DJ Sir Daniel: Greetings and welcome back to another episode
Speaker:of Queue Points podcast, dropping the needle on black music history.
Speaker:I am DJ Sir Daniel.
Jay Ray:And my name is Jay Ray, sometimes known by my government
Jay Ray:as Johnny Ray Cornegay, the third what's happening, people.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Well, I can tell you what's happening, Jay Ray.
Jay Ray:P Diddy is to say that he's in trouble is an understatement.
Jay Ray:We're now 120 more allegations deep and the saga just continues.
Jay Ray:Um, more artists that he's worked with are coming out with their
Jay Ray:own tales of working with him.
Jay Ray:But you know what you and I were having a conversation about a, a video that
Jay Ray:we recently saw featuring Johnny Gill and Johnny Gill, of course, we know.
Jay Ray:Iconic legendary vocalist, um, member of.
Jay Ray:Uh, Levert, sweat and Gill, also a member of a new edition, of course, was
Jay Ray:reflecting on his time and new additions time working with Diddy on Bad Boy.
Jay Ray:And you and I looked at each other like, huh,
Jay Ray:that's
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: I completely forgot about that.
Jay Ray:That was a pro.
Jay Ray:That was a moment in time.
Jay Ray:it's wild when you think about it now one that it was that many years.
Jay Ray:So that is the 20th anniversary of the release of new additions album on
Jay Ray:Bad Boy, which was called one love.
Jay Ray:It was their seventh album,
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Mm hmm.
Jay Ray:um, released in November of 2004.
Jay Ray:So we're really coming up on it on the Bad Boy, universal.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Ooh.
Jay Ray:We got a lot to talk about there leading up to this record, but
Jay Ray:you know, what's interesting about this album for me personally, sir, Daniel.
Jay Ray:And I do want to get in, have, have us get into what Johnny Gill said.
Jay Ray:What's interesting for me though, about this album is literally forgot.
Jay Ray:So there was home again,
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Yes,
Jay Ray:and then there was one love in my mind.
Jay Ray:They were the same album.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: same, same Jay Ray saying same.
Jay Ray:I was like, when, so that wasn't on hot tonight when on the home again.
Jay Ray:Oh, huh.
Jay Ray:I literally said the same thing and I figured out why we feel this way.
Jay Ray:Sir, Daniel, the reason why
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Okay.
Jay Ray:this way, and this speaks to kind of the omni presence of a Bad Boy in that
Jay Ray:era between like 96 and like the early 2000s was that of course, Diddy produced.
Jay Ray:The single from the home again record.
Jay Ray:for whatever reason, I merged these two things together and was like, Oh yeah.
Jay Ray:One love.
Jay Ray:Of course that I remembered, I remember the hot tonight that was on there
Jay Ray:and I thought it was all six of them.
Jay Ray:And it wasn't until I was getting ready for this show, sir, Daniel, where they
Jay Ray:were like, five members were in a group.
Jay Ray:And I'm like, no, that don't make no sense.
Jay Ray:It was six members in the group.
Jay Ray:It wasn't, this is a totally different record.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: It was not, it was supposed to be a celebration of new
Jay Ray:edition, finally leaving MCA because they had been with MCA for decades,
Jay Ray:they were finally leaving MCA and they were also, they also got their masters.
Jay Ray:deal.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Which is a huge deal for artists.
Jay Ray:You hear them talk about it to this day about getting their masters,
Jay Ray:getting the original reel to reels in their case of their recordings there.
Jay Ray:Like you said, they had not put an album out in seven years.
Jay Ray:So.
Jay Ray:It just kind of felt like, you know, Diddy is Diddy and Bad Boy records.
Jay Ray:As you mentioned, J rate has been running things for lack of a better
Jay Ray:term for, for close to a decade now, they've had a great track run.
Jay Ray:Um, They've had, they got this new deal with universal records, which that just
Jay Ray:was not a good era for Bad Boy in my, in my opinion, and clearly yours as well.
Jay Ray:But they actually signed Jay Ray in 2002.
Jay Ray:Yeah.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Guess when the album finally came out 2004.
Jay Ray:So there's a.
Jay Ray:Two year gap.
Jay Ray:There's two years of being in the studios, two years of, I'm sure
Jay Ray:photo shoots, two years of writing.
Jay Ray:And the only thing that I can think of, Jay Ray, is that they were just,
Jay Ray:there was too many chefs in the kitchen.
