48 year old white guy from Oakland here. I was 17 when this came out shortly after the East Coast "Self Destruction" collaboration came out. I loved both. I was a huge NWA fan and of course seeing Hammer and Digital Underground on here as a Bay Area kid made me connect. I knew the message wasn't for me, but I felt it's weight and respected more than just any track by these artists. We need some of this today. It's about personal accountability and responsibility.
you know MC Hammer recorded his verse after asking why his hit on 3rd Bass hadn't been carried out yet? Talk about a lack of personal accountability and responsibly lmao
That's just it, they don't want Peace, they want anarchy and hatred to be the fuel for their own discontent so they can play the blame game and continue the ways of the past.
in this crazy world , this song would be called a racist song because the dear to speak truth ! if they only would blame white people in this song it would be called revolutionary ! same shit but worse today and you're totally right ! why is nobody doing this right now ! it dont fits the blame game narrative
@Steven Darkins Right, I go to Chicago often. Get Twista, Crucial Conflict, Common, Da Brat and some other OGs in the game and get with the newer artists Chief Keef and others to do a peace treaty song.
East had they own thing and West had they own thing. Still crazy to me. Both sides of the coast going through the same thing just different styles, beats, slang, etc.
The difference is all the Self Destruction artists lived their peaceable words -to this day. Unlike most of the west coast artist herein. To them this was an antic for optics. Like Dr. Dre years later with 'Bitches "Ain't Shit-type themes.
I'm a 48 year-old white male who grew up in this John ra of music and still to this day cuz that music is sure in the hell better than this music.. and as a teenager in this city is Chicago in the early 90s mid-90s it didn't matter what color you were white brown black purple orange yellow green did Chicago Police had orders is there a commander no teenager was safe.

Yes, Hammer did. People don't know that Hammer started off as a hard underground rapper, playing his music on KPOO and selling mixed tapes (way before he became Hammer-Time). He just changed the game and gave a new versatile perspective that reached across all color lines and borders.
Chosen One im 43 years old, i remember when this came out, i was thinking these rhymes were dope, then DU's part came up, and that beat drop...damn! Speechless. still one of the best verses in hip hop

I mean most artists back then had a similar delivery as well. Every era has a format. The main difference now is not much is regionally distinguishable anymore. Still a dope idea fasho, we need that unity now more than ever
@@jeronjones7959 not gonna argue with u over that i get what are u trying to say, but back then "Biting" in any form or way were the worst crime any rap artist could do. Shark N****s, remember that?
@@rezagorgin5707 Facts can't be debated ain't make my comment for dat. As much of a cardinal sin as it might've been it was happening. Wouldn't have had Nas, Pun etc if it wasn't for G rap. Everybody borrows something, it's considered culture for a reason. Love n respect tho
@@jeronjones7959 I agree. That's Inspiration and that's how things eventually evolve. U can't help but to get similar to the people u admire so much. that much is surely accepted. Peace !
I was about 12 when came out in 90. I was a white kid who was obsessed with hip hop. the creativity and consciousness of the rappers at this time was incredible. This song showed the immense talents and unity of West coast artists. 5:07 I had this taped on VHS and would watch it daily. Just about every artist kills their verse-even Hammer & Young Mc. On the low, Above the Law was one of my fav groups. It’s sad I had to learn so much of Americas events from hip hop instead of the news or history books during this time but I also feel fortunate as well. Hip hop during this era to me is the greatest musical form ever invented period-ever.
Digital Underground come in with one of the best opening rhymes for its time. "America-the red, the white, the bluein. The blue and red for Bloods and Crips, the white for whos got you doin time for busting caps on one another??.." DOPE!
Real shit. S*** was so cold back in the days that is still relevant 24 years later... I remember buying this on cassette back in the day. Anyone else miss Eazy E?
Yeah Ole Eric Wright A.KA. Eazy - E if he was here in the music studio rapping he'd probably make more record sales that some of the rappers that suck today......

