I don't know about "legend", but he definitely had his share of hits and one R&B classic CD in "Don't Be Cruel".. I love "Roni".. It reminds me of my fiancee, when he says:
The truth about Roni, she'ss a sweet old girl
About the sweetest little girl in the whole wild world
She'll make the toughest homeboy fall deep in love
Said once you had a Roni you will never give her up
She's a special kind of girl that makes her daddy feel proud
You know the kinda girl that stands out in crowds
Found a tender Roni and the Roni is so right
I think I'm gonna love her for the rest of my life -

Sorry you feel that way. But I think of him in a different form. His personal life doesn't affect what this man has accomplished in the music industry for many years.

Im with you fam. BBB is a legend. He out shined the rest of NE in the 80's look at all the old Videos, you could tell he was destint to be a star from the beginning. My Mama Named me Bobby After her favorite NE Member. I Cant Get enough BBB. He just the man. Which one of the other clowns from NE still doing music? None But Bobby. Then they try to replace him with Johnny Gill (The Homo). Bobby Is the Only R&B singer who makes the genre look manly. He's a str8 thug and dont give a F uck. I heard he tried to whoop Ushers Gay @ss for saying he was the old king of R&B. SO what if he has a drug problem. So did Jimmy Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Al Green (Before he whent gospel), Richard Prior, Michael Jackson (Pain Killers or sleep aids). This is the same man that used to get arrested for doing Tenderoni at every show. The rest of those no little talent cats in NE just were upset Cuz Booby Demanded the spotlight. WHen have you ever heard of a Ricky bell selling out a big arena???? Watch BBB and tell me he aint a star

If Bobby Brown is a legend, then so is every "one hit wonder" in the music industry.
Which one of the other clowns from NE still doing music? None But Bobby.<
Really?!..So exactly what music has Bobby put out lately??
Bobby Is the Only R&B singer who makes the genre look manly.<
Making babies all over the country, then dodging child support payments, only to have your TRUE LEGENDARY wife (whom shall remain nameless) pay them, makes him look manly?? Yeah, some "real" man!
He's a str8 thug and dont give a F uck. I heard he tried to whoop Ushers Gay @ss for saying he was the old king of R&B.<
Yeah, I read about that incident also. He made a complete ASS of himself at that party. Looking like a fake ass Eddie Kane Jr. from the "Five Heart beats." (LOL!!!! Woooo, that was a good one!) They said he looked like a pathetic OLD FOOL too! Come on, are you kidding me?! Usher is only twenty something and your boy is damn near 40. Bobby needs to grow his old ass up!
SO what if he has a drug problem. So did Jimmy Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Al Green (Before he whent gospel), Richard Prior, Michael Jackson (Pain Killers or sleep aids).<
To even dare mention that fools name in the same breath of such legends is completely laughable!
Watch BBB and tell me he aint a star<
NEWS FLASH He ain't a been a "star" for quite some time now.and will NEVER be a legend. Ohand BTW, "BBB" has been officially canceled after it's first season. People only tuned in to see Whitoopshis soon to be ex-wife anyway.
Look, I don't mean any harm, but you must be really young. That's the only way I can begin to wrap my mind around your logic. How anyone could idolize such a horrible person like Bobby Brown is unbelievable. Sorry, just my opinion.

contrary to wh2000at you belive (Your intitled to your opinion) Bobby is a entitainer. He is the man. As for an Usher and Bobby Fight. Bobby would whip ushers ass man. I seen 50v year old men put the smack down on 20 year olds before. And Bobby got that crack strength. C'mon. My lil sister can probably whop Usher. I said he made the genre look manly because look at all the R& B singers in the industry: Omarion, Babyface, Johnny Gill, I can go on and on. But the fact is they all look like down-lows (behind door d**k takers). Yes I might be young but I have been a fan of New edition since the 80's and Bobby was and still is my favorite. Its the poise he has that out shined the rest of the group. He makes you notice him As apposed to say Ronny Devo Who I thought was a deaf-mute until he finally said something in CandyGirl. They were all back up material. Ii think Ralph T. Had lead on most songs because the group was formed to be the next Jackson 5 and he sounded similar to michael, but Bobby often stole the show. The Star came out in him on Jeaalous girl. Then when he went solo. (Just my opinion)

