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?!!

NOOOOooooOOOo!!!!! Why does it seem so ameture and desperate!!! The guy talking in the beginning looks like he’s addicted to something. I so want real music and real r&b to come back, but this won’t do it. ROTFL at the “pac man” hand gesture and the pac man crunch sound at the end lol wow!

They need to take notes from Joe and maxwell.
90’s artists who aged well without all the drugs and alcohol.
Damn at Jodeci.

WOOOOOOOOOW (in Flava Flav’s voice)!!! I am to through with Devante’s rotted teeth… They should NOT have let him be in the intro… OMGosh… I can’t believe it… The song is pretty decent but I do think it may be time for them to hang up…

I like the song!!! I do miss the OLD Devante but it’s time for R&B to step back up and become good music again. Maybe they can school the Rhianna’s and T-Pains, and other no talent muppets that are invading the industry!

I would like to dog the entire thing, but honestly the song is not bad.
Devante really looks like an addict, he ghetto’d the whole video with his appearance.
The other 2 from Htown seem like background singers, sorry to say, But without Devante it would have been ok.

And responding to many of you who are putting Rihanna and Tpain in the R&B catagory, they are not. They are pop singers. I don’t even think there is any real R&B singers out there today. Maybe Mary J, or Keyshia Cole. Thats whats missing today, some real true R&B artist.

mmmmm.
that just reminded me of:
#1….how old i am, and…..
#2….never to touch drugs.
the song doesn’t sound THAT bad, but i wish i had listened to it prior to seeing the video.
i…..man…..i just don’t know what to say about those Jodeci boys.
and shazam actually looks okay with the bald head.
hold on….why is this featuring “Jodeci” and K-Ci is the only one they show singing?
mmmm. i guess.

The production is not half bad….
BUT them old, rusty ass negros need to stop it…stop it right now.
Devante looked a smoked out fool in the beginning.
All in all this is just a hot, crock pot mess…

This song so reminds me of the 90’s i so sick of the music that they call “R&B” these days. I swear the 90,s was the best decade. They may not look good but they sure as heck sound GOOD!!!

Lol @ the video .. so “amateurish” .. and the video ruined the song for me. If I had listened to the song first I MIGHT have though it was somewhat okay but now .. the video and the song are whack - as well as their ‘dance’ moves.
And I’m assuming from the comments that the guy talking in the beginning is Devante? Well his grill sure is jacked up.
I’m 18 and I would MUCH rather have the old 90’s tunes come back .. people think ‘young people’ don’t know what real music is and what not but that is so not true. I would prefer the older artists to come back instead of most of these newer artists

I usually dont comment, but this video was too funny. Had 2 watch twice. Like everyone said Devante looks like shit. This negro look 50.
The sing off on the rooftop was too funny
but what got me was the 2nd part them turned around facing the brick wall
hell naw.
RIP Dino!!!!!!!

The song feels a little 1998-ish. The H-town twin used to be so fine way back when. I had been waiting to see Jodeci back together again, not quite like this though, but I’ll take what I can get.

This sucks and why is Rihanna and T Pain’s name on here?? WTF yall are a mess they aint got nothing to do with rnb well Rihanna don’t and T pain is just a hype man to me. Nobody ever said Flava Flav wasn’t real music back in the day. Enjoy what you got because the end is coming.

This video is a strong argument in favor of abstinence from all vices: premarital sex, drunkenness, addictions, THE WORLD.
It looks like one of those, “this is your brain on drugs” promos.
Learn from the mistakes of others and have a better life.

I could only bear to watch 1:10 of this crap before I got bored. I too had a crush on Devante and I can’t tell you why. He looked crack headish then and looks like that now 15 years after the fact. This video eventhough I did not view it all STINKS!!!

The comments on here are too Funny. I admit that i had to watch the rest of the video becasue I wanted to see what everyone was talking about. The rooftop who was filming that, one of their kids?
The starring at the brick wall then turning around scene is too funny. I think this is truly the end for us Black ppl.

Wow, such a shame to see people who were so successful fall so low. They needed to save the cost of this video and put it on that child support instead. On the other hand, at least they are trying to make a come back and maybe that means they’ve left the drugs alone. I sure hope so.

Great song. It’s good to hear Jodeci again. H-town is not the same without Dino(RIP to him). I hope the song does well. R&B needs this RIGHT NOW!!
DeVante looks horrible. He looks 50, 60 years old. Leave the cocaine & crack ALONE De. Dalvin is still FINE as ever. K-Ci looks better & JoJo still looks the same. RIP Dino. I wished he was here to sing with them.

Devante is that you? I thought that was huggy bear. you looked like someone “knocked” you in the mouth with a “heel”. K-Ci your voice sound like some stray cats and metro train brakes. *sigh* lay off the drugs fellas..i think my computer got high..

no, no, no. The members in H-Town look a little unrecognizable. A little heavier and haggard for sure. Devante looks really bad, like he’s been drinking or abusing something. Whatever he was doing it has added 10 years to his face. Shame.
67.
wow
Monday, October 26, 2009 /
did he say “let me in your castle baby” ….am i trippin or is that what he said? lol
other than the first line though, this song lowkey knocks! i like it. But i definitely agree with the majority of the comments.
And nobody else peeped how they put the autotune real subtle on the skinny one from Jodeci? there’s even one part where you can tell he didnt hit that note quite right and they just said f*ck it we been in the studio all night tryna make it work, lets just autotune it out and keep it pushin lol

Horrible, cheesy, this song is so weak, is this what R & B music is coming to, really? Stupid lyrics repeated over and over. You would think that for a group who used to bring it and as much time as they took off they would have come way better than this. But i guess when your producer has beed smokin that stuff for so long that’s the best he could come up with. I guess there r no radios in crack houses to listen to for inspiration, huh?

This is so sad and yet so funny. Devante…KCi…why is it always the ones with so much talent who take it for granted, i.e. Amy Winehouse. I wonder why the boys of Jodeci were not in screen shots together. And Dalvin looked a damn fool when he did that pumping movement, oooooo 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.

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.

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.

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.

Monday, October 26, 2009 /
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.

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.

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!

It just got worse! And if they supposed to be knocking heels off, why they taking them off instead? Too corny for words.
And, Mr. Dalvin, he had no purpose with Jodeci before and does ABSOLUTELY nothing now.
I tried people but it’s funnier now!!!!!!!!!!!!
