DIGITAL UNDERGROUND ::: |
2ND
SHOW ADDED!
TICKETMASTER TICKETS ONLY HONORED ON SUNDAYS SHOW.
While hip-hop was consumed by the hardcore, noisy political rap
of Public Enemy and the gangsta rap of N.W.A., Digital Underground
sneaked out of Oakland with their bizarre, funky homage to Parliament-Funkadelic.
Digital Underground built most of their music from P-Funk samples
and developed a similarly weird sense of style and humor, highlighted
by Shock-G's outrageous costumes and the whole band's parade of
alter egos. Of all these alter egos, Shock-G's Humpty Hump --
a ridiculous comical figure with a Groucho Marx nose and glasses
and a goofy, stuttering voice -- was the most famous, especially
since he was immortalized on their breakthrough single, "The
Humpty Dance."
Over the course of their career, Digital Underground have featured
a numerous members, including Tupac, but throughout it all, Shock-G
has remained at their core, developing the band's sound and style,
which they had from the outset, as their 1990 debut, Sex Packets,
proved.
Sex Packets was an instant hit, thanks the loopy single "The
Humpty Dance," and while they never scaled such commercial
heights ever again, their role in popularizing George Clinton's
elastic funk made them one of the most important hip-hop groups
of their era.
