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.

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"

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.

[@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.

And handsome as heck

[@vertyisprobablydead]

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

[@smittybenzo4693]

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

[@jayw6203]

Definitely do "Same Song"!

[@happydayz7857]

Great song!

[@ThatsMyStuffYouBledOnTrevor]

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.

@@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

There is no fun or creativity anymore because everyone wants to sound like everybody else. They just repeat the same thing over and over to a boring beat.

[@LibraKing3121]

@@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.

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.

Need to checkout tom Macdonald He has a lot of sarcasm and comedy in his music. However I know where you're coming from; Even if he was the comic relief from the hard reality of the world of rap it brought white people to the world of rap.
