TMZ reported that the cause of death is unknown, but there were no obvious signs of trauma. Shock G was 57-years-old when he passed away.
Admittedly, I don’t know anything about Shock G other than the fact he sang “The Humpty Dumpty,” which still slaps decades later.
TMZ reported that he worked with Tupac and played a pivot role in the song “I Get Around” from the legendary rapper.
Even though I don’t know much about Shock G, it’s clear the dude made a hell of an impact on music during the early days of hip-hop.
He might have come before my time, but anyone who sang “The Humpty Dumpty” and worked with Tupac is obviously someone who is going to be remembered for a long time.
Before DOOM and Quasimoto, the throne of rap alter egos solely belonged to Shock G’s Humpty Hump. Hip-Hop’s libidinous id, perfectly cast against Shock G’s conscious leadership in Digital Undergeound. Keeper of the funk, house party igniter, simply never bested. pic.twitter.com/bE8Svk6kj2
