"Brothers... killing other brothers" is one of the most well known lines in the song. Doesn't he also say the "what's it all about if there's a future that shoots ya?" line in the long version? "We're All in the Same Gang" is no "Self Destruction," but it was a good song in its own right. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

No. Better video, but not better song. I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

His style was fun, clever and quick...he was a good rhymer. Wrote good songs for others, too. | |

Granted, East Coast always had better lyrics & rhyme skills. But the West Coast always had better music & beats: The Funk!  [Edited 7/14/06 7:11am] | |

Most of his post-Stone Cold Rhymin' output is pretty lackluster. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I wouldn't even say the video is better (although I guess it's pretty close). "Self Destruction" is a much better song. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I used to think that "All in the Same Gang" was better musically and lyrically.
But not anymore. First off,...lyrically,...there aint nuthin on anywhere on Same Gang that even matches the impact of Moe Dee's verse on Self-Destruction alone. Second,...Humpty bites Heavy D's proving right/proving wrong line. Third...Same Gang dont even have a chorus!! Fourth,..Dr. Dre who produced Same Gang and some of the rappers who were on it,..built their careers on glamorizing and selling the "gangsta" image. That song was straight phony. Self-Destruction on the other hand was true consciousness....and it even had a chorus!  | |

Dr.Dre produced both albums for JJ Fad. And they were push as a west coast miami bass girl group, not gangsta!! | |

I love this song, it was like on the best songs at the time, because it had all my favourite rappers then (NWA, YoungMC, MCHammmer, Digital Underground and Chuck D) all rapppin on it, and it was positive yo, I LOVES POSITIVE RAP.  17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |
