He was a psychedelic rap pioneer who was one of the first — and best — at translating George Clinton’s P-Funk across genres and generations. He was a high-concept ringleader of a canonical hip-hop band indelibly remembered for a song cycle about NASA-created “sex packets” that somehow helped cement hip-hop’s status as a genre with immense crossover power. He was an eccentric visionary who collaborated with Dr. Dre and Prince, and helped discover 2 Pac and produced tracks that would make him a star. And with his amorous Humpty creation, he ensured that Burger King bathrooms would never be seen the same way.

Paying our respects to the man, Shock G this week. Then more hip hop and funk.
