Idk…smack it up, flip it down OHH NOOO is not even in the same league as W.A.P. & what the listen to now. Back then you had to use your imagination to make it mean as much or as little as was appropriate.
Ron giving me "Fresh Price" vibes in this video. The hair style, the dance moves, and especially that yellow tank. Go head Ron. Looks like Will in the early seasons of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
He is an incredible singer with great vocal range because on the Candy Girl album he was singing bass but on NE Heartbreak he was hitting falsetto notes.
Ron's rap - courtesy of Busta Rhymes - Who knew?!! That was definitely a shock to me. Just lets you know how long people have really been in the game/behind the scenes.
These guys were ahead of their times....could you imagine how they would rule the radio if they came out today? LOVE BBD!!!!! Flip it smack it rub it down....oh noooo...the girl is gonna do me.
+Michael Taylor, i don't know about ahead of the time. this was the sound at the time...for example, Father MC/Mary J Blige/Jodeci sound. matter of fact, the whole Uptown, Guy, etc...
BBD's music came out about a year BEFORE all the group you typed in that CD was Ground breaking ....this spawned so many groups in the 90's because of BBD style
"Time was 6 o'clock on the Swatch watch, no time to chill got a date can't be late...girl's gonna do me". LOVE IT, swatch watch lol So many great lines in this! I'm sure I'll still be jammin to it im my 70's. Thanks for the memories BBD! Saw the N.E. concert at Mohegan Sun the night Whitney was buried + Bobby showed up...under the circumstances still a phenomenal concert. They still got those moves too!

You are now 44. I am a few years older than you. This was my jam. Girls from back in the day think of me when they hear it. Must have serenaded a few with this playing, lol
I loved the bumping & grinding sounds, which were all through the original version but can only be heard in the beginning here. "Smack it up, flip it, rub it down, Oh No....."
I had this album when I was 9 and my mom hated that r’n’b was explicit. I loved it. Michael Bivens and Ronnie were my Pac and biggie in the late 80’s. Mad love for the O.G.’s of R n’ B. 🔥🔥❤️❤️
Summer ‘90 🔥 🔥 ☀️ my mom was 10 years old! She said this song, Poison, U Can’t Touch This MC Hammer, Humpty Dance Digital Underground, Step By Step NKOTB was on heavy rotation at that time on MTV, & on radio stations
Just heard this on satellite radio for the first time in over twenty years. Completely forgot this song ever existed! Thank you, Sirius!!!! Smack it up, flip it, rub it down! Oh nooooooooooooooo!
lol wow. I’m 25 and just found this song TODAY! I like it , I must say music use to have a certain quality of substance . Not saying our music is horrible but it’s lacking meaning .
Ronnie was singing about having sex with a kid...BACK STAGE UNDER AGE ADOLESCENT... I loved New Edition and all variations except for maybe Bobby Brown but being grown, let me hear one of the kids in my family singing this 🥊🥊🥊 knock em out the block
Ahh yeah! Take me back to the good old days! At the skating rink! Hearing this track come on. Everyone went nuts! To be 13 again! Best music era! 💯 🙌🏻💙
“The time was 6 o’clock on the “Swatch Watch” no time to chill, got a date can’t be late.....Hey....”😍 Ah, & that Swatch Watch era!! If you know, you just know! 💯 Good ole days! 💙✌🏻
@@LifeIsNotorious No they were definitely referring to the younger girl's BBD was grown then. They weren't adolescents.. They were about 22 to 23 at this time. Listen again closely.
Man we used to jam on these boys at the club back in 94... I was in basic training...we had the world by the balls...where you at cotto!!...such good times i just cant even believe this was 30 freggin years already...man. This era of hip hop was just coming off motown type sound and they nailed it for sure. Nothing but good vibes when i roll back to all the club music
Its crazy that the background members of an successful R&B group made better music than the lead singer when they went solo. That’s why New Edition is the best R&B group ever.
@@seansswampthey weren't showcased vocally as much as Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, or Johnny Gill. Ricky Bell had some leads on NE songs, but not as many as the others.
Class of 1990... Yea we were Seniors in HS when this one was out... Im 43 going on 44 yrs old and there are STILL a few of us who can still move to this one!!! But we Sure Cut A Rug back in the Day!!! LOL !!! #80sChildForever #MissThe80s

WHY this WHOLE time I thought that was Ricky on the very beginning verse vocals? I've never seen this video til now so I just assumed. Ronnie's sexy ass better slay me to hell and back! 😫😭
Mariana Linder Girl aren't we all lmao. We LOVE him! 😍 I bet Ronnie has seen at least some of what his fans say and probably just be like.. 👀🙄 GWORL BYE! I'd pay to see his reaction to some of this stuff lol.
Biv tho in that bedazzled graffiti Jean jumpsuit tho 3:00 👌 90's throwback gear Fasho! They were ripe as Georgia Peaches in this VIDEO 🍑🍑🍑 Ronnie Devoe is Zaddy 😍🎤🔥
3:12 "Smack it up, flip it, rub it down, oh noooo!" Bill Hader's character sang that while dancing behind Les Grossman (Tom Cruise) in Tropic Thunder 💀💀💀💀
Mike Bivins is a legend for that line "Smack it up, flip it, rub it down...oh nooooo!" 😂😂😂🙌
NicoleBee 86 😂😂😂👌
NicoleBee 86 😂
Most certainly!...That line's been stuck in my head since childhood
NicoleBee 86 hell yeah I love our era.....
CocoaBae 86 yes lawd
As a parent, I'm appalled at what kids are listening to these days..but then I remember being 11 singing my heart out to this so....
BBD wasn't talking about turning their opps into packs so......
That's exactly what bright me here, lol
It’s still not as blatantly explicit as it is today. I like this better as a 17 year old boy.

