I think the criteria for Unsung is, you have to have at least a few hit albums... at least a bit of a few year run...

Special Ed? he had one album, then :manny:
H-Town had a few hits... not enough to string together an hour special.

...not anymore than I consider Big Daddy Kane unsung.

Again, I'm just going off the criteria they BEEN using. Cause IMO, neither BDK nor EPMD are unsung, but they covered them.

That's why Rakim is likely next. We KNOW he ain't unsung, but he fits the same criteria as BDK and EPMD.

IMO, Kool Moe Dee isn't unsung, either....but they covered him.

oh so if we goin by their standards I'm lookin forward to Rakim

Kool Moe Dee's was more in depth than I thought

good series

catch em when I can

The Passage of Time
Unsung Criteria based on watching 95% of the episodes.

Meteoric Rise
at least a 3 to 5 year sustainable run
group turmoil or personal tragedy or financial disaster or drugs
filler material that lead to some pseudo redemption or recovery.

I just hate that Unsung never put the re-run of The Bar-Kays on and I can't find it anywhere to view.

Maybe Gang Starr. They didn't have a ton of commercial success but as a group and individually they had great careers. Plus the internal beef and Guru's death covers the dramatic part of the story

for soul/r&b, jodeci is the obvious choice although if they don't get into the whole death row and rape/kidnapping drama (which they most likely won't) than it's fukkin worthless. shyt a devante only episode alone would be some :lawd::ohlawd::leon::wtf: shyt.

i'd say blackstreet or teddy riley just because of all the fukkery that teddy has been involved with over the years between Guy, Blackstreet and his solo work with artists.

as far as hip-hop goes, slick rick deserves one IMO. tribe is a given but their documentary already came out and although it left ALOTTA shyt out that fans wanted explanations about i doubt they would do one for them since their flick came out.

prince paul would be good cause of his history and his interesting personal, but he prolly is even too low profile for a show like "Unsung". i'd love to a pharcyde one too cause all the drama and stories i done heard about them brawling in the studio while jay dee was making beats would make for a very interesting documentary and fat lip is a crazy ass nikka.
