This dude's solo career was so cold it ALMOST made you forget he started out in New Edition. The King of R&B!!
He has too much personality to fully shine being in a group. His departure ended up benefiting both him and NE big time
@@NewAb22good point
I can't stop dancing
Living down memory lane
'88
He killed it when he went solo. I mean his whole 1st album was full of #1 hits. Bobby was bad!!!
@@LeannaMiller-z5h* 2nd album, first album wasn't that great
@@VODaddyFresh That's right. "My Prerogative" was the 2nd album. I almost forgot that bc the first one was kind of silent and didn't get much press nor play. But the 2nd made him a star and household name. I could Google it, but how many hits got platinum and gold on that album?
This is an 80s masterpiece. His finest hour.
Guess you maybe a very big fan of Bobby Brown 😊
At the time Whitney Houston seemed to be perfect match
Who copied who? The start of the video looks like MJ The way you make me feel.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Rap, sing, dance. Bobby was cold!
And that bass be knocking on some 36 inch Alpine subs too this joint was 🥶 in the 80s
He also had just one great album.

Cold
@@jasondawson92 I need a good ass speaker system to hear this properly mayne 😅
80s kids know..... at this stage of his career.....he was *UNTOUCHABLE.*
Right!!!
I am 83 kid
Yeah but it was brief.
Very, very brief 💀
I thought it was 90s? Too or sumink
He was UNFUCKWITABLE..
This STILL bangs. That kick drum, snare and bass line is timeless.
The production genius of Babyface and LA Reid! 🥰
The brother is definitely talented ❤luv Bobby
& His moves 😮❤❤
Good Music 🎶 4EVER4LIFE 😅
timeless. tremendous
I thank God I live in a generation that music was about love and passion nowadays is about discussing sex,money and drugs
Bobby was thee first R&B singer to rap on his own tracks. It was unheard of in 89 & 90. He blended Hip Hop & R&B. Before Mary J. Before Aaliyah. Before Chris Brown. Before everybody else. Bobby did it first.
that blend you’re referring to is called New Jack Swing 🔥
Nah.. Teena Marie did it on Square Biz..
Incorrect.The very first was Jody Watley ‘Friends’ with Rakim 😂😂😂
@@southernladybrown5092 Jody Watley did not do any rapping...
@@muhamkcorrect .... Bobby was HIM back then
Happy Birthday !🎁🎈🎊🎉
That beat is just ridiculous. This song stands the test of time.
thank you!!! absolutely ridiculous
The first 10 seconds give me goosebumps!!
The beat hit the speakers 🔊 hard
Produced by LA and Babyface. You can even hear the R&B group, The Deele in the background
Iconic beat definitely will get you moving 🕺
The confidence and straight up arrogance Bobby had is iconic. He was good. He knew it. I knew it. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You know it
He was a young man, that was just youthful boyish energy combined with his personality and hood 😂
Yeah he knew it, he was just out there having fun doing what he wanted to do
Yeah True 😊
And his dance skills are phenomenal! He Got SWAGGER!🔥🔥🔥😎❤
Probably one of the best R&B albums ever. Every song is a banger.
Most definitely!
YES YES YES YES 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Nothing but facts!!!
Bobby KILLED this track and his Don't Be Cruel Album should be considered an R&B legacy Album!
It is. It's listed as one of the 20 greatest rnb albums of all time.
No, he killed Whitney
People can say what they want, but the Man was a BEAST!!!!
BEAST!!!
+Sammie Smith : i agreed 88/89 this was the beat. I still rock this in my car every now and then
I just said the same thing, lol
💯💯💯
You know, it's clear just from this song that the man was intense and demanding of respect, so was Whitney, I think she actually loved Bobby and that's why it was so hard for her to quit him.
This whole album had nothing but hits...
For real sis!!👏🏾🔥🔥🔥💁🏽❤️❤️
Every single song!
Yes!!!!!
I know Bobby is the real king of R-N-B and the real king of stage
Salute to Bobby, LA Reid, Babyface, and Teddy Riley. Legends
He was on top of his game at this stage of his career.....untouchable.
+broccolihart71 Yup! Awesome huh?!
+broccolihart71 No doubt!!!
+broccolihart71 So True!!! i saw the "King of Stage " tour here in Chicago, in April of 1989, with Karyn White, and Levert, when B.Brown, entered the stage from the sky, sitting on a Throne, it was on one of my top 5 concerts, ever!!!
Robert Jefferson that's awesome...even when he did his cameo appearance in the Martin Lawrence movie "A thin line between love & hate" you could totally tell that, he missed the spotlight and the ladies were still jockin' hard.
+broccolihart71 That was a funny ass movie!!! i think when Bobby, had the auditions , for the club in that movie he was dancing, to Zapp's " Heartbreaker"
Babyface, L.A. Reid and Darryl Simmons delivered a masterpiece of a track and album for Bobby, props go to the LaFace crew!!💯💯
Dont forget about Teddy Riley on My Perogative.
Darryl Simmons wasn't playing with the 🖋️ 😂
@@kemet80 n Mr nasty 😂
Bobby brown had swag before people knew what swag was.
+lindsay larsen Yes!!!
Tell them again.
Yesssss!! Fact.
lindsay larsen Testify. Yessssss lawd!!! B Brown invented swag. There will never be another B Brown. Love the original "King" of R&B Bobby Brown for life 😍 😍😍
Doris Woods king of new jack swing you mean
He sings, he raps, he dances and makes hits! Just one man! Bobby!
Sounds like Chris brown
Yeah he just didn't need New Edition anymore at that point
Yeah, he's real good when comes to the hits part
Probably one of the best albums ever made. Everyone laughed at Whitney for calling him " The King Of RNB". But it had some truth to it -During the time when this Album came out Bobby set a high standard that no one else had ever matched. He could actually Sing, Dance, Write, and Rap on his own songs. Alot of artists cant do that today.
^^^^ THIS
If Whitney would have said that in 88 or 89 would have made sense but she said that in 2000 when she won her Grammy and told the audience this award is for u the original R and B King by that time Bobby’s career was dead
@Annette Jenkins. You said well. Straight Facts
Abdu Robinson He will carry that title for life hun it doesn’t disappear
He actually could’ve rivaled Michael Jackson and that’s a fact
Music was so much better back than
💯No doubt!!!
Pure facts !!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Everyone believes their generation of music was the best
Definitely!!!
Definitely 💯 way better music 🎶 back then in the 80s an 90s.
This aged extremely well
Good great music never ages and it's always timeless.

