Everyone respected Digital Underground. They brought fun and carefree energy to an era of hardcore gangster rap. They were respected by everyone from casual hip hop fans, to cornerboys, to backpack lyrics lovers.

Sidenote, Humpty was so fucking dope that he was no longer a persona. He was an actual PERSON. That's some serious talent by Shock. I don't know why, but this one seriously fucked me up.

I started my freshmen year in college at Southern University in Baton Rouge in spring of 1990. I remember after class walking over the hump to Popeye's and going to the music store around Popeye's and picking up Digital Underground's cassette. I proceeded to play that cassette the whole semester and through basic training during the summer of 1990. This hurts bad!!!!

Brother I loved this track and used it as the inspiration for a few tracks I produced. Shock was my George Clinton and he used funk and soul to speak directly to our youth. They simply don't make them like this anymore.

We loved them like fam, when everyone was Gangster he was cool, soulful and fucking respected. Gangsters, b boys, revolutionaries and d boys all respected him.

Fucking sick bro, this hits home. He's only a year older than me and we were in the industry at the same time.

A little off topic, but I wish there were full episodes of Rap City or Video Vibrations available online. Tons of forgotten gems like this I'm sure.

When I was in high school I had a vhs tape that I compiled all the rap city booth sessions(not really all but all the good ones)and the last episode of yo! MTV raps. I was moving one day and it fell out of my car and I didnt notice and I ran it over.

Back in the day my niece -- who now has teenagers of her own -- swore up and down that Humpty and Shock G were two different people....and was a bit shook when she found out otherwise...Very talented brother...Rest in Peace.
