Just because they were classics to you doesn't mean they were classic to everyone else. Shai sold more records than H-Town and have 2 platinum albums which H-Town doesn't.

yea he was
that song Shai had "If I Ever" was a HUGGGEEEE hit...that was one of the biggest songs of the 90's.
lol @ luda being bigger than jeezy. this is where the disconnect lies.
I know all about shai homie. knockin da boots was bigger than that song.
I don't make statements like that based on just my opinion. surely, you would know that by now.
h-town's 1st 2 joints are generally regarded as classics. the 2nd one already had the classic tag before I even heard it. shai's debut is a certified classic as well. but if you really follow r&b, you'd know that they were considered done once they dropped their 2nd album. it got no luv. it doesn't matter how many records they may have sold. nastradamus went platinum as well. was that album not chitted on?
also, if you know about h-town, you know that luke f*cked them over and they were getting sabotaged by their label to the point that alot of their own die-hard fans didn't know that their 2nd album was out until like 6 months after it dropped.
all I can say is that sometimes you just have to be there. you cant measure things by just sales.....or stats.

I think you should make a thread about this in TLR and do a poll. I'd be surprised if the majority would agree with you that H-Town was more popular.
shai isn't even considered.
they were a one album wonder. and like I said, these groups were on tour together, so the proof is in the pudding!!!!!! this is like saying method man was hotter than dmx in '99.i'll say this much. shai's debut album is generally held in higher regard than any h-town album, but they clearly were never as popular. and that's not a knock on shai.
besides, I have a better thread going right now. click that link.
H-Town's legacy is one big hit and a few moderate hits... let's be real here bruh. You tryna put them up there like it was Boyz II Men, then Jodeci, then... H-Town. Stop that man 
If you gonna throw H-Town in the mix like that, you might as well throw any group from the 90s that had a couple albums and a handful of hits in that same mix. I remember all their singles, but it ain't like all them shyts were mega hit records that you couldn't get away from. The only one that was really that big was "Knockin Da Boots", the rest were songs that got some nice radio play and maybe made top 10 on Video Soul.
If you gonna put them up there, then let's put Hi-Five, Silk, Shai, Immature, etc., etc. too...
If we were talkin' about hip-hop, H-Town would be like bringing up Das EFX... While Wu-Tang, Bone Thugs, Outkast, Naughty, ATCQ, etc. are being discussed.

the one thing that songs had back then, that's missing now are memorable hooks

the 1st statement is you putting words on my keyboard. I never said that.
its impossible to have mega-hits if the label isn't pushing them like that. I can name alot of groups that would've been bigger if they had uptown or laface behind them. whats your point? and yes, silk is another group. hi-five had the big hits actually. people are just reluctant to give them but so many props because they were a teen group.
and in h-town's case, their label was hell-bent on sabotaging they chit.
and that hip-hop analogy was horrible. you need to take your own advice. yall in the other thread saying that it was jodeci, boyz II men and then everyone else. well, when wutang & bone were out, it was just them and then everybody else. plus, naughty & tribe had already peaked before wu & bone even came out. so now you just meshing eras. just sloppy you are.
