The West Coast Rap All-Stars

Remember when a group of rappers made up of  Tone-Loc, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, Eazy-E, MC Hammer, Ice-T, Above the Law, Digital Underground, JJ Fad, Young MC, King-Tee and more banded together and ended the war between the Bloods and Crips?

Well, maybe not, but I guess they tried with the song "We're All in the Same Gang".  Anyway, the beat was produced by Dr. Dre and it's a fun song to see all these faces together - I love the beat switch when Humpty Hump jumps on.  I actually have the album with this on it somewhere - I don't remember it being very good but this song isn't bad.  It also sparked off a few other posse cuts similar to this throughout the 90s like "Where Ya At" from the One Million Strong album.
