I’ve heard some really bad songs in my thirty years on this planet, and I thought that after R. Kelly’s “Trapped In The Closet,” which was so bad it actually turned out to be pretty good, that I’d heard the worst of it. 

Apparently not.

A few months ago, I heard the H-Town & Jodeci collaboration “Knockin Your Heels” (no, seriously, that’s the title) and laughed heartily at its video.  Ultimately, it wasn’t far removed from the type of music both of these has beens had been making during their heyday some 15 years ago when this pairing would’ve actually mattered.  The song suffered from all of the 90s R&B cliches: hypersexed and extremely clumsy lyrics, and enough vocal histrionics that would make Patti Labelle want to keep her shoes on for a change.

THROWBACK: Jodeci On Martin

The guys of H-Town and Jodeci must have thought that the song didn’t assault ones senses enough, so they added freakin’ Pretty Ricky to the remix.

PAUSE! Why Does Pretty Ricky Keep Putting Out These Flamboyant Videos!?!?

The end result is about as sexy as the rape scene in The Accused.

    Wtf! Are you serious?.. Lmfao!

    Again. Was that Devante at the beginning. Looks like he been smoking crack. I use to love jodeci and htown when i was growing up.. but i think its time that they retire or get some new material. seriously

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mr_ghetto_verbiage/ mr_ghetto_verbiage

    wow!! taalk bout past dey prime. stop while u still can

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ambitious_balla/ ambitious_balla

    Man, if H-Town woulda STILL had them high-top fades, I was gonna kill myself! lol

    But uhm, f**k whoever wrote this article…this song was actually pretty nice! I dug it. Reason being, had that old school feel to it. Devante on the track, Shazam almost SOUNDS like Dino, and K-Ci sounded like VINTAGE K-Ci…the “Forever My Lady” K-Ci.

    They NEVER really had any clever lyrics to ANY of their songs, but the vocals, harmony, and melody was on point.

    I wanna see this “Bill Johnson” dude. Something tells me he’s about 23 years old and thinks highly of Omarion and Lil Wayne, hence his s**tty judgement of REAL music.

    Now I wont front…that “Pac man” song at the end by H-Town kinda lost me. And it think it’s safe to say that Shazam hasn’t been in the gym in a while, lol. And how the hell did he get DARK skinned? lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ambitious_balla/ ambitious_balla

    Ya’ll are SO wrong! So what Devante looked like he put the pipe down RIGHT before they yelled “ACTION!” Lol. They tried to take it back. Its a DECENT song. I’m not saying its some s**t you wanna jump out and run to the music store over….but definitely catchy!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/T2003J/ T2003J

    Hmm I was thinking I was going to see some horrible singing. But its actually pretty good. KC went from sounding pretty good to sounding like a dying cat, he trying too hard

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    Ummmm not bad really…I thought it was going to be a bunch of hollering and tacky dancing (I.e pretty ricky), but it wasnt bad..and I actually liked the end..the Pac-Man’ thing…nice beat to it…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MissCriss1225/ MissCriss1225

    the song is aight but what’s with H-town with the knocking of some kind of shoes?LOL but i was kinda sad when i heard the other twin DINO died

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ARealNi99a05/ ARealNi99a05

    Whoever wrote this article bulls****** if they thought this song was bad

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ljizzal/ ljizzal

    this joint is far from aight,it’s a banga ,especially from some aging groups.h -town and jodeci are 2 of my best groups of all time and i see why pretty ricky would feature them on thier track.their vocals isn’t th same ,but these kats still brings that babymaking music, aged or not.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Danak/ Danak

    This song is WACK! It’s time to hang it up fellas and cut your losses while you can….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ChoclateDrop123/ ChoclateDrop123

    I like this song and agree with Ljizzal Def a babymaking song and these guys are def the best R&B groups of all times i really do like it i guess cuz im still stuck in the 90′s with the old R&B this R&B now and day’s has nothing on the old s**t really feeling it def something i would bump while cleaning the house lol and singing at the same time lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/EPbash/ EPbash

    if it had a better bet they don’t even dance to the beat right yeah hang it up or just stick to the funkfest or tours with the baby making songs from the days.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ashleynicole25/ ashleynicole25

    I actually liked it butjodeci them dudes look gross, like they on madd drugs for real. We need H-town and jodeci and all them other groups from the 90′s all the R&B cats now sound the same and sing about the same thing. Where Jagged edge at?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DevaunRashard/ DevaunRashard

    WOW! Unbelievably horrendous

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ishowmypicwheniwant/ ishowmypicwheniwant

    Yeah I saw this last year and just shook my head. Kci looks like he can’t knock anything off. They just look old as I don’t know what…and they need to be careful…they could catch a case with this song…and they have Pretty Ricky on it now? Ummmmmm, don’t they listen to the news? Poor H Town….Poor Jodeci….just give it up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/youngr80/ youngr80

    LOL WTF….. Mr. Pacman though

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sassy_1922/ Sassy_1922

    the song is str8… the video sux…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Luscious_Lips32/ Luscious_Lips32

    As far as vocals and music,it wasn’t bad. but the title i am not feeling. I would love to see jodeci, jagged edge, h-town, new edition,blackstreet, 112, and all the old 90′s r&b groups back together and in concert. They still sound good to me. That’s what’s wrong with the music today. not enough substance and vocals and soul. it’s all about the looks and how u dance. Todays artist need to take note and get with the program.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/getmygrownmanon1/ getmygrownmanon1

    I agree with Lucious I don’t think it was that bad, they stayed true to who they are and didn’t try to act like they are 25. What happened to Devante’s teeth? Damnn! K-Ci sounded descent and so did the H-town even though he was never a lead singer in the group he did ok. I would like to see an old school show with them toowith troop also.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/birdy01/ birdy01

    i wonder if they are gonna know my heels off??

