Especially VOCALLY...They were kinda overshadowed by B2K...Because even though B5 was the better group "vocally"...B2K just had the bigger records. But B5 could KILL an acapella off the rip...lol
@@jadaess01 all facts!! Loved B2k but they couldn’t dance OR sing better than B5. B5 just needed bigger songs that impacted more. What’s crazy is that all of them in B5 can dance, the weakest link as far as dancers in Bryan but he sings his ass off so there’s that. With that being said B5 fan for life
@@jadaess01 I don't understand, your comment with the whole B2K. B2K came out way before B5 so how did B2K overshadowed B5 ? I'm just confused, B2k group ended in 2004 so B5 had overshawowed B2K during my time they were way more popular.
Ray practically hosted a Masterclass. This was so beautiful to listen to and watch. I loved every second of it. Happy to see B5 on here. I’ve loved them since they came onto the scene.
This interview was a business meeting! I loved every minute of it! I also loved when Ray made a correction of the mics in the beginning. It showed me he doesn’t care about perfection, he cares about realness. Love me some B5!
I've been saying for years that B5 should have been way bigger! They're too talented not to be! They were terribly mismanaged. This interview was amazing and this is the advice that they've been needing! I never stopped playing their music and always kept up with them! My teen daughter is also a fan now. They still have it and I love that they're getting more shine lately! Excited to continue seeing their growth!
Ray this was one of the realest interviews I’ve ever seen! Brother please keep it up! B5 my nephews I love you Ray gave you guys solid jewels! Some of which you already knew but to have someone reiterate just makes it Real ❤
Right when Ray mentioned that they still look like stars ✨ so true! Always thought they still look the way they always have - they be lookin good!!!! Such a good interview!
Two months later and I’m still thinking of the NYC show🥺 it was truly an experience. I can’t wait to see what’s next for B5. So much talent and terribly underrated
Yayy! B5 on a podcast! Getting to see the brothers in a new dimension is refreshing! I am so proud of these brothers! Their story reminds me of mine! I’ve been slept on for a minute and been trying my best to whither these storms and setbacks but when you are TALENTED you don’t let up! You overcome the minor setbacks for that major comeback! They’ve got sold out shows! Clapping for y’all! Let’s get it B5! 💫🚀🚀🚀
44:38 I don’t wanna sound ageist but I’ve always said that youth is B5’s biggest advantage. They’re the only ones out of their peers who don’t look like uncles! If I didn’t know them I would’ve thought they were a Gen Z group. And this is such a plus because it means that they can market to younger generations without coming across as “corny”. Many other legacy acts are limited because they do not have that same youthful appeal.
AND their image is very professional. They learned that from their family and Disney censorship. It paid off and they stuck to it unlike other artists. Not saying they are PG but they not out here wildin
My coworker saw my pics of me at one of their shows this weekend with Patrick and he jokingly asked me "what were you doing with that young boy?" 😂 They do look great! I love them so much! They are full of vibrance! 🙌🏽☀️
You're absolutely right bc some ppl who react to their new music videos here on RUclips thought they were a new group, bc they had never seen them before and they look v young.
I love B5. And what I love the most about the B5 is how close they are as a family. A real family and how wonderful their Mother and their Aunts was to care for their cousin. And how they treated him like a brother. This is how a real family should be. My God keep blessing you and my you never change. And always remember the love that you have for one another. And please don't let money or fame or power change you. And always keep it real. My God bless you B5 and your family.
Watching this after seeing them live for the first time. Is so much love 💛 they are purely organic, you can see their hard work and dedication. It was sad that Kelly wasn't able to perform but they still held the show down! And God bless you Kelly for coming out to say Hi 💯 sorry we asked you to get up, wish someone was there taking care of you. GOD BLESS B5!!! 💋💋💋🥰💋💋💋😘
I like the advice you gave them about different ways to connect with their fans. I listen to music from around the world and that’s how most boy bands do it nowadays. Especially in the K-pop industry before they became more popular. They just don’t do music but they also do a lot of meet and greets, cooking show, fan calls, live performances, random vlogs, song covers etc. it helps build a strong connections with the fans.
Those were the days. Hitting up my girl on MSN, changing my MySpace background and the music player. Chris brown came out as well. Pretty Ricky in the background, and ofcourse B5, wow what a time that was to be alive!
Let me just say this…I’ve been a fan since I was about 8 and have waited so long to be able to see them in concert. Saw them 9/28 in Chicago and babyyyy my lil heart couldn’t be more happy!😭😭 They put in the work and it shows! They can absolutely perform their ass off- and don’t even get me started on the vocals! Didn’t miss not one beat or a note man. Also, they are so incredibly humble and sweet ! I absolutely cannot wait to see them again…definitely a B5 fan for life 😊🧡 Love y’all !
Love Love love every minute of this pod!! Absolutely amazing!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 🔥🔥🔥 Almost made me cry, all the love & game B5 was receiving from Ray. Ray does an amazing job! Praying B5 gets everything they deserve. With people like Ray in their corner, they WILL win 🏆 💪 💯
