  • I loved it. It gave me goosebumps. The message is still the same 20 years later. Great job you guys.

  • That was great! They did the original proud!

  • good intentions but weak,,,,,come original

  • Born and raised on the Streets of Jersey City, Kennedy Blvd represent. Those streets are no game there, and are still no game. Journal Square can make you nervous as hell at times. I'm a combat Marine, been in two wars, and Jersey City can still make me more nervous than the middle east at times. And the sad thing is I still feel as though no one cares who lives or who dies here. Maybe one day... I'd by this CD and I'd like to buy that Jersey Hat. Long live Kennedy Blvd.....

  • Who are these rappers?

  • Just Love It!

    I must say though that girl @3:16 named Melodee is hella baaaaaad tho aha, fuckin' seXXXy light-skin girl and she a good rapper too, i'd love to have a girlfriend like that haha, beautiful just beautiful hope she has some more songs out aha.

    Now time for a We're All in the Same Gang part 2 Version and if there is as @coreyaustin1 said then email me the video or tell me where can I find it because I wanna hear it, but yeah I love this song I like this one a little better tho!

  • the messed up part about that is my mom was on that bus when she heard the shots her freeze leg froze and when it was time run off she did so she was alright THANK GOD!!!!!!

  • just like the nigga who shot up the Q113 bus and killed two brothas and his stepson on Queens,New York talk about real self destruction damn he's talking he would've shot more people but he ran outta ammo silly ol'chump word up that guy is not a brotha that is a straight up nigga that should rot in prison!!!!!!!!

  • This joint is fire Great job:)

  • Had no idea this was out. I remember the original, this update is just as tight. Glad to see they kept some of the original flavor, why not, the original problems still exist. Nobody goes with the hands anymore at all. Bunch of bitches.

  • i like this. Someone needed to do this.

  • W-O-W!! With so much garbage being made, played, bought and sold it was great to hear a positive message; even as a sequel. A job well done...

  • This is hot. Flat out!

    

  • Nice Try

  • i like it it's cool kept it original

  • where is the westcoast at on remakes of were all i the same gang at?

  • This is what we need more of not just for Hip Hop the music but for us as a people. Violence has no colors age race man or woman. We choice to point not solve. We are a one human race who told you we are different.

    I miss what was Hip Hop in the 80's and 90's now they should just call it the WACK  Peace One Love too ALL My People Around The World

  • Good job JC fam! I like how you did your own thing but stayed true to the original! Props to all involved!

  • we on the westcoast need to make a remix of we are all in the same gang L.A.!

  • YALL KILLED IT THUMBS UP

  • i was born in 78 so i was in the self destruction video era,and before i even clicked on this video i was thinking negatively,like this is gonna be garbage,but i retract my thoughts,this was well put together and i really did enjoy it....j.c stand up 201....coming from the 973 jerzy

  • Look up MOMMABOY on Amazon.com.. JERSEY STAND UP!!!!

  • That was hot!!! Thanks Family!

  • This is awesome guys...I was tryna see how I could organize one in my city...Thanks for the inspiration

  • a great pt 2 to the classic

  • Good job. The original is from my era of hip hop. I'd love to see someone redo the west coast all-stars rap also.

  • peace from brick city drive.com.....this is bangin..

  • dont know why you needed to remake this but its a nice remake i gotta admit

  • Good job on the remake, the actual rappers could have been better, though. ♥

  • pat on the back....excellent job...peace!

  • Sad....., But so REAL!!!

  • LOVE IT!

  • great job shyt the message is there

  • This is great to see people making this. With all the violence recently in Newark we really need another movement like this. Especially there. Brother's killing brothers. Makes no sense.

  • He Say " Beat the Government, The Slave Trade, and the Klu Klux Klan... All Of That To Get Killed By A Black Man"! Now that was the best part of this video! I love this remake!

  • This is a ill re-make...Big up to Jersey City and it's Hip Hop Community...PEace, Love & Blessings...

  • Sweet! Like someone said raps changed but it still flows like the original.

  • this is nice i really don't like a remake but this is good i must give prop's when it's do.

  • good job! well done!!!

  • Re-do. Don't mess with a classic. This is a testament to the systematic destruction of quality rappers in the business.

  • Real shit! Watch the first one, then watch this one.........

  • This sucks- and this is precisely why you suckers are over there in Jersey

  • Love the Stetsasonic "Talkin' All That Jazz" reference with the lyric and "dominoes" backing track around 2:20.

  • The problem is inherent in rap and hip-hop music itself. The "images" presented in such music are aggressive themselves (i.e. doo-rags, baggy clothes - the types of clothing that gang members wear) as are the way the lyrics are sung. No amount of change to the genre will make it in any way whatsoever "acceptable" or "moderate." Blacks and other minorities should move on to alternate types of music that reinforce positive images, but of course we know that will never happen.

