The Lords of the Underground (L.O.T.U.G.) are a hip-hop trio based in Newark, New Jersey. MCs Mr. Funke and DoItAll Dupré met DJ Lord Jazz (a native of Cleveland) when all three were undergraduates at Shaw University.
The three are perhaps best remembered for the singles "Funky Child", "Chief Rocka" and "Tic Toc"; all of which were wildly eccentric manifestos. The music video for "Funky Child" features one of the group members parading around in a diaper.
Their chief producer was Marley Marl's protégé, K-Def. Pete Rock remixed their songs "Flow On" and "Check It" in 1994 .
In their initial releases, their first two albums Here Come The Lords (1993) and Keepers of the Funk (1994), earned them an award from Black Entertainment Television in 1993 . They collaborated with George Clinton; their second album's title track, which samples his work, features him in a cameo. The track is generally more abrasive and less conventionally tuneful in its instrumentation than most of their work.
Gangster posturing was rhetorically referenced, but never outright indulged in, by the group, except on their 1995 single "Burn Rubber", which took a cavalier pro-carjacking attitude and featured a line where Mr. Funke unapologetically said he'd "even jeopardize [his] friends" for the sake of a jacking. However, the song was recorded for and prominently featured in the Newark car-jacking film "New Jersey Drive," and can be seen as a reflection of that film's mentality, as well as the popularity of joyriding carjacks in that city in the 1990s, rather than an endorsement of violent crime. Because their dalliance in gangsterism was half-hearted, they were one of a number of groups lost in the shuffle when gangsta rap became dominant.
Their reunion album Resurrection (1999), released via Queen Latifah's Jersey Kidz imprint, was so small-scale a release that few realized it had been recorded. Da Brat made an appearance on it.
The Lords are best remembered in connection with the golden age of hip hop. As such, when Nas decided in 2007 to do a remix of his song "Where Are They Now?", which asked of the fates of several long-forgotten golden age rappers, the Lords were among those requested to appear. DoItAll Dupré performs eight bars on the track. The others featured include Positive K, Father MC, Rob Base, Redhead Kingpin, Monie Love, and members of Black Sheep, Salt-N-Pepa, Three Times Dope, the Jungle Brothers, the Fu-Schnickens and Das EFX.
DoItAll appeared briefly in the final scene of the final episode of The Sopranos credited as Du Kelly, as one of a series of potentially ominous figures entering the diner. He also appeared on other TV shows Law & Order as Two Tone, on OZ the HBO series, & On the Christmas episode of 30 Rock on NBC (2008). He has also been in Independent movies such as SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY with Bai Ling, American Rap Stars, Rhyme & Reason, Durdy Game(Xenom), Cash Rules (Koch) With Treach of Naughty By Nature, & he has also starred in an off broadway play entitled Diss, Diss, & Diss, Dat.
Lords of the Underground also made a featured appearance on Pete Rock's 2008 album "NY's Finest" on the track "The Best Secret".
DJ Lord Jazz currently resides in Paris, France.

Is your parents still cool with them today and did you ever get to meet them in person?
This shit brings tears to my eyes because all the fun I had, the people who are not here now. So much Good times and good @$$ music back then. Onyx, Treach, Tupac,KRS, Rakim,wutang, Tribe Called Quest, DITC, Big L, Jungle Bros, Helter Skelter, Black Moon, so many more.
It was a simpler time back then. Appreciate things so much more.
Can't forget the Wu and MOBB DEEP!
HSBUUUUUUUUU!! So much fun! Virginia State University Alumni. 🧡💙🧡💙
The JBs .... the JBs ... the JBs ... Dope
Video still gives me chills almost 30yrs later. That transition into ‘Hit Me One Time’ is still one of the best ever. I remember mimicking the hand sign Mr Funke did as a pre-teen and thinking I can’t wait to get to college
I remember I almost missed the bus going to school when this part came on.
Everything Ken just said.
