  • Black people please lets be real to each other again im pleading no more hurting ,cheating ,hiding our feelings brothers & sisters ,stealing ,play on other feelings. If u don't feel that special person let them go be for real with them so they could go on with their life. Steping out is not real at all god will not grant u any blessings at all so stay real to self & hope to that special one & find goodness in others whom have less than u sometimes we could learn from them remember that peace.

  • @JTBLACKMAN43 let them know! TEACH!

  • teddy p was the man

  • Be for real.......dont do it for me do it for yourself!

  • talk 2 me

  • It's 11:00 Saturday night here in L.A.  The gorgeous melody of this song makes me want to step out on the town.

  • ...........TELL THE TRUTH

  • With this materialistic, egotistical, disrespectful, lustful contemporary world of our times this song is so appropriate. Like Alexander O'Neal said in his sung "Fake", very few are REAL, genuine, and honest with not themselves but all they come across. What is wrong with the people of the world, especially in the U.S. today? The subliminal message that is being sent via the airwaves, internet, television today is slowly destroying individuals, marriages, families, etc. Please, please BE 4 REAL!

  • I was in my kitchen putting rice in a Tuper Ware container and suddenly started reciting the opening dialogue to this cut.I stopped what I was doing to put the song on.

  • MACK A RONIII playa music 

  • Dolphins Head Coach Tony Sparano sent out a spirited message to Dolfans! He said he needs you all at the stadium & that the team needs your support & undying loyalty. He finished up with "We're going to get there (GET THERE-WHERE? DAMN-iT!) one way or the other. I hope its with you but we'll do it without you" What do you think about his message? Will you be cheering on the Fins @SunLifeStadium this season? Sound off here @WPLG Your responses will be read on Local 10 News @6am "BELiEVE"

  • The essential of life; be who you are, be yourself, Be For Real.

  • Great song!!! SANG it Teddy!!!

  • One of Teddy Pendergrass finest with Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes.

  • We talk about today's music and how there's no message in their songs and I agree but we have to realize that these are different times and our parents down the music we listen to also. I'm thankful for growing up during a time when ppl act their age to many adults are trying to be blend into this new era and they fail to realize we're not from this era and we need to hold fast to what we know and that's this generation needs stability and this new music is not the way.

  • This song is more resoundingly "real" now than it was back in the day.

  • In Memory of Bernie Wilson from the Blue Notes; Rest in Peace.

  • My dad used to play this song ALL THE TIME!  The relationship issue they had back then, lol

  • On the up n' up, alot of SISTas n' BRAthas need to listen to this, I'm talking about some true nubien sisters and brothers, not these water down niggas that's contaminated by the way of the world, really need to make sence of the way thing are today insted of standing at the corner, talkin bad bout you your brother insted of reaching out. Like the song said, Be 4 Real. U talk about real talk, Nigga, U don't even know how to BE 4 REAl. I'v been from gabage to perfume, a star from the Getto BaBy.

  • ......and they live down in the lower development homes and you won't even buy them a drink! hilarious

  • This is true dynamite and we need more of this today

  • The gold digging young ladies of today need a man like this. To tell them what is for real....

  • @TheAms49 lol

  • The gold digging young ladies of today need a man like this. To tell them what is for real....

  • :54 "is you for real?" LOL!

  • teddy was to philadephia records what marvin was to motown.

  • dis song shuts them up;) Great Song:)

  • ppl do still think that material things is will make u a better person than what u r.my mommy always said DONT FORGET WHERE U COME FROM,CAUSE OTHER PPL WONT n they will let u know it

  • This is why i raised my children on Old School...it's just some real music telling a story that's so true!!!!

  • I freakin' love this piece for its "real worldness." The sad part is that many of our women are now having to handle males {not men}, this way, You don't have to be wealthy, college educated, middle-class or even living 'comfortably' to have your s___ together. Most of us are only 1 or 2 paychecks from the relief lines anyway so do the do and show somebody else how to.

  • if your won't be for real, listen to this classic and it will change your mind

  • Perhaps my favorite song ever.

    

  • masterpiece

  • wat een vet nummer!

  • this is on the collectors item album TP all day baby

  • I love how Teddy shuts it down at 6:24 and The Bluenotes easily come in and assist him. Man, now this is SINGIN'!!!!!!!

  • Been lookin for the artist of this song FOR YEARS thnx!!!

  • this is real talk!

  • Don't have this kind of rap these days!!!!!

  • If I'm not mistaken, this is not on any Teddy P albums. It's on some sort of Philly International multiple artist compilation originally.

  • @TheELSABA It is not a Teddy P track, it is aHarold Melvin track

  • @TheELSABA Hello there! This song originally appeared on the same HM & the Blue Notes album containing "I Miss You" and "If You Don't Know Me by Now." I believe the album was self-titled. And you are correct, it did not appear on any of Teddy's albums.

  • @TheELSABA

    Found this song today. Man I miss these sound. I think If we can get this kind of music back more of these young cats will fall in love,try to spend more time with that special someone and stop all the gang banging.

  • @bills2go Yeah Bills. I understand the coldness of the world. But everybody needs balance. One can either seek it at their own pace, or have it forced on them, but there will be balance. Young brothers need to know its not all about being hard all the time. Introspection/Retrospection.

  • @TheELSABA I think the cd title you are referring to is FROM PHILLY WITH LOVE a great compilation cd.

  • @alexk2501 THAT'S IT! Yes Sir.

  • @TheELSABA Hello there! Acutally, this song appeared originally on HM&TBN's debut Philly International album in 1972. The album's original title was "I Miss You," but was changed later to a self-titled album, after the success of "If You Don't Know Me by Now." "Be for Real" was actually a minor hit, overshadowed by the two above-mentioned songs. It appears later in a few of the group's greatest hits compilations. This is from the 2001 compilation "The Ultimate Blue Notes."

  • @soap1919jt I actually like "Be For Real" over the rest of the Harold Melvin & The BlueNotes songs EXCEPT for "You Know How To Love Me" & "I Hope That We Can Be Together Soon".

  • This one right here is straight up "keeping it real"! They don't make jams like these anymore. I love, love, love this one.

  • Maybe the "Bling, Blingers" should listen to this.

  • Oooohh Weeee! Kold, Kold Klassic Rap from TP! My mom used to play this LP and this was my favorite - he stated his case like a tru "G". Solid music, the sax man was really blowin, Leon Huff, rockin' the piano...........this was music!

  • Top Tune!!! Takes the 3 us back to the days. Nice one ken

  • Thought exactly the same thing

  • he was a real man he spoke what the truth was just be yourself and be for real, she was a fake back then and teddy just checked her, he told it like it is. most people want to in the spot light and flaunt what they have and make the next person feel like crap. what an asshole i know so many like this and i just lol and walk way let them wonder why?.
