It's great to learn so much about Shock G's start before and during the popularity of Digital Underground. Very respectful to the Artist. Well done!

[@londonmclaughlin8185]

Shock G is one of my biggest musical influences. Had the honor to talk to him a few years back. He was so brilliant. A gifted musician. He was so open and kind. As a fan I will miss him dearly.

[@jasonnelson6624]

Absolutely he was very approachable and truly loved music. You could sometimes catch him just randomly playing a piano in a bar, club or hotel. If there was a piano there he would just gravitate to it. He was a good guy.

I am CRNA and learned in a Pharmacology class that a person can be off drugs for 20 years, and if that person is hooked up to an EEG, the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the brain will light up if drugs is only just spoken about, around that former addict. That is is how powerful drug addiction is. I have very forgotten those words.

[@cousinwil5808]

I met Shock G a couple years before his death. He had a tough relationship with Humpty. He hung out with us in the studio and freestyled on a track and told me later how much it meant to him that we didn’t ask him to be Humpty on the track. We chatted about jazz and he played the piano and was just a really great hang in the studio where herbie’s headhunters, shock’s freaks of the industry, and 2pacalypse were all recorded. Was so sad to hear of his passing.

[@calmbbaer]

That's a dilemma for anyone who creates a truly successful and beloved character. I think of Sherlock Holmes, Slim Shady, and a pre-electric Dylan as examples. After a while, their creators all fought against returning to the characters, only to realize, after a time, that returning wasn't a painful, sell-out move, but just giving people more of what they'd fallen in love with - and that's okay.

And I am glad that we can watch his Historical interviews about his Friendship with 2Pac and all the Exciting Times he had with him. And I also enjoy watching his videos when he plays the Piano and talking about life and his Experience's that he had shared with his fans on his KZbin Channel. Man I still can't believe that he has gone on to Glory till This Day. And it is a Blessing that he had People across the Globe who genuinely showed him Love,Support after his Passing.

The Humpty Dance was the first video I witnessed from D.U. and this was in the Summer of 1990(even though it released in the Spring of that year).

[@susanfit47]

Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance" is and still a classic to this day. Of the five raw elements that make up the "Humpty Dance" drum track, one is a sample from "Sing a Simple Song" by Sly and the Family Stone, in the form of a one-measure-long drum loop. Digital Underground incorporated the Family Stone drum loop with four other raw elements; a deep tonal kick drum that alternated between two bass notes, a handclap snare (also a sample, taken from "Theme From the Black Hole" by the band Parliament), drum-machine hi-hats running continuously throughout which were programmed to 8th-notes, and a guitar hit happening once every bar, all assembled into the now-familiar pattern that forms the Humpty Dance drum track. The vocal sample that happens in the song's chorus sections is from Parliament's "Let's Play House" from their 1980 album, Trombipulation. It has been sampled (frequently, without credit of Digital Underground or Gregory Jacobs (a.k.a. Shock G, the song's author & producer) of any kind) by numerous musicians, many of the artists who have sampled it over the years including ABC, Black A.G., Chuckii Booker, Bobby Brown, The Boys (now known as Suns of Light), George Clinton, Chubb Rock, Craig Mack, Das EFX, Detroit's Most Wanted, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Enimem, Erick Sermon, Father MC, Gang Starr, Gorillaz, Girl Talk, Guy, Aaron Hall, Heavy D. & the Boyz, Ice Cube, Jay-Z, Jodeci, Kam, Kris Kross, LeVert, LL Cool J, Little Shawn (now known as Shawn Pen), Mark Morrison, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Mary J. Blige, New Kids on the Block, Alexander O'Neal, P.M. Dawn, Paris, Portrait, Public Enemy, Redman, Sade, Salt-N-Pepa, Shaquille O'Neal, Will Smith, the Spice Girls, SWV, Tech N9ne, Teddy Riley, TLC, Vanilla Ice, WC & the Maad Circle, Xzibit, and 2Pac.

Had no idea things had gotten so rough in the last few years, unfortunately! A talented musician for sure, as a little girl I use to think him and DeVanté from Jodeci had a similar look.

Growing in the 80s, when I first heard the humpty dance by Digital Underground, I’m thinking this group is gonna go places and change the world…Shock G:funny, humble, cool and positive…digital underground had u dancing and getting the party jumping…RIP Shock G…

[@LadeeLibra646]

I'll always find Shock and Humpty's verse on the "I got 5 on it" Remix as one of best verses ever.

[@Aintthatsum1983]

as a kid I always thought humpty hump and shock g was 2 different people I remember when 2pac did that same song video damn time flies

[@capritv3766]

I honestly thought that as well as a kid, & it really is funny how time flies!

[@broncotia3125]

Thank u for telling this story!!. These songs r so enmeshed in my memories of growing up, they all bring back smiles laughs of times gone by. It pains me to see all these talented brothas lives spiraled out of control and cut short. They gave the world so much joy and to come to such an end is devastating. They should've had so much more at the end of the day 😔 REST IN POWER Shock G and all of those gone on ahead. We still got love 4 ya 💜

[@yumeccasimms3952]

This was good. I didn't know he was this talented. Thanks for this upload.

[@youmakemelaugh1797]