Bobby was the MAN! Don't debate me. This guy rap, sing and dance, and had the looks. Truly a triple threat. Great times
You forgot naturally sexy.
The original singing nigga. Before Nelly
True true good times
@@ConanObrien22 Comparing him to Nelly... You're joking, right?
I could see why Janet and Whitney like him.
Bobby was on top of the world at this time.
He had to complete with MJ
+XRally So did Prince.

MJ's style was a bit more pop...Bobby at his height was king of R&B. Great era of artists.

Regardless of his antics, Bobby was that dood. This song, along with Roni were the highlights of the album in my opinion. His singing voice was crisp on both and especially this. The lyrics were dope. They don't make singers like Bobby anymore. The swagger. The bravado. The style. Long live The King of Stage, Bobby B.
Bobby is da king of Swagger!
The talented ones are always a little rough around the edges look at Chris brown
Queen khah bobby brown is more Talented and has been around longer than Chris . But Chris is talented too .
Bobby still the same as Bobby but he's not my daddy !!!
I agree!
Dope back then and still dope in 2024
You are all the way right

Before Chris Brown, Usher, Genuwine....... Bobby Brown was going triple platinum and selling out in concerts around the world...... classic
This album dont be cruel went platinum 10×
Patrick Harper plus he didnt have the help of the internet like itunes zune and all the other bullshit.
It was easier to sell back in the day.
Michael Washington
true dat. the artists would be limited to whatever the illuminati would like to be aired.
+Patrick.
Imo none of them guys you name come close to B Brown. His sound and style had a way of drawing you in.
I love how Bobby combined his rapping, singing and dancing skills all in the same song.
His simply the best....till today his songs make sense
Chandros Evans you mean drake was him
@@HakimBoxer215 Yes Drake definitely.
In my opinion, this is Bobby Brown's best track out of his entire music catalog! The beats are awesomely kick ass, the keyboards are slickly produced, and the vocals are crisp and clear.
Yes Sir!
Babyface & LA Reid had the chops in hit making back then with writing & composing this. They were a team.
PlayaPotna1984 I knew that information, respectively.
Alexander The Great I totally agree .. I've always thought this song is so fkin DOPE!!! The video isn't really too bad either so this shit's definitely timeless!!! So much fkin SWAG .. that's that new jack .. Teddy Riley shit.. I don't think either one of those guys get their just do .. it's like an era of lost music as far as "mainstream" .. a lot more of this shit still should get way more spins than it does .. you should still hear this track walking around the mall .. throwback stations on satellite .. they just don't play a lot of the new jack when every other band/Artist still get those spins daily!!??
StaTiC MaJoR 20/20 Dope, kick ass, fabulous, awesome, and whatever word fits.
Shout out to BabyFace for bringing Bobby to the center of the stage of R&B!
Bobby can't be denied...EVER!
If you weren't around during this magnificent era, YOU MISSED IT!❤ 💯
Bobby gettin kicked outta new edition was a blessing in disguise, he blew up 100 fold
amtownsyou510
I didn't know he'd been kicked outta NE! Of course I haven't seen his bio.
Reminds me of ice cube and nwa
Actually both grew....
@NigelBlandin-v6y yes but Bobby surpassed them all by farrrr
The whole album kicked ass!!!
For real this Beat knocks hard with the kick drum and bass funk Hip hop new Jack swing
Am0 jjhui.p
Say that again...
That was his best Album
Right I still bump this cd ❤
Bobby never featured a rap artist, he did own rap break. I still love me some Bobby Brown!!!
Bobby Brown never needed other singers to be successful, he is an independent artist, dances well, sings well, a real talent, complete singer
@@matheustyler4229 Yes! So true.

He wasn’t that big yet…stardom wise:
