The mother of Notorious BIG has passed away... RIP to one Ms Voletta Wallace (02/03/1953 - 02/21/2025) and like Tupac Mother Afeni Shakur now both these ladies are gone. They didn't get to live to see full justice in the death of their son but at least Ms Wallace was able to see the law catching up to Sean "Diddy" Combs.
She can rest knowing that the law will finally put Diddler where he belongs for good.. ON DEATH ROW. And I don't mean the record label. But yeah looks bad for Diddy as he's been denied 50 Million for bail remember. But to be honest this news is still sad as Voletta like Afeni were strong women who had to live with the tragic passing of their kids over hate by demons in the music industry who were directly tied to street gangs which did the dirty work for these monsters in the record industry.
But again sadly now now they all gone but now in Heaven together so may The lord may keep them all in his glory. RIP
This was the official report...
đď¸ We suffered a tremendous loss today. Our mother, our matriarch, the woman who dedicated herself to uplifting her son, Christopher Wallace, and preserving his legacy has passed. It is with immense sadness that we share this news with you, and ask that you give our family the space and time needed to grieve this monumental loss. Thank you for your continued outpouring of love, prayers and condolences in this difficult time.
Please know that we will reach out in the coming days to share how we can all honor Ms. Wallace.
Thank you for your extraordinary support and love.
So BIG Suge Knight seems to be "snitching" with claims that Mr Barry Soetoro better known as Barack Obama and T.D. Jakes attended Diddy's freak-off parties and well you know took part in well you know the things. So While Diddy remains in federal custody, American record held at RTA Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, joined a YouTube podcast on November 13 for a phone interview. Speaking on Sit Down With Michael Franzese, Knight discussed topics ranging from Diddy and Jeffrey Epstein to the broader entertainment industry.
At one point, the interviewer, Michael Franzese, gave viewers some context, saying, "It has shades of Epstein already, you know, that there's a lot of celebrity names, a lot of elite names, a lot of big people involved allegedly. Some people are running for cover. We haven't heard all of these names⌠You think Obama had anything to do with any of these parties that he had?" Suge responded, "Absolutely.. You got presidents. You got preachers. T.D. Jakes is one of the biggest black preachers around that everybody loves." Diddy and Suge have known each other for decades. According to a July 2024 People Magazine report, nearly thirty years ago, on September 7, 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur was riding in the passenger seat of a black BMW driven by Knight, then head of Death Row Records. A drive-by shooting occurred as they were leaving an event.
Tupac was critically injured and died after six days in the hospital. Knight was also injured but survived. In August 2023, prosecutors alleged that Duane "Keefe D" Davis, a suspect in Tupacâs murder, was the gang leader who organized the killing. As reported by Fox 5 Vegas in July 2024, Davis claimed that Diddy had allegedly asked him to kill both Knight and Shakur. During the podcast interview, Knight also discussed Diddyâs parties, alleging that attendees included Usher, former President Obama, and T.D. Jakes.
He also touched on Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died by suicide in custody in 2019. Michael Franzese, who mentioned having spent seven months under high security on the same tier as Epstein, noted that committing suicide under such conditions seemed unlikely, and Knight agreed. The interviewer then questioned what fate might await Combs, given the involvement of high-profile individuals. Franzese speculated that, with so many notable people implicated, a cover-up could be attempted, but the extensive attention on the case might prevent that from happening.
Well nothing on Earth has captivated us more than the election of President Trump! But a close second this year was the take down of Sean "Diddy" Combs who as we know now is on the same level as Jeffery Epstein. But here now past the election and while Trump and company will continue to make news and important one's we cannot forget the other good times we're having with the take down of the most vicious, evil, and disgusting person to ever pick up a microphone and post a rap on a beat. YES The diddler himself! Sean is back in the news again! Check this out friends the Diddler is now accused Of Dangling A Woman Off 17th Floor Balcony, âDiddyâ was Hit With $10M LA Sexual Battery Suit. So yes the hit's keep on coming during the holidays! MAN 2024 is going out in style!