not to be dramatic but i’m sooooo depressed i missed their show in boston last week 😢 ill never forget the impact their music had in my life growing up! i remember watching mtv my sweet 16 how they would pop up to girls parties and just wishingggggg they would come to lil ol’ brockton, ma 😅. im talking i had EVERY poster, EVERY cd, i watched EVERYTHING B5 there was no bigger fan than im telling you!!! if they see this msg pleaseeeeeee come back to boston or ct or RI i love you guys!!!! thank you for not giving up your preseverence is inspiring❤
Hey cousins, keep grinding, STAY PROFESSIONAL, stay balanced. Proud of you all from the days of St. Pete beach shows to now. "The cream always rises to the top."
I love that they're still together. I remember when 'All I Do' came out and 'U Got Me' but what have they done after 2007 ? They released a single every 5 years, no album, no EP. How do they make a living exactly ? How do they make money and pay bills ?
Everyone answered their questions and they were respectful. They are reflective. No r&b groups can come together and sit through an interview. It's sad how Bad Boy Ent never put effort in pushing B5. I felt like they picked the wrong label but it was what it was. They are still here. It would be great for them to team up with Bow Wow or Chris Brown do songs with other artists in the industry. B5 was a huge!! I was hoping B5 and ATL do a song together. They should release a B5 documentary. I hope they all take in the advice Ray gave them. PR vibes!!! I'm excited for B5 because of this interview. lol. B5 don't need to do the old boys. They can come back as men and release new songs and videos. Go extreme. Work with Janet Jackson. etc. Work with folks who are in popular or is currently touring. The host were right, not many groups come back looking healthy and can perform again.
This was still great, I won’t lie, can we talk to B5 without bringing up diddy there’s so much more to them as individuals & as a group. Let’s gather new questions please 😭 I love all them down bad & equally! #dayonefan
This is a very good video. I can definitely see 100% Patrick admires MJ 🙌🏽🫶🏽 And I agree that it can be a good thing for B5 to connect with audiences through social media. They are amazing dancers. They will definitely attract a loyal crowd. I'm a day one fan. 😊💗
While Patrick was influenced by Michael Jackson, he has molded that influence into his own unique style, and you can especially see that with his "All Night" single. So I disagree with Ray on that point alone that Patrick needs to abandon the whole Michael Jackson thing. He doesn’t need to do anything; he’s already evolved into his own thing.
Bad Boy sucked. CLEARLY their first single should’ve been “dance for you.” It was an original song, high energy, and the choreography was fire. And the 2nd single should’ve been “heartbreak” for its originality. I feel their success would’ve been different had bad boy started them off right. And then to end the 2nd album run without releasing “all over again”?? Bruh c’mon
Thank you Ray for doing what Most* interviewers dont do- give advice AND guidance! B5 came out during the trnsition of technology (& horrible label management) & has to basically start over for this new generation and thats ok🤎
I ALWAYS felt that B5 was the most talented group in their class, even over B2K (because B2K didn't have vocals like that, hell, they didn't have any..lol! They lipsynced thru their entire career and Boog pretty much confirmed what I had been sayin all along). They didn't sing/harmonize on their songs. They used other singers aside from Omarion (who wasn't even the best vocalist but he did enough for B2K to stay above water). But B5 just didn't have the big monster records like B2K had. I also feel that Diddy wasn't the best person to sign with because he didn't push B5 further along with the talent they had. They would have been better signing with someone like JD. But Diddy wasn't it. But glad too see that they never stopped working on their craft.
I thoroughly enjoyed this so much that I listened a few times. The advice Ray gave was solid and especially the part about being men. Now while they speak of New Edition covers, "You Don't Have To Worry" or "Try Again" would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Even "Shop Around". The Home Again album never gets the credit it deserves. A nice little EP with some reimaginings plus a bonus new song or two would be 🔥🔥🔥. And the irony of New Edition's "One Love" album being what delayed the first album and later Day26 being chosen TWO WEEKS before their second one came out in tandem with the Kanye vs 50 release rubs me the wrong way in hindsight. It's as if he never truly committed to their success fully.
NE did it we knew they played basketball, Bobby was the bad boy ladies man, Ralph was the crooner, Ronnie was the best smoothest dancer, Ricky with the vocals, Mike was stop and talk to you, Johnny will take you to church yes this man is right!!!!
I never want to shit on these guys as a "day 1" fan. They put in so much work without the credit. But don't talk about "consistency" without mentioning where Carnell is. Don't even have to put all his business out there. Just not bringing him up, made it seem like he left the group. I love what they said about "Magnetic." I think the video was cheap, the song was only okay, but the dancing was some of the best I've seen of this generation. At a Chris Brown and Ciara level, if not higher. Maybe not everyone sings or raps. But the dance level is equal in ALL 5 of them in that in general. THAT is not something you see a lot. And still got it 💯. They took them out for New Edition for them to not do nothing. I need a video for "DEEP."
B5 is criminally underrated
Especially VOCALLY...They were kinda overshadowed by B2K...Because even though B5 was the better group "vocally"...B2K just had the bigger records. But B5 could KILL an acapella off the rip...lol