@@DjTIMEJDwhen this came out, he definitely was! He was pretty much at his peak at this time.
@@nathanmerritt1581 this was the first single. He hadn’t crossed over to mainstream success yet. His debut album pretty much flopped. He did have New Edition fame. When this song came out he was on the verge of blowing up, friend.
Well, in my defense, I was just one and a half months old when this song came out. But I love me some old skul vibes like this 😍
Being 50's and looking back just wanna said thank you bobby brown for all of those great memories being a teenager playing your great songs.
True that! 50 now I can still remember when I went to his concert.. ❤️ the BB
Bobby kills this song still sounds good 30 years later.
Bobby was the biggest entertainer in the world in this era ! He was on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The 80s was so badass
After Michael Jackson!!!
MJ was
Hammer owned 90-91
@@jnicemint Bobby's Don't Be Cruel came out in '88 and the album had 5 #1 hits on it. It carried through the next couple years. But Bobby got with Whitney and she ruined him. Sadly his career didn't last too long after that. It wasn't M.C Hammer that sabotaged Bobby's streak of good music.
The greatest selling album of 1989, with 12 million copies sold. Dude was on top of the world.
Sadly enough, fell just as fast
1988, not 1989. He did win a Soul Train Music Award back in April 89 for Album Of The Year Male.
Donald Davis II Don't be cruel
Tony P If there were a way to restoring Bobby Brown to his former glory, I'd do it. I rather dislike seeing young stars hit big in their youth and just drop the ball on the rest of their careers. Say what you will about Mr. Brown, but he had "it".
"Cocaine is a hell of a drug." - Rick James
Back in the day when Bobby Brown ruled the world.
They dont give this man his props. Before Bobby, everyone was listening to Luther, freddie Jackson and others. He was The one who mainstreamed edgy R&B and the music game changed since then. He fought w Baby Face to add raps to the songs, no one was doing that, he turned out to be right and a game changer. So when Whitney was saying the king of R&B, the original bad boy, she was right. Dont Be Cruel is one of the greatest albums ever made period
This comment is SPOT ON!! 💯
Thank you!
You said it best. Love this comment! You explained it exactly as it was back then. We had Freddie Jackson! Teddy Riley and Babyface gave is THIS! It changed radio!
Preach!
I love Alexander oneal too even though he was before my time. x
Who is still listening to this classic in 2025
The boy had the IT factor. Hard to believe the Bobby Brown today was actually this guy.
I saw him in Chicago a few years ago. Now, he s fat asf.
well people change...
Grief does things.
@@itsaplantlife9850 yes it does. So does marrying "America's sweetheart". Meanwhile Whitney was actually the catalyst for their drug fueled marriage. It amazes me that people overlook the fact that she was one effed up person, who effed up her family, her career, and her whole being. Sad.
First bad boy of R&B...but he still could do no wrong music wise...sing, rap and dance just gifted.
R'n'B thug
Human Nature no the first bad boy of r&b would be David Ruffin
I think David Ruffin is the first bad boy of r&b BUT we can still give that title to Bobby ❤️❤️
Don't forget about Rick James "SupaFreak"...but yeah Bobby was bad!
NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE TRUTH
People forget that Bobby owned the game for a minute...
Lacy Anne lets see how you look after 26 years
He was the shit. All the girls in my elementary school were drooling over him back in the 80s
he still does haha
Yeah, then he released that bloody Humpin' Around...
Lacy Anne Don't be cruel.......He's in his late 40's now...We all get older....
Happy 56th birthday Bobby Brown🎉🎂🎁🎈🥳❤🎤🎼🎹🎊.
Shout out to those who got to enjoy the song when it first came out! This will forever be a classic.

