MUSIC VIDEO: H-TOWN ft. JODECI - “KNOCKIN YOUR HEELS OFF”
Monday, October 26, 2009
Hit 90s R&B group H-Town (Solomon “Shazam” Conner, Darryl “G.I.” Jackson), are back this year with a new single “Knockin’ Your Heels”. The single is the 1st off their upcoming new album “Child Support”. Above is the official music video for the single, which features the former members of Jodeci (K-CI & JoJo, Devante, Mr. Dalvin).
Hate to say it, but some people need to know when to hang it up. This looks like a parody video and what is going on with Devante?!!

WOW>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Still LMAO!!!!
Why H-Town always want to be “Knockin” something??? Maybe someone should have knocked them upside the head when they wanted to sing this awful song. I wish my man would put this crap on! No. No. and No. again.
They tried, but was a complete fail. Whomp-Whomp.
LMAO

T BOZ must be thanking Jesus she left that crackhead Devante.
Dang! They just picked him off the streets and put him in the studio in less than a minute shot the viedo before cleaning him up a lil bit.
They coulda just sat in some sofa and sang for real….much better than them jumping around like some addicts.
Where do I even begin….they better just end it right now.
THIS IS WHY I LOVE BOYS11MEN! Class that never dies.
They just ruined my 90s moment right here.
Take this ish down please…

This is for the grown and sexy, I like the song I think 85% of the people on her are teenyboppers hyped with T-pain and etc. This is real R&B Silk, Keith Sweat, Kut Klose, Blackstreet and so on. Chris Brown, Llyod and Neyo are the only ones that can make good R&B songs the rest of that crap is garage hyped up full of money making and studio fakeness.

This song is really good. I don’t care how old they are and what they look like. These dudes can sing. This is better than most of the shit out today.
That’s what’s wrong with the music business today. It’s all visual, and what’s in style. Nevermind if the people can sing.

I’m certainly in the minority here, but I really like the song; I just chose not to watch the video until after listening. They can still really sing and it’s not a bad song. I will be downloading it for my iPod. Like someone said earlier, I miss real r&b; I think we’ve forgot what that’s like. And… WHERE IN THE HELL IS FANTASIA? I’m ready for real soul people and not that manufactured soul stuff out here.

LMAO this shit is too funny, they are just wrong for this video!
Angel you are so right THEY REALLY NEED TO HANG IT UP!
During the pacman scene their hand gestures were so funny!
I wish them all the best but they really need to come much better than that…….by getting vocal training and not looking so desperate for a hit record!
Again, during the pacman scene you can see Shazam looking at someone that’s giving him pointers on how to move.

There definitely not real R&B with that garbage song!
Why is Dalvin dancing like he’s drunk!
Mr. Devante looks like a straight up crackhead…….I used to be so in love with him!
JoJo was just there in the video to be looked at in the video!
LMAO!
102.
KEEP IT 100
Monday, October 26, 2009 /
AND WHY EXACTLY DO THEY NEED TO HANG IT UP?
THEY STILL SOUND BETTER THAN TREY SONGZ AND JEREMIH BUT PEOPLE ON THIS SITE STILL WORSHIP THEM.
YES DEVANTE LOOKS LIKE THE CRYPT KEEPER BUT HE WAS NEVER THE VOICE OF THE GROUP ANYWAY.
IS IT JUST ME OR WAS JOJO NOT IN THE VIDEO? I DIDN’T SEE HIM.
SHAZAM LOOKS GOOD WITH THE BALD HEAD. I MISS HIS BROTHER THOUGH (R.I.P. DINO)
THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE SCRAPPED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT WAS WHACK BUT THEY ARE STILL TALENTED.

OK NOW I GREW UP LISTENING TO JODECI AND I HAVE HEARD OF H-TOWN OR WHAT NOT…..BUT….I AM TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED. HEY CAN’T EXPECT ALOT FROM CRACK HEADS. LOL ALTHOUGH THE SONG IS NOT COMPLETELY BAD THE VIDEO WAS TERRIBLE AND THEY COULD HAVE MAYBE WRITTEN SOMETHING ELSE. ITS SO MYCH THAT I CAN SAY ABOUT THE ACTUAL VIDEO IT RIDICULOUS!!!

Firstly, it’s sad to see the horrible physical condition of these artists. They appear broken down on life, drugs, and alcohol. Secondly, the song’s title is innapropriate, especially considering the age of this group late 30’s, early 40’s. I’m sorry, I don’t want to hear a mature man singing to me about KNOCKING MY HEALS off. Finally, the production is comical, from poor looking Devante in the begginning to K-CI AND JOJO throughout. And who are the 2 guys in the video from HTOWN? I don’t remember them being a part of the original group.
106.
Surprise
Monday, October 26, 2009 /
The song isn’t bad. I agree with #6 it’s definately ot he same without Dino (RIP) OMG DeVante does look like a crack head, my feelings are hurt now. DAMN I used to think he was cute. although, you have to admit KCI still can blow. It’s a damn shame they went out like that. They may be able to come back especially with the younger generation that doesn’t know any better.

first let me thank everyone for their hilarious comments. after the day i had at work it was nice to have a gut-busting laugh!
my favorite things about this video: K-Ci in an ascot (while on the roof) & the H-town dudes’ embroidered jackets (makes me want to dust off my jacket from high school). I love how they were facing the wall & the dude on the left was counting & had to point to the other guy so he’d turn around… wow, choreography!
i would rather remember h-town from the good ol’ days of knocking the boots… not this!

Call me crazy, but I actually like it. I couldn’t quite see the vid, cuz I was playing it on my phone while in the store, but they sound really good…the topic was a bit weird at first, but it got catchy…that’s how R&B music was in the 90’s…shoot “Knockin the boots” would sound crazy cuz everyone is so electronical now… but I like it…”The Pacman”was a bit funny at the end thought!

