^^^^^^

tv-one is so stupid.

theyre not even mentioning hi-five on the commercial that theyre running, but theyre one of the artists who they should be milking the most this season.

all they keep yapping about on the commercial is montell, the emotions & martha wash.

best station going right now, but they need some young blood in those offices before they can take the next step as a company.

Next year we need

Tony Toni Tone
H-Town
Jodeci
Juvenile
Naughty By Nature
fukk it, Next as well

I don't even know what old school R&B group they haven't used yet. Maybe just focus on Gamble & Huff as a production team

jodeci is NOT unsung. but i wouldnt be surprised if they get an ep anyway.

im not sure about tony tone being unsung either.

i bet they recorded an eazy-e episode while they did the bone thug joint.

I didn't think Nile Rodgers was Unsung either. That was the worst timing ever. They put out an Unsung on him the week he's about to win Record of the Year at the Grammys

Looking forward to it. I fukked with them cats heavy as a youth

Looking forward to most of that list though, hopefully they cover thoroughly the emotions work with EWF.

this was also a really nice song off Tony's solo album.

That Tony solo is back to black SLAPPERS, doe.

I bought it on the strength of them puttin' the production credits on the back cover.
I'm glad they did because that mugg is bangin'...

'she's playing hard to get' was my song back in 7th grade


Prodigy's debut was on a Hi Five song

 

[Wacky D]

hi-five, h-town & intro all went out on tour together within the past couple years or whatnot.

man, that had to be depressing. at least they brought in Silk, to headline i guess.

i can dig it tho. all 3 of those groups seem to get left off the bigger throwback tours, i guess for obvious reasons. so its only right that they team up.

 

[Wacky D]

their albums are kinda hard to find but their greatest hits cd is unavoidable.

the greatest hits is like one of those old albums that you can find on bootleg. LITERALLY.

ehh.

their debut album isnt hard to find. i forgot about that one. my bad folks.

[Absolut da poet ®]

hi-5 is one of those groups that gets overlooked & forgotten. it kind of reminds me of the Oldhead 70s groups like the Dells, LTD, the Delfonics .. that prolly arent as popular with my generation as the Jackson 5, Earth, Wind & Fire or The Isley Bros.

Props on this thread cause I dont watch cable so i had no idea this was happening

RIP Tony Thompson (right?)
