From 1994 Album: "Keepers Of The Funk"...(Click "show more" for artist info)...
The Lords of the Underground (L.O.T.U.G.) are a hip-hop trio based in Newark, New Jersey. MCs Mr. Funke and DoItAll Dupré met DJ Lord Jazz (a native of Cleveland) when all three were undergraduates at Shaw University.
The three are perhaps best remembered for the singles "Funky Child", "Chief Rocka" and "Tic Toc"; all of which were wildly eccentric manifestos. The music video for "Funky Child" features one of the group members parading around in a diaper.
Their chief producer was Marley Marl's protégé, K-Def. Pete Rock remixed their songs "Flow On" and "Check It" in 1994 .
In their initial releases, their first two albums Here Come The Lords (1993) and Keepers of the Funk (1994), earned them an award from Black Entertainment Television in 1993 . They collaborated with George Clinton; their second album's title track, which samples his work, features him in a cameo. The track is generally more abrasive and less conventionally tuneful in its instrumentation than most of their work.
Gangster posturing was rhetorically referenced, but never outright indulged in, by the group, except on their 1995 single "Burn Rubber", which took a cavalier pro-carjacking attitude and featured a line where Mr. Funke unapologetically said he'd "even jeopardize [his] friends" for the sake of a jacking. However, the song was recorded for and prominently featured in the Newark car-jacking film "New Jersey Drive," and can be seen as a reflection of that film's mentality, as well as the popularity of joyriding carjacks in that city in the 1990s, rather than an endorsement of violent crime. Because their dalliance in gangsterism was half-hearted, they were one of a number of groups lost in the shuffle when gangsta rap became dominant.
Their reunion album Resurrection (1999), released via Queen Latifah's Jersey Kidz imprint, was so small-scale a release that few realized it had been recorded. Da Brat made an appearance on it.
The Lords are best remembered in connection with the golden age of hip hop. As such, when Nas decided in 2007 to do a remix of his song "Where Are They Now?", which asked of the fates of several long-forgotten golden age rappers, the Lords were among those requested to appear. DoItAll Dupré performs eight bars on the track. The others featured include Positive K, Father MC, Rob Base, Redhead Kingpin, Monie Love, and members of Black Sheep, Salt-N-Pepa, Three Times Dope, the Jungle Brothers, the Fu-Schnickens and Das EFX.
DoItAll appeared briefly in the final scene of the final episode of The Sopranos credited as Du Kelly, as one of a series of potentially ominous figures entering the diner. He also appeared on other TV shows Law & Order as Two Tone, on OZ the HBO series, & On the Christmas episode of 30 Rock on NBC (2008). He has also been in Independent movies such as SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY with Bai Ling, American Rap Stars, Rhyme & Reason, Durdy Game(Xenom), Cash Rules (Koch) With Treach of Naughty By Nature, & he has also starred in an off broadway play entitled Diss, Diss, & Diss, Dat.
Lords of the Underground also made a featured appearance on Pete Rock's 2008 album "NY's Finest" on the track "The Best Secret".
DJ Lord Jazz currently resides in Paris, France.

"Flipping the script like the script should be flipped, if I need protection it's right on my hip... Boom bye bye, who wanna die, hear your mom cry when you lie in a casket " is such a savage and amazing verse
His whole verse was fire man. Unreal skills.
Almost a West coast flow with that Jersey slang. I love it Supreme C killed it

@@JohnSmith-cz3us the last guy
When HipHop was HipHop....
have never been experienced this type of beat. literally amazing seriously
i can't say that i know a thing or two about hip-hop but, i'm not the benighted.
In my 30s now and I remember listening to this mid teens, this track is so timeless, such an ode and memento to a style of hip hop that once was.
some of the most murderous bass i've ever heard, still to this day.
As hip hop goes more downhill at its current state the MORE i go back in time to watch VIDs like these, where it is STILL ahead of its time. I mean the current stuff can't even touch this. I was too young to under appreciate hip hop during the 90s. Now i have all WHOLE new appreciation of real hip hop.
This fire never gets old, just gets better like fine wine!!!!
most badass song ever created
WORD TO THAT!
And video - this is all ONE SHOT - and they coordinate it so some verses end while turning a corner, etc. It's fucking brilliant- like at 4:10, "move up", as he's moving up the stairs. Everything about this is badass.
Totally agree!!
So amazing i honestly don't see how mainstream beats underground
Fuck yeah
It doesn't get any better than this. Killer track.
I Still Wish Hip Hop Was Like This :'D
Dan Scott Me too.
It's underground, what Nas meant when he said Hip-Hop was dead
It is but real font get popular no more so unless you activly go hunting you find it. But i like it that way seperates the hipsters from the hiphoppers 😉😎🤣
Amen
It still is but not in the USA but in latin countries. They do the hardcore rap nowadays.
90s the best who agrees??:-)Thx,from Germany

Good music NEVER EVER expires, no matter what year u listen to it. N LOTUG is one of those classic groups that u can bop your head to any time.
LOTUG was sick in their day....their first album was incredible, this follow up was every bit as good, even though they werent gettin the amount of play they were with Chief Rocka and Here come the Lords......this shit is just as tight....
This was my shit! 🔥 I loved Lord Of The Underground they rep the mid '90's nicely!