The now Denied bail for the third time scumbag who remember is locked up in his East Coast federal sex trafficking case just before Thanksgiving is said to have done the dangling of the woman off a West Coast apartment building balcony in rage eight years ago. A jury-seeking complaint was filed on November 27 in L.A. Superior Court that has a lot of details, several appearances by the Bad Boy Records founderâs ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura (whoâs alleged abuse, bruises and more by Combs are described frequently), some photos, and an ask for compensation âbelieved to be in excess of $10 million.â Man talk about he's never "Going, Going, Back, Back to Cali, Cali!" Unless he's in an orange suit, and in lock down. LMAO Oh man I love reading about anything that hurts this guy... I really hate Sean with passion and I don't often say this about people.
Having quickly settled an abuse and rape lawsuit from Ventura for around $30 million in November 2023, Combs has since been accused in an ever enlarging throng of dozens and dozens of civil suits of drugging, violently threatening, potentially blackmailing, beating, and raping music industry hopefuls and others in his celebrity filled âfreak offsâ and more. Arrested in a NYC hotel lobby by the feds on September 16, the 55-year-old Combs is charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. Currently incarcerated in the infamous Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, the All About the Benjamins performer could face life in prison if found guilty in a trial set to start on May 5, 2025.
Other than the passing mentioned Venturaâs suit, plus more details that have been whispered about for months and openly discussed (with no victims named besides Ventura) on social media and in more traditional media by songwriter Tiffany Red last year, the claims in this latest lawsuit could find Combs facing bicoastal courtrooms. âOn or about September 26. 2016, Sean âP. Diddyâ Combs sexually battered Ms. Bryana âBanaâ Bongolan, dangled her off of a 17-story-high balcony. and then slammed her into the patio furniture on the balcony,â alleges the seven-claim November 27-filed complaint from the self-described âquintessential starving artistâ and one-time Combs clothing designer of what happened to her in Venturaâs luxury Los Angeles pad.
âHis outrageous and abhorrent conduct violated Ms. Bongolanâs fundamental dignity, bodily autonomy, and sense of safety,â according to the document. It goes on to detail the supposed attack that occurred at an apartment of Venturaâs where Bongolan was staying with her girlfriend and the singer when an enraged Combs showed up pounding on the door. âThis event was the culmination of a series of threats, intimidation, and violence that colored many of Ms. Bongolanâs interactions with Mr. Combs from the day she met him.â âThe September 26 assault ultimately proved that Ms. Bongolan was correct to fear Mr. Combs and has resulted in deep and lasting harm,â the filing by Miller Barondessâ James R. Nikraftar adds of the West L.A.-set incident. âMr. Combsâ threats that he was the âmotherf*cking devil,â and that âhe could killâ her were intended to terrorize intimidate, and instill fear. Therefore when he forcibly groped her breasts, dangled her from a balcony and battered her, she reasonably believed that Mr. Combsâ assault was him making good on his threats.â
If the suspending of someone from a balcony seems familiar out of hip hop lore, thatâs because the likes of currently jailed former Death Row Records boss Suge Knight and others have been said to have done just that in the past. Probably the most well-known of such potentially tragic tales is when ex-NFL replacement player Knight supposedly dangled Vanilla Ice off the side of a Bel Air building for the publishing rights to his megahit âIce, Ice Babyâ in the early 1990's. It should be noted that Vanilla Ice has said over and over that the whole thing has been greatly exaggerated, Knight never held him off a balcony, and the whole thing was settled in court later.
In this case, with Combs, it is exactly the opposite and for much more than money. As the 17-page complaint declares: âThe only purpose of dangling someone over a balcony is to actually kill them or to intentionally terrorize them and rob them of any concept of dominion over their own bodily autonomy and safety. It should be no surprise that is exactly what happened to Ms. Bongolan.â Taking into account that Combs has denied all claims against him, and of late in his East Coast criminal case seems to be walking back his apology earlier this year of a 2016 hotel corridor beating of Ventura captured on a security camera, it is no surprise his representatives are rejecting Bangolanâs West Coast claims.
