Remember That One Time Bobby Brown Dropped His Coke Live on Arsenio Hall 🤣 EDIT! Alternative, extended version of the fukkery

[get these nets]

Appreciate the correction OG. Now I just ask, if it had occurred at the Arsenio show set, would it had a different path?

You're welcome.
Was correcting the person who tweeted it.

Had it happened on Arsenio, they might have edited it out of the broadcast. Sad that Bob developed a habit, all things considered he's lucky to be alive and kicking in 2023.

 

[Dynamite James]

That's not the Arsenio show set.
Revising the story. Arsenio probably hosted that MTV event.

It was the mtv vma’s

Put us on OG. We know their names and they status but don’t really know history. Give us game salute

Babyface wrote and produced for everyone in the mid 80s thru the 90s and beyond but when Bobby left New Edition he wanted to prove that he was a solo star and didn’t need anyone.

And the record label was behind him so they got him the best producers doing black music back in the late 80. Babyface and LA Reid were killing it (Babyface in particular) and laced Bobby with mid tempo shyt and slower joints that fit his voice (Bobby isn’t a strong singer but can show out on stage). Teddy Riley was making a ton of noise with New Jack Swing and naturally that was a fit for Bobby as well.

Top it off with Bobby’s personality and you had a dude who could dance, kinda sing and he was about the fukkery. Someone who was a post-Rick James, post-Alexander ONeal male black singer but no where on the level of Prince or Michael Jackson. But he had club records and songs for the ladies.

Only thing that slowed him down was the fukkery because he could’ve transitioned well to the mid-90s. Bel Biv Devoe flipped their whole male R&B group persona and were basically on some pre-Jodeci shyt that wasn’t going to be innocent like Boyz II Men — and they made hits so it worked.

Sad

With that said, “On Our Own” is the goat Bobby Brown song

That shyt had me rocking as a kid in Ghostbusters 2, especially when they played it to close the movie. shyt was dope asf

Wow this was very eloquent and dope to read!!. Thanks for giving us game! Now one more question: was it known back then that it was baby face and LA Reid the real culprits behind Bobby success? Or it was on some keep it on the low shyt?

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Bobby was always.. dope on stage

 

[Atlanta 80s baby]

Big sniffer, lock jaw gawd

Their sound was distinct and a lot of times Babyface sang on the records too. Listen to Take a Bow by Madonna — it’s obvious he’s on it. But in the late 80s/90s they were in high demand. Anyone who was popping back then was fukking with them because you were getting a hit just like The Neptunes would get you a hit record.

Everyone knew Bobby wasn’t a writer and producer. They wanted fukkery and him going all out in a performance.

LA and Babyface simply had a good thing going and they flipped that into a successful record label situation. Even Michael Jackson hollered at them for music but it never turned into anything because Teddy Riley literally created his own sub-genre and people wanted it.

Teddy came to Michael with so much fukkin heat like this….



And it turned into this.



Michael made the best New Jack Swing album ever. For its time no one had a sound like Teddy so imagine him linking with the best artist ever who can also write songs and is a perfectionist.

Rep for acknowledging Alexander Oneal

Besides remember the time this was my favorite on dangerous. Wish it was a single. Would have been a hit on black radio

Teddy could’ve done the whole album if we are keeping it 100. Blood on the Dancefloor is from the Dangerous sessions and would’ve been a smash in the clubs if it made the album. I get that MJ wanted “anthems” like Heal The World but he didn’t realize he was making the best New Jack album ever and it crossed way over.

Can’t Let Her Get Away wouldn’t been a monster hit on black radio because brehs were already rocking with it. Check this video out. This is Soul Train playing an album cut — not a hit from the record. And you legit had the top MJ impersonator at the time dancing a whole routine.

If Michael did more R&B ballads for Dangerous it would have definitely been the best new Jack album. Songs in the vain of:

Breh they messed up by not putting Someone Put Your Hand Out, Blood on the Dancefloor on and taking off Keep The Faith and Gone Too Soon.

Keep The Faith shouldve just been given to Stanley Crouch’s group, have one of his singers on lead and keep some MJ vocals. It would’ve killed it in the black gospel world.

Gone Too Soon shouldve been promo only and give the proceeds to an AIDS org since this song was for Ryan White.

Someone Put Your Hand out literally is MJ doing DeBarge better than DeBarge and Teddy gave that song new life when he came in during the Dangerous sessions. Michael trusted Bill Botrell too much with the album sequencing. Bill was valuable but he was an engineer first and not in the clubs taking the temperature of what people were fukkin with.

When Teddy came in they prolly lost their minds because dude pulled up with an albums worth of shyt and could’ve knocked the record out in a couple of months. Teddy was hungry back then and getting out of a toxic situation in NYC — he has legit street cats coming at him trying to lil bro him for money. So when MJ called he couldn’t wait to go to California.

Breh, Michael gave Joy to Teddy for BlackStreet. Mans is literally doing backing vocals on the shyt.

WTF was this dude thinking.

That shyt would’ve been a damn generational wedding song if he kept it.
