KRS-One, Others Record New Anti-Violence Track

Tuesday, February 19, 2008
By: Kenny Rodriguez


KRS-OneIt’s been almost 20 years since KRS-One recorded “Self-Destruction” with some of hip-hop’s biggest names, but the Bronx rapper is working on re-launching the effort with today’s artists.

Earlier this month, over 50 rappers arrived in Los Angeles to record audio and video for an upcoming “Stop The Violence” project – including the Game, Chamillionaire, Nelly, David Banner, Planet Asia, and Rakaa Iriscience of Dilated Peoples.

KRS has confirmed that there will be future contributions by hip-hop heavyweights 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, Cassidy, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Talib Kweli.

The project will consist of songs and video clips to promote peace and dispel the negative stereotypes associated with hip-hop music.

Stop The Violence, the phrase and movement, was first introduced by KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions with their 1989 song, “Self-Destruction.”

The track was recorded following the murder of BDP member Scott La Rock, and featured an all-star cast including Kool Moe Dee, Heavy D, Doug E. Fresh, Public Enemy, Stetsasonic, and several others.

Its kind of funny to hear fifty and game and snoop talking about stop the violence. But its a good for hip hop to show thats not what their all about.

Krs recruited a bunch of hypocrits for the song they all will go back to their cappin,choppin,poppin selves. I guess he's trying to get some big names to change their ways but it won't last long cause violence sells
Posted by captian slapa ho
Wasn't there "gang bangers" and "thugs" on the dre. We all in the same gang song? but regardless this song ain't meant for rappers, its meant for the regular dumb asses who listen and try to emulate their favorite rappers in real life. So by getting a game or a 50 or a snoop to say "hey idiot we are just rapping, we ain't real killers" is exactly what's needed. Hip hop has helped curb violence before, sh*t we were apart of stopping aparthied in south africa, so any positive sh*t is a good look for hip hop.