âAs we have shared previously, anyone has the right to file a lawsuit, regardless of the evidence they may or may not have,â Combs attorneys told Deadline in statement today about the case. âSince last year, Ms. Bangolan (sic) has expressed an intention to sue Mr. Combs and has sought legal representation to pursue her claims. Mr. Combs firmly denies these serious allegations and remains confident they will ultimately be proven baseless. He has unwavering faith in the facts and in the fairness of the judicial process. In court, the truth will come to light, demonstrating that the claims against Mr. Combs are without merit.â
Folks I hope that Diddy ends up living out his life in a cell with Suge Knight as his cellmate... This would be a happy ending wouldn't you think? So also let's keep in mind that if he gets convicted and goes to population the other inmates will have fun with him and well heâs not going to be a star heâs going to be prey and thatâs where he should be.
Also just for some fun it's come to my attention that there is a little clue in a movie about Diddy we all seemed to miss from decades ago!
Remember "Austin Powers: Goldmember" ? Well there is a scene near the end where "Austin" and "Dr Evil" are working together as friends after finding out they're brothers.
The movie trilogy is hilarious! But in this one scene Austin and Dr Evil are going up a ladder and Austin is going up first and while he loses his footing and falls down he catches his fall on Dr Evils pants, and manages to rip them down to expose his bare ass, and he lands on the exact place to see a "Butt cheek" tattoo on Dr Evil that says "E. Diddy" on it... Like a "TRAMP STAMP" and remember Dr. Evil been to Jail. lol Wonder if he got lost in a Diddy party freak off also! But if you missed it here are the pictures below from my digital copy as screen shots.
Well now that finally there has been an arrest in the now 27 year old cold case of the murder of rap megastar Tupac Shakur. The person arrested as we know is Keefe D who confessed to being part of the hit and he said he handed the weapon used in the murder to his cousin Orlando Anderson. But were they paid to have pac killed? Now the claims is that P. Diddy paid for the NYC 94 hit on PAC and that money he paid was why Keefe D and his crew ended up executing PAC in 1996 after the initial attempt on his life didn't go as planned and PAC survived the 94 attempt on his life.
Now it's being said a possible copy of the check provided by P. Diddy might have leaked online? Well let's look at this video below addressing this matter further in a way that well is pretty damning on Diddy. Personally I feel Sean Combs known as Diddy had an involvement in both Tupac & Biggies murders and the shooter was Orlando Anderson and his people from the crip gang sect he belonged too. Orlando Anderson was also killed months after Tupac died. Now I've thought this since the late 90's but not until Keefe D came forward did it all start to unravel.
This video is very interesting and revealing on what could very well be 100% correct in how it ties Combs to the shootings, and well I think it's time justice comes for the BADBOY executive who indeed belongs investigated and if found guilty should be sent ironically to DEATH ROW for his crimes on both icons losing their lives. I've hated Sean Combs since I first laid eyes on him as he looks like a lying snake in my opinion.
Again if this is proven he belongs rotting in prison on Death Row...
Does BIG'S mom Voletta Wallace feel this way? Find out below...
This poor woman had to lose her son due to his association with Sean Combs? IF This is true man oh man does Sean Combs belong in prison. I feel so badly for her and the late Afeni Shakur who both has suffered the biggest loss any parent could face losing their child to crime with nobody caring enough to see Justice carried out and looking on ways to solve these crimes. Now that finally there has been one arrest again of Keefe D perhaps we might see movement in solving both murders.
While I never Met Tupac in person he's my all time favorite artist/rapper and I did also love Biggies music and was a fan of his, and got to meet him back after "Ready 2 Die" came out at a restaurant here near Miami Airport as he and members of Junior Mafia were here to represent at a show in South Beach to promote his "Ready to Die" album. He was from my only encounter with him as a very nice guy and while I was a kid he spoke to me on the level, and had this to say to me... "Don't think you can't be great even if you're family is poor young man stay positive... Look at me and how I've made it even tho I wasn't born rich." He was not the evil person in my opinion or how some people claimed.
But might have been stuck in the middle of this beef with Tupac because of Combs. So I do hope the law catches whoever killed these two icons. Hope justice is served once and for all and these men get to finally rest in peace.