Jay Ray:'cause when you look at who was on the roster as far as producers,
Jay Ray:Jay Ray, and writers, first of all, new Edition of course.
Jay Ray:Being the, the, the consummate performance that they are, are writing as well.
Jay Ray:This is not just like, we're going to sit here and let you give us stuff.
Jay Ray:This is a collaboration.
Jay Ray:They are,
Jay Ray:They have had hit after hit as a group and solo.
Jay Ray:They are seasoned performers.
Jay Ray:So by then new edition is 20 years into their career.
Jay Ray:They are veterans.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: they are veterans.
Jay Ray:They are heads of state, in my opinion.
Jay Ray:And so of course the album roster of producers includes,
Jay Ray:you know, your Stevie J's.
Jay Ray:You got your, now you got your Mario Winans, Ryan, um, Leslie, and who is
Jay Ray:a whole nother conversation to have.
Jay Ray:long, that's a whole other long conversation.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: That's a whole nother conversation to have, Dre and Vidal.
Jay Ray:And funny enough, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were producers on
Jay Ray:this album as well, Jay Ray.
Jay Ray:That's a lot of chefs in the kitchen,
Jay Ray:a lot of chefs.
Jay Ray:And of course, you know, the thing about it, and I think it was, uh,
Jay Ray:Michael Bivens, it might've been Ricky Bell that talked about.
Jay Ray:this at the time, Bad Boy, of course, didn't really want, they
Jay Ray:weren't really keen on the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis edition.
Jay Ray:So Jimmy and Terry only did, I think two songs on this record, if I'm correct.
Jay Ray:Yeah.
Jay Ray:They did two songs on the record.
Jay Ray:And most of that was because I think, you know, budget wise
Jay Ray:bet, you know, did he wants to
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: you
Jay Ray:in house with the hit men.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: know, of course.
Jay Ray:That's
Jay Ray:we know that new edition is like, nah, like our big bangers.
Jay Ray:Is this we jimmy jam and terry lewis like
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: that's magic right there
Jay Ray:are we not gonna have a record with jimmy j have songs with jimmy
Jay Ray:jim And terry lewis, but I I do want us to talk a little bit about um The
Jay Ray:moment in time that new edition are actually coming into Bad Boy because I
Jay Ray:think that does cloud What happened to?
Jay Ray:so in The early, the late nineties.
Jay Ray:So this is 2000 and beyond Bad Boy changes a lot.
Jay Ray:So by 2002, when new edition sign the head, all the, the, the original
Jay Ray:kind of the old G's are gone, so there's no more faith Evans.
Jay Ray:There's no more biggie.
Jay Ray:There's no more mace, like all of these people who were part of Bad Boy version 1.
Jay Ray:0 have all moved on.
Jay Ray:And now we're into Bad Boy version.
Jay Ray:2.
Jay Ray:0, which did he had gone through?
Jay Ray:And because Diddy is the biggest star on the label and
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: by design
Jay Ray:design, right, he grew to be the biggest thing on the label.
Jay Ray:Right.
Jay Ray:of course he went through his own challenges.
Jay Ray:This is after the club incident with the shooting and shine.
Jay Ray:And
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: J Lo.
Jay Ray:so.
Jay Ray:Diddy is having a rough time chart wise in this era.
Jay Ray:And I remember when I heard about the fact that new edition signed
Jay Ray:with Bad Boy on paper, it made sense.
Jay Ray:It's like, Diddy is from, you know, this era of.
Jay Ray:He understands R& B.
Jay Ray:He's helped to craft some of the most amazing R& B and ushered
Jay Ray:in some of the most amazing R& B acts we'll ever experience.
Jay Ray:And it's like, Oh yeah, new addition signing with him makes sense.
Jay Ray:And then of course we get into it and realize like, Oh my God, this is
Jay Ray:actually kind of a mess because Johnny Gill alludes to that in the interview
Jay Ray:of like, yeah, it didn't work out the way we thought it was going to.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Yes.
Jay Ray:So, Johnny Gill's, um, interview, he specifically recalls an incident where,
Jay Ray:you know, and he always prefaces, prefaces the conversation by saying,
Jay Ray:Hey, I've known Sean for years.
Jay Ray:Which is true.
Jay Ray:They, you know, if you're in the music industry long enough, you're going to run
Jay Ray:into the same people over and over again.
Jay Ray:Y'all are running in the same circles.
Jay Ray:You're probably on tour with each other.
Jay Ray:They know each other.
Jay Ray:They're in the same age group.
