New Edition-"Cool It Now" (1984)

Watching the Behind the Music on Bobby Brown sucked me in again the other night and inspired this phoned in post. (I can't believe Bobby's doing Celebrity Fit Club nowadays, btw). I mean, acccording to some people, he was one of the greatest performers of all time.

Bobby had a lot more to contribute to popular music than his former New Edition bandmates, who went on to form Bell Biv Devoe. "Poison"
is a dope track (i.e. just ask Matheson from Pineapple Express), but it doesn't hold up to Bobby's "My Prerogative", "Humpin' Around", and/or "Don't Be Cruel". What a sick list of singles. yeesh.

I could go on all day about Bobby (and don't even get me started on Whitney...), but instead lez just kick back and watch this shit:

  2. I take great offense to your statements asserting that Bell Biv DeVoe are not as good as Bobby Brown. They are, in fact, far superior. Not only did they give us other great hits besides Poison (such as Do Me! and B.B.D.), without Bell Biv DeVoe we wouldn't have such musical luminaries as Boyz II Men and Another Bad Creation. I expect a prompt apology will follow.
