Brown, a former lead vocalist with New Edition (he was replaced by Johnny Gill, but both men participate in most NE reunions) has an appealing, if somewhat grainy, voice. It's a good match for the hip-hop beats that underpin some of the best songs here, especially \"My Prerogative,\" which at the time sounded like an anthem. His ability to deftly merge R\u0026amp;B's upscale and hip-hop street esthetic (both Teddy Riley and Babyface produce tracks on this CD) changed the role of the rake hero. Sadly, this was Brown's lone significant musical moment as a solo artist. Except for marrying Whitney Houston, his life since has become a skein of self-destructive activities. --Martin Johnson\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002PHV\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B000002PHV.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bobby Brown\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Recycle4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49690034012458,"sku":"GGV.B000002PHV.LN","price":10.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_0ba70016-787b-448d-91a5-be41f9dc29ac.jpg?v=1733860643","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/dont-be-cruel","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