Jay Ray:This is, so Johnny Gill is looking at him like, you're my peer.
Jay Ray:We're bros.
Jay Ray:Right.
Jay Ray:And so he recounts these really ugly incidents where Sean kind of oversteps.
Jay Ray:His the boundaries and like gets really flippant with him and he was like, hey
Jay Ray:now, wait a minute Then this thing, you know, they're having these drop
Jay Ray:knockdown drag out arguments And jray, so I have a theory as you mentioned Um
Jay Ray:Bad Boy isn't really on the charts like that anymore um The roster is looking
Jay Ray:real funny because now the roster is made up of mostly reality TV stars.
Jay Ray:Diddy has transitioned from a recording star to a television star.
Jay Ray:Thanks to MTV
Jay Ray:Mhm.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: and the making the band series.
Jay Ray:Of course, you know, you've got, first of all, remember that.
Jay Ray:That held that weird moment in time where he had all these
Jay Ray:white acts, like he had dream.
Jay Ray:He had, what was it?
Jay Ray:Was it machine gun Kelly?
Jay Ray:Clang.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Yeah.
Jay Ray:So he was, he was really, really like, I guess, trying to, of course,
Jay Ray:cross over on in a major way by introducing non black acts to Bad Boy.
Jay Ray:And that really didn't work.
Jay Ray:If you look at the, the, the roster and who actually was successful.
Jay Ray:But I, I go back to the, to the making the band series.
Jay Ray:Diddy has now has this television persona of the mogul and the, the HNIC everything.
Jay Ray:I'm the last, I'm the last stop for everything that goes on around here.
Jay Ray:Yes.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: And so I think he carried over that persona that
Jay Ray:give me a cheesecake from junior's persona into a conversation with.
Jay Ray:New addition who are his age or slight, maybe slightly older, who have been
Jay Ray:in the actual industry longer than him are actual performers who have
Jay Ray:sold millions of records, consummate performers who, who get up there and
Jay Ray:do a two step like nobody else can.
Jay Ray:They can fall into choreography.
Jay Ray:These are seasoned professionals.
Jay Ray:Jay Ray, it sounds to me like one love was not a collaboration.
Jay Ray:One love was definitely a battle, a battle, mostly with Diddy's, probably
Jay Ray:his ego and him trying to keep creative control over this project when he didn't,
Jay Ray:he probably didn't realize that he could have gotten a lot further if it had
Jay Ray:been more of a collaboration instead of him trying to bully some grown ass men.
Jay Ray:And as we see here, it took, so the album, you want to talk about the stats.
Jay Ray:hmm
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Let's talk about the stats.
Jay Ray:So they were signed, like I said, in November of 20, excuse me, 2002.
Jay Ray:Mm
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: The album did not come out until 2004.
Jay Ray:The first single, Hot Tonight, which was a battle in of it.
Jay Ray:So,
Jay Ray:hmm.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: because.
Jay Ray:by the way.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Produced by Ryan Leslie did not, according to new edition, the
Jay Ray:single did not reflect their maturity and it did not reflect the maturity of
Jay Ray:their audience because they know who they are and they know who their audience is.
Jay Ray:They know how old the audience is.
Jay Ray:And this, this literally sounds like something you could
Jay Ray:give to a one 12 or day 26.
Jay Ray:Right, right, right, right.
Jay Ray:Yes
Jay Ray:So listen, y'all, we can't do everything here on YouTube.
Jay Ray:So which you should do is you should definitely join our Patreon
Jay Ray:where we have a version of this particular show with some extra
Jay Ray:footage from the one love era of new
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Listen, Jerry is talking really greasy on this.
Jay Ray:Um, unedited version.
Jay Ray:I really think you need to check it out.
Jay Ray:Cause you, he's in rare form and you never seen him talking like this.
Jay Ray:I sometimes I had to step back myself.
Jay Ray:I couldn't believe it.
Jay Ray:No, but on a serious tip, if you want us, you know, there's things
Jay Ray:that we can introduce and play.
Jay Ray:Um, On the backside, but we can't do it here.
Jay Ray:Cause you know, we'll get flagged in, you know, how YouTube does this thing.
Jay Ray:So make sure you subscribe and come on over
Jay Ray:Yes.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: the raw uncut footage.
Jay Ray:Trust me.
Jay Ray:You don't want to miss it.
Jay Ray:The cool kids are over there.
Jay Ray:Come join the cool kids and just, you know, get all the behind the
Jay Ray:scenes juice that you know, you want
Jay Ray:Peace y'all.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: peace.
