    See…this is why I respect Biv & salute him.
    I met him once & he stopped & listened to me.
    I told him how I had been an NE fan since their 2nd album. He was mad humble, looked me in my eye & said thank you.
    A stand up dude. Probably the most authentic & down to earth star or individual I have ever met.
    Real talk.

      you trippin. They legends, but "All time" is an irresponsible statement that should not be made. To be honest, them cats don't have the respect they should have in their own community. Temptations, Jodeci, and N.E., and alot more all have more cred than B2M in the black community. Other groups that crossed over to pop could always come back, but they cant, they too far gone.

      @@damiexxi3163 Go back and read my post. "They are legends", but... they crossed over to success, but lost the audience they originally sang for. Michael Jackson is the king of pop, but its his J5 days that most people of color listen to. I'm not saying they are not right to maximize their potential and longevity, but if you cant go back home, are you really successful in the eyes of your peers? I'm not insinuating that those fellas are not black or they are sellouts, but they don't sing Mo Town Philly like they did before. Them cats more like the Everly Brothers or The Bee Gees to us, they cool but...you know.
