    this was such an important record for me - must have played it a million times in the early 90's.

    "Humpty Dance", "Packet Man", "Underwater Rimes", "Doowhatcha Like","Freaks Of The Industry"....



    I must play this shit this week, its been a while! I never really got into their subsequent releases though.

    I think Sons Of The P is really good... and I really like Body Hat Syndrome but mostly for the early Saafir appearances.

    Yes, indeed! Very underrated group and DJ Fuze is still a bad dude on the decks.


    I guess this is as good a thread as any to post this DU remix I made recently (even if "Kiss You Back" wasn't on Sex Packets):

    Yeah, I remember "Doowutchyalike" and "Humpty Dance" in late '89

    I even think the "Underwater Rimes" 12" came out as early as '88. I might be wrong, though.



    Yup, it came out in 88, forgot I had this at home. Nice artwork as well by Rackadelic, don't know if this is another Shock G psuedonym.

    Hi,

    I remember listing to "Sex Packets" in the Jewish General Hospital waiting room while my grandmonther had cataract surgery. There was a mental dude there with a huge cranium. His face was normal size, but the top of his head was massive. He was wearing a red hockey helmet. I let him listen to Doowhatchalike on my walkman. True story.

    peace

    "Humpty Dance" was a HUGE record in Philly, and when I say huge I mean you couldn't walk 2 blocks in my neighborhood without hearing that bassline "vrooom-VROOOOM-vrooom-VROOOOM" blasting out of a car driving by. That shit was everywhere.
    this was one of my first experiences with hip-hop. ...at this summer day camp i went to at the school near my house in Ohio, the teens were playing it on a boombox and doing the hump-up-hand-on-ground dance (was there a name for that?)
    always been a fan of piano solos in hip-hop and Doowhatchalike has a really good one.
    wish i could play keys like Shock G. ...and now i want that poster.
