Unsung: 10 Artists That Deserve A Feature On TVOne [Photos]

Recently TVOne shed some light on Big Daddy Kane on the hit series Unsung.

For those too young to remember Kane as the man who once competed for the throne of top emcee, the program was educational as well as entertaining.

With Kane's rhyme style, his upscale wardrobe and his willingness to introduce rappers like Jay-Z, the hour-long special gave some relevance to the Brooklyn rap veteran.

Unsung usually features R&B and Soul singers that had tragic ends or just simply didn't get the props they deserved.

In Hip-Hop there are some acts who definitely could use some mainstream love, a documentary or their story told so today's generation might appreciate what they added to the game.

Check out who else needs a Michael Rapaport film or a TVOne feature.

    In addition (not in spite of) to the fastest rappers, I must add Suga Free. I've heard a couple of his tracks [ex. - "Fly Fo Life"]that literally took my breath away! And articulating each syllable CLEARLY...

    ll cool j, eric b and rakim krs one and the ultramagnetic mc's should come before them all

  • The Ninja Kitty

  • Eddie

    Tribe called quest and N.W.A.

  • Juliemango

    Wow. Rap has an extensive history it needs its own history channel - rap the history channel its endless. To showcase the start n rise of the game!!!

  • rei

    AZ (probably one of the most underappreciated MCs ever)

  • Tonto Kawalski

    THEY SHOULD ALSO ADD IN TOO SHORT. WHO ELSE AT THE TIME WAS MORE DIRTY OTHER THAN 2 LIVE CREW. AND HE TOOK ONE WORD AND MADE IT A BIGGER THAN LIFE. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEITHC!!!!

  • maliksmama

    Geto Boys.

    I'm still drooling over the pic of Big Daddy....YUMMY!!

    A lot of great suggestions but I don't think I'd include LL Cool J, though. He (up until recently, at least) releases music pretty frequently and is also a movie/TV actor.

    I would definitely love to see Kool Moe Dee, Slick Rick, Rakim and KRS. Along with BDK, those are my type 5 MC's.

    • Dana

      That is, TOP 5.