@@jamiehodge3491 I dunno - I can think of a LOT of examples from back then. "In a 69 my Humpty nose will tickle your rear." comes to mind.
They just don't write deep soulful lyrics like this anymore.
"Smack it up, flip it, rub it down."
Oh Noooo.
Uhhh this is the early 90s music.. you know this right?
yooooooooo 😅😅😅😅
No Homo but when you see new edition videos with a solo, Ralph Bobby, Johnny Bell Biv DeVoe, why do they always got to take the shirt off lol
@@michelmullaney3641the point is most people who grew up on early 90s music say this about todays music.
"I got protection now I need affection"
"swing the booty in my direction"
😂😂
That's dope 🔥🔥
y..ye…yes….lyrical rhymical genius 😂
Sounds about right.

🤦🏾♀️wish I was born back in the day,Ronnie is just too damn fine yo😍😍
Man, listen. For a time... Bell Biv Devoe was EVERYTHING. Every rap and vocal group wanted to be THEM. No bullshit. Love these fellas forever.
True....And then JODECI came out and murdered everyone.
1989-90, 1990-1991... they said it at the end: Hip-hop, smooth out on the R&B tip with a Pop feel, appeal to it.
Given their pedigree while in New Edition, BBD were the dopest thing to emerge from that group. Bobby had the flavor but these cats had style!!
Ronnie and Bobby were the natural dancers
Cristiano Phillip mike too
They all were.....EXCEPT Johnny Gill.
bout to say Mike too...
Ralph was smooth as hell and weirdly the best rapper of the crew also.
@@mostmost1 he wasn't a rapper dummy
Smack it up! Flip it up! Rub it down! Yep a party classic.
I Really Love Ron😍 like Even When They Was In New edition He Was Always The Not so Popular one Look At My Baby now All Grown Up 😍😂
Hip hop smoothed out on the R and B tip with a pop feel appeal... to it ❤️😍
jadedaejanae with a hip hop appeal to it
Jay Cold she said it right..its pop feel appeal to it
yesssssss
It’s called New Jack Swing.
word up babe on tha serious tip!
They looked like they had a good time making this video. They were the hottest group out back then! still love em
So it's hip-hop, smoothed out, on the R&B tip, with a pop feel, appeal to it... I see.
Mentally hip hop
It's mental!😋
Everything is Mental
Chris brown
Word!
Ronnie Devoe you are in all categories of fine and flyness.❤️
To this day he looks the same minus the high top fade. 😩😩❤️
Ronnie DeVoe will forever be fine and the flyness of new edition and bbd

Girl yyyyaaasss😩😩😩
This is nikki anderson
Yeah he did that!
Ronnie Devoe and Mike Bivins was my everything😍😍😍😍😍
Pure Nostalgic Gold!!!
2:28-2:29 Ron's style, hair, and dance moves reminds me of The Fresh Prince. Miss the 90s.
Yeah I remember thinking back in the day that Ricky Bell was an underrated vocalist.
Lulu Centeno, he was
He is an incredible singer with great vocal range because on the Candy Girl album he was singing bass but on NE Heartbreak he was hitting falsetto notes.
He is the best!!!
Lulu Centeno he was the Paul Williams of the group
I love Ricky's voice in this song 😍😍😍
Ron's rap - courtesy of Busta Rhymes - Who knew?!! That was definitely a shock to me. Just lets you know how long people have really been in the game/behind the scenes.
Busta was only 17
Who knew?!! Because they said it on the Breakfast Club 👀 haha
Me also
Backstage... UNDERAGE... ADOLESCENT.
Ron was 23 at the time. Even Romeo and Juliet laws wouldn't have saved him.
Nice job Busta.
😬Yikes‼️
1:04, 1:28.. Damn Ricky. That 90s swagger is oozing😍😍😍. I love his voice especially 1:40-1:59.

They were bbd before bbd
@boricuafrican Bobby Brown, and Keith Sweat was doing the style too! It’s called New Jack Swing
Its a damn travesty that this video only has 2.8M views??? This song still bangs in 2017!!!
see I thought it was just Bobby that was the nasty one , but I guess it's all of them lol
Well...Ralph was a stonecold gentleman with ...sensitivity wondering who's the mack
He was THE nastiest! 😂

Nah Ricky was really crazy wit the vocals man
Hey hey. it doesn't get any better than this long live BBD. The real definition of a GROUP. The swagger is unbelievable
Took me back to middle school. This whole album is the joint!

Except BBD didn't start as a group until 90.
Smack it up, flip it, rub it down oh noooooooo!!!!!!
Roderick Turner sounds like PUSSY!! REAL GOOD! LOL..
THEY GOT IT IN ON THIS VIDEO STRAIGHT UP!!! HIP HOP SMOOTHED OUT ON THE R&B TIP WITH A POP FEEL, APPEAL, DO ME!! THEY WENT HARRRDDDD!!!!!!
One of the best remixes ever.

Finally saw them in concert after all these years it was so good!
Everytime I watch this Ronnie just becomes more & more good looking 😍
Perhaps no other group has ever had more style and swag than these cats. Legends!
You can do me in the morning, but 30 years later, the night is off the table because I go to bed early.
Now you know why 80s--90s kicked ass!!!!!
they still put on a good show, went one of their concerts in October and I had a ball, danced and sang every single song...lovin me some ronnie!!!
"Back stage, under-aged, adolescent, how you doing"...never really paid attention to this when i was younger lol

This video is what you call cool.a mix of R&B and rap.that was when this music was so cool and fun to listen to.music today is not like that anymore.
I was 17 back then. Good times!!
