    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.

  6. The first #rap #GirlGroup vinyl album that I bought in 80s was by #JJFad & this #Supersonic title track made me hit up the record store 🎶🎵 One of the first acts signed to Eazy E's Ruthless Records label.

    *The city of Rialto, CA named a street after the hiphop girl group. Parts of Lurelane off Cactus, were named JJ Fad Way.*
