Few groups have kept the Parliament-Funkadelic legacy alive in hip-hop more than Digital Underground. Their greasy-spoon beats are saturated in P-Funk-style rhythms, and they aspire to a P-Funk tradition that celebrates life, blackness, and a prophetic vision for a utopian future. Only their second album in five years (after releasing three from 1990 to 1993), Who Got the Gravy? brings on everything from deliciously nasty dance jams like "Wind Me Up" to a bugged-out duel between Humpty Hump and the legendary Biz Markie on "The Odd Couple." Big Pun and KRS-One also pop in to cameo, but the album's best guest is Oakland's up-and-coming MC Mystik; she helps turn "April Showers" into a seductive but groovy love song supreme. --Oliver Wang
Review
These Bay Area groove freaks, more commonly called Digital Underground, are making like it's 1988 all over again with their new album Who Got the Gravy? On party pumpers like ''Wind Me Up,'' leader Shock-G (a.k.a. Humpty Hump) relentlessly works the chasm between slamming Cali hip-hop and George Clinton-style jammy jams. Meanwhile, cameos from KRS-One, Biz Markie, and Big Punisher display an East Coast-West Coast unity that's more block party than political summit. While some beats creak, the end result makes for 1998's most joyous rap album. --EW.com

Digital Underground have once again made an album that, despite it's goofy appearance, continues to elevate hip hop. This album doesn't have the same sound that the other D.U. albums have, but instead the break new ground. On the track holla holiday, the freaks of the industry flow about one of their favorite passtimes. On the sidesplitting "man's girl" humpty takes on the personality of peanut hakeem anafu washington "frostbite slim". there are other classics here, like the odd couple, featuring biz markee and humpty snapping at each other. another top notch track is wind me up, guranteed to get the party started. get the gravy, you won't be upset.

It's been a while since I've checked out a Digital joint and nostalgia played a factor in my picking this one up. It's a decent effort, highlighted by party anthem "Holla Holiday" and the smooth, ambient stylings of "Man's Girl", but don't expect anything on par with "Sex Packets" and "Sons of the P"

Awesome album once again from DU, definitely legendz of the game. It's not about money, gangsterizm, but about having fun and funking it up! If you're a DU fan then you gotta buy this album.

i dont have many complaints on this album except it seemed noticably short for an effort that was over 2 years in the making....on the other side that means there aren't any fast forward tracks on here but i would've wanted more music for all the time they took off....none the less it is another solid offering from the tripped out underground

The rap conglomeration which spawned Humpty Hump, 2Pac, baby dope, et.al., is still laying the infectious dance tracks and unique vocal stylings. The "shake-your-rump" show stopper "Wind Me Up" features Humpty at his best as he truly gets the party started. "A Man's Girl" is reminiscent of "Freaks of the Industry" with the vocal tag-teaming of Shock and Money B. The Digital Underground proves that they are spiciest heirs to the P-funk dynasty with "Who's Got the Gravy?"

If you're looking for more gravy, check out Shock G's website ([...] It has *FREE* downloads of various d.u. songs, including "You're Life Is A Cartoon" (b-side to the original "Underwater Rhymes"), plus you can download the full album of "The Lost Files". This album was originally offered on Money B's website, but now you can get it here for free. Also, there is also a new song there. Anyways, thought I'd let you d.u. fans know this!
Now...the album review. I purchased this album, after searching several places for it. After listening once, I was craving more! It's a shame they're no longer on a major label, as they still have it, while most of the "stuff" out there is just here. I'm ready for another helpin' of gravy, boys!
