There's no sound we love more than old school rap. This little clique is Digital Underground, the first major rap act out of the Bay Area, and one of the most eclectic hip-hip acts of all time. Heavily influenced by 1970s funk, Digital Underground toured for nearly 20 years before Greg "Shock G" Jacobs announced last year that their May 2008 release "...Cuz A d.u. Party Don't Stop!" would be their last. Pour a little out for one of the most original acts Hip-Hop history. (Sorry, no "Humpty Dance." We don't play like that. )
There couldn't be a more succinct expression of Digital Underground's oeuvre than "Freaks of the Industry," from their bustout album, "Sex Packets."
Where do get those Sex Packets? From the "Packet Man" of course.
Okay, it's not technically a DU cut. "I Get Around" is the second single from Tupac Shakur's second album, but some of those rappers sure look familiar.
