New Edition didn't portray him as a bully, they just said he played/sonned them, they even admitted to being fan's of Kurtis Blow and was star struck when the incident occurred.... And sadly I believe them, cause I never forgot how Shaq acted towards a friend of mine when we were like 12... I was too cool to ask for a autograph, but my buddy obviously wasn't to proud to beg, and Shaq told him he would throw him over the rail if he and a group of other kids we didn't know, didn't stop bothering him..... It was 1993 downtown/tower city Cleveland Ohio.. We laugh at it now, and really didn't cry about it at the time, but as kid's there's certain shit that happens that you'll never forget. And I'll put my life savings on my buddy vs Shaq today, dude is about 6ft5-6ft6 260 and has been wrestling since we were kids, and he's dibbled and dabbled in MMA! 😩🤣🤣🤣✌🏿
@@okachobired5856 Bro it was the early 80's lol. That weak ass technology coupled with Whitney's unbelievable vocal range??!!! I completely believe she fucked up the equipment. She might not have set the speakers on fire but I'm certain she pushed past the limits of their recording equipment.
@@maggmaxxx Weak ass technology? At that level anyone with a studio had a high end studio. Those speakers can handle a human voice. The only thing breaking a speaker is excessive bass at a very high volume. A DJ sound system will blow before a studio speaker system. 80's or otherwise. Most likely an amp had blown or some other electronics but don't say it was because of her high notes.
@@okachobired5856 ok. I respect your opinion. I lend more credibility to Kurtis Blow though because he was there and the part in the song that is very distorted aligns with his story, as does everything else.
Word! Even though I can't remember like my Moms and Aunties I still was a Prince and Whitney fan and Moms gave me all Prince vinyl records she had when I was in HS in the late 90's but that Whitney story hit different. I grew up in Newark and remember going to church as a kid with her and her fam. Me and my older brother even went to school with some of her younger cousins.
Yoo that King Holiday record had so many classic acts on it. New Edition and Menudo was on that record. Ironically Whitney Houston and Stacy Lattisaw was on there but no Bobby Brown or Johnny Gil LOL. I think Prince paid for the video cause he was left off We Are the World. He wanted be apart of something big, even without being on the record, he fronted the video. Dope stories.
Jan 1986' The King Holiday charity song was on my TV and my eyes was glued to every artist that sung it BET was the first channel that aired the video on Video Soul Kurtis I didn't like the shade towards New Edition plus they was in the movie Krush Groove with you
That was 80's .Kurtis the first rapper to crossover to I think go gold started around 79/80. Those moments he talk about early 80's. Salute to 90's era too
Per the New Edition movie when he was asked by the promoter to go on first and allow New Edition to go last he refused, talking about he was the king of New York even though New Edition had the hottest song out in Candy Girl which was #1 on Billboard ahead of Beat It by Michael Jackson. Plus New Edition had sold out every show on the east coast.
Didnt really elaborate on the new edition situation but kids never forget violation so staying with new edition on that 1.
Kurtis Blow probably didn't bullie New Edition but he was definitely hating on them 😂🤣😂🤣
Right! He son them for sure😂😂😂
He was hating on them New Edition took the number one spot 😂
Why qould he be hating on some rnb kids tho. They not rappers lol
@@nlee4566 new edition was in the rap spaces. They were on the rap tours and also in krush grroove...

Prince probably loved the fact people had an idea during that time to even consider using money

And now I gotta go listen to the Dr. King song!!!!!! Whitney Houston broke the studio with her voice!!!!
Me too!☺️
Yea I highly doubt her voice broke the speakers. When you hear a story from a storyteller things get embellished

Love Prince✌
Never saw Curt as just a rapper to me he was a true musician.

Kurtis I didn't like the shade towards New Edition plus they was in the movie Krush Groove with you
If watch a few these Curtis Blow clips you see Curt was kind of a hater
90s era was lit new stories up now
That was 80's .Kurtis the first rapper to crossover to I think go gold started around 79/80. Those moments he talk about early 80's. Salute to 90's era too
Hes a 80s rap star by the 90s he was a LEGEND already!
Minneapolis been repping forever
