The West Coast Rap All-Stars: “We’re All In The Same Gang” (1991)

One of the largest hip-hop / rap collaborations of all time which became its own milestone solely based on the line-up. And how could you not? One-hit wonders, old-school rhymers, life-long veterans, and pioneering gangstas all came together on this Dr. Dre-produced single to deter the youth and younger generation from gang violence. 

Then again,  the solidity of sets, colors, bragging rights, and gun-clacking in hip-hop and rap ensures that will never happen.

Lecture 20: Pop Rap: British-born Young MC (Marvin Young), a rapper raised in the United States, enjoyed stardom in 1989 and 1990 with his huge pop rap hit “Bust a Move” By the summer of 1990, the catchy, humorous rap song could frequently be heard on radios across North America. With its funny and harmless lyrics about the challenges of meeting young women, “Bust a Move” enjoyed big crossover success among African American and white listeners alike, and it became representative of a type of sedate rap song that was acceptable to mainstream listeners.  Incidentally, the talented American musician, songwriter and animal rights activist Moby identified "Bust a Move" as one of his favourite karaoke songs!