Severely underrated! Who at their age can choreograph, sing and stay on beat all in one? God's given talent can't be taken away!! 🙏🏾
Diddy did them so dirty but they will rise, they already are 🙏🏻
Ray practically hosted a Masterclass. This was so beautiful to listen to and watch. I loved every second of it. Happy to see B5 on here. I’ve loved them since they came onto the scene.
This interview was a business meeting! I loved every minute of it! I also loved when Ray made a correction of the mics in the beginning. It showed me he doesn’t care about perfection, he cares about realness. Love me some B5!
Exactly! He should be their PR.
Kellz is always quiet but when he talks he says some real shit
I've been saying for years that B5 should have been way bigger! They're too talented not to be! They were terribly mismanaged. This interview was amazing and this is the advice that they've been needing! I never stopped playing their music and always kept up with them! My teen daughter is also a fan now. They still have it and I love that they're getting more shine lately! Excited to continue seeing their growth!
Ray this was one of the realest interviews I’ve ever seen! Brother please keep it up! B5 my nephews I love you Ray gave you guys solid jewels! Some of which you already knew but to have someone reiterate just makes it Real ❤
I had the pleasure of meeting B5 on September 7th in Philly these men are so humble and down to earth and the show was amazing I had a wonderful time.
Damn I'm mad I missed it. Tryna see them for Nov. 22 show
Right when Ray mentioned that they still look like stars ✨ so true! Always thought they still look the way they always have - they be lookin good!!!! Such a good interview!
Two months later and I’m still thinking of the NYC show🥺 it was truly an experience. I can’t wait to see what’s next for B5. So much talent and terribly underrated
I loved y'all since I was 12 ❤️❤️😍🥰
Artist development comes down to character development. So powerful! Love that
Yayy! B5 on a podcast! Getting to see the brothers in a new dimension is refreshing! I am so proud of these brothers! Their story reminds me of mine! I’ve been slept on for a minute and been trying my best to whither these storms and setbacks but when you are TALENTED you don’t let up! You overcome the minor setbacks for that major comeback! They’ve got sold out shows! Clapping for y’all! Let’s get it B5! 💫🚀🚀🚀
This was a public mentoring session for B5! Excellent 👏👏
They absolutely deserve so much more recognition. Been a Day 1 since 2006 anything they drop, ima pick up!!! God bless you guys!
44:38 I don’t wanna sound ageist but I’ve always said that youth is B5’s biggest advantage. They’re the only ones out of their peers who don’t look like uncles! If I didn’t know them I would’ve thought they were a Gen Z group. And this is such a plus because it means that they can market to younger generations without coming across as “corny”. Many other legacy acts are limited because they do not have that same youthful appeal.
AND their image is very professional. They learned that from their family and Disney censorship. It paid off and they stuck to it unlike other artists. Not saying they are PG but they not out here wildin
@eyesonthebeach I agree 100%. So respectable. Grown men for sure, but professional
My coworker saw my pics of me at one of their shows this weekend with Patrick and he jokingly asked me "what were you doing with that young boy?" 😂 They do look great! I love them so much! They are full of vibrance! 🙌🏽☀️
You're absolutely right bc some ppl who react to their new music videos here on RUclips thought they were a new group, bc they had never seen them before and they look v young.
Real descent, and humble dude. I wish I knew him personally. He's got ideas I never thought of. Not an artist but still got a lot from his knowledge.
Their fashion definitely look futuristic as well.
I love B5. And what I love the most about the B5 is how close they are as a family. A real family and how wonderful their Mother and their Aunts was to care for their cousin. And how they treated him like a brother. This is how a real family should be. My God keep blessing you and my you never change. And always remember the love that you have for one another. And please don't let money or fame or power change you. And always keep it real. My God bless you B5 and your family.
Ray you be dropping jewels , you can tell you wanna see ppl win 👏🏾🌎☄️🦅
Things feel different for B5 this time. It’s so crazy because when it’s really your time, it’s your time and their time is now.
Watching this after seeing them live for the first time. Is so much love 💛 they are purely organic, you can see their hard work and dedication. It was sad that Kelly wasn't able to perform but they still held the show down! And God bless you Kelly for coming out to say Hi 💯 sorry we asked you to get up, wish someone was there taking care of you. GOD BLESS B5!!! 💋💋💋🥰💋💋💋😘