So nearly 30 years after we lost the most influential voice in the music I love most hip hop, and the artist who's music has been my favorite since his first cd came out 2pacalypse now in the early 90's, thereâs movement in the case of Tupac Shakurâs murder. Hereâs what we know so far as of now the unsolved killing of Tupac has taken a new twist. Authorities in Nevada confirmed that they served a search warrant this week in connection with the rap starâs shooting death in 1996.
One of the last living witnesses to the fatal drive-by shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas was charged with murder with use of a deadly weapon Friday in the 1996 killing, a long-awaited breakthrough in a case that has frustrated investigators and fascinated the public ever since the hip-hop icon was gunned down 27 years ago.
A Nevada grand jury indicted Duane âKeffe Dâ Davis in the killing, prosecutors announced in court Friday. Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo said a grand jury had been seated in the case for âseveral months.â DiGiacomo described Davis as the âon-ground, on-site commanderâ who âordered the deathâ of Shakur.
The charges were revealed hours after Davis, 60, was arrested this morning while on a walk near his home, according to DiGiacomo. Davis has long been known to investigators and has himself admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir, âCompton Street Legend,â that he was in the Cadillac from which the gunfire erupted during the September 1996 drive-by shooting. Shakur was 25 when he was killed.
Police seized laptops, memoir from Vegas-area home of witness to Tupac Shakurâs 1996 killing in a Las Vegas-area home searched by police investigating the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996 is tied to Duane âKeffe Dâ Davis.
Tupac Shakurâs long-unsolved killing again under spotlight as Las Vegas police conduct search Authorities in Nevada say they have served a search warrant in connection with the long-unsolved killing of rapper Tupac Shakur in September 1996. Las Vegas police raided a home in mid-July in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson that is tied to Davis. Police were looking for items âconcerning the murder of Tupac Shakur,â according to the search warrant. They collected multiple computers, a cellphone and hard drive, a Vibe magazine that featured Shakur, several .40-caliber bullets, two âtubs containing photographsâ and a copy of Davisâ memoir.
Clark County District Judge Jerry Wiese denied Davis bail. âIt has often been said that justice delayed is justice denied,â District Attorney Steve Wolfson said after the hearing in a brief comment to AP. âIn this case, justice has been delayed, but justice wonât be denied.â
It wasnât immediately clear if Davis has an attorney who can comment on his behalf. Davis hasnât responded to multiple phone and text messages from The Associated Press seeking comment or an interview in the more than two months since the house raid.
Shakur was in a BMW driven by Death Row Records founder Marion âSugeâ Knight in a convoy of about 10 cars. They were waiting at a red light when a white Cadillac pulled up next to them and gunfire erupted. Shakur was shot multiple times and died a week later at the age of 25.
The rapperâs death came as his fourth solo album, âAll Eyez on Me,â remained on the charts, with some 5 million copies sold. Nominated six times for a Grammy Award, Shakur is still largely considered one of the most influential and versatile rappers of all time by rap fans world wide. Rumors that he's still alive, and hidding in fear for his life has been around since the day his death was announced. Now with this investigation and arrest perhaps both Tupac and his amazing mother Afeni Shakur who also left the earth a short while ago can both find peace. This is good news for the fans, family, and the loved ones of both Afeni and Tupac.
In his memoir, Davis said he was in the front passenger seat of the Cadillac and had slipped the gun used in the killing into the backseat, from where he said the shots were fired.
Davis implicated his nephew, Orlando âBaby Laneâ Anderson, saying he was one of two people in the backseat. Anderson, a known rival of Shakur, had been involved in a casino brawl with the rapper shortly before the shooting.
After the casino brawl, âMr. Davis formulated a plan to exact revenge upon Mr. Knight and Mr. Shakurâ in his nephewâs defense, DiGiacomo said. Anderson died two years later. He had denied at the time being involved Shakurâs death. Something nobody believed but Davis revealed in his memoir when he first broke his silence in 2010 during a closed-door meeting with federal and local authorities.
At the time, he was 46 and facing life in prison on drug charges when he agreed to speak with them about Tupacâs killing, as well as the fatal shooting six months later of Tupacâs rap rival, Biggie Smalls, also known as the Notorious B.I.G.
