Exclusive Interview With Shock G Of Digital Underground - June 15, 2008 By : Rud
(http://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/shockg/shockg.jpg)
We're back today with another piece from our newest contributor, Jonathan Hay. Digital Underground is riding high into the digital revolution with the highly anticipated album "Cuz a D.U. Party Don't Stop."
This historic album will be the final project released by the multi-platinum Digital Underground crew, ending their twenty-year run of original, highly successful and innovative hip-hop music.
A bona fide pioneer, Shock G and his fascinating character Humpty Hump have been saving some of their best work for last, ending the D.U. era with a historical album that displays the final artistic expression of a group who changed the face of hip-hop forever.
In his true whimsical fashion, Shock G’s candid personality sets the tone for a conversation that is sure to be remembered as he openly shares with Dubcnn about producing Tupac, drugs, cosmetic surgery, escaping police and his experience working with George Clinton.
Take a journey to the underground with Dubcnn and spend a few moments with a legend – the madly eccentric, yet highly sophisticated, wonderfully colorful, yet surprisingly transparent, very hilarious and all too serious. The bold, bright and beautiful Shock G.

great interview, this bit cracked me up
George Clinton is an extraterrestrial, I don't believe he's even from this planet, I think he's from the 12th planet, a.k.a. Planet-X, or planet Nibiru. Nibiru is where many of the original Egyptians are from, who designed & built the pyramids.

^^ Yeah that was funny ;D

thanks for the interview ;)
Dubcnn: What does the West Coast need to do to get back on top?
Man, we're all on this little rock together, flyin around the sun. Especially wit the internet now, the whole world's becoming one big city. People are connecting with other people around the world who share the same interests. Trippin on "coasts" & "turf" is like some caveman shit these dayz.
so true.

Great interview... looking forward to his 2Pac book - I much preferred the old 2Pac who hung out with Shock G than the Death Row uber-gangster version of 2Pac who unfortunately every wannabe thug kid now models himself on
-
one of the last freaks ... great interview, mad props!
i wish that one day i'll have the chance to see digital underground live 8)
peace out
-
... just to let you know... there will be a Shock Talk Volume 2 (here at dubcnn) real soon. Shock G opens up even more about EVERYTHING!!! Stay tuned!!!

Right on! If you look in the right places, you can find that album on the internet, or buy it, because it is worth it. The Humpty-Hump persona was a different way to express himself, to have fun, be marketable. DU doesn't get the credit they deserve, but they did have success, and Shock touched on that very well in the interview. I look forward to the next one, he is full of quotables.