  • I remember when the original self-destruction came out back in 1988-89 i was in 5th grade at the time even though the re-make of this was by a of up & coming New Jersey MC's all i got to say is good job 100% PERCENT i take my hat off to you guys that performance itself deserves a standing ovation f*ck we all know this needs to be on BET 106 & Park & MTV Jams,MTV2 whatever this needs to be brodcasted.........

  • props for dirty jersey from the west....ayooooooo

  • ya did a good job nice

  • EXCELLENT JOB...I VE BEEN SAYING THAT RAPPERS NEED TO REMAKE THIS VIDEO FOR YEARS...WISH YALL COULD JUST GET THIS ON BET CUZ EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS

  • @cdunn666 This should be on 106 & Park

  • @cdunn666 YES! I'd rather see this on BET's 106 & Park than some wack hip-pop rapper out now.

  • hey I think it's better than the first one..; Yall did a greatjob relating to today's struggles!!

  • Wow! I am a member of the old school when the original Self Destruction was made. So sad that it is more than twenty years later and this is still an issue. I applaud you guys! This makes me proud because it seems as if this generation of rappers are only concerned with money, cars and sex. Nice to see that there are some talented rappers of today that actually give a damn.

  • OMG can we get the crew up in 2011 to repeat the message in this song..... The youth of today are viciously evil and have no guidance or morals or values and they are STILL killing each other..... Where are their morals and parents???

  • Hi this is a good remake of the old video although i like the old too this is a good influence of todays generation.

  • i got to give props for the guy doing kool moe dees flow

  • I LOVE THIS....JERSEY!!!

  • WOW!!!! This needs national mainstream attention, fa real!! And I like the way y'all integrated new lyrics in with the old ones...I

  • I love how they kept the original spirit (learn what that really means if you dont know), of what it was about.

  • much <3

  • Comment removed

  • JC all day!! JFK Blvd!!!

  • This is nice...I like it!!

  • We need more music like this. Hot shit!

  • Wow I'm amazed,we gotta keep this positive music up

  • @heataz81 Indeed. I'll hit you up with a few recent examples of my work.

  • @cqmickey This song is part of how black people can save ourselves. This is a rally cry, a call to action. I wouldn't want it to change. This remake keeps the classic relevant too. God helps those who help themselves. The universe doesn't work any other way. Peace.

  • This is what's up for real. I've been waiting 20 years for a collection of artists to take up the torch. I was 15 and very inspired by the original song. Now I am 35 and just as inspired by this version... maybe more so. None of these artists are being pimped by the media or a major label. These are artists direct from the community reiterating a wake-up call which sadly fell on mostly deaf ears the first time around. ANY artist on this song can get free graphics from me. Holla!

  • @jaskart Thanks so much for the love. We really take the future of our youth seriously. Thanks for the acknowledgment. And I would love to see some of your graphic work. Peace Crisis aka Doug E. Fresh

  • It's good to see self-awareness as the topic of music and media. Thanks for doing what you guys do. I get so tired of all the negativity that is perpetuated in our music and society today. Keep doing what you're doing. Classic or not, the fact that you're paying homage is good enough.

  • @delledean2020 Thanks

  • @heataz81 nice man..is this your people??? anyway nice to see todays generation is not as stupid as people think they are....glad they aware af stuff...

  • I salute everyone who had something to do with this Project!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Well done and seriously needed.

  • Well done and seriously needed.

  • And @cqgmickey it aint about tryna fix it its about the fact that the message needs/needed 2b heard n they did a good job doin it ova years lata.Im from philly ish rough out here idk how ish is where ur @

  • @sbryant815 Thanks for takin care of that for us. And make sure you check out the documentary part of how and why we part this together. it's in our channel. Thanks again!

  • Luv yall 4doin this!Good ish 4real!!

  • cqgmickey what do u mean by that?

  • IF IT'S NOT BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT

  • @cqgmickey trying to understand ur statement do u mean self destruction one wasnt broken?

  • @cqgmickey This is Crisis, I just read your comment, and wanted to let you know that I reconize your hate. Only a ignorant person would downplay a positive effort. This re-make has been co-signed by the originators. Therefor you opinion means absolutly NOTHING. U are a perfect example of SELF DESTRUCTION!!!

  • @heataz81 Dude, I am entitled to have my opinion, this song is not going to save Black people, only the word of the Most high god....nevertheless I don't like it, all they did is sing the same song changing a few lyrics.....and sometimes its not always a good idea to remake a classic. This is one of those cases...If it makes you feel any better I didn't like the remake of "we are the world" either. Has nothing to do with the content of song, so keep your negative comments to yourself.

  • @cqgmickey sorry you didnt like it, I was gonna say something nasty and mean, but I know better and I know you do to. Check ot our channel and i hope you find something you like. Peace!

