This Monday is the season finale of Unsung and its gonna end it with a hip hop bang with an ep devoted to

WHODINI

Hell 2 the yes baby!

Frankenstein was over there with some crazy lookin chick

i think he said her name was voo doo on a stick

Haunted House of Rock

Yay!!! They should have been the 1st or close to it for an Unsung, IMHO. They were one of the 1st rap groups to blow up and their sound was on the cusp of the very old school vs what was to come.

Can't wait!

Definitely looking forward to this one. Loved them growing up and still love them today.

That dude with the hat was fine!! Freaks Come Out at Night

Wasn't some break dancers and Jermaine Dupri in that video?

Yeah, you're right

One of my favorites from them was 5 Minutes of Funk.

Their story intrigues me more because they were painted as the clean cut guys

of hip hop but apparently looking at the clips and promos these guys weren't

as clean cut behind the scenes as we would think. Jalil seems to have gone through

some stuff.

Bounce showed the episode with them performing the other morning... leather jacket, shorts and boots.

Whodini's episode up in 40 minutes.

Something wasn't right. I got turned off because I couldn't understand the speech at all. They never really got my full attention when they came out, but I respect them as innovators.

I'll watch it online later, but that snippet of him talking just looked strange to me

What? Jalil got Bobby Brown jaw? Maybe I can check it out later online today

Glad they mentioned that Whodini were the first rap group to earn a platinum album. I think RUN-DMC were next afterwards.

Whodini had a lot of good songs. The group had problems with their old label over money. They showed Jermaine Dupri dancing for them when he was a kid. Later on, Dupri gave them a deal. Kangol and Doctor Ice from U.T.F.O. used to be their dancers. Doctor Ice is Jalil's brother. They admit to drugs being around in those days, & it looks like it too. Ectasy and Jalil live in Atlanta now.

Yes. Ecstasy used to get a little peeved that historians would fuck up and not credit them

as the first platinum rap act. Run DMC always got the credit. Anyway Whodini were my favorite rap act in the early 80's. I am actually digging on the Escape album now. They

were the first rap act i went to see live on the fresh fest tour. I thought it was interesting

that Chuck D was inspired by Whodini. I was digging Run DMC at the time too but Whodini

just brought a whole different vibe to the rap game at the time. Watching the Unsung episode i got to see why there was such a delay from the group after the Open Sesame

album. It was sad to see Jalil speech somewhat slurred from perhaps drug use but he

seems to be well enough these days to perform. This is one group who i never thought

would have gotten caught up in the drug world because they always came off as clean

cut and intelligent and their songs were songs that your parents could listen to.

When I saw their story last night, I thought "wow, they gave Run, D and them TOO much credit."
