My doodle of choice in high school was this graffiti version of the letters SBM which stood for &quot;Sensitive Black Man&quot; which was all because of Ralph Tresvant&#39;s drippy &quot;Sensitivity&quot;. I&#39;ve performed the entire routine from &quot;Poison&quot; at Spider with absolutely no shame. &quot;If It Isn&#39;t Love&quot; is one of my all time favorite songs and videos.<br /><br />I know all the words to &quot;Iesha&quot;. I spent hours of my junior high school life discussingg the finer points of the running man routine in &quot;Every Little Step&quot;.<br /><br />I even give Johnny Gill&#39;s goofy ass a pass.<br /><br />Not liking New Edition is a total deal breaker for me. I don&#39;t even know if I could look at you if you uttered unacceptable blasphemy towards Ronny, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny too. And that also includes Boys II Men, ABC, BBD - the East Coast Family.<br /><br />Word to the Mutha.<br /><br /></div> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://negroplease.vox.com/library/post/vox-hunt-rocked-my-world.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c10e0f6f1fd3b400cd970e1c5b4cd5?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> bbd new edition ralph tresvant vox hunt bobby brown boys ii men johnny gill rocked world another bad creation
