Happy 25th Annniversary to Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison"!!! Thread

On this day back in 1990, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe (as Bell Biv DeVoe, or BBD for short) released their smash hit debut album, "Poison" and help bring in the 90s with their fusion of Hip Hop, R&B and Pop, or as their slogan suggests: "Our Music Is Mentally Hip Hop, Smoothed Out on the R&B Tip, with a Pop Feel Appeal To It". So come and let's celebrate this ground-breaking album by these 3 members of New Edition!!!!!!

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Do Me Baby was by far my favorite off the album. It has an infectious groove
that still resonates today. I was surprised the single Poison was huge as it was.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint
