I'm 40 years old and these guys could tour today and I would be there. I feel sooooooo sorry for these young kids today that will never experience anything remotely close to this.
R.I.P Rick James a fuckn legend! The stories about him are timeless please continue to have all ages of legends on this show. These stories need to be told
RIP to Rick James, hearing this and other stories about him just puts things in a better perspective.. And explains why he felt like everyone turned their backs on him, when he was at his lowest. I've heard that Rick was generous, and if he rocked with you it showed, I've also heard Rick was difficult at times to deal with. Overall it's just dope to hear people give the brother his juss-due, instead of constantly making him the butt of every joke. Cause he definitely was someone to somebody!
Back in those days and back artist stuck together. The ones that blew and handled their business properly would school the guys that didn't. They would break each other off while you got your paperwork right
Please understand, this man Mike, went on to be a MAJOR business man!!! He learned the hard lessons from the adults that failed him as a youth in business, and became a giant in the industry. Created mega groups like Boys II men and others.
Rick was a beast... another gone too soon, but was a major playa in the late 70s, and needs more credit for his contributions. This current generation doesn't know enough about him
Math I am ENJOYING watching all of the interviews with beloved Mike Bivens on LISTENING and LEARNING THE BUSINESS. Kudos to Mike for not letting interjections interrupt his thought process during the interview and how Mike was paying homepage to his beloved Producer Rico, New Editions Manager(discipline to hone their craft , the Attorney(s), beloved Jam Master Jay, Rick James . I enjoyed one of their " Best Tours on Landover, Maryland ❤️! " Love you beloved Math Hoffa for the EXPERT Opinions.!
This is how you create Hip Hop history. You bring the people that can tell the story know else can. So glad we are starting to get a glimpse into a new era of Black History. Salute!!!!
Yo math thank u bro for this iconic interview with the living legend Mike Biv. This brotha has been business minded, swagged out, and trend setter since forever. Much respect n peace n blessings.
I've been a Rick James fan since I was a kid. Always loved his music, writing, singing, arrangements, and production. I never knew he was connected to and influential with N.E. This was a dope segment. Salute to Mike, N.E., and definitely salute to Rick for being such a good dude.
Simply excellent! Genuine energy, no bs posturing, let's the guest speak so not to interrupt their train of thought, great story telling. The new blueprint.
On god this situation popped up in my head a few days ago about how they was fuked over, good to see Biv doing good now! And not too long ago I heard someone parked blasting New Edition in Manhattan lolz
Biv is a genius. He's always been business minded from a very young age and it paid off for him and the group. I really appreciate him and admire the friendship New Edition has maintained over 40 years. That is rare and we all should aspire to have that type of social connection.
$ 1.87 cents is crazy welp record company people are Shady. They Take advantage of the talent that don't know the business Shout out and RIP to Rick James
I’ve met a couple of NE members and they’re all cool and down to earth… very humble guys. I was shocked how cool they are… they don’t have that celebrity mindset just regular guys.
Great interview. I have the utmost respect! For New Edition. They had some ups and lows. But they still here making money together. Rick James! Was a real gentleman. R.I.P
They better put New Edition in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and give them the Kennedy Honors Award. There is absolutely no excuse for who ever is on the board to ignore this amazing group. Luv New Edition forever❤❤.
Rick James was an OG in Massachusetts his dad was a Judge but he was in the streets had a few bands & directed produced & took them under his wing. R.I.P. Rick James 👑🙏
Rick James was a real unsung hero. He bragged about himself but I don’t really remember him bragging about all of the things he’s received props for after his passing like how many ways he’s helped others outside of the actual music. He was a real one.
Excellent story! I saw Rick James when he came to Columbus on his Come Get it tour back when live bands was king he killed it! Then fired up a blunt! Of course CPD was waiting to arrest him he didn't come back till the L7 tour he's an R&B icon in his own lane and made stars of every artist he touched (Check Temptations standing on the top) New Edition are in the same vein except they are ICONS LIVING!
All my life homie since age 1 in '83...new edition been in the game..Mike biv is a true Boss with ABC..Boyz 2 Men etc..Salute real Bosses..ronnie..ricky..mike..Ralph..Big salute to the King of RnB..Bobby mf Brown
Og Biv My favorite out the group for reasons that are shown in this episode. Always humble smooth but stern I’m from the south where regardless of how old the music is, your people made you listen to it. Playing bones, riding in the car, cookin food, family celebration or reunions. Granny Auntie Unk nem gon play all the 80s 90s “Real music” People still playing CDs to jam Biv nem 😂😂
Rick James had that Buffalo love thy neighbor vibe and wanted to see everyone on top. The mindset that if I’m worth millions. Everyone that’s loyal to the movement should have at least a million.
Yo Math your interviews & guests are so dope it's hard to stay away. Mike Bivens looks like a point guard. I remember those Saturday Games in Basketball leagues & Tourneys 🙏
I’ll never forget the first time I heard Candy Girl on the radio I was a couple houses down the street in one of my childhood friend’s basement and I ran home and begged my aunt to please buy me the album but I don’t think the album was out yet but a couple months later she came home with the album and I played it ALL DAY and throughout the day and as much as I could during the night. I was 11 years old and in love and been in love with NE ever since. My cousins, and friends were too
For THE CULTURE!!!!!! I mean I am trying to figure out who is next.......non stop magic these past couple months. Mike is one of my favorites especially from a business perspective. Cheers
Kinda cool watching this guy talk off the cuff like this. That says a lot about NE’s professionalism and protection of their brand. He speaking candidly but it’s appropriate for the platform.
New Edition should be in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame already 💐
Truth!
Damn they not?😮😮😮😮
@@Slapyouwatchsame response here but they’re in our hall of fame already
Exactly 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Start the new edition period for hall of fame
I'm 40 years old and these guys could tour today and I would be there. I feel sooooooo sorry for these young kids today that will never experience anything remotely close to this.

No doubt. They just had a successful tour. I didn’t get to go tho
You would be there by yourself
It's good to hear that Rick James had a lot of love in his heart for other people.
he was an amazing person but the drugs mess the real you up
R.I.P Rick James a fuckn legend! The stories about him are timeless please continue to have all ages of legends on this show. These stories need to be told
No doubt indeed. The great Rick James
RIP to Rick James, hearing this and other stories about him just puts things in a better perspective..
And explains why he felt like everyone turned their backs on him, when he was at his lowest.
I've heard that Rick was generous, and if he rocked with you it showed, I've also heard Rick was difficult at times to deal with.
Overall it's just dope to hear people give the brother his juss-due, instead of constantly making him the butt of every joke.
Cause he definitely was someone to somebody!
Even though Rick blew plenty of money on his habit, when he died, he left his family very well off. He took care of his money and his business.
Back in those days and back artist stuck together. The ones that blew and handled their business properly would school the guys that didn't. They would break each other off while you got your paperwork right
Please understand, this man Mike, went on to be a MAJOR business man!!! He learned the hard lessons from the adults that failed him as a youth in business, and became a giant in the industry. Created mega groups like Boys II men and others.

Rick MOTHERFUCKIN James! I'm glad he looked out for them when they were youngins. It needs to be more of that!

From Mass with love.. Every 70s 80s kid from Mass know New Edition.