  • @heataz81 And I'm glad you didn't say anything nasty baby. That would have turned the ENTIRE message around and made the video pointless. Good Job.

  • @heataz81 Love it, which meant you not only post this WONDERFUL VIDEO but turn the other cheek when negative comments came about. The message you're sending don't talk about be about it and to think positive along the way. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK :-)

  • I SUPPORT THIS WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!!! -1-

  • Yoooooooo, I happen to come upon this joint and love it. I live in downtown JC and grew up with hiphop. Yall really did yall thang here. I hope you all make it and if you send me your info, ill cop what ever albums yall working on. Im always down to support real talent. One love.

  • I actually like this. Does anyone know when this came out?

  • @sdseals2076 2007

  • real rap

  • What's sad is that 20 years later a sequel had to be made and these dumb asses still don't get it

  • Love the message, the original is great too. they should do another one

  • I fucks with this HEAVY! Jersey stand up, I see yall! only 62,000 hits and that little faggot Lil wayne that's got niggas wearing tight ass jeans thinking they bloods, is getting millions of hits, smfh, shit is fucked up!!

  • Definitely the best remake of this Ive ever heard. That includes the Papoose, Sheek Louch, Uncle Murda joint... Good to see Jungle City kids is still doin what they do. Word.

  • this is dope!

  • bigups from asbury park. loving this joint. dirty jersey!

  • Loved the original love this and like you am passing all my 35 years of hip hop on to my son. he almost 4 and is only happy rollin in the car with hip hop pounding throu the subs. Love the early Electro compilations from the 80s

  • love is it .....true story

  • God bless you all for remaking the Original and not making a disgrace of it. You did a very good job, keep this going. Its so important. This is so tight the subtle changes and add ons are hot.

  • Listen to the real Self destruction ! But overall , This Is ight (:

  • seriously?! we're talking about "self destruction" and the first fool is wearing something that promotes self destruction amongst indigenous communities--i'm talking about the objectification of indigenous people as mascots!

  • My mother told me about the original came out in 89. NOw the violence is at all time high. Mom sad the raperws had positive messages in there raps back then. She said Public Enemy was telling what time it was then. It's sad that our generation don't listen to what our eldersw are warning us about. NOw I see what mom's is saying about us self destructing our selves even more. Cause we don't listen.

  • @TSLAKK co-sign!

  • Beautiful video and very much needed!

  • Each 1 Teach 1!! Respect from Essex County E.O.N.J.

  • this my first time hearing this song and i really love it. keep it going. thanks THIS SONG GOES YALL DID THE THANG

  • this my first time hearing this song and i really love it. keep it going. thanks

  • i was in 10th grade when the original came out in '89. now at 38 years old i have to say yall did do the original justice. my only thing is it will be sad if we have to make another remake of this song in 2029. i mean, when will we finally learn?

  • SELF DESTRUCTION 2 is hot we really need that

    R.I.P Screw that was my boy

  • Keep the message alive

  • We need to trace back our African roots.

  • Thanx for taking the time to check it out and even more for taking the time to shout us out! Thanks to u all.

  • @heataz81 This is AWESOME and so true, and AWESOME. Loved the first one in 89, but this is better. I'm from Jersey City, Kennedy Blvd. and I can support everything you speak of. It's beyond CRAZY there. Rap use to be so positive, but that's GONE! Are you telling me it's not better living in Harlem or the Bronx now? Back in the 70's and the 80's, it was a war zone, and you wouldn't even see a cop there EVER!!! I hate this toughness junk. If you're so tough join the Marines....then we'll see..

  • I stand and applaud you all.  I was fresh in high school when the first one was done. It's great to see there are still hip hop/rap artists out there who truly fight for positiveness.

  • the guy at 4:11.... forgive me i dont know his name, BUT that man spoke and hit home. im a single dad and i SLAM those words in to my 10 yr old son everyday! God bless

  • @bluescousa It says BA Baracus on the screen but I can't find a damn thing on youtube other than MR T and some white cover band. Who is that guy?

  • WHY did I have to stumble across this remake by accident?? These artists did the original justice and then some. It's a shame that they didn't get the recognition or airplay some of these other talentless ghetto fool hack "rappers" are getting. Maybe if they had autotuned it, it would have gone viral (sarcasm).

  • NJ in the house, props to jersey city for this one. union city in the house!

  • hip hop big names need to do this to much love for the remake

  • Excellent remake this should be played everywhere forreal. Props to all involved with this project I use to live in jersey city shout out to Kenny Parker

  • I pray for the day we no longer need this message. Until then, much respect to those still out there bringing it, and living it.

  • much love from union city. keep hip hop alive. music today is garbage. we must nevver forget where we came from!!
