Shock G is Out

Shock G's retirement announcement, posted at Thug Life Army:

i'm retiring from all forms of studio work and song writing.

My reasons for retiring are:

1. I get no satisfaction or fullfillment from it anymore. It doesn't make me happy. On the contrary, it depresses me.

Normally I'm not depressed, it's only surrounding the studio. I'm happy when I'm away from the studio.

2. Can't make a living at it. 90% of the studio work I've done in the last 6 years has all been either for free or for peanuts, and hasn't generated any income since.

3. It drives me to do drugs, cause I HATE BEING IN THE STUDIO. To much pressure & expectation for me to make/save/spark someone elses career or project.

4. I quit the studio. Fuck the studio.

5. I can't win in the studio, It's pointless, it's a "catch 22" for me, watch:

If what I do sucks, it tarnishes the legacy, hurts the family, and even lowers the price, and also leaves the artists & involved-companies unhappy;

But if what I do shines, it generates more studio work for the future, and furthur traps me in the music business, a business I have no intention of slaving to the rest of my life. I gave it 20 years. I'm done.

6. Every man has the right to the pursuit of happiness and should first try a job that he might gain happiness & fullfillment from. This doesn't make me happy anymore, it makes me miserable and a drug addict.

7. I'm done widdit. Whew!

YES, it already feels great already just to say it!!!

I most likely will try my hand at some of these:

> writing (Afeni assures me this is my true calling everytime she see's me. Maybe she's right?)

> acting

> stage performing, meaning accepting tours or positions in other bands doing keys & background vocals. (IF it's real and if the moneys good. No amatuer or free stuff anymore.)

> regular jobs in service (like clubs, hotels, TV show bands or staff, resturants, who knows?)

> ..and of course still do digital tours cause it PAYS and people don't expect me & Mon (grown men) to work for free, like all the studio requests. I'm 42 and have wants/needs/bills/responsibilities.

So there it is, spread the word, I quit.

I don't make beats, I don't do vocals, I don't write vocals, NONE OF IT.

Those of you who are friends, will be happy for me. Happy that I shook something that was making me miserable.

Those of you who had plans to "use" or manipulate me at the expense of my own health & happiness, will be upset about this. All I can say to those would be, you're free to do whatever you wish, and so am I.

I choose to QUIT.

there it is.

Thanx everybody, spread the word

Does this mean that Humpty quits also?

Posted by: PEZhead at July 13, 2005 01:09 PM

As sad as that makes me to hear it, I also understand why Shock G is throwing in the towel. Shock has been through a lot in his career: the first DU album was delayed for a year before "Humpty Dance" hit; his collection of old school hip-hop was destroyed in a fire; he mentored Tupac and watched helplessly as 'Pac became an unwitting martyr for the hip-hop movement; and in 2003, DU was supposed to play a show at the Petersen Automotive Musuem (the spot where Biggie got popped), only to have the two-day festival close down shortly before DU was supposed to take the stage.

A friend of mine had the privelege of playing drums with DU on some recent tours, and his words about Shock's morale didn't bode too well. Thus, I am not suprised at his retirement.

All we can do is hope that one day in the future Shock regains a genuine desire to return to the studio, for the right reasons. Like Miles Davis, who quit playing for a spell because he "couldn't hear the music anymore", maybe this is just an interim phase while Shock spends some time having a life outside of music and its demands.

DU were one of my favorite groups, and I always felt they never got their due. They did a lot for rap, a lot more than people know.

Posted by: james at July 13, 2005 05:50 PM

Sounds to me like he needs a breather. If being in the studio is as he says, causing him to do drugs, then no doubt he should come to a place where if he chooses to come back to songwriting then he does so when he can see it as a healthy and enriching process for him and not something that brings him down. And as he says there's always writing. He has a way with words and I'm sure he has plenty of stories to tell.

At a time were hip-hopm music really needs the production skills of Shock G, I am saddened. Two of the greatest producers of our time in my opinion is Shock G and Devante Swing. They have left us with lil john and rkelly how sad.

Posted by: Tanne at July 28, 2005 06:11 AM

"fear of a mixed planet" was underrated as fuck. I'd hate to think that during the recording of that masterpiece that Shock loathed making music.

Keep your head up and know that there are true cats that BOUGHT and were feeling your shit from "sex packets" to "who got the gravy" to your newest solo shit.

All i know is i remembered watching digital music videos and they were cool, and i remeber lesane aka tupac saying that he was a back up dancer for digital and that he was doing back up vocals for them. Well did shock really quit? I remember spice one was supposed to rfetire back in the 90's, Well anyways if tupac was still alive and all those theroyies all i have to say why would he allow eminem and 50 cent be on his album? well, whatever the reason i am alive and doing music to this day is beacause of tupac's music, shock-g was a good friend of tupac back in the day as far as the general public and the interviews, i saw thug angel and shock was descirbing tupac as a friend, as far as shock quitting i can see the reasons why , after 8 years recording my self i can see that in 20 more years i might no twant to do this anymore. one luv peace

Your words will stick with me forever and I thank you for that.

If retiring is what you need to do then you need to do it and I'm proud of you.

Have you seen this before? It's a number guessing game: http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/guessthenumber.html. I guessed 64643, and it got it right! Pretty neat.

His reasons for retirement are:

A) back up a little bit off her
B) hit it a bit softer
C) Humpty hits only a bit softer

The answer is D) he solemnly swore to never bust a style that bunked, but he did. Ouch. What a fag.

2Pac's music is intolerable. Digital Underground is at least tolerable, come on. Biggie and 2Pac are bitches for dying - what a bunch of fags.

Shock,
We met at a P-Funk concert in Battery Park back in '98. You were in the back with this chick Gypsy that I was checkin' out. I didn't know who you were 'til I turned around and you jumped on stage w/ George. We ended up back at your pad (I think near Gramercy?)w/ like 5 or 6 of Gypsy's friends, you, me and my boy Darien. You were jammin' out the Rhoades piano and freestylin, while everybody else was beatin on whatever they could find. Pac's mom called right in the middle of all this chaos. . Then the big box of glasses came out of the closet. We were rollin' 'til like 2 in the afternoon. My boy ended-up pukin' off your balcony! Good times. Well,just wanted to say thanx for the experience, and god bless. Whatever happened to that chick Gypsy? She was hot.