@@Chessbox09 I had that same 30 years ago and still till this day
When hip hop was hip hop, we weren't All prankster Lol
When he said "lord jazz hit me one time make it funky" I had a flash back to the track, i'd forgotten about it. 1:52
Then the transition to the actual track kicks in 2:54... Literally started tearing up 🥹
Totally forgot about this video.
You have to love how they mixed the songs together...true hip hop 💯
💯
When it was cool to go to college. I miss this type of hip hop.

HERE COMES THE LORDS!
Man when that beat switch up and them saxophones come in..its all over at that point heaven to my ears. And Lord Jazz what a verse..Amazing!
For real that transition is something else!
One of the funkiest hip hop beats I ever heard in my life...Honest to God. STILL to this day...I'm like ..."Man!" :D
I'm banging this joint now 👍🏾
I feel ya.... :D
Shawn Johnson brings me back to 10th grade ill then still ill now plus im from the south

Yeah, That beat was killer!
I remember when this song came out. Every Jeep was bumpin this.... You can hear that beat from miles away.
I can only imagine I bet !!!.
I was in Long Beach heading to work at 5am when a guy in a Jeep Cherokee speeds past me, bumping the LOTUG track. He must've been drunk as hell, because of the excessive swerving .
1993 and 1994 has to be like the best years of Hip Hop. Outkast, Craig Mack, Ill and Al Scratch, Black Moon, Smiff n Wesson, Tupac, Biggie Too Short Scarface, Ice Cube, Bone Thugs n Harmony, Three Six Mafia, Master P, Nas, Da Brat , 95 South , Common, 69 Boys,Eazy E, Lords of the Underground and so many others from East Coast to west Coast to Down South.
Oh yeah you just named a lot of my favorite hip hop groups.
How in the hell could you leave out Wu-Tang???
@@Rahbinah Yes Wutang was real big in 1993.
Hell yeah
Including Busta Rhymes, Bahamadia, Digable Planets, Fu-Schnickens, Simple E, Heather B. in that.
South Person St, Raleigh NC...good ole days✊🏽

Btw Do it All is running for councilman of Newark NJ
Royal Diva Deja' oooooohhh jam lol
Royal Diva Deja' Classic
Royal Diva Deja' I believe this song was like 1993. That time of 1993 to 1994 was like the best ever in Hip Hop to me. You had Nas, Biggie ,Outkast, Scarface, Bone Thug n Harmony, Too Short, Tribe Called Quest, Eazy E, Ice Cube, ILL & AL Scratch,EPMD, Da Brat, Warren G, 69 Boyz and 95 South from Florida, and so many others. Tupac had his Thug Life group as well. Everybody was putting out music from East Coast, West Coast and the South.
I'm 12 and I know this and chief rocka
I hit the yard in the fall of 93’ This was playing out a dude’s blazer. Southern University! SssssssssU
Back when MC's still had to be original and be a real MC to get in the charts
Who do you think this track was about? Back when MC’s Felt the need to make their names known? do you know what or who this song was written for or about? lmk chief rocka! 😂🙄
True.
This original? I feel Wutang vibes
@@trllagong This was out before WuTang Clan.
@@Sputz3 dang I didn't know thanks for the put on
Everybody who listened to hip-hop in the 90's will agree that we had the best era. Lyrical skills & originality were mandatory requirements. Even producers & DJ's weren't allowed to sound like anybody other than themselves. In hip-hop school, this is a very important part of your history lesson.
Agreed even the producers these days all have that same generic trap metro boomin sound smh no one wants to be innovative these days both rappers and producers.
@@abrahampalmer8761I started high school in 93 and I can say that Timbaland is the only decent modern producer
This video had to be
one of Shaw U’s greatest promotion and marketing tools.
90s Hip Hop the Best🔥🔥
I'm SHAW U..All day class of 99
Mr funky was a lyrical genius
2:39/4:25 when the beat changes to
“lord jazz hit me one time”
🔥🔥🔥🔥
taped this from yo mtv raps around my girlfriends at the time .21 years later im still with her ,now watching it again!!!
