I love Digital Underground and you should too. I don't understand why they aren't more
popular. If anyone is the musical progeny of George Clinton, it is Shock G. The beats on Sex Packets are thicker, funkier and far more complex than almost anything else that came out then. Since then, the Underground has continued to innovate, musically going against the grain amid constantly shifting (and quickly outdated) hip hop trends.
So: for your enjoyment, here is a selection of instrumental tracks spanning the two decades of their existence from my (excessive) collection of DU 12 inches.

No Humpty Dance?! No Packet Man? In putting this compilation together, I was trying to highlight some of their more obscure / hella difficult to find instrumentals in addition to some of the more popular classics. Some day, I suppose I'll put together a part two.
As you may have noticed, it's been forever since I've updated this thing. I've got a lot going on, but I'll try to be more consistent. Some folks have requested that I re-up some of the old links that are now dead (one cat even suggested he'd even pay me $20 if I did so). I'll get to it as soon as I can. And if you're serious about the money, I'll add a paypal donation button.
