Digital Underground - Future Rhythm (1996)

"Future Rhythm" still stands as digital underground's best album (which is saying a lot--they never put out a less than incredible album), as well as one of the most slept-on hiphop albums ever.
Shock-G (a.k.a. Humpty Hump, aka MC Blowfish, aka The Piano Man, aka Peanut Hakeem Anafu Washington...etc) reigns as the most multi-talented MC in hiphop history: he raps (as himself and numerous hilarious characters), he sings, he plays slick piano as The Piano Man ("Future Rhythm" esp. highlights his piano skills), he creates beats, and he draws (check out his artwork on the covers & in the liner notes of their albums, and go to ShockG.com to view his comic strip "*holes"... very hilarious stuff). Name another MC who can do all that... quick, you have 5 seconds... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... see, you can't do it, BECAUSE NO OTHER MC CAN DO ALL THAT. Shock-Geesus reigns supreme...

In the early 90s, years before Dre was sporting Funkadelic shirts in his videos, digital underground brought P-Funk to the forefront of hiphop culture. With their brilliant usage of sampling, they reworked Parliament's "Let's Play House" into the smash hit "The Humpty Dance"... and created a new generation of funkateers. If it wasn't for digital underground, I wouldn't be the funkateer I am today...

Every hiphop enthusiast should own a copy of "Future Rhythm." Featuring slick rhymes & singing, synthesized electronic futuristic bumpin beats, a hilarious Money-B skit about Humpty's sister "Rumpty Rump," and a Del the Funky Homosapien cameo, this albums also stands as one of the greatest love-makin' albums of all time...
