Shock G of Digital Underground Retires
Late last week Shock G of Digital Underground shot off a letter to those closest to him announcing his retirement. It came as a shock (no pun intended) as he had just been in the studio with the Haventz that features 2Pac’s adapted younger brother Candyman 187, helping them complete their debut album... It also comes at the heels of some questionable behavior during last month's BET Awards in Los Angeles
A couple of nights before the show, Shock performed with Digital Underground and surprise guest, funk icon George Clinton. During the DU set instead of rapping over their own music, Shock opted to do many of their popular songs over the instrumentals of popular songs by artists like Memphis Bleek and 50 Cent.
After the performance Shock and George holed themselves up in a private dressing room and were not seen for a few days. This meant that Shock was not present with the group when they appeared on Hollywood Blvd for a taping of BET's Rap City. It was impossible for folks to get a hold of Shock and left many disappointed. Prior to that Shock had stopped carrying around a cell phone making it virtually impossible for anyone to get a hold of him..

Tue, July 12, 2005 - 12:58 PMI almost think that old style of recording in big ass studios with huge mixers and soundproof rooms is going out like Le Cog Sportiff sneakers and Members Only jackets. You can do the same thing the big boys do with a regular PC, a keyboard and Pro Tools.
Then again there will always be a need for the studio when you want somewhere to floss and get fellatio from some pigeons you met at the club- guaranteed pussy. -

I love modernity - not having a cell phone is like being on a desert island -
