Hip Hop Classic5
I have been a digital underground fan since Sex Packets came out almost 15 years ago. I have all their albums, including Lost Files.

That said, this is not only DU's best album *by far*, it's also one of the great hiphop albums of all time.

Rather than relying heavily on samples, most of Future Rhythm is strictly DU's creation. Shock G's keyboard work can be found throughout the album, most especially on the instrumentals "Hokis Pokis" and "Midnite Snack." His electric synthesizer has a futuristic, jazz fusion sound. He really hits some seriously funky, slurring notes.

"Gluteus-Maximus" and "Hella Bump" are funky jams. "Stylin" has some of Shock's most soulful rapping and lyrics: "Like Billie Holiday I got a thang for them dope notes, singin makin words swing slangin soul like Po Folks -- I'm stayin away from all the overworked notes, Im missin em like prostitutes in heels & fur coats..." "Food Fight" is a collaboration between Del and Humpty. "Rumpty Rump" is a hysterical skit featuring Money-B telling Shock over the answer machine they need to get a girl in the band with a big fake plastic booty and call her Rumpty Rump. "Want it All" is their most transcendent & joyous song ever. They got the yes-saying spirit, they want to experience everything life has to offer.

If you want some current DU, check out Cypher 7's "Has Not Been Diluted" EP, which has Shock G production, and Murs' song "Risky Business" which has a Humpty cameo. And check out Shock-G.com for Shock's crazy cartoons...

So this is what it feels like to smoke crack5
This is not a hip hop. This is music. It can't even be labeled and put in box. Pure extacy. I've never used drugs but listening to this album is probably the closest I'll ever know what it feels like to smoke crack.

Future Rhythm (Sex Packets Part 2)...5
For anyone who likes songs with strange meaning in them, I reccomend any of D.U's albums! I also reccomend albums from...OutKast & GoodieMob. they have the same type of oddness that makes them such catchy groups! God Bless America!

Peace & Humptyness 4 eva!
Dave...a.k.a. another freak of the industry!
