Perfect example of how just about anything from this tme period is better than just about anything today. Damn I miss the music of those days!!

Cool. Thanks for lookin' up Def Jef here. We're trying to post everything in the vaults and then upgrade the quality of some of them here.

We need the video version of this song released.

This is when Hip Hop was fun, whether you liked the song or not, the song was always different than the last one you heard before it unlike these glorified copy cats nowadays... Salute!

love this! the dancing was the shit back then!!

These days are long gone. I just feel blessed to have been apart of it! #41

Dee Barnes! Wow.

WOW!! Def Jef! I was prompted to search KZread for Def Jef while watching Hip Hop Harry with my kids. I saw his name pop up in the credits; I've also seen his name appear in the credits to That's So Raven (I think he did the theme song). Loved this video back in the day. Jef had lyrically the best verse on 'We're All In The Same Gang'. "One and the same/everyone came in the same chains/caught with the same aim, brain games, and names changed". Glad to see Delicious representing.

WOW this guy was OFF THE HOOK! Hung with him back in the day with the DUST BROTHERS!!!

Dang I was 17 when this came out. Going into my senior year. Jeff and Sista Dee could very well be me and my girl on this video because we dang near had the same look. I had those checkerboard skids and an oversized black shirt. WOW this is like a time machine. OH and the African medallion of course. I didn't have a convertible mustang but I did push moms Nissan Pulsar with the T-tops off,,,,,,when she let me.

DeliciousVinyl is a very well run record company - excellent taste in artists! :). I bought one of their old school t-shirts that make an appearance in this video and will be wearing it around Las Vegas tomorrow when I am out there blowing off steam.

Jef could probably say more but I think he 'out grew' this song pretty fast. I recall him not really wanting to do it live by the time his first album came out, which it was on. I can not speak for our artists but that is my impression.

wow. utube has it all. I was just thinking about this song.. lol. takes me back to my teenage years.... the biggest thing i remember about this videos is everyone is killin that running man!! priceless memories..

you know this is old old skool. He is on a pay phone. But I'm lovin this video all over again.

Classic HIP HOP KID N PLAY ERA ALL DAY!

The list of songs from the late 80s and early 90s that had one version on the radio/video, and a lesser version on the cassette/cd/album is huge. This is one of them, I wanted THIS version and was disappointed when I got the tape home. Glad I can finally listen to it all these years later...😁

You're absolutely right. Unfortunately when Delicious Vinyl reissued the CD in 2012 with a bonus disc full of bonus tracks and remixes they still didn't put this far superior version on there! 😡

I do not give a **** what generation you are from. The 90's were the MECA of Hip Hop and ya'll ain't got nothin on us. The discovery of what those 10 years gave us will never be matched. Words cannot describe the how phenominal this decade was for music, individuality, realism, idealism, culture, identity and above all else community. Could go on and on. Thank you 90's, was truly the time of my LIFE!!! forrealtho!

Dee Barnes wasn't just the girl who got beat up by Dre, like some here like to identify her. She was 1/2 of the female hip-hop duo Body with Almight T (They were label mates with Def Jef on Delicious Vinyl) , and the host of the classic hip hop show Pump It Up.

I've been looking for this video. This was the jam. Thanks for the upload.

This was my jam in 1988-1989 5th grade year

Nice jam from back in the day! What I like about this video is that the man didn't go for the half-naked girl w/ hair down to her waist - but for the cute, brown-skinned sista w/ the bomb-ass haircut. And you don't see Dee Barnes gyrating all over the place & "making her butt clap" & all the stripper-nastiness that counts as "dance" these days - she and Def Jef are just having nice, "clean" fun dancing at various L.A. spots. Fun video!

I Remember this as a kid lol

i fucking love the second verse. def jef's lyrics crack me up. he can tell a woman "buy you what? you better keep your mouth shut" that shit is genious and he says it in a way that is somehow reasonable. he's basicly talking about prostitution, you give me sex and i'll give you cash or buy you shit. but it some how dosen't sound bad to me. it sounds realy right. god bless def jef.

Old school at it finish

Back when even chubby black dudes could dance and wasn't afraid to because being cool was better than being hard. And sistahs looked sexy even when they were fully dressed. GODDAMN I'm old.

I really wish I could find the video version of this song on a CD or vinyl release. The single and album both lack a few vocals on the chorus. Anyone know if it was ever released?

Ha ha ha !!! is that my peaches @ 0:32. wow those was the days... this is better then 75% of the bs on the radio today in 2008 sooo sad