Tone loc one of the most underrated mc's of all time, he had it all delivery, word play and punchlines, and young mc too very underrated, they came from the delicious vinyl camp.
@Hersey Berry why even pit the two songs against each other? They were both dope with great messages. I was in high school when they both came out and I loved both, especially this one because it exposed me to a bunch of west coast artists I wouldn't have listened to otherwise like Above the Law, Def Jef, and King Tee.
I'm a white boy and I am of the generation that was grew up on heavy metal and rap, even before Walk this Way, Run DMC's early stuff was full of guitar rock riffs, which I believe were done by Kerry King and Tom Arya of Slayer, they also did the guitars on the seminal Beastie Boys You gotta fight for your right to party and No Sleep Till Brooklyn, those songs just reinforced my love of hip hop, I was in 6th grade we Kurtis Blow, If I ruled the World, then LL Cool j, Fat Boys, Run DMC dropped Walk this way and it was over, the early hip.hop was fun. But still gave messages Slick Rick Children's Story , Teenage 💘, my school was 45/4o white/black / Laotian and Latino(we had large Laotian population) everybody got along we all played football together, it was middle-class all the way my dad owned a Barstow, next door was shoe repair and apolstry and my Dad was 6'6 300 lbs former boxer/ LB and opened barbershop, whole team got haircut for free, the shoe shop/ hooked up the old Nike Shark football shoes to be I'm school colors with players number on it. The owner if shoe shop was African American and his son was my best friend and our QB and we practically lived at each other's houses. It was in fairly big Midwestern city, I think now days the media and wants us to racially divided. It was better in the 80s and 90s! Still best friends with my lifelong friend too!
Love how Eazy never waves his hands much and flexes and etc. He always looks like a king in the crowd, leading and ruling shit). He defenitely had much respect And still has. LEGEND
@@olearyeugene I would say more of a realest, while every is saying quit cold turkey and come together, E knows what's up. Gonna take more than a song to bring generations of bangin to an end.
I just found this at Goodwill for $1 .. brought back memories !!! can't believe someone donated this vinyl... gezzzz.. this is the We are the World of rap songs !
I am 46 and still listening to this......these were our times.....our messages that still have a valuable message for the youth of today. My favorite....geez...Imma' have to go with Mr. Jason Velez below my message...Shock-G killed it.

This is what modern rappers need to do for Chicago.
@Steven Darkins Right, I go to Chicago often. Get Twista, Crucial Conflict, Common, Da Brat and some other OGs in the game and get with the newer artists Chief Keef and others to do a peace treaty song.