Jay Ray:So the album, one love debuted at number 12.
Jay Ray:On billboards, 200 chart and number five on the billboard R and B hip hop chart.
Jay Ray:respectable for a band of that caliber and new additions audience
Jay Ray:What did this record of course, and honestly, from a commercial and critical
Jay Ray:perspective, the reviews were fine.
Jay Ray:People were like, no, this is actually a competent record.
Jay Ray:Did he knows how to make sure that a record is clean, that it
Jay Ray:sounds good, all of the above.
Jay Ray:So people didn't have concerns with the quality of the album per se,
Jay Ray:but it was some of this other stuff.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: It was some of the other stuff we were talking
Jay Ray:about, the lack of cohesion between Diddy and new, um, new edition.
Jay Ray:And so the single.
Jay Ray:Which again was a lot.
Jay Ray:There was a lot of contention between, um, between the label and the artists.
Jay Ray:They didn't really want that single to be the first thing, because this is, this is
Jay Ray:how you're reintroducing yourself after seven years of not releasing an album.
Jay Ray:This is not, this is not only how you're reintroducing yourself to
Jay Ray:your core audience, but there's a whole nother generation that
Jay Ray:is getting to no new addition.
Jay Ray:That single Jay Ray peaked at number 35 on Billboard's R& B chart and
Jay Ray:number 87 on Billboard's Hot 100.
Jay Ray:We're talking about New Edition here, Jay Ray.
Jay Ray:This is New Edition.
Jay Ray:This is a, this is a super group.
Jay Ray:This is New Edition, Bell Biv DeVoe, and Johnny Gill.
Jay Ray:Forum to make Tron at this point.
Jay Ray:And then, so by April of 2005, the, the album came out in November of 2004.
Jay Ray:By April of 2005, guess how many copies it actually sold?
Jay Ray:245,000 copies, I think.
Jay Ray:I think Johnny Gill might have sold that on his own back in 1985.
Jay Ray:Right.
Jay Ray:With the record that people,
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: didn't even know.
Jay Ray:You know what I'm saying?
Jay Ray:This is, that's wild considering that again, this is a,
Jay Ray:this is a heritage group.
Jay Ray:This is a heritage group.
Jay Ray:These are not some new jacks,
Jay Ray:Yeah.
Jay Ray:You know, it's interesting when I put this in perspective today, we
Jay Ray:would look at 245, 000 and think, Oh my God, that record is such a hit.
Jay Ray:This is awesome.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: right?
Jay Ray:But
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: copies.
Jay Ray:Yes.
Jay Ray:copies, right.
Jay Ray:He's like, Oh my God, that's really
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Y'all do that.
Jay Ray:Grand
Jay Ray:This is a hit album, but, um, In 2004 and 2005, is not it, right?
Jay Ray:And as a result, new edition.
Jay Ray:Asked to be really like, listen, we went out of this thing.
Jay Ray:We bow out.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: opening, grand closing, literally a year, Jay Ray from November of
Jay Ray:2004 to November of 2005, the span of the album one and done, we are out of here.
Jay Ray:Let us out of our, let us out of this contract.
Jay Ray:That's it.
Jay Ray:Let's just wash my hands, but Jay Ray who's missing out of this equation.
Jay Ray:like, we haven't talked about the fact that there is a member, the,
Jay Ray:the Kang of R& B is not in this group.
Jay Ray:And we're not meaning that facetiously.
Jay Ray:Bobby Brown is amazing.
Jay Ray:King of R& B.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Jay Ray, where, so we saw Bobby Brown in 1996,
Jay Ray:part of the home again project,
Jay Ray:And
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: but where was he during one love
Jay Ray:Well, so the interesting thing.
Jay Ray:So new edition reforms in 1996, they do an album home again.
Jay Ray:It's amazing.
Jay Ray:Everybody's excited to have new edition back.
Jay Ray:So what do artists do?
Jay Ray:Sir, Daniel, when they need to promote an album, they like, we got to go on tour.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: on the road again,
Jay Ray:are new edition.
Jay Ray:We're going to do all of our new edition stuff.
Jay Ray:And then we're going to do our BBD, our Ralph T, our Johnny G
Jay Ray:and our Bell Biv DeVoe stuff, and it's going to be amazing, baby.
Jay Ray:Listen, those brothers was scratch.
Jay Ray:Being Sir Daniel.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: I believe it.
