    Watch the official video and see the dance you’ll also see Tupac dancing on stage as well; he was a dancer with digital underground before his solo career kicked off! RIP Shock G and Tupac!

      Tupac is also seen with Digital Underground in the movie Nothing But Trouble. Great 90s flick. Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Demi Moore, Taylor Negron and many many more.

    The Humpty Dance is "let the music possess you and flail around doing anything without caring what you look like". It was the direct opposite of the highly sychronized band and audience-participation dances of the 80's, such as shown in Prince and Morris Day music video's of the time. Although they were kind of parodying the movement in the Purple Rain movie as well.

    So glad to see you enjoy this. Alternative rap group from Oakland,led by Shock G. Their rap and music was innovative, fun and funky. Fun fact....launched the career of the one and only, Tupac. Tupac later joined up with Digital Underground for his hit "I Get Around ". Check out
    "DO WAT YOU LIKE" and "Same Song".
    Good work guys👏👏👏👏

    Asia and BJ - you're in luck - thanks to the magic that is UA-cam, you too can learn how to do the Humpty Dance. There's a dance tutorial video called *"How to Do the Humpty Dance | Hip-Hop Dancing"* on the *HowCast* channel. That sounds like something you DEFINITELY should film yourselves doing for your vlog channel. 🙂

    Seen it all the underground from Thrash to Punk Headbangers and your black and Hispanic friends played this stuff, two worlds that occasionally bumped into each other in amazement, I'm we shock them to.
    We still talk once in a bit.
