Digital Underground - The Humpty Dance (Official Music Video) REACTION

[@Muffin1980]

Tupac was a background dancer then.. crazy.

[@dorothydunn3285]

No way!!! Hilarious, hey man we all got to start somewhere.

[@Muffin1980]

Yeah he was 19 I think at the time. I love Pac, greatest rapper ever.

Yep he started as a roadie

[@wheresatari668]

Yup. We all have a prologue.

[@reneechavarria4554]

@@nolagirl2458 possibly the greatest rap rodie and back ground dancer?

The way Mr. Video was vibin is exactly what this song was made for. It wasn’t supposed to be some lyrical masterpiece. It was made to get people on the dance floor and act a fool. It’s amazing.

[@QUIZFILTER]

Yeah exactly! It's just supposed to be fun!! ... just for peeps to relax ( in an energetic way ), get loose & just have fun

[@bladestormviking]

shokk G was a professional party starter when he got "discovered". the dance is..... whatever you end up moving like when this song's on. AND I QUOTE "if it looks like you're having a seizure, you got it right"

Tupac got his start being a humpty dancer for this group. He was already doing political rap but he was unknown. His first feature was a year after this on Digital Undergrounds " Same Song". Please react to it.

[@matte7867]

SNL clip? I forgot but I’ve seen it before

Great song!

Not terrible song either

[@HolyGhostMoneyShot]

@@matte7867 It was a scene in the movie "Nothing But Trouble" with Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, and Demi Moore. Digital Underground has a cameo role and performs the whole song for the judge. The clip was used for the music video for MTv.

[@topoisomerace]

He passed away this week. Shock G was very talented as a rapper and producer, and this fun song was a masterpiece for its time.

[@macewbee]

Hey way to manny rapper's R.I.P. Shock D, DMX, Black Rob, Mf. DOOM now it might be DJ Homeside or Urban Sicko from Suger Ray.

[@insearchof9903]

And handsome as heck

That was 2Pac dude, what are you talking about.

[@biggcincy]

Humpty is a character the lead singer is shock G shock raps seriously but as “humpty” he acts crazy and silly

[@anytimejammin-eva]

Yup! He puts on a Groucho nose and glasses! There's a video where Humpty talks about his nose among other things. On MMMVintageVideos

[@casparhughey5651]

Humpty and Shock G are 2 different people. Humpty had a fryer accent when he was younger

[@LibraKing3121]

@@casparhughey5651 They are 1 in the same. Humpty is a character Shock G plays. Also, Google is your friend. 😆

[@adamguitar1498]

He literally picked up a bunch of stuff at a dollar store right before (groucho nose was one of the items) the other group members thought it was hilarious, and thus the character was born. Shock, honestly didn't expect it to take off, but had to roll with it

[@TranzparentMethods]

Plus, you can see Shock G in the video singing backup vocals.

[@korybeavers6528]

@@casparhughey5651 lol u are crazy...yes he is 2 people in person because Shock had a brother that looked just like him and they would do the show together so Shock could keep the gag going...

[@kaistone2692]

He had many names, MC Blowfish is my personal fave haha

[@Nozferatu46]

"Doowatchalike" by Digital Underground is also a classic. "Humpty Dance" was one of the greatest Hip Hop songs of the time. I still listen to this album. Edit: Shock G was also Humpty Hump. He wore different clothes, the Groucho Marx nose/glasses, and changed his voice to be more nasal to do those parts. He would have a stand in at live shows to keep up the illusion that it Humpty was a separate person from him.

[@squidwardshouse5431]

Yeah he was the one who said 'Just grab 'em in the biscuit.'

[@garypaul1289]

Definitely needs to react to Doowutchyalike. Great party track

[@tobaobokoomi1693]

Pull off your shoe and you got bunyons, look and smell just like onions...dont dowhatyoulike...you go see a foot doctor That line stuck with me since the 90s lol

That song The Humpty and The Butt were the jam dances! Club DJ's burned em up playin em!

Doowatchalike is better in my opinion! Kiss you back too 😁

This was the dance of all dances!!! Did you peep Tupac?! That’s when he started getting his footing in the game. And the whole nose thing is his alter ego. He’s also known as Shock G

[@chuckhouse5179]

Tupac didn't join until about a year after this.

[@erikelster]

Tupac would perform as a backup dancer later and would perform the hunts dance with DU. He was also their roadie and Shock gave him his start on the song “Same Song”. Humpty was just Shock G’s alter ego. This album was a classic fun record.

[@Heather61776]

You did the dance exactly how it's meant to be done. Loved it

[@garethhendrixson6725]

Awesome, my childhood is coming back to me. Digital Underground not only had Tupac as a member but had a cameo in a Chevy Chase movie called "Nothing But Trouble."

@@RR64434 I think it's the money. Remember back in the day if you called someone a "sell-out'' you'd get your ass kicked. Nowadays the 1st thing rappers WANT to do is sell-out!! Therefore the art has suffered tremendously. Makes me sad Hip-Hop used to be about something, SAID something. Now it's 95% worthless horseshit, looking to get the next Nike endorsement.

You should have done the digital underground same song. Humpty is a created character, his real look is displayed in that video. The biggest prank on the 90s was making people think Humpty was a real member of digital underground. Shock G i think it was created humpty. He is still playing music like pianos still.
