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.

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.
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
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. In the message in this song lasted for a the hoodlums today are too stupid to listen
Check out L.A Underground Scene..... Good Life/ Project Blowed.... They always was there and they 'll never leave.

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.
@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.
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
THIS SO COLD!!!!!!! Maybe no one will read this But in case you do Can You Put A "Thumbs Up "So Others Can See. I Just started rapping seriously Type in ( Lunden Ivory - Holding On freestyle ) people will ignore this but if you don't can you listen, comment and subscribe Thank you all God Bless
We 40 and over black folks lived through the entire crack epidemic. Outside of slavery that almost destroyed us. We still climbing out from under that nightmare.
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 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

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.

@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.
This is a song that should be re-made BY this GENERATION OF HIP HOP ARTIST... THIS SONG IS A CLASSIC... IT DID BRING THE GANGS TO HALT FOR A MINUTE... Think about it!!! Stop the Violence Young Hip Hop Artist of this Generation... LIVE FOR THE FUTURE... SAD CAUSE EVERYONE OF U WERE YOUNG AND VERY TALENTED AND TO BE GONE AT THE BEGINNING OF UR PEAK HAS LEFT SO MANY OF UR FANS LOST N HEARTBROKEN... NO MATTER THE DIFFERENCE MAY THE LORD GUIDE YOU ALL ON UR NEXT JOURNEY N THANK YOU FOR CREATING THE MUSIC THAT U ALL HAVE SHARED WITH US... MANY BLESSINGS TO ALL UR FAMILIES... (REST IN PARADISE)...

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.
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.
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'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!
But you gotta admit, self destruction was a better video even though the message was the same. Shit I remember when these videos came out. Old skool is real skool 😁
Big ups from Philly, this track was dope back in the day. I loved this, when Humpty step up and said America, the red the white and blue and, I had to jump up!
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.
Interesting fact... Did you guys ever noticed that there is Lord Finesse walking with Ice-T? Ice was always trying to unite all east/west coast hip hop artists no matter what is going on and this is 100% proof of it. Big up for Ice-T for this one👍👌

His verse was the most unique bc half of them had two rappers going back and forth while he's going back and forth with his own alter ego

Yes.. rip 🙏🏾
That Shock/Humpty verse is the rawest of all-time
This and Self Destruction were amazing 🔥

And that HEAL yourself project joint was dope too!!!
I’m not gonna lie... Shock-G’s verse was the tightest... Flipped it back and forth to Humpty... solid
RIP Shock G...❤❤❤
I just played his verse back 10 time3
3:15 I can just listen to Shock-G verse over and over again
THERE WAS NO ALTER EGO HUMPTY WAS SHOCK G'S BROTHER THE WHOLE TIME....IT WAS BROUGHT UP DURING HIS EULOGY...
No dis but he not the only one was good
Record companies hurried up and got this kind of rap outta here🔥🔥
Divide and conquer is the only way they roll
Word. Rap like this could have changed the world. They hurried up to push the other side of the narrative.
Yep can't have us talking about stopping the violence an sticking together
@Buck Rogers gtfoh
@Buck Rogers don't you have a meeting or cross burning to attend
I wish todays rappers had this vision, came together to show unity and representation, and make songs with powerful and positive messages like this.
I agree but it seems today rap promotes being a gangsta
@ THIS POINT, WE NEED A FEW SONGS AND THEN SOME REAL RESULTS, WE GOT REAL
👮OPS💯💯💯
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

RIP SHOCK G aka HUMPTY HUMP who killed it along with Digital Underground when he switched the beat at 3:14.
Digital Underground has one of the best verses.
RIP Shock G...❤❤❤
Humpty said it best. "Are you working for the clan"! Deep!
That beat goes hard & everyone had dope rhyme schemes
Digital Underground 🔥🔥🔥
RIP Shock G....❤❤
Damn, back then rap was amazing. Flow, rhymes and message. Pure Gold
Facts
Yes
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

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!
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
Don’t act like Hammer didn’t do his thang.
Still here for this.
2023 ✊🏾
People say that Mc hammer had all the of Oakland on his side. He didn't play either listen at rappers talk about Mc hammer
@@WinstonCharles-fy9lx hammer was the most feared mc at dat time
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.
@@shararosierose3133 real talk bruh, mad love from ALGERIA 🇩🇿, peace
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...❤❤❤
Easy E’s voice is freaking legendary!!!!
Tone Loc's too ! #legends
Early Hip Hop and Rap became popular becouse came from the heart and straight from the hood. Hip Hop and Rap today is just marketing and cash.
Totally agree
you mean "marketing and trash"
Ed Ratcliff no doubt mate
These "New Millennials" ta'day, Has "POISONED THA' VERY CULTURE" of Hip-Hop.
I mean polo g is pretty fire tho
Back when rap means something
I'm 28 and I agree with everything Shock G saying
Shock smoked it... still hard in 2020
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
Classic...the West Coast version of 'Self Destruction'. But due to video runtime, they had to cut out JJ Fad and Oaktown 3,5,7.
thank god
@M N I have a 12 inch
This is up there with Self Destruction!! But dam ….my boy Shock G & Humpty kills it here!!!! 🫡🎤👊🏼
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.
Eazy E, MC Hammer, Shock G/ Humpy, King T, Dre and Ren, etc. On the same song. True classic track.
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
I would say they r all talented my fave is Easy E, Mc Hammer, Young MC,& Digital Underground 🔥
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!
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 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.
3:14 The Shock G And Humpty Hump verses went so hard when I was a teenager I studied this song until I mastered those parts! 🔥💙
When the beat dropped on Humpty verse 🔥🔥🔥🔥
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
Crazy positivity. I love all of the artist but especially love Easy-E
R.i.P Eazy E
Been listening to you since 10
I'm 44now.:
Love it! ♥️♥️♥️
The East Coast had “Self Destruction” and the West Coast had this video 😊😊😊
1000
But you gotta admit, self destruction was a better video even though the message was the same. Shit I remember when these videos came out. Old skool is real skool 😁
@PremoMeztiso .....I was just watching that video before this one.....10-4-2020@10:43am....Laughing.
Big ups from Philly, this track was dope back in the day. I loved this, when Humpty step up and said America, the red the white and blue and, I had to jump up!
When this dropped, I thought Hammer was the weakest dude in the song.
30 years later, I know Hammer was running that set like a boss.
omg right lmaooo
Серьезно?)
Lool right! ,😂😂.
Wouldn’t say the weakest, but his verse was alright for hammer, but I rank others a lot higher on this track. I like Eazy’s verse the best. Classic!!!
I think most of us feel that way now lol
NWA and the rest of the rappers made this song back in the year 1990 and this song is going hard
Yo when the beat changes when humpty start rapping!!!!! Favorite part
Humpty 🐐 🔥 RIP Shock G
Str8 classic from "The Dayz of Wayback". 👍🏼
MrWicked61671 funny nwa has a song called that
MrWicked61671 final days of officer friendly
Unknown ehi c'è ne sono di italiani eh ;-)
Young MC and Digital Underground verse always hits
Digital Underground🖒👍
Klara Göppinger fuck DU
The Red,white and blue and
When that beat drop🔥
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.
Interesting fact... Did you guys ever noticed that there is Lord Finesse walking with Ice-T?
Ice was always trying to unite all east/west coast hip hop artists no matter what is going on and this is 100% proof of it.
Big up for Ice-T for this one👍👌
♡♡Ton Loc♡♡RIP ♡♡IceT♡♡ Easy E♡♡ RIP rap in peace, 2018 summer fan from seattle♡♡
Loc is alive
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.
