CHOPMASTER J SNUBBED FROM OAKLAND EVENT
Honoring Digital Underground, Shock G
Chopmaster J — co-founder of the pioneering hip-hop group Digital Underground — was told to stay the hell away from an event honoring the group and its late co-founder Shock G … and he certainly isn’t happy about it.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Chopmaster J was ecstatic when he found out the city of Oakland would be honoring the group and Shock G at a city-wide event last weekend. The day included a Digital Underground Day of Proclamation.
Problem is … we’re told a former band manager reached out to CJ and told him he was NOT welcomed at the event. Making matters worse … we’re told the city of Oakland’s Digital Underground Day of Proclamation is only to highlight Shock G, and not CJ.
Digital Underground broke up in 2008 after a fallout between Chopmaster J and Shock G … but we’re told while they didn’t speak for years following the breakup, they still considered each other brothers outside the group. Shock G died in April.
Chopmaster J — along with his son, who goes by SOTU — formed a new group … D.U. Next Generation.
We’re told Chopmaster J is bummed his contributions to the group’s legacy are not even mentioned in the proclamation. The language’s exclusive to Shock G’s contributions … even though August 25, 2021, is slated to be Digital Underground Day in Oakland.
There’s hope things could be rectified. We’re told Chopmaster J reached out to city officials and, so far, the Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf has responded and we’re told the city’s currently discussing a separate proclamation for Digital Underground that mentions Chopmaster J.

Note from Zennie62Media’s Zennie62 YouTube and Oakland News Now Today Blog SF Bay Area: : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