Trapstar6, Bobby Brown is an "entertainer" for what it's worth. He had his 15 minutes of fame back in the eighties, with his one and ONLY hit album that was written & produced by LA Reid and Babyface. I think the public finds his off stage behavior more entertaining than anything. When I mentioned the age difference between he and Usher.I wasn't refering to a physical altercation between the two. I was merely pointing out that Bobby Brown is WAAAAAAAY past his prime, in terms of performance and marketing appeal. BTW, I don't particularly care for Usher myself, but like him or not, he's YOUNG & popular. That's the going thing in the music industry.It sucks, but thats just the way it is. IT'S ALL ABOUT MAKING PAPER, YOUNG BROTHABOTTOM LINE!
Now I'm not sure who is or isn't as you put it"behind door d**k takers," and so what if they are. One's sexual orientation does not make a person any less of a man or woman. We're all just people at the end of the day. Look, I'm not trying to be mean, but Bobby Brown is NOT a legend and never will be. He will forever be known as Whitney Houston's "HAS BEEN," druggie, soon to be ex-husband, that had ONE hit album over 25 years ago.
P.S. I must give you points for recognizing real talents & legends (EXCEPT BOBBY) that you stated in your earlier post. You sound like you have lots of passion for what you believe in, and even if I dissagree with you.I can respect where you're coming from. A lot of young people today don't tend to care about anything. At least you do care about something.

Well on Bobby Being a legend lets just agree to disagree. On the Note of Real talent in Music. Im only 23 but I love that old stuff. I grew up on it in a since. Luther (Big Luther) Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Glays Knight, The Jackson 5, In the 80's genre or R&B: Al B. Sure, Barry White, Chico Debarge, Janet Jackson, New Edition, Hell I even dug that one song by Oran "Juice" Jones (The Rain). A lot of my friends think im wired because Id rather listen to the good stuff (That old music) Id rather hear Bobby Browns "Girlfriend" over any song Usher has ever made.

Hey, that's what coming to the IMDB discussion boards is all about. So I too can respectfully agree to disagree.
You know what?.Your parents raised you right! lol, You obviously know the good stuff when you hear it. I bout fell out of my chair when you reached way back and mentioned Oran "Juice" Jones - "The Rain." I was like, what in the world does he know about THAT song! LOL!! You remind me of myself. When I was a little kid I was all into what my parents considered "Grown folks music."
I think it is so important for each prior generation to acknowledge and discuss this music. Thank God for Lauren Hill, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Musiq (formally known as Musiq Soulchild), India Erie, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Angie Stone, Wyclefetc, for 2000staying true to the game. This is "OUR" music, and if "WE" don't care enough to keep it alive, no one else will.

Yeah that Ole wlking in the rain was a cut. " I followed you today, Now, My 1st reaction was to run up on ya' Cold flat bust, Pull a Rambo But I just Chilled" It dont get no better than that. Even though a lot of my music collection is mostly Rap Classic R&B, I am starting to feel a lot of that neo soul music in the lights of the artist you mentioned. Im from Chicago, It has an eclectic veriety of music going around here. Kanye was the pioneer in bringing true Hip hop to Chicago and making it mainstreem. I realized I like Cats like Talib Kwali and Common. And to me Neo soul is just an extention to true hip hop. I love Angie Stone, Erica, Deangelo (Have you seen him?).
My Parents did put me on a lot musically (well my mother, Papa was a rolling stone). My Grandmother was also influential in my taste of music, She put me on the chi-lites (Have you seen her) Smokey Robinson, Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, and the other temptations, The Spinners and the 4 tops, Frankie Lymon, Sam Cook, Nat king Cole, Otis Redding. Wilson Picket(Dont Let The green Grass fool ya') ect. I kinda ventured on my own What a lil kid from the projects supposed to know about Jimmy Hendrix, Stills Crosby & Nash,?
I think I know about a million songs bro. Im something like a human juke box.

