Blogging The Beautiful Struggle: We're All In The Same Gang

Sorry, just happened to see this while I was digging through Arsenio's clips. This was the West Coast response to Self-Destruction--it's so ironic to think, at that point, Cali and NY were competing to see who could increase the Peace, as we used to say. And man, to see that go to Big v. Pac...

Ah well, I can remember cats coming to school the next day bragging about how Humpty ripped it on that "the underground's down for peace among brothers" (how is it that him and Shock G are on stage together). But all I remember watching this clip was that the dark-skin chick in Oaktown 357 was a stunner. We'll get Juicy Got You Crazy in here at some point. No pubescent boy should have seen that video. But for now...

Also ironic that some folks on this and Self-Destruction were both rhyming violence AND rhyming to increase the peace. If I took KRS at his words he was a criminally minded vegetarian teacher. Luckily, I was smart enough as a kid to know neither he nor NWA were actually bucking people down. Just like I knew all those extras getting bucked by the Terminator would live to get bucked in another movie.
