I never understood why "Body Hat Syndrome" doesn't get much love.
It's their most consistent album, and "Return of the Crazy One" is the jam.

U.T.F.O might be the original Outkast... hmmm




Really? You think?? I don't quite see the connection.....Though I love me some UTFO!


nod Agreed, used to looooove UTFO back in the day. Don't think that UTFO and Outkast are connected in any way.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Seems like they were mixing rap and funk way back when.....

Also should I buy Sex Packets or Paid in Full??

Any suggestions??


Get both. Packets is a classic masterpiece and those dudes took party rap to a whole nother level but they werent some Will Smith soft shit.

I love DU, but Paid In Full is more essential.


They both are. DU marks the impact of the over-the-top party rap band that kinda started with De La.

Digital Underground are alot better than Outkast IMO.

Hip Hop Doll and other free DU songs can be found on Shock G's website.




I also think i prefer them to Outkast....

By the way, i'm embarrassed to say I used to think Shock G and Humpty were 2 different people.


Dont worry, some people STILL do! lol

I see where u are coming from, but Digital were far from being the only rap act to mix funk into their sound. Take West Coast acts such as N.W.A., which morphed into Eazy E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre. All of their solo works were so deep into Parliament,(musically) that it wasn't even funny. Much like D.U., they were honouring the hell out of P Funk.




but even still, didn't DU come out before NWA??


Hell no. DU didn't come out until 1990, NWA broke up by the time Boyz N the Hood came out in 91

even "Who Got The Gravy" was fairly decent with some great samples/beats
