REST IN PEACE TO THE HUMPTY MAN ! www.vibe.com/gallery/full-clip-shock-g-breaks-down-digital-undergrounds-entire-catalogue-2pac-more/dulifes-like-a-cartoon/
Shock was fired from his 1st job at WTMP in Tampa,Florida for playing the 15 minute version of Knee Deep at the age of 16. Rest Piano man. My dad was the southeast regional manager for Warner Bros, I had a wonderful childhood. Look him up, Leo Jocko Carter!
I was born in 1990. Listening to these lyrics , how ahead of time these dudes were ...wish I were introduced to digital underground more other than the humpty dance on the radio .
As you can see by my profile pic I knew this brother personally as well as my daughter. She had the pleasure to play the piano with Shock gee. We kept in touch after I met him in 2017 when he stayed at the hotel I was working at. Had the pleasure of seeing him in concert as well. RIP brother you will be sadly missed.
They would like Parliament funkadelic's were basically known for aqua boogie and songs like that very few people know about The stuff that wouldn't make it on radio Jimmy got a little bit of bitch In him No head no backstage pass Maggot brain just to name a few
I've always loved this P Funk George Clinton vibe! Timeless music not like the crap out here today! Salute Digital Underground! 👊🏿💯 Rest In Heaven Shock G! Your Music Will Live Forever! 🙏🏿❤😢🥁🎹🎶🎸🎵🎺🎼🎷

PowdaToastFace Killah to be honest that long walk was necessary as I didn’t have a ride and I was overweight and lost a LOT OF THAT!😊 You could say that Digital Underground saved my life in a way.
Just like The FUNKATEER BROTHA Shock G IS A New Point clear that is what the Society in the time of the Now and Past Future and BEYOND Can RELAX RELATE TO. PARLIAMENT JUST LIKE THIS IS THE MOVEMENT OF TO AWAKE THE SLEEP. OPEN THE MINDS OF THOSE THAT ARE NOT AWARE. JUST TO SEE THE LOOK ON THEIR FACE 👀🤔. MY PEOPLE...
If One Does not know The WOO Woo FUNK , STOP TRYING TO MAKE A BIG DEAL AND RELEASE YOUR MIND AND LET YOUR INSTINCTS FLOW... TAP INTO YA REAL CONTINENCE MIND. STOP THE BAGGAGE OF THE TEACHING OF WHAT YOU THINK YOU'VE BEEN TAUGHT!!?
I love how the masters sound like ADAT or reel to reel thank you Shock G for that vintage sound for the rap with the funk we loved you always many people have given me Humpty Hump comparisons during freestyles I respected you so much and always will. SALUTE Shock G aka Humpty Hump forever loved forever missed.
I was in Oakland 2 days ago and i paid attention to every single detail of the city , so i can tell why best liricysts like shock g or pac got so inspired ... Oaktown is enigmatic