You are indeed a human juke box. lol, It's funny you should mention the relationship between R&B and hip hop. Hip Hop has grown into such a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. I remember there was a time when you only saw all white heavy metal bands on MTV. Now, Hip Hop is the main stream music of an entire generation, and I love it! There is so much to choose from in terms of different tastes and styles of rap. I'm more of a socially conscience hip hop lover myself. I love groups & solo acts like.Common, Kanye, BDP(Boogie down Productions), Eric B. & Rakim, Digable Planets, The Rootsetc. I USED TO like the "Black Eyed Peas." Sorry, they are just too damn mainstream commercial top 40 for me now. I guess I like to get my party on, and get intellectually stimulated at the same time. Ya mean!

Trapstar6 — 19 years ago(September 22, 2006 03:07 PM)
I more so lean towards the mainstreem stuff, But Right now its nothing that is reall catching me, so I find myself fall back on my classics Doggystlye, The Chronic, Strickly 4 my N***az, Leathal Injection, Anything by Outkast, I even Got hold of a slick Rick Mix. Music aint what it used to be. Artist used to put his heart and soul into an album and you wouldnt feel bad about it. Now y5b4ou go cop something like Young Dro Album and you feel like you got sold a bag of Huff (If you know what I Mean?)Cuz it only got 3 or 4 good trax on it. Im bout to get off work so we must finish this conversation on Monday. Its my Bday (23) weekend so I dont plan on being by a computer.

See there Bobby isnt that bad of a guy. Remember on the TV show when that lady needed money to pay her rent an Bobby gave it too her? (He probably went back and hit that but he still gave it to her). I also think the man had a point about the media downing him because he was with whitney. If you can Remeber "They" Almost had her like Michael Jackson, M.C. Hammer, and even O.J., But when Ole project ass Bobby got a hold of her it became a problem. Ive been thru that before. I mean before me working two jobs and "growing up", Im from the projects Ive sold drugs and Gang banged. However, I was always attrcted to females who where not from my up bringings, but It always seemed like they were attracted to me. We always would have a probleme being together. Be it her parents, teachers, her Friends. Nobody wanted me to be with good girls. Like i Told you my name is even Bobby, therefore I really felt like Bobby Brown 4real at least on that aspect. I've put females that were honor roll students on to street life, Drugs (Just weed), and a lot of other stuff. I just think Good girls get boared with the guys that are like them, So they venture to the wild side. I was wild.

"Remember on the TV show when that lady needed money to pay her rent an Bobby gave it too her? (He probably went back and hit that but he still gave it to her)."
LOL!! You had me over here crackin up with that one! Whassup Trapstar! Hope your B day weekend was all it could be, and then some. I remember that particular episode, and you're right, that was pretty nice of him. I really tripped off how they have "ghettos" in London England, because I believe that's where he was when he performed his good deed.
One of my main problems with Bobby Brown is that he needs to grow up. He's still running around acting like 20 year old. I mean it's one thing to grow up in the "hood" and have a "rough" side, but it's another when you show no personal growth what so ever. I'm sorry, but if you're still going in and out of jail, not paying child support, getting "high" all day at damn near 40, then something is SERIOUSLY wrong. If a "high class" sista wants to date a "rough neck" brutha like that.then by all means, go right ahead. I just ask that she makes sure this rough neck at least has a job.

My Bday was off the chain Man. (Thanks for asking) I feel you on that note about Bobby. He do need to grow up. I think its just a classic case of another childhood Celeberty gone bad. He been in the spotlight since he was like 12. Thats really all he knows, Just like Michael Jackson, and the rest. They dont have a plan-b for when your 15 mins of fame is up. As for a classy sister datting a rough necks thats just an age old question why do good girls like bad boys? Us being men we never will know.

I met Bobby Brown years ago! He was very nice. He waited til I got back from my car so he could sign my 2 Cds that I had in my car. I thought that was the coolest thing! I will always be a fan of his. He is very nice. I think the press went after him for being with Whitney so they all loved to pick on him.
Bobby if your reading this thank you again.
