You think that nikka deserves an Unsung episode?
Who Else Do You Want UNSUNG To Do A Documentary On?
- Thread starter Wacky D
- Start date
Boogie Down Productions
The Juice Crew (could take the place of that movie that's never coming out.)

AZ and G Rap as someone mentioned would be good..
Course he does, he pretty much is the personification of what the show is about, someone Unsung.
You still gotta be someone who was on some level of reverance... Unsung is mostly artists who made big waves and had big hits but over time haven't been as revered as others. Like, there'll never be a Whitney Houston Unsung, or a Jay-Z Unsung... but there'll also likely never be a Christion Unsung or an O.C. Unsung. To me, Rick James is kinda pushin' it, but most of the artists they feature are ones that everyone knows but don't always have their stories told in documentaries and such (i.e. Whodini, DeBarge, Bobby Womack, etc...). K-Rino is like, waaaay low on that totem pole, lol...
K-Rino has a HUGE level of reverence, he is hugely revered, and is Unsung. He is a Hip Hop pioneer as he released 1 of the first records to come out of Houston, if I'm correct the 2nd. He is the founder of the SPC and is revered, admired and respected by artists such as Scarface, Bun B, Z-Ro, Trae Tha Truth, Killer Mike, Willie D and could go on for days. But a program like this would be absolutely made for K-Rino. Cause you don't know or like him doesn't mean he isn't a legend, a lot of people see him as a straight up certified legend. Scarface said he was the best rapper from Houston, Bun B said he was the greatest battle rapper ever, Z-Ro said he is the hardest rapper period, Killer Mike said he would put him on his greatest list. He would be the absolute perfect candidate for the show.
If rap is basketball, K-Rino is Manigault. Sure, Kareem can say he's the best he ever played against. That being said, he never made the pros or stole the show on the big stage or got that chance to play against the legends... and so, yeah, he's unsung in many ways. But he's also unsung because he never made it big enough to have his praises sung in the first place. Every region has a K-Rino, to be fair. But given the context of this show in particular, would K-Rino be an artist up for discussion? Probably not.
It's not a knock on him. I'm just saying it's highly unlikely.

The show is about an artist that's unsung, he's unsung so.. Lol. He obviously did make it big enough to have his praises sung because his praises are sung. Not by the mainstream, but I'd rather have the respect of the people I mentioned and the likes of DJ Premier than a bunch of Drake/Young Thug followers. KRS put it best...
"I'd rather have 1000 real heads behind me, than 1 million of y'all fake fanatics behind me"
I paraphrase, but something like that.
He should be up for discussion, will it happen? I agree with you there, most probably not. I didn't expect it to though, but he's 1 of many artists who would be deserving, fit the mould and it would be interesting. And educational too.

K-Rino can walk around any mall in America besides maybe the Galleria in Houston and won't have to worry about anyone recognizing him or asking for an autograph

this reads like hes more of a local underground legend. nobody is dissin k-rhino. youre just taking the term "unsung" too literally breh.
unsung is really just code-word for huge acts whose legacies were either brushed aside because they made black musc or because theyre not cliqued up with the right people behind the scenes.
to take it further, you mentioned AZ & kool g. rap, and i'd love to see those but i doubt we'll ever get an episode on them. and theyre much bigger names than k-rhino.
check out the list of episodes. practically everybody that had an ep had huge careers. and the ones that didnt were close enough and had a controversial story to compensate.

He's not just a local underground legend. I just mentioned a few names that were relevant as his episode would also feature him talking about being a Houston legend and pioneer also. As that's 1 of the imprints he made. He also has done shyt on a worldwide basis, still doing international tours. I don't see why they have to be a huge act, K-Rino's legacy was brushed aside or tried to be stopped because he was pro black, the nation of Islam, beefs with local radio and other aspects. No, I agree with you, I didn't expect a K-Rino episode, I just said it would be dope, as would AZ and G Rap, I don't expect them either unfortunately, but G Rap should be a name in consideration.
all those names were from texas, except killer mike who looks like hes from texas. thats why i said it reads like a bio of a local legend. nothing wrong with that. i like k-rhino.
i dont like the way tv-one brushes off kool g.rap whenever his name is mentioned in these docs. like on big daddy kane's joint, and when........supahead had her episode on "life after"(do they still make episodes for that show?) on the supahead joint, they referred to him as a young up-n-coming rapper or some chit.
out the juice crew, roxanne shante & biz markie have a better chance of getting episodes than kool g rap.
out of the firm, nas & foxy brown will definiely get an episode. AZ prolly wont even get considered, SADLY.
