Ralph Tresvant

Tresvant.

Let's keep going because you about to piss me off talking about Ralph Tresvant.

Ralph Tresvant should have had a longer solo career, but I'm glad that he came back.

You want to know why he didn't? You

want to know why he didn't? You want to know why he

We made it just for you.

Who's Ralph Tresvant? That's Boo.

Boo, yeah.

He can sing, man.

We love you, boy

Peace off, ho, my name's Malik Fight this, fight that, where you goin'? Where you at? These girls don't know me from jack, yet I feel like the Mack You didn't want me then, so yo, hon, don't want me now Here, here, take the towel, wipe off your brow And take the contact out your eye, you're far from lookin' fly You're gettin' E for effin', and T for nice try And tell me what's the reason for dyin' your hair? Slum Village gold still danglin' in your ear You're barely half a neck but still sportin' a rope Four-finger ring just so Phifer can scope You looked in the mirror, didn't know what to do Yesterday your eyes were brown, but today they are blue Your whole appearance is a lie and it could never be true And if you really liked yourself, then you would try and be you If your hair and eyes were real, I wouldn't have dissed ya But since it was bull, I had to dismiss ya But if you can't achieve it, then why not try and weave it? If you can't extend it, then you might as well suspend it If you can't braid it, best thing to do is fade it I ask you, "Did you hear?" And you tell me, "Diane made it" If you were you and just you Talk to you? Maybe, but I can't stand No bionic lady tryin' hard to look fly But yo, you're lookin' dumber If I wanted someone like you I would've swooned with Jamie Summers You wanna be treated right? See Father MC Or check Ralph Tresvant for sensitivity 'Cause I am not the one, I got more game than Parker Brothers Phife Dawg is on the mic and I'm smooth like butter

[singing]

I thought I was dreamin' (Dreamin') Dreamin' (On a star, never had a doubt 'bout who you are Never had a doubt 'bout who you are) Who you are Now I'm wishin', wishin' on a star I never had a doubt 'bout who you are I'd like to make it really far with you Last night laid me down to sleep I dreamt all night 'bout you and me (And I daydream) When you comin' back real soon? (He said) Until then, what should I do? (He told me) Girl, look at the sky tonight Everything will be alright I hope I don't end up a fool, I swear Trust you is all I can do It's like I'm dreamin' (Dreamin') On a star (On a star, never had a doubt 'bout who you are Never had a doubt 'bout) Who you are Now I'm wishin', wishin' on a star I never had a doubt 'bout who you are I'd like to take it really far with you Want to make it far (Far) With you under the stars Want this love to shine through, babe Want to make it far (Wanna make it) Share both of our hearts That is what I wanna do You just walked in the door from work I see you and you kiss me first Déjà vu, you want me to go figure Feelin' like I'm 'bout to burst Damn, I swear I feel so ready Want this shit keep goin' steady Work it hard and work it good And have patience because what ain't said ain't understood And right now I'm dreamin', dreamin' (On a star, never had a doubt 'bout who you are) Oh, I never had a doubt And now I'm wishin', wishin' on a star Never had a doubt about you And I want (Want to make it far) To make it far (With you under the stars) With you And I want (Want to make it far) (Share both of our hearts) That is what I wanna do with you, baby

Yeah.

And then Ralph Tresvant was doing it on his own.

Ralph had his solo album.

Johnny was doing it, doing it on his own.

We had, uh, Fern's Testament from Stav, Cocoroco, Age of Ascent, and Keith Sweat with Twisted, a couple of, uh, hip hop tracks laced in there.

Uh, Ralph Tresvant with Sensitivity, Dianne Reeves, Testify, and we had heard from Chante Moore with Way You.

So a very R&B and reggae-dub-inspired mix from the folks at Front Yard FM.

Lucas Washburn and the homies mixing Back From the Dead.

It's another episode of Byron Scott's Fastbreak.

J Wagers, the coach, Mr. Byron Scott.

What up, what up?

Mr. Olden Polynice in the building as well.

You guys had that in the '80s as well.

Mm-hmm.

But who gets to hold the superstar accountable? Is it Nick Nurse, the coach? Is it Embiid, the face of the franchise? Or now LeBron James, who has four championships? Who actually is the loudest voice in the room?

Well, I think LeBron's gonna have the loudest voice, but I think all three of them have to hold everybody accountable, including theirselves.

[laughs]

"BBD, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill? They were in a group?" [laughs] So- I think because of that, I kind of tend to think of him as a s- a solo artist first.

Yeah.

And then also he was in New Edition 2.0. [laughs]

This is Ricky Bell here on the left.

This is Ralph Tresvant.

This is the leader of the posse, Michael Bivens.

Young Bobby Brown, before he left the group and was replaced by Johnny Gill.

Well, I knew it, too, obviously.

Listen, Wolfman makes a good point.

He says, Ralph Tresvant.

Now, that's a name that has superstar written all over it.

Yeah

... kind of like Ralph Tresvant with Sensitivity, Stone Cold Gentleman and Do What I Gotta Do.

Oh, Unwell's my favorite song by Matchbox Twenty then.

I think that is Matchbox Twenty, so Doug, you can put that on your Mount Rushmore.