1. Who gives a rat’s ass about Devante. He wrote and produced the songs. He always just kinda said of few words which is exactly what he did here. If he wants to kill himself, there is nothing ANYBODY can do. He has to want help. Hopefully seeing himself on camera like that will make him see the light, or not.
2. The song wasn’t that bad. I don’t think many of you can distinguish between vocals and looks. If you did, pretty wouldn’t be a talent. The song was ok actually and the vocals were on POINT!!!!!!! K-Ci still got the chops.
On a scale of 1-5, I give it a 3. Nothing great, but not as bad as some of you are claiming either.

Vocally, they still have it. I think the song is well-arranged, but poorly written though. I wouldn’t say - hang it up. I would, however, suggest that artists show that they’ve matured and sing songs relavent to that process. “Knockin’ your heals off…c’mon!”

They making me think they did this song to score money for drugs. SMH.
I suspect that they’re all on drugs and until proven wrong, that’s the story I’m sticking to. Shazam looked cracked out! Eyes all bagged up & dark, breathe & teeth looking like he hadn’t brushed em since their last album. Ugh! KC & Jojo has been on that sh!t for a good minute and we all know it. G.I. should have tried doing a solo career cause trying to pop back up on the scene with all them dope-heads isn’t a good look for him. You’re only as good as the company you keep. Damn it can we get our good singers back without the drugs? The thrill is gone.

I think some people are just jumping on the bandwagon to what Angel said. I agree with the minority in this post, although H-Town and Jodeci have had much better songs this one isn’t bad at all and the song at the end wasn’t bad either. Both groups have always been known to sing raunchy slow jams with crazy metaphors, this type of song from them is nothing new. Devante looks faded years ago, and K-Ci is always animated in whenever he sings in concert or video where have y’all been? A lot y’all are late as hell or was just too young to remember their glory days lol. But I do agree Dino (R.I.P.) was the spark to H-Town. He was fine as hell and he could blow. Oh well I think this was a ok job at coming back on the scene. I’d take this any day over some of the music that passes for R&B in this era. Oh yeah and where was Jo Jo? I didn’t see him the video.

I’m buying the song and I support it. There’s nothing wrong with this song at all. These singers have some of the best voices, and still got it. They might not look the same, but ever last one of these singers on this track will blow neyo, chris brown, usher, trey songz, etc, all out the water based soley on voice quality….
I do not consider Angel the authority to good music…I said this before, but Angel it’s so funny how you freely give your opinions on some artist, but there are others, you won’t say anything about, even if the song is pure unadulterated CRAP….that tells me you show favoritism, and that’s not right…What, you aint got nothing to lose for clowning an old group? They can’t do nothing for you? They’re nobody and you don’t predict them making a comeback, so you don’t predict needing them….If you’re going to be unbiased, then you should just post the topics and let others have the opinions……If you’re going to have an opinion, then be opinionated and truthful about everything you post; don’t hold back cause they invited you to an event, perhaps you have made friends with them, blah blah blah…

Devante been fucked up since the 90s when Jodeci was big. The other members as well but Devante more because he was the one always hiding behind shades. SMDH@ the album title being called Child Support. The baby mama blues LOL LOL!! Why is K-Ci more of the main focus when it’s H Town’s song? Shazzam actually looks good with the weight gain and bald head. Don’t mind them coming back but this song is not it. RIP Dino. You are very missed!

this is a sad day in r&b history indeed. i cannot believe i am old enough to have witnessed these groups in their prime and now, courtesy of concrete loop, their disheartening eddie kang, jr. moment. k-ci’s voice has seen better days, the girls in the video could be their kids and poor devante — what is really going on? they are too old for these lyrics, wearing shades throughout 90% of the video and the rooftop sing-off. dino’s voice was powerful and soulful, but i wouldn’t want him to be part of this unfortunate collaboration and comeback attempt. i’m sure it’s hard but you gotta know when to bow out gracefully,,,here’s to hoping the rest of their songs are better
i digress: did anyone else give h-town the side eye when they dropped “knockin’ boots for christmas?” thinking about it still makes me giggle.

They sounded like old men singing because their voices are extra scratchy. I also agree w/the others drugs really ruined DeVante’s looks!

H-Town will never b the same since the passing of Dino. I think they are one of the most underrated R&B groups of the 90’s….listen to “Beggin’ After Dark” hands down one of the best baby making CDs there is…But on that not WTF happened? Shazaam and GI are the only clean looking ones in the entire video…they shouldn’t have even had Jodeci on the track! I swear when i was like 10 DeVante could get it now all him and the other members of Jodeci can get from me is the # to someone who could hook em up with a dime bag….SMH

I wanted to avoid viewing this video( I read the tweets) that Angel and “Fresh” over at Crunk-had “tweeted”. I thought since they were clowing the video-I didn’t need to see it to know it was going to be a a BIG BAG OF WRONG!!!!!!!
With that being said….why is Devante looking like the Cyrpt keeper-REAL TALK!!!!
AND WHY –was it necessary to come with KNOCKIN YOUR HEELS OFF! The only thing that the members of H-town have been knockin is food!!!!!
And why the disclaimer at the end of the video? Ummmmm-WHY!??????
And what’s up with the PAC-man reference-that again implies “eating”-SMH
Do me a favor and go back to whatever it was you were doing before y’all go t together to do this mockery of a video!

The truth is the song is good and the video is great! Unfortunately not everyone is a quiter and a loser like most of yall commenting negatively!! Now run back to yall nine to fives and warehouse Jobs and let these stars do what G.O.D put em here to do!!! HATERSSSS!!!!!
