Poison “Never trust a big butt and a smile” You know we still use this quote, am I lying? Thank you! What can one say about this classic anthem? Throw it on in any club today and I guarantee a full to capacity crowd on the dance floor. If you weren’t wearin’ this one out in the summer of 1990. you must have been in a coma. Bell Biv Devoe was comprised of New Edition members Ricky Bell, Michael Bivens and Ronnie DeVoe. “Poison” was the first single taken from their debut album as its’ title track. This single was huge for BBD landing at number one on the Billboard Hot R&B Hot singles and number three on the Hot 100. The song samples Kool G. Raps’ “Poison” of 1989 with his voice being heard saying poison throughout the song. With everybody jumping on the “New Jack Swing” style, with”Poison” BBD delivered a hard-edged, raw blend of R&B/funk and hip-hop. “Poison” is without doubt a new jack swing classic and among the best the style has to offer. While all the cookie cutters were trying to immulate Guy, Bell Biv Devoe proved to be one of the few real innovators of “New Jack Swing.”

I’m sure the Tweeter above was only Joshing when he put this out into the Twitterverse but way up on the list of rules, you know like 4079 spots above that other rule, you don’t ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, *Smokey voice* ask someone for their sounds. For the record please do not send the politically correct sampling police to execute a search warrant on me, I meant every word of what I said when I said his sounds and I will gladly welcome any debate on the merits of sampling/digital production vs. traditional any day of the week. But I digress… (more…)

Between earthquakes in Chile, health care debates and US senators saying, “Tough sh*t” regarding the extension of unemployment benefits, budget deficit California wants to do something that will really change the fate of all these important issue. Pass a “Cuss Free Week” resolution through the Senate. When I heard that I was like, “WTF!!!” What do you mean no cussing for a week?!? Are you kidding me?!?! Just because some 14-year-old conducts an experiment about cussing doesn’t mean you need to pass it through the Senate!!! Hell, people are looking for work, they need to cuss. Don’t take away the one “free” privilege they have.

Now, I’ve thought about this and honestly, I don’t know how this will work. Let me give you some examples:

• What do you say when you hit your pinky toes…………Oh shoot?

• You catch your partner cheating…………..Oh heck no, mutha fluffy?

• Your kids break the new plasma (52 inch)?

Yeah, I see ya forming the cuss words right now on that last option. LOL!

However, I’m not gonna be a bad sport about it. I’ll place my $7.00 in a jar Monday morning and dedicate this throwback video: (more…)
