Shock G and the PFunk legacy - Pt.1
HipHop has suffered quite a few losses in the past year with the deaths of MF Doom, Black Rob, DMX, and, most recently, Gregory Jacobs, aka Shock G, aka MC Blowfish, aka Pianoman, aka Rackadelic, aka Humpty Hump.
In part 1 of this two-part episode J (@HipHopTaliban), Black Cloud (@AndreCole), and the Professor (@abjrphd) look at the legacy of Shock G and Digital Underground through the lens of the group’s classic first album, Sex Packets, examining the way Shock G used his reverence for Parliament-Funkadelic to craft a classic PFunk homage. Along the way, the fellas reach back and listen to some of the original funk and rock joints that set HipHop’s foundation! And the Professor gives a preview of his forthcoming book, For the Culture: HipHop and the Fight for Social Justice.