They offered to let me go for running a âcriminal enterpriseâ and numerous alleged murders for the truth about the Tupac and Biggie murders,â he wrote. âThey promised they would shred the indictment and stop the grand jury if I helped them out.â
Shakur was feuding at the time with rap rival Biggie Smalls, who was fatally shot in March 1997. At the time, both rappers were in the middle of an East Coast-West Coast rivalry that primarily defined the hip-hop scene during the mid-1990s. Greg Kading, a retired Los Angeles police detective who spent years investigating the Shakur killing and wrote a book about it, said heâs not surprised by Davisâ arrest.
The former Los Angeles police detective said he believed the investigation gained new momentum in recent years following Davisâ public descriptions of his role in the killing, including his 2019 memoir.
âItâs those events that have given Las Vegas the ammunition and the leverage to move forward,â Kading said. âPrior to Keffe Dâs public declarations, the cases were unprosecutable as they stood.â
The sad part is that this took so long, and Afeni didn't get to see this. This is awesome news. Made my day a whole lot better. NOT shocked I knew for years Keefe D, Orlando Anderson, and the Dancing Queen in Diddy were all involved. NOW I hope it all comes out. Hope if Diddy is indeed involved he goes to prison for life.
The music industry and beyond is sending prayers and best wishes to Krayzie Bone, one of the original members of legendary group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony which is by far the greates Rap Group in Cleveland history. He went to the hospital after coughing up blood, and found out that a lung artery was leaking. Krayzie Bone who's real name is Anthony Henderson, is tackling a condition known as sarcoidosis (an inflammatory disease in his organs) which exacerbates his current health struggles. In 2016, Krayzie Bonetold TMZthat he was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, which is âcharacterized by the growth of inflammatory cellsâ known as granulomas that are commonly found in the lungs and lymph nodes, but can be found anywhere in the body, according to theMayo Clinic.
It is unclear if Krayzie Bone's recent hospitalization is related to his condition, though member Layzie Bone did ask for prayers on Tuesday and said an update would be forthcoming.
"In this challenging moment, as the immediate and Bone thugs family rallies behind my brother, we humbly ask for a moment of privacy. Our family is facing the unexpected hospitalization of Krayzie Bone with strength, and your prayers are a beacon of hope," he wrote on Instagram. "Soon, weâll share an update, but for now, let us come together and keep our love and thoughts focused on his recovery.
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony which consists of members Krayzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Wish Bone, Layzie Bone and Flesh-n-Bone was formed in 1991 in Cleveland, Ohio.
Your support means the world to us, and we truly appreciate your understanding during this time." The rapperâs fellow Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Bizzy Bone wrote on his Instagram Story on Sunday, âPray 4 Kray.â
The group is regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop/rap groups of all time with hits âThuggish Ruggish Bone,â â1st of tha Monthâ and âEast 1999, Rebirth (With Thin C), Thug Luv (With 2pac)â The Grammy-winning group is the only rap group to have collaborated with Tupac Shakur, the Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun and Eazy-E before they died. Krayzie Bone also pursued a solo career in the late '90s with the release of his debut studio album Thug Mentality 1999. The project was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Well itâs like pac said âThey talk shit when Iâm gone cause they fear me in the physical form⌠Iâm Troublesome.â Now More than 25 years later which is as long as 2pac lived, Nas and Tupac were entwined in a short-lived hip-hop beef which blew up due to the 2PAC & B.i.G Beef. It began in 1996, when Nas released his second album, It Was Written. It featured âThe Message,â a track on which Tupac believed he was dissed. Tupac later released âAgainst All Odds,â with his own shots at Nas. But before they patched things up, Tupac was tragically killed in a shooting.
Soy 25 years after their beef came to an end, Vibe reports that an unreleased record by Nas has leaked, and it features him taking strong shots at the late rapper. His attacks arrive halfway through the songâs first verse. âFrom tube-socks in Timbs to blue rocks and Benz / Who got the ends, the type of n***a 2Pac pretends,â Nas raps. âTo all n****s who shine, guess who got revenge / I wonât showboat, my flow choke you.â This marks the first time fans hear Nas directly, unambiguously diss Tupac on a record.