I'm sure that I'll find this album at the record show on Sunday, if not I'll just go back to the flea market to see if the lady vendor still has it from last year.
Samples "Funky President" by James Brown (1975), "Impeach the President" by The Honey Drippers (1973) (Drums), "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" by Bob James (1975) (Drums), "You Gots to Chill" by EPMD (1988), "Aqua Boogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)" by Parliament (1978), "Freaky Styley" by The Red Hot Chili Peppers (1985), "Colour Me Funky" by Parliament (1979), and a dialogue from the movie The Last Poets (1971). There's one thing that baffles me with this tune: The Honey Drippers's "Impeach the President" which is not on the Who Sampled website for the track. Can someone help?
For years I've wondered where that rhythmic whine that persists in this song comes from. At the very beginning, before the beat comes in entirely, it's scratched in a couple times and I hear the sample also include that bright clappy snare sound. I wonder where that's from. At any rate, this is one of my favorites of all time, from one of my favorite albums of all time!
[George Clinton] Round and round, and round and around So you've come from a long ways to go Endowed with the flow and the destinies to grow Into what you've come to be, and only you can be sons of the P As it is so shall it be the maximum izness Graduation is upon you, go forth and funk 'em Fuck 'em, just to see the look on their face" 😆😄😅 THESE LYRICS MAN....... I'M IN HEAVENLY WOODS ALREADY??........ LOL !!!!!
I feel at this stage of his career, Shock was just going through the motions and his heart wasn't in in anymore. I challenge anyone who loved Future Rhythm & Gravy to not see this piece as the end. If you're old enough to remember, this was the stage where Shock started avoiding hanging around in the studio which he knew would just lead to more drugs, so we was mostly concentrating on his cartoons and website, which was a treasure trove of lingo, merch and shock g cartoons. He was very open with his messaging to fans. Rest his soul.
Great stories told by SHOCK G. Read this next article - www.vibe.com/gallery/full-clip-shock-g-breaks-down-digital-undergrounds-entire-catalogue-2pac-more/dulifes-like-a-cartoon/ - REST IN PEACE SHOCK G !
The most original hip hop group in the universe.
I didn't realize how dope this song was when I was younger. Things are different now and this is so damn good. 💪
Shock was a beast on the piano. I regret not soaking in that part of his hip hop tool kit during his lifetime
REST IN POWER MY BROTHA
R.I.P shock G 2021
One of the greats, ppl slept on his flow
REST IN PEACE TO THE HUMPTY MAN !

Everything brother. Thanks God again for the big home man. We love cuzzz. 😂
This song and this record changed my life. RIP Shock G the legend!
Mine too!
RIP Hump. Bumping this classic in your memory.
RIP Shock G, and thank you for this album right here.

DU = Criminally underrated.
Like hip hop from the future...even now. Miles ahead of anything else.
Dope
Only the general public slept on them. They are LEGENDS in the community. Don't forget Raw Fusion either.
Living through the golden era, I sometimes have to be reminded of DU's genius on several levels.
AxeMan808 definitely. Raw Fusion was the isht
One of my favorite songs of all time. RIP Shock G! So ahead of his time.
Rip Shock G 💯
Timeless Classic. Rest in Peace Shock G
That beat is incredible. 😉
2023 We still love you Shock G always.
This song was and still is 20
Years ahead of its time
Rest in peace shock G thanks for all da great music
Best hip hop group ever IMO. Shock is a genius. This and Heartbeat Props are my favorite songs by DU
I was born in 1990. Listening to these lyrics , how ahead of time these dudes were ...wish I were introduced to digital underground more other than the humpty dance on the radio .

We kept in touch after I met him in 2017 when he stayed at the hotel I was working at. Had the pleasure of seeing him in concert as well. RIP brother you will be sadly missed.
He was a true Pioneer. So many Nights, i vibed to his Tracks. Especially "Three blind Mice".
Dope pic. RIP

PowdaToastFace Killah to be honest that long walk was necessary as I didn’t have a ride and I was overweight and lost a LOT OF THAT!😊 You could say that Digital Underground saved my life in a way.
Ramone Golden THATS what’s up 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Digital Underground was like the next generation of Parliament Funkadelic
RIP SHOCK G
They were too political for them, they gave it to OutKast
Facts!!! I grew up loving the funk!!! From James, George, Bootsy, Shock G... Who is next to keep the funk going??? REST IN PEACE SHOCK G! 🙏🏿❤😢🕊
Just like The FUNKATEER BROTHA Shock G IS A New Point clear that is what the Society in the time of the Now and Past Future and BEYOND Can RELAX RELATE TO. PARLIAMENT JUST LIKE THIS IS THE MOVEMENT OF TO AWAKE THE SLEEP. OPEN THE MINDS OF THOSE THAT ARE NOT AWARE.