Jay Ray:I mean, knock down drag outs, but it's in all fairness and all honesty, they've
Jay Ray:been doing that since they were kids,
Jay Ray:Yeah,
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: which is to be expected.
Jay Ray:You know, you've got growing men, um, on tour with each other.
Jay Ray:All everybody has.
Jay Ray:Different personalities, their own egos, of course.
Jay Ray:And they're making money.
Jay Ray:So yes, you're going to have a clash of the Titans.
Jay Ray:that's the other big part.
Jay Ray:So yes, I know we we did the whole thing about them arguing and not getting along.
Jay Ray:But the other thing was Bob from Bobby Brown's perspective.
Jay Ray:He's like, I don't want to split.
Jay Ray:You don't know you have when you're in a group like this, like you
Jay Ray:got to split the money up evenly
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Yeah,
Jay Ray:it's not five, it is six.
Jay Ray:So when you've now been a solo act for as long as Bobby Brown had been a solo act,
Jay Ray:those splits were also a thing as well.
Jay Ray:Um,
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: got a lot of kids to take care of
Jay Ray:a lot of kids to take care of.
Jay Ray:That was a whole different point of time in Bobby Brown's life as well.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: for sure.
Jay Ray:Bobby did not sign on for the.
Jay Ray:one love the bad whole Bad Boy era, but sir, Daniel, one thing
Jay Ray:that you said earlier, and I know we're going to get out of here in a
Jay Ray:second, but I do think it is really
Jay Ray:not ironic is the wrong word.
Jay Ray:I felt like.
Jay Ray:Do addition fighting so hard to get from under the thumb and the
Jay Ray:foot of all of these MCA records.
Jay Ray:Maurice star back in the day, all of these people that were like, no, no,
Jay Ray:no, we're going to hold you down.
Jay Ray:I think the other thing is.
Jay Ray:Going over there to Bad Boy, they quickly figured out like, no, cause he's already
Jay Ray:trying to take control of stuff that we've worked so hard to get, regain our control.
Jay Ray:You can't have it.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: You are absolutely right.
Jay Ray:Um, one caveat.
Jay Ray:So like Bobby Brown rejoined new edition right after they, um, left Bad Boy and
Jay Ray:went to support the one love project.
Jay Ray:What was left of it?
Jay Ray:right.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: And they went on tour after that, but you're absolutely right.
Jay Ray:I it's I couldn't have said it any better.
Jay Ray:These are grown men who have literally come up in the industry as children have
Jay Ray:gone have Gone up against every monster in this industry that you can think of
Jay Ray:and for You know, again, like I said, Diddy is at this time is really feeling
Jay Ray:himself and wants to take creative control, keep everything in house, of
Jay Ray:course, like you said, to, to keep it, um, more beneficial for him economically,
Jay Ray:but these fellas are just like, no, you can't talk to us like, um, the band.
Jay Ray:We're not Danny B.
Jay Ray:Kane.
Jay Ray:You're not going to, to roast us and have us doing a dance battle.
Jay Ray:You can't do that with us.
Jay Ray:And so it's just, it's really simple.
Jay Ray:Let's surmise it.
Jay Ray:Jay Ray, the factors that led to the failure of one love, a battle
Jay Ray:of creative control between Diddy.
Jay Ray:And new addition strike one to the lead single did not reflect the
Jay Ray:group's maturity or the maturity of their audience and number three.
Jay Ray:And most importantly, there was probably just a lack of
Jay Ray:respect, a lack of respect for.
Jay Ray:Um, them as artists and for them as, as creative, um, creatives in this process.
Jay Ray:So yeah, guys, I hope you not, do you remember, is it clicking now?
Jay Ray:You remember one love the album cover is, it's white.
Jay Ray:They're wearing baggy jeans, which is weird for new edition at that age.
Jay Ray:Okay.
Jay Ray:So I do want to talk about that before we get out of here.
Jay Ray:That was also really interesting.
Jay Ray:So new edition has this
Jay Ray:baggy, like it's like
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Is it Sean?
Jay Ray:They're probably wearing Sean, John
Jay Ray:literally wearing Sean John and they got, so if you go back to
Jay Ray:home again, they're all in suits, dah,
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: White suits.
Jay Ray:Yes.
Jay Ray:in
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: Very classy.
Jay Ray:right.
Jay Ray:And at this, I'm like, so are they the locks now?
Jay Ray:I'm not sure.
Jay Ray:DJ Sir Daniel: They're looking like a combination of the locks and,
Jay Ray:um, so for real at the point, not, not up to new edition standards.