TheOldschoolfool me too...
Congratulation
That is one of the best thing I've read on the internet.
@@sickduck9865 I know right somebody made it last forever for real.
💯💯💯
My parents are straight out of 1972, this is the shit they would play around 3 year old me. they still say no other era could compare. I barely remember but I'm grateful
These guy’s are sooooooo underrated.
Did not get the flowers 🌸 they deserved.
One tough ass beat. Still gives me chills...
for real tho!
Thanks Eric Sermon
Yea when this beat come on I can knock out about 5 niggas adrenaline rushhhhhhhhh!
This video gives me goosebumps and brings me tears because it was such a funky song and I miss the whole 1990's hip hop music. Today's music has no soul, no creativity, no message, no culture and has no sense. Every now and then I find a good rapper but today's rap music is dead. It's like hip hop was a ripe fruit in the 1990's and now it is spoiled and rotten. It's no good. I try to tell my 34 year old homeboy how music today lacks soul. I am 47 years old. I wish the younger generation would take time to listen to the old music and stop listening to stupidity rap music of today.
Lmao rap isn't dead....you just gotta look for it....
Moe Lester word
Russell Adams I'm 36 but had this "tape" so your boy not that much younger than me just means he didn't know music growing up. Yo Mtv raps, The Box, Rap City were all staples to listen to new music!
Russell Adams I'm 45 myself and I couldn't have said it any better .
I'm 13 and I love old hip hop, screw new rap stuff
*I remember there being many positive images of Black college life on TV during the late 80's-early 90's that made me want to go to college as a little kid. Of course 'The Cosby Show' and 'A Different World' will always be two of the first things that comes to mind for most but I also remember a few music videos such as TLC's 'Baby, Baby, Baby,' Shai's 'Baby I'm Yours' and this one that portrayed the Black college experience. I always wondered what it would have been like to be a Black college student at an HBCU during the late 80's, early 90's. It seemed like it was a good time!*
Kuji Chagulia fr i go to NC A&T SU but man in this generation it’s a bunch of clowns, i swear. This video looked hype and Shaw is right up the road. I have yet to hear a rapper or rap group give us props to A&T. Biggie did for Howard these cats did for Shaw.
@@llclassifiedll8179 They went to Shaw.. And graduated..
Inlovewithhiphop yeah i know
Back then NJ definitely had a movement
Big facts #EssexCountyStandUp 🔥🔥😤
Lord jazz hit me one time (make it funky).
When Lord Jazz drops that beat. Like damn 🔥🔥🔥
Yesss all hell broke loose
I swear❤
This joint still rocks! big up Jersey!
Right and they did a track with redman too.
When rappers and rap groups had lyrical skills and unique flows!!
No Skinny Jeans,Sick Beat & Rhymes!! Take Me Back 2 90's
Beat still hits HARD. Just awesome and timeless production.
Love how they're college educated and busting mad rhymes.
NOW THIS IS REAL HIP-HOP!!!!
This whole album was and still is great!
A masterpiece, a hip hop classic.
30 years old And Still 🔥🔥🔥
Lord jazz murdered it! Salute
A Timeless Classic 🔥💯🔥
This was dope! I had the cassette single and played it to death! This is Hip Hop in its purest form!
Most underrated group of the 90s
One of the best (beat) tracks ever in hip hop..
Funky and Doitall rode the hell out of that groove ‼️💯
BRICK CITY, NU JERUSALEM 🤜🏾🤛🏾💪🏾🙏🏾
My uncle in DC used to send us hours of BET programming on VHS tapes while we were in Germany. I used to run these tapes back so many times, I remembered all the commercials verbatim. This video always stood out when Rap City came on. RIP Uncle Rodney
R.I.P to your uncle Rodney!
The beauty and the curse of this is that this type of hip hop will never be made again. Completely classic and beautiful, original and creative. Shame this isnt look at as reference for the new school.