It's all about building community who will ride with you longterm.
Ray wasn’t too happy about the technical difficulties but in glad he kept it in cuz it shows the process
Bryan is so articulate, I love it!!!
Those were the days. Hitting up my girl on MSN, changing my MySpace background and the music player. Chris brown came out as well. Pretty Ricky in the background, and ofcourse B5, wow what a time that was to be alive!

I'm glad Ray gave him this advice, this is literally blueprint
Everything coming to the light. EVERYONE IS SPEAKING OUT
I love this interview it was a business meeting hopefully yall do another interview in 2025 i love this interview

I agree.... they talked business the ins and outs and he gave them they're flowers for sure...
I went craazy when "Give it Back" dropped, but this interview has made me so much more excited about what's to come.
Love Love love every minute of this pod!! Absolutely amazing!!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 🔥🔥🔥 Almost made me cry, all the love & game B5 was receiving from Ray. Ray does an amazing job! Praying B5 gets everything they deserve. With people like Ray in their corner, they WILL win
🏆 💪 💯
Dustin always takes off his shirt but Brian definitely needs too!!!
Where is Carnell?
Damn Ray! I need gems for my business/career 👀 . I’m not in music but this can translate to design!
not to be dramatic but i’m sooooo depressed i missed their show in boston last week 😢 ill never forget the impact their music had in my life growing up! i remember watching mtv my sweet 16 how they would pop up to girls parties and just wishingggggg they would come to lil ol’ brockton, ma 😅. im talking i had EVERY poster, EVERY cd, i watched EVERYTHING B5 there was no bigger fan than im telling you!!! if they see this msg pleaseeeeeee come back to boston or ct or RI

