{"product_id":"poison","title":"Poison","description":"Amazon.com\n\nIn 1990, it was still fairly novel to mix R\u0026amp;B songcraft with overpowering hip-hop beats, so this spinoff by New Edition members Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe seemed innovative and exciting. Sadly it hasn't aged well. None of the three are compelling singers, and they lack the ability to plead for love effectively (anyone can demand love, but a true soulman has to convince a reluctant participant). Nor are they imaginative rappers--neither their words nor their delivery stand out. But this disc came before the likes of Missy Elliott, Puff Daddy, Jermaine Dupri, or Dallas Austin made a big impact on the scene. As such it's a fine document of black teenage lust during the Gulf War months. --Martin Johnson\n\nProduct description\n\nBell Biv Devoe ~ Poison\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002O6V\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002O6V.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:BELL BIV DEVOE\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