Still Listening! This was the Best of Times! He and George Michael Dominated the charts. Best of RNB Ever from the Both of them. Real music without all the extra distractions. George is Truly missed because he had a Beautiful voice and helped bring RnB back to rhe forefront. Thank God we Still have Bobby!❤. It's kind of funny, nobody called George " White Soul".

Now it’s bang in 2k21
This single version is excellent, but the album version, with the Cruel Prelude, is brilliant. The production is otherworldly and Bobby Brown's performance is perfection.
L.A Reid and Babyface of La Face productions created a banger with this one...Brown was speaking of Janet Jackson in the rap...
Guess you maybe a very big fan of Bobby Brown
Bobby Brown defined the late eighties and nineties. He was so multi talented. He could rap,sing and dance. I loved the video every little step because it showcased his dancing skill watching him dance was mesmerizing. He doesn't get the credit he deserves because his personal life has overshadowed his talent. My teenage yr
would not have been the same without him. Thanks Bobby for those fun summer times grooving and dancing to your music.
That was the media's fault for letting his personal life overshadow his legacy. When the Osborne's were being wild, they were praised but corporate media created a narrative of derision for Bobby and Whitney but always respected wyte trainwrecks regardless of the depths of their pathologies.
I'm just now really hearing this song, damn this song dope.
The bass synth is slamming in this song
Every little step 💯✨️💣 🙌🏾
He defined the late 80s. By '93 Bobby was completely washed. He didn't adapt to the times like some of his peers. A shame as he should've been cleaning up during that mid-90s Hip-Hop/Soul era. I see people blaming "the media", that's nonsense. Bobby had it all and he literally p1ssed it away.

The world was a much happier place with LA & Babyface....and Jimmi Jam/Terry Lewis.
Don't forget guy groove me 1988. Teddy started the new Jack swing era in the mid to late 80s
@@demetriusjones9350 don't forget jam & Lewis helped to form the genre when they produced Janet's album control. Teddy Riley helped to smooth the industrial pop sound of control into what is now called new jack swing.
Correct Kevin, RnB ruled
Love it :)♡
I am so glad I was raised in this era. Everything was best in the 80s and 90s.
Yes, it really was!!! The "information super highway" kids just don't know! That was life back then! )

