[@IceManLikeGervin]

Penny Ford's 1984 album: Pennye, is a very nice album. She used to sing backup with the Gap Band as well. She's a multi-instrumentalist as well playing the guitar, bass guitar, flute, drums, percussion and keyboards/synthesizer. She's also extra fine!!!

[@kizzieward6441]

I hate how he interviewed them it was horrible

[@layback76]

​@kizzieward6441 Yeah but she was pretty rude also.

[@SwKinfinite]

The soul of the culture has been sold and gentrified

[@JokersNtheOddball]

Stop talking about our music like it's your "culture" you get yr jollies and turn it off like the rest of them after a few songs

Does anyone else notice that, that's a young Tupac dressed up as Shock G's moniker Humpty Hump?! That's so dope 🔥

[@The_One_Cosmos]

I could tell the girl on the left of the screen was the singer for SNAP before they even talked about it

[@urbanflavorz]

Classic! BET probably doens't have these episodes anymore

[@asitalandry3962]

I was like ooh Digital Underground! Am I going to see Tupac? Then there he was in all his youth and glory. I miss him.

[@GangstaMojo]

I totally forgot about when digital underground used to pretend that Humpty was a separate person from Shock G😂😂😂

[@FAMc81]

Like in their cameo appearance in the movie Nothing But Trouble 😆 #goodentertainment #goodtimes

Oh my goodness!!!! These are priceless. And with the original commercials!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

The People Made A Hit! That's the secret. the 1990's had lot of things right back then. (not everything, but quality things indeed.) but I just dig that nostalgic wave online. the vibes fit me for the times, even now.

[@Edelweiss-w7w]

[@wcorowitz]

The lead singer alluded to it. She heard her voice on a hit record and I think they were going to proceed without her. Homegirl was like: LET ME MAKE SOME CALLS. Tried to CC Factory her!!! LOL

Rest in Peace to Shock G, Humpty Hump & 2Pac

[@abrahamlenga9951]

People say they want to go back to this era, but what they mean is, they want to go back to being a kid cause it felt good back then for them, that they didn't have to do that themselves.

[@antoniesseals8892]

Eeehh I wouldn’t say that, life seemed a bit more authentic back then. Whether you were a child or an adult. Everything was just authentic. Music, parties, fashion, men/women, everything was dope. I know we(blacks) had our struggles back then, but people made something out of nothing.

[@cantstop-wontstop2138]

@abrahamlenga9951 Nah- We dont wanna be kids again. We jus appreciate how it was to have different lanes of music and every song wasn't about crime/criminality.

[@Multifacted_Brotha]

Classic!! Can please upload BET rap city episodes from the early 1990's?? I really like the hiphop from this period!

[@TonyBambino]

look up "MUZIK-ZONE" on youtube he has a bunch of full rap city episodes form the 90's commercials and all..

[@enrique5367]

18:37 what is name of this song???

[@ZapRowsdower47]

Back when rappers all had their own style and was individually unique.... Nowadays they all the same wether theyre mainstream or underground, ALL THE SAME!

When she said working hard to reap the benefits of success. I realized they had a bad contract.

I always thought Shock G was Humpty Hump in disguise😆 Here they are on Rap City side by side!😱 How’d they do that?😄

[@shaunieibe2081]

Shock has a brother that looks like him. I believe he would step in as needed

[@TRUTHBETOLDallegedly]

Mane I said the same thing that’s shock g in the videos but in public it’s a stunt double

Above the Law was not from South Central, LA. They are from Pomona, CA. And, the members were affiliated with the Pomona 357 Crips. All facts.

Why did eazy e look like a piece of cardboard in atl interview

[@williamhayes981]

@@mikesmith7536 I'm not sure...I know his height was 5 ft 5 in, he looked like a little brown piece of cardboard in Compton. I guess he was built like a Hasbro dump truck. But, Eazy E was an actual gang member (in the 80's) who had a reputation. He was part of the Kelly Park Compton Crips....his street name was Casual. Crazy, but true.

[@benzer126]

These are 2 completely different things

[@CEENAS646]

@@benzer126 You're right, he didn't lip sync The Power. But he did take Chill Rob G's rendition of The Power, which was a hip hop crowd hit, very slightly remixed it, and rode it to international fame as if Chill Rob didn't exist lol.. Industry rule #4080...

[@do7hemath937]

@@CEENAS646 both songs were dope. I love how they both said " Copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen ". Chill Rob has a crazy very rare remix with different lyrics u should ck out.

@@CEENAS646 The beat for both songs is produced by Michael Münzig and Luca Anzilotti with samples from the titles Let the Words Flow by Chill Rob G, Love's Gonna Get You by Jocelyn Brown and King Of The Beats by Mantronix.

So dope!! ATL and Digital Underground are the shit! Crazy though, the last few years we heard Humpty Hump and Shock G were the same person but clearly in this footage we see two different people. So what's the real story about Shock G and Humpty Hump because on Rap City it was definitely not editing, there were 2 dudes for sure.

[@carltonbanks5470]

Damn so Humpty Hump was a different dude? Now Im confused.

No. Rob G’s version is a remix of another song of his, and the beat has been made by Snap!, before recording TurBo B’s version

@@nitomutan4593 , incorrect. The Snap ! was not the original version ,nor was the music or lyrics for Snap. Apparently, you never heard the song, the lyrics, or anything associated. I can't stand when people who have no knowledge try to troll and do it poorly.
