In 1990, rap music took a stand against violence.
In California, for example, a group of rappers, including Ice-T, Young MC, MC Hammer, Oaktown's 3-5-7, NWA, Tone Loc, and Digital Underground, came together to record "We're All in The Same Gang".
This clip comes from The Arsenio Hall Show, and incorporates the open to the video itself, with narration by then-AWA announcer Lee Marshall. The video wall, composed of 36 small television screens, was inspired by the then-World Wrestling Federation's similar wall, which has 16 screens composing its wall.
East coast rap acts, including Boogie Down Productions, produced the Stop The Violence Movement, with the single, "Self Destruction". We'll serve that up another time.
