Don't Be Cruel turned Bobby Brown from the bad boy of New Edition into a global solo superstar. The best-selling album of 1989, Don't Be Cruel spun off five Top 10 hits-the title track (R&B #1/Pop #8), "My Prerogative" (R&B/Pop #1), "Roni" (R&B #2/Pop #3), "Every Little Step" (R&B #1/Pop #3), "Rock Wit'cha" (R&B #3/Pop #7)-an incredible run interrupted only by Bobby's own Ghostbusters II hit "On Our Own" (R&B #1/Pop #2). But perhaps even more important and culturally significant is how Don't Be Cruel, as a whole, brought a new sense of possibility to the music world. After Don't Be Cruel, it was not only acceptable-but expected-for Black music to fuse R&B with hip-hop. And "crossover" was no longer about making sounds tailored to the taste of white middle-class teens. It was now selling unadulterated Black youth culture to audiences around the world. Celebrate Don't Be Cruel's 35th Anniversary with the album's first-ever physical deluxe edition reissue, featuring 17 bonus tracks.