Truth
That's why I'm working on a time machine. Just a couple more items needed and it should be ready by October.
When Bobby Brown broke away from New Edition a lot of naysayers weren’t sure he could make it on his own but he showed out and then some. He had a stronghold on the R&B arena at one time. He was that dude.
He was and is❤
Bobby was Bobby in his youthful days. Oh my, what happened to music today? Who cursed the industry?
That Bassline is addictive
This generation has definitely missed out of this kind of talent during there time. My goodness
James Brown, Bobby Brown, Chris Brown!
The fact for any artist to hang with Michael Jackson, Prince, and more is a talent of its own

He was the most successful after leaving New Edition.
tilly willie Depends on what your definition of success is. He sold more records during his solo career. Yet, to this day Michael Bivins is worth more than all of them. That's what learning the business gets you. He doesn't sell records but he doesn't have to...he is a producer and makes money from his artists. I would rather be 2017 Michael Bivins than 1990 Bobby Brown any day.

+Lashaun Holt yep
He really was so talented. Dancing , singing and being cool. No one better at that time.
He had 'swagger' when the word hadn't been invented yet!
As a British born Nigerian I can remember this was played at every Nigerian party from 88-93.
Thanks boby this years good music
Don’t Be Cruel was a LANDMARK ALBUM
He was on the moon with this🌜
There was Thriller. There was Janet with Nasty...Then there was Don't be cruel....three songs that changed music.
All five singles released from the album were top 10 singles
The album dominated the R&B and the pop charts.
@Kevin Payton spent 6 weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200. Best selling album of 1989
These songs are a constant reminder of what was a good night out and the world being a better place and a shock of how the world isn't getting any better. Those 80s and 90s were the last real good days and I count myself fortunate enough to have been part of it.
You're absolutely right. I'm 54 and I think the same. 80s and 90s were the shit!! 2000 was lit too. Once 2001 came everything changed for the worst. Times are so, so terrible now. I sure miss those old days and that world.
Usher always says this album was his inspiration, you can totally see it! Usher first album is literally no less Puffy remaking his idol Teddy Riley and Usher doing Bobby. Good stuff
Facts
Yeah Usher and Bobby got in a argument in the club before. I'm pretty sure Usher ended up hitting him too even though they were friends and he looked up to Bobby lol.
Yup. My Way is a really good album.
Bobby was the triple threat. Sing, dance AND rap!!
Still one of the best hip hop, dance beats ever
This is R&B
gui banks You say tomato...
+cityofchamps66 and i say cheetos
***** true
+gui banks You and +cityofchamps66 are both right. This is new jack swing: R&B vocals and progressions/melodies and hip hop production and raps. Bobby sung and rapped in the same song, which was really unique at the time.
That intro notes give me chills...
Always. So fresh !
Me too and ths is 2022
Yaassss, best part! The whole album is one of my all time favorites....ahh, the memories...
Bobby needs a tribute because he is definitely music history of great artists regardless of who he is today and even today he's still performing with New Edition another part of R&b best male groups in musical history . I think Chris Brown and Usher would make a great tribute for Bobby because both would do a great job but Chris would kill the Bobby dance moves better.
He's being inducted into the R & B Hall of Fame on August 21.
J May Great! He should but watch this generation of younger ppl be hating acting like he doesnt deserve it and play him like he wasn't the shit back then try to downplay him.
+Fly Nina The man was on top of the world then. Regardless of the negative that has happened, his contribution to music, R & B music to be specific, both with New Edition and solo, cannot be denied. Yes, the younger generation clown him and dog him for his past because they don't know or care to know his music, but real talk, R & B and, even, hip hop would not be the same without this man. I believe that.
K Desh yesss I couldn't agree with you more ️ ☺️💪🤘😛 👅 & 👧 👦 👧 😍 ❤️ ️ 😍 😍 ❤️ 😍 .... but wen it comes to the rapping session of his songs I will have to go with my brother another mother Chris Breezy love you even more dope if Usher add lives in the background while he's rapping.... All they need is to do it right LOL!
J May ... word and and to think I was one of the people that used to say negative things about him when I was young ️ ☹️ 💔 😡🖐👎 and dumb Bobby Brown is one of the best that ever did it hands down... does all the industry does the people though... Smdh they just💨💨💨 to you and on there way with you look at what they did to that man's life... r i p to Whitney Houston cuz she had a beautiful voice too
Bobby had the music industry by the balls once