Last summer, Nas spoke about the moment Tupac confronted him about the alleged (though not confirmed) diss on âThe Messageâ during an interview on Ebro In The Morning. Nas explained that he thought I was dissing him on the song âThe Message,â and I heard he was dissing me at clubs,â the rapper revealed. âHe was like âYo Nas, we brothers, man. We not supposed to go through this.â And Iâm like, thatâs what Iâm saying.â He added, âWe had a plan to squash it in Vegas. So I was out there when he was in the hospital, praying for him to come through. Rest in peace.â
While the lyrics are clever it just shows that NAS didnât mean anything said in that and it was all rhymes because he quickly was able to end their feud, and was at the hospital as 2Pac passed in 1996.
In his reply to NAS Pac has this track which was recorded but never released, and itâs part of the music still in the vault from the recordings Tupac has that well have yet to be on an official cd release. This track is fire, and I could see with the right production it could be mixed into at least 2 tracks with other rappers banging on it to fill out a new Tupac cd. Perhaps Tha Outlawz might want to get this on their future cds? OR maybe Amaru Records will put that idea on a future pac cd who knows.
So June 16, 1971 was the day Tupac was born, and after a short 25 years of life his life was cut short by a shooter, and one who is believed to have been Orlando Anderson the same dude who Tupac, and others on Death Row Records got into a fight the night Tupac was shot at the MGM hotel. This has been a long rumor since that fateful night, and one which I believe to be on point given my own person investigation into the shooting over the last 2 decades. Yes which includes actually speaking to people involved in the life of Pac, and who knew Orlando Anderson. They all think Orlando did it, and it was all set up after their fight. The current theme for years has been that Orlando called Biggie, and PDiddy and told them what happened, and they said to find him, shoot them, and the hit was for both Pac & Suge. Only Pac was hit the most, and died as a result, and the rest is now in the history books sadly.
A number of rumors have spread about the rapper over the years like when Suge Knight previously said the rapper had spoken about faking his own death when they were on vacation. His son, Suge J. Knight, is convinced Tupac is living in Malaysia and that his death was staged by the Illuminati. Many âsightingsâ over the years have led people to believe that the star faked his own death, while others are convinced heâs living in plain sight.
Also Jada Pinkett Smith and Tupac Shakurâs relationship has long been a topic of discussion and she went as far as to trash the biopic about Tupac âAll Eyez on Meâ which came out a few years ago as she said it didnât show their relationship how it went down for real, and from what I was told that was done out of respect to her since she has not really spoken publicly a lot about their time together but she took it the wrong way and got mad. The two were high school classmates at the Baltimore School for the Arts, Tupac played Jadaâs still head-over-heels in love ex-boyfriend on A Different World, and their platonic friendship is one that has been both admired and envied by many, including Jadaâs husband, Will Smith.
In honor of his memory and what would have been the rapperâs 50th birthday, Jada shared a never-before-seen poem Tupac wrote. I think this is where he got the song name, and partial lyrics for the track âLost Soulzâ with Tha Outlawz. Anyway check out the video posted by her below.
You can read the full poem below: Some say nothing gold can last forever And 2 believe this I need no proof I have witnessed all that was pure in me Be changed by the evil men can do The innocence possessed by children Once lived inside my soul But surviving years with criminal peers Has turned my warm heart to cold I used 2 dream and fantasize But now Iâm scared 2 sleep Petrified, not to live or die But to awaken and still be me It is true that nothing gold can last We will all one day see death When the purest hearts are torn apart Lost souls are all thatâs left Down on my knees I beg of God To save me from this fate Let me live to see what was gold in me Before it is all too late
WOW another major blow to the nation of hip hop⌠Gregory Edward Jacobs, known professionally as Shock G, was an American musician, rapper, and lead vocalist for the hip hop group Digital Underground has passed away, and man has 2021 just not sucked? Itâs now taken now 3 icons, and with just recently losing Black Rob, and DMX I thought things would calm down, and we wouldnât endure more loses in 2021 but man this one again another punch to the gut as yet another rap icon who helped shape my generation of hip hop fans is gone too soon.
