I remember when the “Straight out of Compton” movie came out, there was one song by Eazy-E that was conspicuously absent.
I’m old enough to remember how huge “Real Muthaphukkin Gs” was when it came out. Can’t really blame Dre though, he had already gotten cooked with “No Vaseline”, no sense in taking more Ls in his *own* movie.

The prompt is Gang“We’re All In The Same Gang” from the album of the same name, 1990
By the late 80’s, gang violence was reaching a peak in and around #LosAngeles. On the east coast, KRS-One had launched the Stop the Violence campaign and put together an all-star roster of #HipHop artists to release the anti-violence track “Self Destruction” in response to violence at #rap concerts; now a group of #LA rappers calling themselves The West Coast Rap All-Stars responded to a societal problem around them in the same spirit. Crafted around a killer (reportedly #JamesBrown) funk riff, “We’re All In The Same Gang” weaves together enough samples to stand as a creation of its own. Corny? Maybe. Sincere? I’d like to think so - but it had an undeniable groove, and what a showcase of all the West Coast rappers this kid had heard of, and a few I hadn’t.
