Arguably one of the greatest rap lyrics of all time: "Oh yes, ladies, I'm really being sincere; Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear".

RIP. He's headed to that great Burger King bathroom in the sky.
Remember that time he used a word that didn't mean nothing? Like lupid?
Just another hazard of being a fly guy
We should all do the "Humpty Hump" in his memory
He and tupac reunited
My memory is shaky, but I do believe DU played at DeWare back in my day.
RIP to the one who put the satin on your panties...
Just read his wiki page. Pretty fascinating guy.
I had no idea that Humpty's nasally voice was fake. I guess I always thought it was too crazy of a singing voice to be made up. I also had no idea that there was a whole back story for the fake nose.
So many great lines in Humpty Dance, and that bass line is so iconic.
Freaks of the Industry is another good one.

A fictional biography was constructed for Humpty, the story being that Edward Ellington Humphrey III, former lead singer of "Smooth Eddie and the Humpers," had become a rapper after burning his nose in a kitchen accident with a deep-fryer

His name was "Humpty", pronounced dead.
Yep..........March of '92. Indigo Girls played the year before. Can't remember any outside of those two.Big Cat `93 said:

Seems like Toad the Wet Sprocket did, too.
Come here fat girl, are you ticklish? Yeah I called you fat! Look at me I'm skinny. Never stopped me from getting busy!
Did he dress like MC Hammer and OD on crack?

Shock was inspired by Slick Rick. He was originally from Queens, which is why he and 2Pac connected so fast (Eastcoast transplants to the Bay Area). A very underrated producer. Humpty Dance is one of the most sampled songs.
Digital Underground also played at some club at A&M between 96 and 00. I went to that show and when the show ended with the Humpty Dance he walked off stage and I just walked back stage - no one even gave me a second look. I walked up to him shook his hand and we chatted for a minute or two with the nose still on. It was pretty awesome.
Listening to some stories on the radio today from the band - basically said 'I Get Around' was already written and ready to go, and Tupac came to Shock G and said he really needed a big hit for his new album and that Shock basically told him it's "his time" and gave it to him.
I couldn't hear anything for a day or two after going to that concert because of the bass!Big Cat `93 said:

Jesus, that movie is terrible.
Just found out. Damn.
Shock-G was friends with my next door neighbour and used to come over to the house and visit. She said he was a sweetheart.
Luckily, he called out Puerto Ricans like myself to do the Humpty Dance.

No Toad, but we did get Jesus Jones.Big Cat `93 said:

For an instant I thought you were saying that Digital Underground and Indigo Girls played the same show. Most unlikely tour mates ever?deadhead aggie said:Yep..........March of '92. Indigo Girls played the year before. Can't remember any outside of those two.Big Cat `93 said:

I bet there was some other place they'd want to be that night.

I was at that concert, and I kinda wish I had not been right there right then.

And the Violent Femmes.
Hell of an understatement.SWC Ag said:tk for tu juan said:

Don't know how I missed this news about Shock G. Did anybody ever figure out which club it was? Those are the same years I was in school and I don't recall seeing them and if I didn't I don't know why I wouldn't have gone.Fairview said:
