Sex Packets is the debut album from the 1990s rap group Digital Underground and is a concept album about a pharmaceutical substance (produced in the form of a glowing, packaged condom) developed by the government to provide its intended users (Astronauts and the like) with a satisfying sexual experience in situations where the quest for/attainment of such experiences would be counterproductive to the mission at hand.

  • Sex Packets is the debut album from the 1990s rap group Digital Underground and is a concept album about a pharmaceutical substance (produced in the form of a glowing, packaged condom) developed by the government to provide its intended users (Astronauts and the like) with a satisfying sexual experience in situations where the quest for/attainment of such experiences would be counterproductive to the mission at hand. "The Humpty Dance" made it to the #1 spot on more than two charts, and reached #11 on the U.S. pop charts. The album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums in 1998, and was re-issued on February 8, 2005 by Rhino Entertainment. In 2008, the single "The Humpty Dance" was ranked number 29 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop and number 65 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s in 2007. In the video, one can see a young Tupac Shakur in the background.
  • Sex Packets on debyyttialbumi rap-ryhmä Digital Undergroundilta. Albumi julkasitiin vuonna 1990. "The Humpty Dance" oli kahdella singlelistalla sijalla 1 ja U.S. pop charts listalla sijalla 11. The Source lehti valitsi albumin yhdeksi parhaimmista rap-albumeista vuonna 1998. Vuonna 2008 samainen single rankattiin sijalle 30 VH1's 100 parasta hip hop kappaletta -kategoriassa.
  • Sex Packets è il primo album in studio dei Digital Underground, pubblicato il 26 marzo 1990. Il disco prende nome da una droga, creata da un immaginario scienziato pazzo (l'idea fu di Schmoovy Schmoov alias Earl Cook, un membro che lasciò subito il gruppo) che provocava allucinazioni a sfondo sessuale e orgasmi. Gli stessi N.W.A. per pubblicizzare l'album in uscita mandarono una Newsletter a varie cliniche della California parlando di questa "sex-packet", notizia che trovò poi spazio anche su USA Today (nella newsletter dicevano che fu la NASA a sintetizzare segretamente la sostanza per gli astronauti in missione). L'album risultò molto ironico, con molti "samples" dei Parliament/Funkadelic di George Clinton. "Underwater Rimes" fu il primo singolo estratto che inaspettatamente spopolò in Olanda.
