Now I have to preface this post with a quick comment. I'm not really a rap guy. At least I wasn't when I was younger. I've come to appreciate it later in life but back then I only listened to a select bunch of hip hop. One of the groups I listened to was Shock G's Digital Underground.
Shock G had personality issues when he was in Digital Underground. On 'Doowutchyalike', the first single from their debut album 'Sex Packets' he was himself. But on the next single 'The Humpty Dance' he was his alter ego Humpty Hump. And Humpty was a horny, big nosed, not always rhymin' playa who didn't really care if he was ugly or not, cause he was still getting laid. Now I prefer Doowutchyalike but ya got to give props to this song. And it also contains one of the sickest bass grooves that still keeps me wondering if its a sample, an instrument or what! I think I liked these guys because I got the feeling that they didn't take themselves too seriously. I felt the party coming through the speakers. When I found this 12 inch at Neptoon Records it was a no brainer. Had to have it. When I find Sex Packets I'll post 'Doowutchyalike' but for now ya get 'The Humpty Dance'.
