well I saw Digital Underground Monday nite in Honolulu. Wrote a blog about it, like to hear it, here go...
whoah. Digital Underground was off the chain, serially. That was honestly one of the best hip hop shows I've ever seen, werd, and I've been to a few. To my peeps who flaked, yo, you lost money, lbc, every last one of yall, but shit I didn't mind kickin it up in the hizzle solo, na mean? S'all good.
Two moments stand out in my mind. The first being right after the DJ drops the beat for Tupac's "I get around," ya know, the track with Shock G & Money B? yes of course you do. So Shock grabs a bottle of Hennessy and starts pouring some out right on stage for his homey aka Mr. Shakur. Fukn nice. And he didn't skimp, Shock poured out a good amount, I watched it splash and plop on the platform, getting a nice soak in there. Shock has got this dead serious look on his face, looks up to the sky, and it's like chicken skin, ferreal, you could feel pac in the room. (cough bullshit all you want, and yeah i'd had a few, but it was a moment, ya dig?) This gets the crowd all amped, after which we rap all of Tupac's parts and Shock and Money just strait flow the rest. Shock G puts the satin on the panties and it is all good. Dizope. Strait up dedication style.
The other moment was of course the Humpty Dance. Shock was wearing like jeans with all these funky patches on them and an aloha shirt, but when the DJ drops the beat for the hizump, Shock grabs like this leisure suit blue jacket, puts it on, and the crowd goes nuts, and then he reaches in the pocket of said jacket, and you KNOW whut the fuck he's reaching for, and there they are, the horn rimmed glasses with the big ol' honkin nose, a bright green one, and he puts that shit on and he becomes Humpty, strait up & down, it's like homey changes personalities. Crip as muthafuckin hell. I was wondering how he'd handle the switchbacks between personas, but it was smooth as hell, basically he kicked the humpty hump and then they went strait into dowhatchyalike, and after hump's verse, he took the jacket, glasses, and nose off, and that was it, humpty had left the building.
