I am too late. 😢 After the death of DMX, I realized that I never gave Shock G his #HeartbeatProps. I was planning to post something in this space telling him how much he and his work meant to me. But... 😢. Since I was a teen, I have never been without music by #DigitalUnderground or #EarthWindAndFire. They were always the first tapes or CD i grabbed when leaving out or first albums I loaded on a new MP3 player or cellphone. Shock G (-bka- Gregory Jacobs -aka- Humpty Hump -aka- Piano Man) and @moneyb69 have travelled with me by car, train, subway, motorcycle, airplane, bus, or on foot since “Sex Packets”dropped in 1990. While most people remember him as Edward Ellington “Humpty Hump” Humphrey III, it was his powerful yet elegant work as Piano Man where you saw his genius. From his lyrics, to his beats, to his skits, to his performances... Shock gave us everything. From “Arguin’ on the Funk” to “Sons of the P” to “Carry the Way” to “Peanut Hakim” to “The Gravy” and every musical interlude. His genius just spills out of every track. Thank you Shock. #Digi4Life. Peace and love to @moneyb69, @younghumpdu, their crew, and families. #ShockG #GregoryJacobs #DigitalUnderground #DU #PianoMan #music #HipHop https://www.instagram.com/p/CN_zYTshf1w/?igshid=1avuvcvtxmdvo
