1 | Shock G's ethnicity is made up of eight different backgrounds, with each of his great-grandparents being of a different origin. His maternal grandmother is half-Pakistani and half-East Indian (Hindu); his maternal grandfather is half-Jewish and half-Puerto Rican; his paternal grandfather is of half-African American (specifically assumed to be Haitian) and half-Trini (Trinidadian) descent; while his paternal grandmother is of half African American (specifically West African) and half-Irish descent.[2] In one of Shock G's posts on his own website, he states that he is actually 1/8 Guyanese, as opposed to the 1/8th solely West African heritage claimed in the above source, which, if true, adds still more variety to his bloodline as Guyanese people are made up of six main ethnic groups: Amerindians, Africans, Indians, Europeans, Portuguese, and Chinese and Afghan, Pashtuns. |
2 | Plays piano and keyboards. |
3 | Humpty Hump is a fictional character played primarily by Gregory E. Jacobs (aka Shock-G). However, the character has also been played by three others, Michael Webster, Kent Racker, and Greg's ex-wife's boyfriend. |
4 | Is also an accomplished pianist, visual artist, and music producer, responsible for D.U.'s "The Humpty Dance", Tupac Shakur's breakthrough single "I Get Around", and co-producer of 2Pac's debut album 2Pacalypse Now. |
