H-Town(The R&B group) Apperciation thread

[DaHNIC82]

Continuing the trend of classic R&B albums being talked about. I'm surprised nobody mentioned H-Town. Dino Conner(R.I.P) had one of the best voices in the game. He didn't sound like anybody that was out at the time and the trio put out so many classics during their short period. Putting a H-Town album would guaranteed to get a bytch ready to go. Knockin Da Boots, Keepin My Composure, Backseat, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate remake, Lick You Up. Part Time Lover from Above the Rim. These dudes did their thing for a short period. I hated how that they got caught up with the shyt with Luke because that took alot of their momentum.

Even H-Town's last album was solid. Dino's When I Die joint was

my all-time favorite r&b artists.

H-Town was dope...they kind of had a grimy, gritty R&B sound. Dropped some classics definitely..

I love Jodeci. And I love some of their albums.

And I love Knockin da Boots. But I've never heard a full H-Town album.

Are you telling me that H-Town has an album on the level of Forever My Lady, Diary of a Mad Band, and Show the After Party the Hotel?

I am going to make an H-Town greatest hits album this weekend - off of the strength of this thread though.

I'm not feeling all the downing of Jodeci to big up H Town....But that aside....H Town was another example of Lukes genius....They did a song called "They Like It Slow" that was HQ music.

the bolded albums were all about the singles.

there were a good number of groups that made better albums than jodeci in '91-94.

h-town's 1st 2 albums are classics. only one arguable skipper on their 1st album. 2nd album had 1 filler and maybe 1 or 2 arguable skippers out of like 22 tracks.