Can y’all believe Mr Doitall is now the councilman of my ward in Newark, NJ. He actually does a very good job, really cares about the city as a whole. Jersey stand up…. Peace to the Lords ☮️👍🏾✊🏾💪🏾🤙🏾

Lords of the underground was the shit and still dope!
Lord's of the Underground Forever 💯🔥🎤🎧🔥🎤💯🙏🙏
Love how the beat completely changes midway through the track, such an epic transition. Arrrrgh I miss the 90's so much and how people had fun with their beats, they were constantly experimenting. Those were the days.
First heard these in Liverpool England in the early 90s when they were supporting cypress hill at the royal court. Were just as good as the main act. Became a big part of my early music life. Pure hip hop.
Still hot to this day!
Mr Funke was flowing his ass off
I remember rushing home from school to watch rap city and to see this video
This beat 🔥 as hell!!!
Who’s watching this awesome goosebumps classic still in 2019
i applied to shaw university based upon this video. lmao got in too

This song and Wasteland Warriors by Bone Thugs had me doing 100 mph... in a minivan. Lol
That snare is crazy !
Nothing but good hip hop.
The 41 ppl who dislike this paint there nails and stand in the mirror while lil yatchy on in the background
Clinton Gray lol 😂
Yup so true lol
LMAO
Clinton Gray word up my G
agreed
Dope for 2016 classic never play out.
The way how lord jazz mixed in "hit me one time make it funky" and the scratch at the end is a madness. Born in 91 so I was 1 when this dropped but still know the vibe/essence when you hear/feel it.
I was born in 84 and I love it.
This is an "adrenaline" pumping track. I LOVE IT!
I was there at Shaw U (1993) when they did this video. That was a beautiful year/my freshman year and meeting LOTUG....my Ppls to this day. Big Up Alpha Phi Alpha/Beta Rho Chapter & Altariq /G\....RIP King Alim (my mentor).
I must be a old soul because I love older hip hop like this. I was born in '95 so it seems funny that I love this type of hip hop.
We need ya now, LOTUG! How dope this record is... 🔥🔥🔥
What a decade the ‘90s was too grow throughout your teens,as a die hard Hip Hop Head.It truly was a blessing!
That transition to Lord Hit Me One Time was amazing
The Lords of the Underground Forever 💯💯🎤🔥🔥🔥🎵🎵🎵🎶🙌🙌🙌👐🎤💯🔥
Here comes the Lords.... In 2020 still bumping this track
Marly Mal should always be brought up when they say greatest producers
The way they switched up the beat mid song was some of the most innovative shit I heard in the summer of 93. I’m so glad I came up in this era. ❤
Thank, they were in the future already
Lord jazz they really not believing that you come from CLEVELAND!!🔥🔥
Everything they used to make this beat is keeping my brain glued to it. Especially those horns, and whatever that feint voice is saying. Frick, I love this!
I love early 90s rap!!!
Anybody that grew up in this era knows that LOTUG is one of the all-time greats!!! I just wish they would've released more joints.
Back in The day in Cleveland Ohio Dj LordJazz Inspired me to keep on pushin with my music...we are still connected and good friends til this very day. 🙏❤🎶
Andre McDonald / Dre'Rock
Margurite McDonald Music
Damn even the DJ had some mic skills
Lord jazz raps better than 99% of rappers now days
93 I just graduated and started college my god what a time to be alive 🔥🔥🔥🔥
fucking love this album
Still one of my favorite songs ever. Still jamming to this in 2023❤
Real HIPHOP= higher infinite power healing our people
This album was so underrated. I remember when it first dropped I went to Harlem music hut and bought it on vinyl
West side of Chicago loved this one back then
Back when every artist had their own style.
absolute quality! old skool legacy
I'm in tears!
This STILL BANGS SO HARD!!! And watching this again after many years definitely confirms the story that B.I.G was inspired by Mr Funke voice. Just listen to his verse on this and then go listen to BIG’s Gimme the loot!!!