This song plays in GTA San Andreas
Pure gold
take me to that club mannnn😍😍😍
i cant see Ralph having the same success even he wouldve dropped his solo effort first. Bobby was simply THAT GUY. Loads of charisma
Willie Booth Exactly, the Gift rested on Bobby!
Politely disagree. Ralph was basically the NE lead vocalist so he's forever linked with the group. So going solo isn't gonna feel right. Look at BBD no one expected them to get that much success but they were new & fresh because they hadn't been heard much in NE yet they still had that NE appeal. Besides Bobby had that bad boy appeal & getting voted out of the band was mass appealing.
Ralph could never come close to Bobby B why'd you think he kicked out of New Edition
Ralph needed to be the Dream. If u listen to the dreams song that is completely where Ralph coulda blew up and the dream.. he woulda Been a great new edition member
When people have talent and are held down , this happens. It's kind of like poetic justice
Man B.Brown started this new badboy R&B then came R.Kelly..Usher..Chris Brown..etc..

He paying homage to Thriller, friend.
Yes I thought the same, looks like Micheal Jackson's clips
Love his music still! This beat and Melody is still HOT!!!
One of the greatest albums of all time
this guy is amazing he is so under ratted.
Jake Miles.
Gloria Harris huh?
Jake Miles underrated? not really... dude was extremely popular back between 1988-1992, he fucked it all up.
Damn right he was under ratted... They didn't snitch on him
Polish Sausage I don't think people give him the credit he is so as a performer, especially considering how influential he was in his time. I feel like people have forgotten about him.
Saw Bobby in concert in 89 and he killed it!!!
I was at the Humpin Arpund Concert Houston Tx..92
What bobby said don't be cruel because I would never be cruel to you 🤷🏾♂️❗
Today is the 30th anniversary of Don't Be Cruel!
Bobby was only 19 here and became a superstar in his own right, even bigger than New Edition although they was also at their peak in 88. Salute to both Dont be cruel and NE heartbreak sold stupid millions between them
there will never be another bobby brown, regardless of his life, we are left with bangers and memories
Still listening in 2021… one of my favorite songs of Bobby… God! I miss this era😔.. nowadays so much Damn garbage on the radio..it’s sickening!
Bro is still one of my favorite singers / performers of all-time.
*When Bobby Brown & New Edition both reinvented themselves in 1988, R&B was never the same. Bobby ended up having the biggest album of 1989 & New Edition, after having a successful album with Heartbreak in their own right, also became solo stars & a superstar trio that impacted the greatest decade of music in 1990.*
Johnny gil- my my my/ the floor
Ralph tresvant - sensitivity
- bell biv devoe - poison etc
"With a bad attitude I can't compete".Bobby was the bomb in 1988 when this album came out he could do it all New Edition replaced him with Johnny Gill
They're from Boston. New Edition/Bobby Brown are wicked smart. :)
Those were the days , indeed🙏🏽
@@powerglory736 man they all came out swinging and dropping some classics that still rock today! 1988-1992 NE members had the R&B game in a chokehold.
June 20, 1988 Don't Be Cruel album was released. Bobby was 19. This album changed the playing field for the New Jack Swing genre.
June 21st actually. Same Tuesday as N.E. Heartbreak.
Don't Be Cruel and N.E Heartbreak were released on Tuesday June 21,1988 on MCA Records.
@@plawson8577 both great albums. Game changers.
This album what a crisp sound. The internet does not do it justice. A true masterpiece of an album(CD)
This needs to be on a record player, tape, or CD. On some big a$$ 80s speakers.
Bruh the 80's, off the meter, Zapp, Gap, MJ, Prince, Janet, Luther, Teddy P, Morris & the Time, Guy, Keith Sweat, EWF, The Isley Brothers, Frankie Beverly Maze, Rick James, I know we missed a few, bring back this era that's how you Make America Great Again.
I'm still listening to Bobby Brown in 2018. The 80's & 90's music will never get old 2 me no expiration date on good music like this
The music for my generation brings me back to high school
