Like many others before this, I'm just gonna give BET major props for this, AND Viacom for mostly keeping their hands off of this. (They had to drop that Nashville/NE mash-up though...).Either way, I tuned into BET for the first time in many years because of this and it did not disappoint.

THIS is what we need to see on BET, not MTV nor VH1. I love, love, love when WE are able to tell our own stories. This is how the culture moves forward. I know some moments were somewhat watered down or left out, but the entire project was well-done. That I respect and after many years of personally boycotting BET, I give them a million props for doing this one right. They finally got these 5 dudes from Roxbury, MA and one from DC to agree to tell the real story, highs and lows, AND they agreed for the most part. Salute!!! Great product.

Now on to the next ones. Atlanta early-mid 90s.....Uptown/Bad Boy....Ruthless/Deathrow/Interscope....Minneapolis during the 80s and 90s....New Orleans mid-late 90s with No Limit & Cash Money....the Neo-Soul movement, from the UK to the USA that lasted for years and spawned many artists and classic music......so many stories that WE need to tell, before someone else claims it.

Glad they stuck to the story being about New Edition and not venturing into Bobby & Whitney or anything outside of the group dynamic. That's another movie for another time. Very well done and something I know I'll watch again and again.

Wish they went this route with Biggie and the upcoming Pac movie. A 2 hour movie just ain't enough especially for Pac. There's so much material to borrow from to give his story it's proper due.

This BET 25th anniversary performance is pretty accurate.


Edit:not pretty accurate. It is exactly what they did.

Brehs this was really top tier I already in mind put this above the Jackson's movie and four heartbeats movie had perfect blend of fukkery seriousness and music imao this is behind the temptations

 

[David_TheMan]

Its a classic.
Without the commercials this is probably a 2hr 50 movie max. LOL
That said went through ll the eras pretty well, only fukk up was the ending was rushed and I don't think they did enough to show them still touring.
