway majority of the time over the breakfast club , hot 97.
@@davon4470 same here. Sway sets a great energy
sway is obnoxious ha. the guys are great
Bobby Looks so much better now! Pray the Lord cover these men to stay on the righteous path for themselves and their families.
Nah... he looks like the life he's lived
True. He looks much better than he did a few years ago. some people just can't give props.
@@notynoty7526 my opinion differs, and props for what ?
Props for getting his life together after putting himself through so much over the years. He has cleaned up a lot in recent years, mentally and physically. Like Sway said, we need to stop focusing on the wrong and celebrate when folks do well. But yes, agree to disagree.
He looks great as far as he has more inner peace, and serenity. Wisdom is graced upon his spirit.
Mike just killed it with that knowledge
Sway, you need a better wide angle cam to get everybody in one shot
Sway wide that cam angle a little. Got Bobby B hidden in the corner. Legend.
Mike Bivens always keeps it POSITIVE and REAL ...I LOVE this
Vicki Fellows, You are so Right!!!
Love your show Sway. The New Edition Story and looking forward to Bobby Brown Story.
I love these guys...super fan. Mike Bivens is the man! All these guys nothing but love for them
Michael Bivens is wise beyond his years. great interview
Bobby’s 2nd time here. BBD’s first time here. Johnny’s been here. Now we need Ralph here on Sway
Very touching and nice the way they gave Heather B props at the end.....Very nice!
I had a child to the song Can You Stand The Rain.
I like this Bobby!! Bravo to 30+!!
" We still gotta eat!" That real right there!
B Brown. King of stage
Mike spittin' straight FACTS and knowledge man. God Bless RBRM
🙌🏽Sway! Man you always give THE best interviews. Somehow you not only allow the speakers to speak their truths but you listen and follow up with questions that we need to hear! Thank you once again for the honesty of it all! They are legends!
Man, Mike came through with the WORD!
Iyanla Fix My Group? Sounds like a new show for OWN.
LOL
That would be soooo good omg..112, Jodeci, Destiny's Child, etc😃❤👏
You're not selfish ronnie..you working taking care of your family
New Edition brings back that young childhood nostalgia! ❤️

Sway gives the best intros hands DOWN...js
Him and Nore in my opinion.
Mike Bivens dropping gems....wisdom at its finest. Excellent interview.

Don’t be cruel, i still play that album from track 1, all the way through. Excellent album.
He said it God didn’t put us here to harm ourselves drugs have proven to be harmful 🙏🏿
I love them. I feel like they can all teach a college course on the music biz especially mike.
Mike is an intelligent man!!!! I love how he dress too!!!!
My boys since 83 and still going hopefully those 2 divas will comeback and join these 4 alphas and do the damn thang soon!

Love how these brothas move!!#Salute
LEGENDS!!!
Fantastic interview! So many jewels dropped. Looking forward to reuniting with them next month.
ITS A LONG WAY FROM ''THE FEVER'' WHEN THEY GOT THAT DEAL ON KRUSH GROOVE!!!!!!!!
Love this! So many jewels were dropped in this interview! HAND DOWN MY FAVORITE GROUP! # NE4LIFE
I read the B. Brown Book. Two years ago it's a good book.
These groups have issues because of pride, egos and money.
They Brothers At The End Of The Day , Wen U Come From Nothing Of Course Is Gon Be The Ups n Downs But As A Man Is only Right Communication Is A Must 💯
facts!
Frank Henry he/she did articulate herself because you clearly understood what they were saying. Grammar =/= articulation
Bobby is looking good
I love watching them tell their story
Great Interview Sway!! 💯
Mike has been my favorite since the very beginning... love me some New Edition 💜
Poison is the only track that plays in the club and people get hype
Right..sprung my dam ankle trying to skate to it😅
MIKE BIVENS DROPPIN PURE JEWELZ
This was a GREAT interview! Thanks Sway!
Respect! Great interview
These brothers dropped all Gems

A lot of wisdom! Love it 😍
IDGAF WHAT HAPPENED.... That home again album and swag was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!
King Of Stage!
I want Mike Bivens as my manager! I'm a singer and he's right, no one cares no more. He knows what he's talking about
beautiful interview Sway 🤗
...Sittin' groups in a room, facts
Yea groups can never keep it together. I'm a bone thugs fan and they always splitting up.
Man I totally agree. Been a Bone Thugs fan since the beginning. Sucks they always broke up. BUT when they got back together they made hip hop magic.
Me too! I love Bone. I wish they would work it out they are legendary.
I did enjoy that Uni5 album they put out when Flesh came home.
Rather BBD make a movie or not none of them in N.E would ever be as big as Bobby hands down!!!!!
I agree with you 100%. Bobby was ahead of his time.
🏆💯 dat's right let b known...
Or as ugly. Or as ugly acting
Why they dont show Bobby like they're showing everyone else
+Wendy Holmes The camera lens couldn't get everybody without phasing out the host which is Sway.
Cuz he wild... 😂😂
Y'all know
Cuz Bobby is ugly looking. He hasn't aged as well as the others.....:)