This song will stay with me forever #sonsofthep
I was in Oakland 2 days ago and i paid attention to every single detail of the city , so i can tell why best liricysts like shock g or pac got so inspired ... Oaktown is enigmatic
If I Wasn't P FUNK Jones I wouldn't Be the Son of The P!!!! SONS OF THE P
YAH!!!HAVE YOU BEGONE TO SEE THE FUNKATEER IN THE TIMES WE ARE LIVING
HEY!!!!
This song is amazing
So you've come from a long ways to go
Endowed with the flow and the destinies to grow
Into what you've come to be, the sons of the P
As it is so shall it be the max
If being is what it's all about
You as I as we, be maximum is
All that can be you be, sons of the P
Graduation is upon you
Relax your mind and let your conscious be free
Relax your mind and let your conscious be free
Release your mind and let your instincts flow
Release your mind and let the funk flow
Release your mind and let your instincts flow
Release your mind and let the funk flow
Release your mind and let your instincts flow
Release your mind and let the funk flow
Release your mind and let your instincts flow
Release your mind and let the funk flow
We are here to let you flow
Raise your hands and let 'em go
We are here to let you flow
Raise your hands and let 'em go
So we go, portfolio dolio
Dodio doe, sons of the flow
Portfolio dolio
Dodio doe, sons of the flow
Some say we're the sons of the preacher
Some says we're the sons of the prophet
But most of all we need the funk, got to have the funk
We are the sons of the P
So we go, portfolio dolio
Dodio doe, sons of the flow
Portfolio dolio
Dodio doe, sons of the flow
We are the sons of the P
Your present state of mind, you're happiness
You're spiritual creativity will be at its best
But first we must undress the clothes of society
Oh yes, we must undress the clothes of society
We're pulling down the pants to your mind
This time we'll make love to your intellect
The people in control are working very hard
To keep your natural desires in check
The things we bring will scatter sunshine
In those times of rain
So enter near and have no fear
And we'll set free the pain
Take me away, let me fly
Some say we're the sons of the preacher
Some says we're the sons of the prophet
But most of all we need the funk, got to have the funk
We are the sons of the P
Never bringing a short to you
A new candle wax for your jeep, doo doo
What you like as long as it's hype alright
And the doctor said you don't need a thing
We are here to let you flow
Raise your hands and let 'em go
Yes, we are the sons of the P
Take me away
And as you have grown into
What you and only you can be
Sons of the P
Go forth and funk 'em
Pack your bags, we're gonna take a trip
Don't watch your intuition, let your thought waves slip
To another level where the funk is fat
If I toast to the rhythm would you drink to that?
I won't try to judge, just letting you know
We need more sun if the P's gonna grow
We need more sun, sons of the flow
Portfolio dolio
'Round and 'round, and 'round and around
So you've come from a long ways to go
Endowed with the flow and the destinies to grow
Into what you've come to be
And only you can be sons of the P
As it is so shall it be the maximum izness
Graduation is upon you, go forth and funk 'em
Fuck 'em, just to see the look on their face
Some say we're the sons of the preacher
Some says we're the sons of the prophet
But most of all we need the funk, got to have the funk
We are the sons of the P
This song is still rocking it!
This is the ish!!
Love the keyboard play🔥🎶
Also featuring rich live percussion by Juan Carlos!!

Sooocool that you've put all the elements of this ... Well appreciated
You forgot one sample that was the common threat throughout the whole joint: "(not just) knee deep" Funkadelic, 1979
that TO Drink
Damn, that’s a lot of samples!
Shock was on one, Greg on two and CMJ with that EC gaucho flow
Pharrell definitely heard this
No doubt
7:11 still my favorite part!😁
This was my shit

Nah, he was a member even on the first album.

Rip shock.
very serious
“… I WILL CREATE!”
Could this beat have been the basis for Naughty By Nature's Uptown Anthem?. Sure sounds like it. Someone please tell me if I'm right.

Can you tell that George Clinton was Shock G's stepfather.
Really?
😂😂😂 some of y'all are so clueless!

Had to remember the title cause it was on the sex packets cassette I bought but then again it was a bootleg man I miss those times

Great stories told by SHOCK G. Read this next article - www.vibe.com/gallery/full-clip-shock-g-breaks-down-digital-undergrounds-entire-catalogue-2pac-more/dulifes-like-a-cartoon/ - REST IN PEACE SHOCK G !
Ahead of their time
It's definitely a P-funk song and they should have given 2pac a couple of verses which would have made it funkier.
Everything shock and du done they qas payong homage to pfunk