Tone loc one of the most underrated mc's of all time, he had it all delivery, word play and punchlines, and young mc too very underrated, they came from the delicious vinyl camp.
I fortunately met Tone Loc here in Clearwater Beach, FL at Sheperd's after his show. Nice guy to sit and talk with.
SO TRUE. HIS VERSE WAS DOPE!
THE MESSAGE IN THIS SONG REMAINS THE SAME IN TODAY'S WORLD
Yup
Shock G killed it 🔥🔥 I used to watch this on the box as a kid in the Bay Area
RIP Shock G...❤❤❤
RIP Shock G...also one time I ran the phone bill up to 300🤑 ordering videos from the box...got a good ass whooping and started watching MTV 🤣🤣🤣
@@crisrockzz6892 Lmao same here, I also ran up the bill for Crucial Conflict Hay
The VIDEO JUKEBOX back then👍🏾
Let’s argue: humpty, easy e and hammer had the best verses. Young Mc was slept on. Humpty aka shock g has the best verse. R.I.P 3:17.
Shock G, Hammer, Tone Loc and Young M.C.
No argument there. The flows, cadences and rhymes were on point.
Humpty said it best. "Are you working for the clan"! Deep!
Back when rap means something
Digital Underground 🔥🔥🔥
RIP Shock G....❤❤
This shit is dope. It should have won the Grammy
It should've gone platinum. Top ten.
Self-destruction had a stronger message but this song still goes.@Hersey Berry
@Hersey Berry why even pit the two songs against each other? They were both dope with great messages. I was in high school when they both came out and I loved both, especially this one because it exposed me to a bunch of west coast artists I wouldn't have listened to otherwise like Above the Law, Def Jef, and King Tee.
You mean a black entertainment grammy????
They try 2 act like living in the ghettos cool and fun like a vacation..lol
I'm a white boy and I am of the generation that was grew up on heavy metal and rap, even before Walk this Way, Run DMC's early stuff was full of guitar rock riffs, which I believe were done by Kerry King and Tom Arya of Slayer, they also did the guitars on the seminal Beastie Boys You gotta fight for your right to party and No Sleep Till Brooklyn, those songs just reinforced my love of hip hop, I was in 6th grade we Kurtis Blow, If I ruled the World, then LL Cool j, Fat Boys, Run DMC dropped Walk this way and it was over, the early hip.hop was fun. But still gave messages Slick Rick Children's Story , Teenage 💘, my school was 45/4o white/black / Laotian and Latino(we had large Laotian population) everybody got along we all played football together, it was middle-class all the way my dad owned a Barstow, next door was shoe repair and apolstry and my Dad was 6'6 300 lbs former boxer/ LB and opened barbershop, whole team got haircut for free, the shoe shop/ hooked up the old Nike Shark football shoes to be I'm school colors with players number on it. The owner if shoe shop was African American and his son was my best friend and our QB and we practically lived at each other's houses. It was in fairly big Midwestern city, I think now days the media and wants us to racially divided. It was better in the 80s and 90s! Still best friends with my lifelong friend too!
Ice T's verse is the tightest " we got a suicidal lifestyle"
Born in 1982 and I'm still bumping this ✊🏾🖤✊🏾
Me too and born in 1989 ✨💕
Hell yeah love this jam bumping in 2022 💯🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶
Me too bro
Born in 95 bumping this 🙏🏽💪🏽🎧
Born in 84, I'm jamming to this.
Love how Eazy never waves his hands much and flexes and etc. He always looks like a king in the crowd, leading and ruling shit). He defenitely had much respect
And still has. LEGEND
I respect the West like they love the South . some of us have the same dam problems no matter what hood ya from
Yeah and they shitted on him in that movie
3:25 Most Massive Part on the Planet. Humpty nailed it
Destroyed it... the song could have finished after Shock Gs part... mad hard
RIP Shock G...❤❤❤
@@truthhurtz8517 can’t believe it! His end was really weird. He had a terrible Insta Account, something called PianoMan...RIBeatz
West coast lyricism and consciousness at its finest. I miss hip hop. 🥲
Ice - T tho! The real OG of gangster rap.
No
Mc schooly d
Schooly started it. Ice-T took it to another level.
his old stuff is funny shit.. deff og!
It would be dope if Schoolly D was on this track.
"My baby ain't never hurt nobody, but he still got smoked at Bae Bae's party" Eazy E
senseless murders still going on n 2020, Rest easy Pop Smoke
Best line in the rap
@@rodrickbradley4707 smoke got popped for a reason
Classic!
Mc Ren is way underrated
shock g too.
Criminally underrated
REN WAS THE DOPEST AND MOST LOYAL
yeh Ren is a quality rapper
@@bluv812 so true!
When the beat dropped on Humpty verse 🔥🔥🔥🔥
4:28 MY BABY AIN'T NEVER HURT NOBODY! BUT HE STILL GOT SMOKED AT BABY PARTY---- Eazy E
My guy,I was looking for this comment...🤭🙆🏾♂️
His verse was more on the opposite end of the song to me but still dope.
Thinks it's "Bebe" party
"Bebe's" party. ala "Bebe's Kids" from Robin Harris, earlier that year (1990). Geez, I see someone was born after Generation X.😒
@@olearyeugene I would say more of a realest, while every is saying quit cold turkey and come together, E knows what's up. Gonna take more than a song to bring generations of bangin to an end.
I just found this at Goodwill for $1 .. brought back memories !!! can't believe someone donated this vinyl... gezzzz.. this is the We are the World of rap songs !
Retro Chaser shit happens
One of the most deepest and hardests rap songs ever made.
We need to keep pushing this message today.
Echoes throughout every ghetto
Exactly
Higher ups wouldn’t let it slide
I am 46 and still listening to this......these were our times.....our messages that still have a valuable message for the youth of today. My favorite....geez...Imma' have to go with Mr. Jason Velez below my message...Shock-G killed it.
Yo when the beat changes when humpty start rapping!!!!! Favorite part
Ton Loc was epic. That voice when the track breaks.
Shock G, Young MC, Ice T, Hammer, and Eazy E tore that song up.🔥🔥
The unedited version does better justice to Young MC and Ice T’s verses since they got edited in the video version
@@Boygonebad RIP Shock G....❤❤❤
And Michele’ singing the hook!
@@truthhurtz8517 RIP
This song is still relevant
💯🙌
I'm 28 and I agree with everything Shock G saying
Shock smoked it... still hard in 2020
Crazy positivity. I love all of the artist but especially love Easy-E
RIP SHOCK G aka HUMPTY HUMP who killed it along with Digital Underground when he switched the beat at 3:14.
2019. First time hearing this.
Won’t be the last time either.
Eazy E, MC Hammer, Shock G/ Humpy, King T, Dre and Ren, etc. On the same song. True classic track.
Ice T had the coldest yet smoothest line 💯
Young M.C. and Humpty Really And Truly Had The Hardest Messages!! But The Whole Family Was The Truth!! 💯💯💯 We Need This Today!
RIP Shock G...❤❤❤
Still Hard in 2020!
Even harder in 2021 (RIP Shock G)
2022
The message of this video gives me chills. POWERFUL!!!!!
Only ones missing in this video from the West in that era were Too Short, Sir Mix a Lot and of course Ice Cube.
And Pac. Digital Underground WAS on here, were they not?
Pac wasn't with Digital Underground yet when this came out.
+Kwaku 忍者 (DAT NINJA) He was a background dancer for them around that time.
What about DJ Quick! Wish he was on this classic!
Lew Alcindor they should of put crip and bloods in here too
3:16 was the dopest verse
RIP Shock G/Humpty Hump rapping as two different personas on the same verse. GOAT status.
Exactly! I had just posted this😂. I love when Shock G goes back and forth with his "alter ego". Like you said, that alone was GOAT status LOL.
Thank you for making me realize this! So good I watched it 3 times...and counting!
Digital Underground🖒👍
Klara Göppinger fuck DU
The Red,white and blue and
When that beat drop🔥
It was all about truth, bars and verses. A mid 2000s introduced to hip hop and I fell for 90s and back.
If today's rappers will make a song like this you wouldn't understand not a word of it I promise you
This beat was sick as fuck back then. Shock G and Shock G as Humpty killed it.
They're sure did they're verse is the one I remember most
Shock G has to be the most underrated MC and hiphop musician ever.
