Kool Moe Dee had the best line to this day! "I never ever ran from the ku Klux Klan so I shouldn't have to run from a black man!" This song came out when I was in high school and I thought things were going to change. Sadly it got worse
The significance of Doug E. Fresh's verse/camera shot is that he stood in between Marley Marl and Kool DJ Red Alert whose crews were beefing before this song came out. Red Alert was with BDP (KRS-One's crew) and Marley Marl was with the Juice Crew (Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie and others) and they were beefing about which New York borough originated and/or represents Hip Hop between the Bronx and Queens
Great reaction!!This song was organized by Krs-1 of B.D.P. (Boogie Down Productions). He rapped first. MC Delite from Stetsasonic. The ku klux klan line was by Kool Moe Dee of the Treacherous Three, MC Lyte, a cameo by Big Daddy Kane, Wise & Daddy-O from Stetsasonic, D-Nice from B.D.P., Ms. Melodie from B.D.P. also Krs-1’s wife, Dougie Fresh, Just Ice, Heavy D, Frukwan of Stetsasonic, Chuck D & Flava Flav of Public Enemy. ✌🏾
It brings tears to my eyes when i c what hip hop was about vs the mental poison its become! I love to c young people like u receiving the positive message in the music that i grew up listening to. ❤
Kool Moe Dee dropped the memorable line in this. Try his song How You Like Me Now. He battled LL Cool J back then. Highly intelligent rapper with a sense of humor. He did the original Wild Wild West song and was in the movie Beat Street.
Being from queens NY I was 22 years in 1989 those times were the best rappers and unity , I met alot of them too since I still live in queens . Now I’m 56 years and music is not worth it and no creative . Miss those days ❤❤❤❤❤❤
KRS One D-Nice, and Ms. Melodie (the woman at the table)of Boogie Down Productions; Daddy-O, Wise, Delight, and Frukwan of Stetsasonic; Chuck D and Flavor Flav of Public Enemy; Doug E. Fresh of Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew; Heavy D of Heavy D & The Boyz; and Just-Ice, MC Lyte, and Kool Moe Dee. Great reaction🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for doing this song. It should never get old. You should also react to the video for the song "Rise and Shine" by Kool Moe Dee ft. KRS-1 and Chuck D, and also check out the video for the song "We're All in the Same Gang" by the West Coast Rap Allstars, which was equivalent to the east coast Self Destruction.
My favorite collab of all time..."Back in the 60's our brothers and sisters were hanged how could you gang bang?!! I never ever ran from the Ku Klux Klan and I shouldn't have to run from a black man!".....In my opinion one of the most important songs in hiphop history....from beginning to end everybody said what they had to say on it and made it count....MC Lytes verse...smh...The generation today can't make this music because they're lost...great reaction...We thank you for absorbing and understanding this as a young lady...
Rappers in order: KRS-1, MC Delite, Kool Moe Dee, MC Lyte, Daddy-O & Wise (Stetsaonic w/MC Delite), D-Nice, Ms Melodie (KRS' wife at the time), Doug E Fresh, Just Ice, Heavy D, -not sure what his name is- & PE
In this order name & crew: Krs-One BDP, Mc Delight - Stetsasonic, Kool Moe Dee, Mc Lyte and Dj K-Rock, Daddy O and Wise - Stetsasonic, D-Nice BDP, Miss Melody - BDP (Krs-One'S Wife at the time of her she passing. RIP.), Doug E Fresh - The Get Fresh Crew, Just-Ice BDP affiliate, Heavy D - Heavy D and The Boys (RIP), Frukwan - Stetsasonic, Chuck D and Flavor Flav along with Terminator X - Public Enemy. Appearances in the video, but did not rap: Orange Juice Jones, Young Mc, Big Daddy Kane, Tone Loc, DJ Red Alert, and DJ Marley Marl. There is a couple of DJs in this video that I did not mention because I can't remember their names.
In case no one responded to what you asked about the lady in black, who you said you heard, "She was a rapper also, I just forgot who she was." Well sweetheart, her name was "Ms. Melody," who was married to Kris or you may know him as KRS-ONE, from "BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS.
Other songs like this...WEST COAST RAP ALL-STARS - WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME GANG, H.E.A.L. - HEAL YOURSELF, PROFESSOR X - CLOSE THE CRACKHOUSE, KOOL G. RAP (feat. BIG DADDY KANE & BIZ MARKIE) - ERASE RACISM, ARTIST AGAINST APARTHEID - SUN CITY, VARIOUS ARTISTS - FREEDOM (from the PANTHER soundtrack...both the rap and r&b versions...two different videos with different lineups).
The West Coast has a STOP THE VIOLENCE RECORD called " All In The Same Gang. BOTH are POSITIVE FOR OUR PEOPLE, BOTH ARE STILL RELEVANT for what's going on in our hoods. Also PLEASE LISTEN to Paris" Days of Old " Excellent depiction to what's going on with our world TODAY
"Im Ms Melodie and im a born again rebel" ⏸️ Yo, i know her. Whats her name? 💀🤣🤣🤣No, offense, but I see that way too often in reactions from younger folks. A rapper will introduce themselves in their verse, and the reactor will ask us their name 🥴🥴🥴. With that being said, enjoyin your reactions, as usual. I wish we had more songs like this. ✌🏾be well
This is the type of Hip Hop that the industry wanted to disappear! Gangster rap got more play on the radio....imagine hearing more conscious rap that uplifted ....
If they try this today it would be a bunch of crap reason the i record company want let happened and it's already self destruction today in hip hop to far gone what it meant to us in the 80s it today hip-hop to far gone it will never come back to it form
It's sad how 30 whole years later, there's still too much going on. And now rappers would rather encourage violence than discourage it. "H.EA.L." got a similar cast and vibe th-cam.com/video/89QCzvwdHDE/w-d-xo.html
R.I.P MRS MELODY 2012💜🕊
RIP Scott LaRock!!!
Ms. Melodie is the 2nd lady’s name, RIP 2 her

