Three of New Edition's six — Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe — gone solo and pivoting hard into New Jack Swing on the way out the door. 'Poison' (1990) is one of the perfect singles of its year, an Eric B. & Rakim-era hip-hop-meets-R&B blueprint that helped define what NJS even was. 'Do Me!' kept the streak going. And, as the song correctly warned us at the time, you really shouldn't trust a big butt and a smile. Hall of Fame for the Roxbury contribution alone.
