💩people forget we're talking about the earlier 80s just coming out of the 70s slavery wasn't that far behind so they treated you like you knew you wasn't suppose to expect much are know how much you should be getting oldest trick in the book

Mike is a genuine guy and a BUSINESS MAN. Notice how he called their names when he answered them, he called Math name, Mecca, and BIGGA . That’s a person favorite word , THEIR NAME . Etiquette 101

Damn this Michael Bivins interview is fire bro. One of your best yet.

The "Pause" references are super wack, with Mike Bivins not caring...LOLOLOL

The pauses dont work when you sittin down wit a OG! but that "hes in my *ss" line was a magnificent pause

It's amazing to me that he still has such a good attitude after being screwed out of millions.

Been a Day one fan since Candy Girl Dropped in 83. Had the Honor and Privilege to hopvon Stage in OKC during a Poison performance- Met Ronnie Devoe and took a picture with him during a weekend Concert in LBC. Saw them perform in April 2023 in Fort Worth Texas. Will definitely catch Biv's Documentary when it drops. NE4LIFER "

Mike Bivins is a Genius

The respect they giving Biv is crazy and i love it, this interview is everything

2:28 Ay Yoo pause, Math couldn't hold it back 🤣🤣🤣

Like how he talks "grown man" gets his point across explains his position and relays in an articulate way....

Trip the pioneers and legends-on my conspiracy type sht-but it's like they got rid of them. Gems being dropped w/having to be savy w/these contracts. This story about Jay, stories about Prince being real on owning masters, Michael Jackson and his ordeal w/Sony, Cosby in wanting to take a stake in NBC when The Cosby Show was enlighting our people. So sad. God bless Biv and all of his success and future endeavors.🙏🏾

It'd absolutely incredible that 1980's NE's seemed "Tour Primary, Record Secondary" approach to their musicianship revenue is exactly the revenue model for youngins doing their thang 40 years. Truly incredible - woohoo!

One of the best interviews I've ever seen

MR Bivins always dropping gems and Representing my hometown well ty Bostonstrong❤

Mike Biv, always been the coolest.

Aww yal wuz scared to say pause wit Biv 😂😂😂😂😂 I was waiting for it

Am learning as I watch this interview. Wisdom and information are key in todays world

Good to hea the legend talk. Is that the bro Omari in the background? Bro a spitter 💯

Dopest guess Yet Math.. you MADE it

Michael Bivins is a cool laid back and knowledgeable OG when it comes to the Bu$$ine$$ of music 🎶!

They were going crazy at the beginning trying not to pause the OG Biv.

Talk that! It aint that we dumb, we just ignorant to certain things and dont know the right ppl && dont be havin the money to get to the ppl we need to know. Take ya time artists 🙏🏾

Mike Biv and Westside Gunn remind of each other they should do a project together

Mike is an astute businessman he definitely was the fly on the wall and developed a business sense of circumventing what the label heads were throwing at them and strategically rectifying the issues for the betterment of the group and the groups he discovered and cultivated into legends.

Those contracts were messed up smh

PERTAINING BAD CONTRACTS?...NO ONE DESERVES TO BE IN A BAD CONTRACT. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS.

AYO Pause....lol

Really, you just have to know how to read and comprehend. I rejected every contract ever offered because I saw that what I created wouldn't be mine anymore. Not enough money in history to sell myself short 💯

Everybody so self-conscious about the words they say because they came up with pause or no Homo he’s old school he shouldn’t have to constantly say those words to prove he’s not gay

dude, this is happening right this moment with artist now. How many times have we heard , "you don't make any money off of selling records." No..... YOU aren't making money off your records and streaming but someone is. Right now... labels have contracts with the streaming companies where they are banking but yet the artist are getting pennies and having to tour all the time to break even.

Biv and westside Gunn have similar demeanors

I love he didn't play the pause game.

New Edition was signed to Jump and Shoot. The Jets were signed to Don Powell. See a pattern here?
