Digital Underground a band out of the Bay Area known for their funk-a-delic style of music. They created a mass of funky songs. One song we have chosen is one of their greatest, “Doowatchyalike.” This 1989 song was unique in its time, for its cheery sound, and at that time most songs from the west coast were thug- related, “I will Shoot Ya House”, Gangsta Anthems. Consequently the Underground sound was different, having a piano man, violinist, and flutist (instruments not seen much in Hip-Hop). Also the video had a big cast of artists (like Kid &Play, Eazy E, KRS-One, and others. see how many you can spot) having a good time. The video takes place at a party in a hotel. In the hotel you would think it is hectic chaos, surrounded with bodacious, half-dressed women, and random elements like fish flopping around on the dance floor. “Doowatchyalike” is a real party anthem.
