"Same Song" is a song by American rap group Digital Underground—featuring future music legend Tupac Shakur in his recording debut—from the soundtrack for the movie, Nothing But Trouble.
What were the two songs from Digital Underground that were featured in the 1991 movie Nothing But Trouble?
This Is an EP Release is the RIAA Gold certified second Digital Underground release, from which two songs, "Tie the Knot" and "Same Song" were featured in the film Nothing But Trouble starring Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, and John Candy.
Nothing but Trouble was panned by critics. Chris Hicks, writing for the Deseret News wrote, "though Aykroyd seems to be having the time of his life as the judge, Chase, Candy, and Moore appear much less animated than usual [and] downright embarrassed in some scenes".
Dan, still a close friend of Jim's (they sing in the Blues Brothers Band together) recently introduced him to the man himself; soon, a working relationship took root.
While Aykroyd was a close friend and partner with fellow cast member John Belushi and shared some of the same sensibilities, Aykroyd was more reserved and less self-destructive.
Digital Underground was credited in helping launch the career of future hip hop superstar Tupac “2 Pac” Shakur, who at one time was a member of the group. The group was formed in 1987 in Oakland, California.
Along with Digital Underground, his supporting acts on the tour included Queen Latifah, who had just scored her debut hit single, “Ladies First”; rapper MC Lyte; and 3rd Bass. Eric B. & Rakim and De La Soul would also join the lineup in cities along the way, as would an up-and-coming artist named Jay-Z.
What happened to the singer of Digital Underground?
Digital Underground frontman Shock G died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, methamphetamine and alcohol, according to the initial case summary from the medical examiner in Florida's Hillsborough County. According to the report obtained by Billboard, Shock G was last seen alive at a hotel in Tampa, Florida.
What did Dan Aykroyd say about John Belushi's death?
Aykroyd now shares what he felt upon hearing that Belushi was dead. “I was concerned with getting to [Belushi's wife] Judy before the media, and so I kind of just ran from the office over to her place. I had a little bit of the Richard Pryor syndrome — you know you just keep moving, moving, moving,” shares Aykroyd.
He later regretted turning down the role of Louis Tully in Ghostbusters (1984) so much that when Ghostbusters co-writer and co-star as well as close friend Dan Aykroyd offered him two roles in his directorial debut a similar comedy-horror themed film Nothing But Trouble (1991) he immediately accepted because he felt ...
In 1982, he died from combined drug intoxication at the age of 33, after a drug dealer, Cathy Smith, injected him with a mixture of heroin and cocaine (known as a speedball) at the Chateau Marmont. He was posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004.
He's a dear friend.” Apparently Belushi agrees. In a Q&A posted on the Board's website, he says, “What's great about this show is that it reunites me with Larry Joe Campbell. He's the best partner I've ever had in my career.
Digital Underground was a collective of freaks and weirdos working outside of hip-hop's norms, more Parliament-Funkadelic than Public Enemy. Humpty Hump was a character Shock G played by donning a fake nose and glasses, and rapping in a nasally voice.
