This week's Unsung will spotlight on H-Town

Since they're doing this era, I'd rather see Zhane or Digable Planets than H-Town. Maybe Brand New Heavies.

Compared to Lakeside, they never hit the Pop top 40 (Fantastic Voyage highest at #55) and equalled H-Towns six top 20 R&B showings, in the span of seven years. Take That!

They did if you count Coolio

Coolio is Unsung also.

I think X-Clan or PM Dawn would be more interesting than him (or Arrested Development for that matter and they've had an episode)

PM Dawn, lol.

Here's Dres from Black Sheep talking about when PM Dawn got jumped by KRS-One while they were performing

Kwame (they did him right?)

Don't know, but I saw him speaking on the Kid n Play episode. I think I saw him on another one too, maybe Heavy D or Big Daddy Kane

I will not sit here and let you all talk about Houston's own H-Town. They were not 1 hit wonders. They had three top 40 Pop Hits and six top 20 R&B hits in a three year span. Compared to Lakeside, they never hit the Pop top 40 (Fantastic Voyage highest at #55) and equalled H-Towns six top 20 R&B showings, in the span of seven years. Take That!

Why Dino always sung gritty like he was on the toilet taking a crap?

Him and Lyfe Jennings would have made a good team.

This one should be interesting but it'll probably be sad too. I vaguely remember that one of the group members died violently a few years ago.

They are the black Color Me Badd.

What are you talking about? CMB had a black member Kevin Thornton & a Latino too - Mark Calderon. At any rate, they were on TV last night with Brad Paisley.

That was Dino.

Lol, but foreal. I know people remember their cover of "Thin Line Between Love & Hate" from the movie with Martin Lawrence. And also the songs "They Like It Slow" and "Emotions."

The best part of this video was the teaser graphic at the end that said that Tanya Morgan would be interviewed on the Oct. 27 (last Tues.) show. For those that don't know, Tanya Morgan is a great hip hop group out of Brooklyn. Check out there last joint- "Rubber Souls".

Sorry to derail this thread...

Didn't they show this a lot on Bounce TV? Maybe not since Richard Pryor wasn't in it.

Great episode. Erie at Dino writing the song "The Day I Die" 2 weeks before his death.

Wasn't it, boy talk about a premonition! After the show, I looked up the song on youtube and listened to it in it's entirety, and it was just so sad.

Agreed. Good and balanced participation from Luke as well.

Don't know if it's been suggested here, but Luke really deserves his own Unsung. Didn't realize how much there was to his career until watching the H-Town Unsung and then, a few hours later, catching the 30-For-30 on ESPN about Univ. of Miami back in the day.

But yeah, H-Town's was a good Unsung.
