A rap group from Oakland, led by (New York's) Shock G, whose use of Funkadelic samples helped bring George Clinton back (again) from the Hipness Abyss; De La Soul's "Me, Myself, and I" didn't hurt either. Famous alumnus: Tupac Shakur, still dead as of this writing - how's thug life now, dude? Famous non-alumnus: Humpty Hump, Shock's Groucho glasses-wearing alter ego, the lead evangelist of the "Humpty Dance".