I looovvvveee me some B5
B5 is awesome group

Amazing interview! great advice and insight. Looking forward to this new journey B5! 🔥💕
Thanks for tuning in and love to B5 for swinging by the studio.
I want them to win so bad
Then support them.
I love this for them! I want to see the OMG Girlz on this show.
Everything that was said I agree with! All the ideas. Because we too want to see them win!
I like the manage yourself movement! Get the numbers yourself ✅
B5 been them guys!!!!!!!!! Stop playing with them. 😂❤ #bittiegang
I feel like I could implement this as well for myself!!!! I loved this interview.
I can’t wait to see their growth. Shit I’ve been waiting for them!!!
Hey cousins, keep grinding, STAY PROFESSIONAL, stay balanced. Proud of you all from the days of St. Pete beach shows to now. "The cream always rises to the top."
B5 ❤ this was a great interview 🤗
I’ve been waiting for this masterclass👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Ray always teased this what he did but damn I see now . This MoFo done motivated me 🤩
I love that they're still together. I remember when 'All I Do' came out and 'U Got Me' but what have they done after 2007 ? They released a single every 5 years, no album, no EP. How do they make a living exactly ? How do they make money and pay bills ?
They have an EP coming out on January 1, 2025.
Probably touring and merch

They was singing love sounds from the beginning "all I do" so these men gotta do that sh*t again for these Gen Z ladies. Honor them. ❤❤❤
This was still great, I won’t lie, can we talk to B5 without bringing up diddy there’s so much more to them as individuals & as a group. Let’s gather new questions please 😭 I love all them down bad & equally! #dayonefan
Diddy is what's going to bring the views.
Bryan really wanted to shine in this interview, bro wanted his own mic.
Dustin is fineeeeee! OMG 😍🥰😝
B5 is legendary !
No tf they’re not 😂
@@user-tk7rl6hw6cyes tf they are lol
I grew up with them ❤ I’m glad they are doing great 👍🏾
Wow I didn’t know they got signed back in 2001 that’s insane
@BugQuarterman-g2wlisten
This was so great!!!
diddy signed them and they didn't get to put out album until 4 years later! that's crazy puffy is fucked up for that
ray daniels is in his bag
This is a very good video. I can definitely see 100% Patrick admires MJ 🙌🏽🫶🏽 And I agree that it can be a good thing for B5 to connect with audiences through social media. They are amazing dancers. They will definitely attract a loyal crowd. I'm a day one fan. 😊💗
Glad you dug it!
This was such a great interview
thank you!!!
B5 my bruddas
Omg Patrick is still fine 😍😍😍

So I disagree with Ray on that point alone that Patrick needs to abandon the whole Michael Jackson thing. He doesn’t need to do anything; he’s already evolved into his own thing.
He gave some good advice!
Thank you!!
B5 drops a single every 3 years lol
No one can tell you when your done ✅ facts
Give it Back is still on repeat! 💙🫶🏽

Of course!
Love you guys && Hi CARNELL 🤷🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️🤨🎀🌸
I thoroughly enjoyed this so much that I listened a few times. The advice Ray gave was solid and especially the part about being men.
Now while they speak of New Edition covers, "You Don't Have To Worry" or "Try Again" would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Even "Shop Around". The Home Again album never gets the credit it deserves. A nice little EP with some reimaginings plus a bonus new song or two would be 🔥🔥🔥.

Where the hell is Carnell? Did i miss that part?
They should get an astrologer find the perfect dates to drop etc
NE did it we knew they played basketball, Bobby was the bad boy ladies man, Ralph was the crooner, Ronnie was the best smoothest dancer, Ricky with the vocals, Mike was stop and talk to you, Johnny will take you to church yes this man is right!!!!
Hey just went to ITunes give it back is a single we need an album
They have an EP dropping Jan. 1
Inspiration
Was into this until you started telling them what to do and telling them what they are and not. These young men are fine artists.
Make sure y’all get tickets to their city winery tour
DO IT!
I felt like I was the room
Lets goooo
I never want to shit on these guys as a "day 1" fan. They put in so much work without the credit. But don't talk about "consistency" without mentioning where Carnell is.

You need to manage them at this point lol
Where is carnelll
42:00 I dropped this same information on their IG page literally.. I want my own 20%!!!
😭
💎💎💎🎯🙌💯
Love every b5 interviews sinc 2019. But it seems they could not have say in anything when it comes to diddy and bad boy
💎
I hope Diddy didn’t do anything perverted to them.
❤❤❤
my conspiracy theory is diddy had B5 locked in the basement and they just escaped to make their comeback
Where is my favorite Carnell❤❤
Carnell?😢
