Future Shock

Like I said in my Rap & BULLSHIT urban rumours post, when Digital Underground first came out very few folk realised Shock G and Humpty Hump were the SAME DAMN PERSON. Yes, Shock was a malleabley-mouthed MF who had the sheer charisma to pull off being two different characters; but he was also a crafty mischief-maker who was deliberately trying to fool Rap fans as he proved during his first YO! MTV Raps appearance in 1990. Peep Fab 5 Freddy interviewing Shock G and Humpy Hump at the SAME DAMN TIME!?!?
Later there was another Rap & BULLSHIT urban rumour that Humpty Dupe was 2pac in disguise, but he was #actually played by Shock's own brother Kent Craig. Anyhoo, am I correct in thinking that the only time Digital Underground ever performed live in the YO! MTV Raps studio was the 1991 episode where they did No Nose Job? A pity because D.U always set it off when they performed on TV.

kinda wish he had produced a whole 2pac album

Yeah, very surprising he didn't do more beats for 2Pac innit? All the ones he did do were the highlights of those respective 2Pac albums IMHO.

Low key Thizz era Mac Dre had a lot of Shocks influence.

Kelvin Mack10zie said...

Definitely.

Dream collaborations for me: late 80s/early 90s Digital Underground song featuring Mac Dre and a late 80s/early 90s Mac Dre & Khayree song featuring Shock G & Money B.

The only self-styled Hip-Hop expert guy more clueless than Peter Rosenberg.
