"Poison" and "Hold On" by En Vogue made my year in 1990, I turned 20!!! One was for dancing/fashion and the other was for singing 😂😂😂😂

Think about this. Bell Biv Devoe's success and style was the precursor to Jodeci. The raw sound, and outfits set the stage for Jodeci to storm the scene and they took the baton and run to the next level.

My Poison story.. I’m an NE4LIFE fan since 1983. I went to Norfolk State University in the fall of 1990, hit my dorm room and turned on the radio. I was listening so confused and was like yo.. this record is fire 🔥 who is this? I heard them shoutout Bobby Ralph and Johnny and lost my shit when I said is this Rickey, Ron and Mike?

Every time I hear POISON I cant help but think of talent shows. Soooo many groups back then would perform to that song.

Mike really big up his brothers. Got to love em. One of the coolest in the game.

I was 11 years old in 1990, and Poison by far was the most incredible song that year!

I love the journey Mike takes us on about BBD and NE. What an engaging conversationalist. Love it!

The most anticipated record of my lifetime hearing every DJ start every show with we don’t have the record yet!!! Phone lines blowing up!! Requesting Poison!!!

Those Bart Simpson shirts and filas. The 90s were a good time...

They need a BBD movie or series; just like “The New Edition Story and Bobby Brown Story”

Back then Donnie Simpson and Video Soul was the place to break a record!!!

I still remember I first heard poison early in the morning about 8am on mtv I was in 2nd grade. I watched the video right b4 I left for school. Super memorable lol

This is by far my FAVORITE interview besides the Mic Geronimo interview. It’s GOLD….

For some reason I can listen to Bro tell stories all day

BBD was the true first R&B/Hip successful crossover. That time was awesome for N.E. everyone was successful

That was my first commercial arts gig working with Shirt King Phade. Those were some great times.

Micheal Bivins is a Class Act 👏🏽

BBD Johnny Gill & KEITH SWEAT Oakland Coliseum 1991 was lit.

Daaaamn Mike took me back when he said Roger's Park. I played my middle school girls basketball championship game at Rogers Park. My moms drove my dad's truck and picked up all my cousins from Compton and Watts to come see me WIN. Yeah we beat Crozier for the championship.. Rogers Park is where some of the best ball players Inglewood play pick up games. Mad memories, thanks Math ✨. I'm now 48 in 2 months.. Good times💃..I will never forget the 25¢ lunchtime dances at Monroe Junior high, and all they played was Bobby Brown, and BBD..

This was one of the BEST interviews yo! When artist did some REAL groundwork. Salute!

AMAZING!! I wish math would ask how did they manage to not get caught up in the typical industry scandals. Of course not Bobby but the other members lol.

Loves this. Just shows you never know till you know and when you know nothing can stop you! Big ups to Big Ron Devoe 👏🏾

Love BBD!!!!💙💙💙💙💙

Poison was the hottest song in 1990. Math hoffa right everybody had the Bart Simpson shirts. What a time to be alive.

I heard it at work and 1990 saw them in Great America .

LEGENDARY✊🏿

MIKE BIV!! LIVING LEGEND⚘️⚘️🙏🏾✊🏾

I was in the Air Force stationed in Germany when Poison hit. I used to DJ clubs on the weekend. Between Poison, MC Hammer You Can't Touch This and JG My My My, the club was ALWAYS jumpin.

Mike B got swagga for days!😊

The last few seconds made alot of sense. In other words, while the money was being screwed up, the talent was still strong. So, let me break it down "No matter what level of price you put on a fine wine it doesn't change the taste".

Another great one

It's those snares on "Poison" that's epic. That music production on that song is out of this world on another level.

Poison was my shet but later in the years Something in your eyes and smile again was another best hit from Bell Biv Devoe

Big NE fan. I lived way out in the country and we just got cable. A channel called Movie Time was pivoting into doing more than movie trailer previews, later they became E! Entertainment TV. One of the first songs they rolled out with was BBD's Poison. That video set it off🔥

For some reason, this CLIP RIGHT HERE HIT DIFFERENT Hoffalicious🗽🗽🗽🗽 DAMN, I FELT THIS. This is UP THERE UP THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta respect Biv 🫡man. He’s bigging up everyone involved all interview long. 👍🏾

I remember when poison dropped it was the summer 1990. My next door neighbor has the tape.and l cant forget do me. Those were the days in Brooklyn sunset park area 430 49st between 4 and 5 Avenue. That was my block. I miss that block till this day.

Before I played the video I said, “he had to be talking about Poison.” 😀

When 'Posion' hit it was a like sonic tidal wave. The video, the drip, the swag was on 1,000,000. Then they had the dancers. I was just getting into middle school but even that young, I knew it was some next level shit.

I was 3 going on four when Poison first came out. Funny that Mike mentioned Inglewood because that's where me and my mom were living at the time. In fact,it was one of the first songs I've learned verbatim and I remember an older cousin of mine had brought the cassette single to the crib. From there,I was hooked.

Yep, Video Soul that was the first time I heard the song and saw the video.

Bumping can you stand the rain and if it isn't love rightnow, new edition is the truth sheesh

The BIV in Bell BIV Devoe and a great label ext for many years.
