Lost interview with Shock G part 1

[@JustMe-ws2pe]

This dude had a beautiful spirit.

[@Kampy_]

damn... since he passed I've been watching countless interviews, etc of him, and with each one I learn more and more about this cat. And am more and more impressed. I wish I could have learned what a legend he was and given him heartbeat props while he was still here with us

[@ozziewarrens8804]

Hope his professional peers and others give him a celebrated send off as they did DMX.

[@ChangedUpNowWhat]

I didn’t even know. Either I’ve been on another planet, or his transition didn’t get much publicity. He’s a legend!

[@coolracine]

His analogy comparing DJ scratching to dribbling a basketball is simply brilliant and on point. Sad we lost him so young. RIP Shock G

[@MsAdreaL]

Agree!!! I'm sitting here listening with a smile on my face, in Awe at what I'm hearing.. He is simply incredible!!

[@richhomiechef]

reminds me of another interview of him where he compared the crazy stuff they do with cars in the Bay to breakdancing. that blew my mind

Splendid Interview !!!

[@thisislogout]

He was only 15 or 16 in 1978, yet he knew so much about the art.

[@godsofirelocalcd6321]

I am suprise that Shock G was not cast in any movies because he has so many difference characters that he can pull from.

[@jamesjordan1608]

He had a cameo in “Nothing but Trouble” with Digital Underground and Tupac.

[@jlr194]

He also had a cameo in Who's the man with Dr. Dre and Ed lover.

[@shaquaniamoses]

I wish someone made one about him a biopic

[@obscuresoundz]

dude just gave a hip hop history lesson great story teller super creative guy

[@BrockSampsonNA]

Dude had some beautiful energy

[@dorisd8907]

We need a movie on the life of Shock G, A book on his life ! Something! I wish he got into podcast before he passed.

[@shaquaniamoses]

Yessssss

[@2hip4tv]

Straight up phenomenal talent, brilliance, and a good good man. Met him in Oakland at Chicken Waffles restaurant in Jack London Square. We had an early morning breakfast and the power went out and a table full of us had toast and beverages. He paid🤗. I'll never forget your talent and kindness. RIP and thank you for your spirit, music, and your joy you brought to so many of your fans.

[@diamondgirl7519]

Finally, an interview just about him. The interviewer focused on him and not Pac. His story alone was interesting enough.

[@klosedkaption8042]

What A Beautiful Mind! Rest easy Greg.

[@lennylenn4009]

Mannn.. His passing REALLY F'd me up!. So full of Life an Knowledge, he is someone i could've listen to talk all day. He was only two year's older than me but damn he had more time, Much more time. May you Rest Easy my brother 🕊🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@loveheals6184]

You and me both. I'd thought about him the day before. He's 13 years older than me and this was a death that really shook me- particularly because I knew he wouldn't be publicly eulogized the way he deserved. It legit still hurts. I hope our brother got to see, feel and know how much he's loved. Peace to him wherever he is. 🙌🏿❤

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

Shock had a lot of information and he knew exactly what he was talking about. That is very RARE amongst a lot of rappers in the game.

[@chrisrobvideos]

There is no way you could ever deny his genius.

[@waligibson240]

His the bridge between P Funk and. and G Funk! Shock G is the Hip Hop version pf George Clinton with the musicoan title, its no wonder. he work with prince! He naturally funky!, don't fake the funk are you nose would grow! Facts 100

Very very special....sad hes gone....LEGEND

[@brianobrian6637]

AMAZINGLY WELL STATED!!! He did SOOO much, for SOOO many different things & people!! Just an amazingly talented musician, persona, front man, activist & possibly his best attribute was his ability to be A GREAT human being in all aspects!! The thought of hip-hop without Shock & Idk if our beloved culture would be nearly as advanced, would have SMASHED barriers that it has & have to wonder If we would have gotten the blessing of Pac!! On a side note, I wish the mainstream would possibly put people like Shock on a pedestal, basically give them there DUE flowers while legends like him are still here! I think Shock kind of preferred to lay low & I've never heard a bad thing said about him. His contributions are ENDLESS. A TRUE blessing & double with Pac.

[@L1andonly]

This man is a GREAT story teller. I never knew he grew up in Tampa as well.

[@deloresclark3411]

He was very talented and a great story teller. I'm listening to a lot of his interviews. RIP Shock G. Gone to soon. We are losing a lot of great talent. ❤🙏❤

His story made me so sad. I am so sad that his demons were unconquered because he had a special light. Rest in Peace, Love, and Light beautiful man.

[@robnexus7]

Why do we appreciate beautiful souls once they leave us

[@friscofunksta7528]

funny cause I dont. I always had mad love for Shock G and even bought his albums just to have his music in the past few years. I wasnt even born when he came up. Fuck new school

[@a.davidmendez6043]

Great question!!!

[@RteeAlvarez]

We can be selfish//prideful or just simply taking advantage of people as if we know they’ll be here tomorrow not really thinking it could be their last day of life. We’re so quick to say “see u tomorrow, get back with you sometime next week” etc whatever the case just assuming we all have “tomorrow” availability. Unfortunately it’s what we do even without thinking. When death happens we’re in total disbelief and it’s a shock to our souls, but it happens.🤷‍♀️

[@SuperBizzleman]

Human nature is a bittersweet thing......some things just can't be explained

[@turklatasha191]

This is the best interview ever from a hip hop producer! If he was still alive, since he was already here in the area all these years, he could've been teaching hip hop classes right along with Play! I like how he explained the different techniques of scratching. I knew djs had different styles but he broke it down! RIP Shock G ❤💐

[@kimanderson6203]

Right on for finding this interview. Shock G was a great Artist and its a huge loss to his family, friends, fans and the Bay Area and Tampa Bay This is a really good interview thank you for sharing. Shows he is more then what's being posted as just Tupac's friend or for the Humpty Hump song. Much respect Kim from the Bay Area

Lots of gems on this interview! Here are my highlights: 1:35-Islamic origins of name "Shah G" --> "Shock G" 5:02-Shock G's trademark DJ'ing technique 6:02-Sample of Shock G's DJ crew's backspinning scratch style to "Dance to the Drummer's Beat" 7:01-Backspinning to Chic "Good Times" 7:15-Purpose behind juggling DJ technique 8:10-Evolution and purpose to scratching, example of Zapp "More Bounce to the Ounce" 8:40-Comparing West Coast hip-hop "twirping" (chirping) scratching DJ technique 14:42-Introduced to Slick Rick & Doug E.