That’s one of the coldest lines in rap history!!🔥🔥
After the line I was done lol
Class of 1988 stand up!!🎉
That's my era....and them lyrics are still powerful TODAY!!
Graduated in 1988 ..i wore african medallions back then and songs like this one made me so proud to be black!
I was 16 when this came out. I miss this era

For those who don't know Frukwan was also a founding member of The Gravediggaz.
Next she needs to react to We're All In The Same Gang but not the music video she needs to react to the full version
I remember we used to have to watch Yo MTV raps to see new videos I’m so OG I remember the exact day it aired World 🌎 Premiere it was so classic
It brings tears to my eyes when i c what hip hop was about vs the mental poison its become! I love to c young people like u receiving the positive message in the music that i grew up listening to. ❤
That Kool Moe Dee line about running from a black man is one of the hardest bars in the history of rap music.
RIP Heavy D❤ Love you
All of them killed it but Kool Moe Dee had the MOST powerful verse and Heavy D went crazy on that sample
It's Heartbreaking to know this song is still relevant. Let's always strive to do better! ❤️✊🏿

Definitely never understood the gang banging at all. Makes no sense to me
Kool Mo Dee, Mc Lyte,Puplic enemy some of the artists in self destructive.
Awesome reaction!.. My generation, I haven't heard this in years!..tfs
This was all over the world at the time n not only in us ..this was some dope shit back then
That's what hip hop was all about...no cuss words...music to dance to ...and messages to the next generation
This song was beyond powerful back in the day
They don't wanna play stuff like this. If this song got radio play, it would make a huge difference in our community
Kool Moe Dee wasn't playing!
One of the greatest rap songs ever made
I saw this when I was a kid. It was the very first rap video I seen and I was hooked immediately.
The lady rapping at the table was Ms Melody

🧡🧡❤️🔥❤️🔥
LL Cool J wrote MC Lyte verse facts
THE BIG GIRLS NAME WAS MS MELODY-SHE WAS MARRIED TO KRS ONE AT THE TIME
no rewards and no respect was given to this movement. look at the outcome today
U should react to HEAL by krs1.

Heavy D and the boys - don’t curse

after hearing this you have to check out ''We're All in the Same Gang" by the West Coast Rap Allstars''
It's a shame the violence is worse than ever
They been cussing even before this song came out. It's just not a lot used language like that in their music like NWA & Schooly D, among others.
It's sad how 30 whole years later, there's still too much going on. And now rappers would rather encourage violence than discourage it.
"H.EA.L." got a similar cast and vibe th-cam.com/video/89QCzvwdHDE/w-d-xo.html
And ignorance. The more the better. Sad.
Kool moe dee had the hardest verse.
