With it's most boring line-up yet. The only one I'm even remotely interested in is The Boys. Not sure what Shirley Ceaser is doing here. She is a living Gospel legend.

Here is the lineup.

February 18 (Silk)

February 25 (The Boys)

March 4 (Trick Daddy)

March 11 (Blue Magic)

March 18 (Avant)

March 25 (Shirley Caesar)

April 8 (Deborah Cox)

April 15 (Brand Nubian)

While none of those particularly appeal to me, sometimes it's cool to learn about artists I'm not familiar with. I wish I still got that channel.

I'll definitely pass on Trick Daddy

I agree.It seems as if they have already covered all the great/exciting artists and so now they're just scraping the bottom of the barrel.From this list,I'm probably only gonna watch the Blue Magic episode.One of my favorite 70s soul groups.

They're not running out. You know how many artist there are lol.

But why feature artists from the 90s and 2000s? Why not... The Pointer Sisters Cheryl Lynn Sister Sledge Betty Davis The System

There are a whole slew of artists from the 70's, 80's and 90's they could feature. I have a feeling many of them have been approached but declined.

Side note- there's an old episode of Soul Train where Blue Magic does "Sideshow" and the lead singer does one of the coolest, yet most ackward, Robot-dancing during the intro. Check it out on YouTube when you get a chance.

They saved the best for last imo. Deborah Cox and Brand Nubian are the episodes I look forward to most. Deborah one of the best female vocalist in the business. Brand Nubian was one of the best rap groups in the business and came out in 1992 kicking ass but inner turmoil and conflict thwarted the groups success and led to members going solo before reuniting in 1998 for the awesome Foundation album. These guys didn't rap about bullshit or gimmicks to sell records. These guys were serious lyrical Mic gangsters along the lines of Gang Starr. Nothing to do with Gangsta rap. Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, and Sadat X were my dudes. [Edited 2/7/18 16:40pm]

^^^FACTS....Lord Jamar's "5% Album" back in 2006 was ill too...

Seven albums.

I kind of lost track after the fourth album. I think they started recording on independent

labels after the Love Sessions album.

Holy shit! THE HEAD DETECTIVE! Now if all those horrible one off SNL sketches got full features why didn't THE HEAD DETECTIVE get one? *mad props to the first one to say BLANKMAN,or MO MONEY

ILC not SNL (tho Damon was on SNL.)

Yes, I know. I was just referring to the fact that IF THEY got those horrible films on the big screen....WHY COULDN'T DAMON???? get the head detective?
I remember staying up till like 3 somtimes to watch OLD 80s episodes of SNL... it was pretty crappy during those years... strange music acts as well... and Damon with the moustache