Shock G who again was responsible with Money B for rap group "Digital Underground" which spawned âThe Humpty Danceâ performed by Shock G as Humpty Hump. He also was on 2Pacâs breakthrough single âI Get Aroundâ, and co-producer of 2Pacâs debut album 2Pacalypse and now has left the world for the next level of our spiritual evolution. He now joins Tupac and others who have since passed away. Iâve been a long time fan of both his, and Money B the head honcho of Digital Underground (who I have the honor of knowing and calling a friend.) Even got to work with Money B on an artist website he had for a while, and met him thanks to my friend Mike "Outtasite" Singleton who I was an old co-host & Producer of his on his podcast show. "Outtasite Radio" which ran for two years on the networks I'm still currently on. PSN RADIO & SoFloRadio.
This news comes as shocking as any, and sad as you can imagine. I remember as a kid watching them on the film âNothing but Troubleâ and loved the song in that movie so much I became an instant fan⌠This lead to my following another artist who was in the crew with them, and you might know this guys name he was called umâŚâŚ. Oh yea! Tupac Shakur! The thing is without Digital Underground I canât say we would have met Tupac when we did, and how we did, and he would have gone to become the icon, and face of a generation for minorities in America.
Now while that song is dope Digital Underground will always be best known for this! The Humpty Dance! Letâs be real this is an iconic gimmick. Shock G played both himself, and the iconic âHumpty Humpâ and this song here is one of hip hopâs all time classic tracks.
Throughout Shock Gâs rapping career, he created several aliases, resulting in characters that were maintained with such reality, they were believed to be separate people by some music fans, even a few industry insiders.
As âRackadelicâ he illustrated album covers and provided art direction; as the âPiano Manâ he contributed keyboard tracks and music production. His main persona âShock Gâ utilized a more natural voice, while he altered his voice to become âHumpty Hump,â an iconic character with an exaggerated buffoon persona, colorful clothes, and a Groucho glasses-and-nose disguise. He used a nasal voice for the character Humpty. At most public appearances, Jacobs would show up as one person or the other, but at live shows and video shoots he would use a stand-in or camera tricks to maintain the illusion. A fictional biography was constructed for Humpty, the story being that Edward Ellington Humphrey III, former lead singer of âSmooth Eddie and the Humpers,â had become a rapper after burning his nose in a kitchen accident with a deep-fryer (the story was even told by Casey Kasem himself on his then countdown show Caseyâs Top 40). Jacobs also sometimes performed as other characters including MC Blowfish, Icey-Michael Boston, The Computer Woman, ButtaFly, and Peanut Hakeem.
Shock Gâs TV appearances include Showtime at the Apollo in 1992, several The Arsenio Hall Show performances between 1990 and 1994, and several live MTV performances, including MTV Spring Break 1990 in Daytona Beach, Yo MTV Raps (performing live with Ed Lover and Doctor DrĂŠ) in 1991, Club MTV Live (with Downtown Julie Brown) in 1992, and MTV Jams in 1994. Most of these consisted of music performances with either Digital Underground or 2Pac, however, on an episode of the 1991 sitcom Drexellâs Class Jacobs played a small acting role as a furnace repairman. Within the showâs story, the title character, Otis Drexell, insists that the furnace repairman looks exactly like Humpty Hump, but both himself and his coworker (Jason Priestley), have never heard of any such hip-hop artist, especially not one with such a ridiculous name. The episode ends with a live performance of Digital Undergroundâs âNo Nose Jobâ on a cruise ship full of Sports Illustrated swimsuit models, which is presented as a scene from one of Mr. Drexellâs dreams.
With his Digital Underground band members, Jacobs appeared in the Dan Aykroyd directed comedy Nothing but Trouble appearing as both Shock-G and Humpty Hump. The group makes a cameo music performance, as well as play a small character role in the film as themselves. Since then, Jacobs has appeared in a handful of music documentaries, including Thug Angel: Life of an Outlaw (2000) about Tupac Shakur, and Parliament Funkadelic: One Nation Under a Groove (1996) about George Clinton & P-Funk, both of which received heavy TV rotation, and both of which relied heavily on Jacobsâ commentary.
On June 24, 2011, Shock G was featured on an episode of the podcast âYou Had To Be Thereâ with comedians Nikki Glaser and Sara Schaefer.
