The beat is better on We're All in the Same Gang. - Jason Toney
Also, so many of the rappers in this video refuse to truly chastise gangs and gang violence in their rhymes for fear of losing their west coast cred that it's nearly shameful. Ice-T's Colors is a much more powerful protest song. - Jason Toney
But MC Lyte, D-Nice, Heavy D, and Chuck D murder their bars on Self Destruction. I still know all the words to MC Lyte's and Heavy D's section. "Therefore we must ignore fightin' and fussin', Heavy's at the door so there'll be no bum rushin'!" - Jason Toney
"In 1941, John G. Martin of Heublein, spirits and food distributor in east coast and Jack Morgan, Owner of the Cock'n Bull bar in Sunset Strip, Hollywood met in a bar in Los Angeles. Together they invented Moscow Mule by mixing Morgan's singer beer with Smirnoff Vodka and lime in order to market the proprietor's struggling Cock'n Bull's ginger-beer franchise.
They ordered specially engraved copper mugs and Martin set off to market it in the bars around the country. He bought one of the first Polaroid cameras and asked barmen to pose with a Moscow Mule copper mug and a bottle of Smirnoff vodka. Then he would leave one copy of the photo at the bar and take a second copy to the bar next door to show them that their competitors were selling their concoction. Between 1947 and 1950, thanks to their invention, Smirnoff vodka case columns more than tripled and nearly doubled in 1951." - Jason Toney