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Hellokitty111/ Hellokitty111

    The main guy in H Town still sounds good, maybe i should make a song up about “knocking his Nikes off” lol I do agree they look almost to old to be doing this, like the rhythm is off when they are dancing. The Jodeci guy oh my he looked used lol he won’t be knocking my heels off lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LiberianLadii/ LiberianLadii

    this song is hot(version excluding Pretty Ricky)! they still can sing, close up’s in the video was a bad idea and having Davonte start the video off was bad but hey…songs good!

    As I’m reading the comments, I’m seeing 19-22 year olds talking about “this song sucks” as if they’ve had ONE decent group come CLOSE to making some s**t like this. Ya’ll groups cant even make it to a second album and the way ya’ll fall all over Pleasure P and Trey Songz non-singing asses, your credibility is shot all to be damned anyway.

    Aye, Califemme, you missed it. Troop dropped a new album in 07!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Unique019/ Unique019

    I also notice theres a bunch of 17 and 18 yr old cats that dont know s.h.i.t about real music of the 90s and they throw their panties at Trey Songz, and Ray J like thats real music. To the poster who previously said most of these so called “artist” cant last past one album I agree 100%. Wheres Trey Songz going to be in 5 yrs? Forgotten about is the answer. Most of these singers are so horrible they jump to reality shows after one album because they wont make it. To all you 90s babies that do0nt know s.h.i.t about music go your research and stop thinking Lil Wayne and these one and one r&b cats are real music

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Unique019/ Unique019

    To the author of this article thats talking about “cliches” how about the r&b and hip hop cliches of today “popping bottles, going to the club, having 3 some” cliches thats prevalent in nearly every song. My goodness some people are stupid. “HAVE A BABY BY ME BABY, BE A MILLIONAIRE” hahahahahahahahahahaha thats all I have to say.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/forevereternal1/ forevereternal1

    if you don’t know about music.. shut the hell up.. thats jodeci.. kc still sounds good. nobody talk about ronald isley old tail still talking about sex.. and he’s like what 80.. and i love the isley brothers.. these guys sound good.. whitney made a come back.. keep on singing..they could have done with out pretty ricky though.. i guess they got on because of the knocking the boots remix they did.. kc and jo jo need another solo album.. i miss those guys..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rosko_24_7/ rosko_24_7

    This song does suck…but the remix with Pretty Ricky is banging…I’m loving the remix.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY0NZkzj53o

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lala0584/ lala0584

    This song isn’t the worst song…Shazam of H-Town& K-Ci both still got it. Pretty Ricky could’ve been left out the equation tho. But I agree with those who said we got the 90′s babies not liking this…. I guess that if REAL GROUPS like Shai, Troop, Subway, Hi-Five, Mint Condition, Rude Boys, & Men @ Large..just 2 name a few…they would be pissed then. 2 stuck in this autotune, Pleasure P having generation. Not saying I don’t listen to it, but I know groups or singers from back in the day who would blow these singers out the water (The Dream, Pleasure P, Chris Brown, T-Pain etc). The song ain’t bad, I kinda dig it myself & just might DL it right now!! LOL!!

    Awww get it…lmao sorry I was gettin a lil carried a way! Naw but real talk that was a pretty good song. I don’t blame these fellas for tryin to reinvent themselves and keep their careers going. I bet if you play this joint in the club or at a party everybody will be freakin on the dance floor like they do with any other freaky slow jam. So I say good luck to jodeci and h-town do ya thang!!

    This song is alright. A little old school feel. I was so in love with Devante back in the day, had his poster on my wall but now….HELLZ NAW!!! He is not the business, why,why,why, Devante? Shazamm sounds a little bad in the song. His brother was a much better singer. H-town is actually doing a concert down here in Ms next week, someone offered me free tickets and I turned them down.

    Same thing with this song, I was expecting some HORRIBLE s**t, but this is OK. It for damn sure ain’t the best thing I heard, but it’s far from the worst s**t. Them Pretty Gay niggas at the end tend to make it worse, but it’s tolorable.

    They’re vocal talents could have been used for a better song. In all honesty though it wasn’t atrociously bad. I’m sure I’ve heard worse.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/RADIANTFOXXX/ RADIANTFOXXX

    I liked the song without pretty ricky messing it up! I tried to listen to the one feat. pretty ricky but as soon as all that “so called rapping” came in I quickly pressed stop! Everybody has their own opinion though, I personally enjoyed the song but I agree that the video was a little crappy but I doubt they’d really care anyway about whether or not anyone liked or didn’t like the video! Lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Nikki2377/ Nikki2377

    I like the song it is no diffrent from what you hear today except for it is an older group putting it out there with a slower groove. You sit and you listen to it once or twice without the remix you actually would like the song. It begins to grow on you. Trust and I am a fan of back in the day R&B singers to Present singers all of them serve there own special purpose when it comes to listening to slow music.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Tangy_Lips/ Tangy_Lips

    How can we be so cruel to some of the hottest celebs from the 90s? I actually like it (the original minus the Pretty Ricky). Let them boys make them some of this easy money. I mean after all this is the society that “soulja boyed” and “lil wayned” and “twittered ” American life into hell. It’s not that bad at all. And they are all looking pretty decent too, they could knock my heels off…lol (jk on that last comment for anyone who is about to jump on my head)
