Last week in Los Angeles, KRS-One continued to lay the groundwork for the relaunch of his Stop the Violence Movement. Over a three day period from February 7-9, The Game, Chamillionaire, Nelly, David Banner and 55 other artists joined Kris at the Los Angeles Recording School to record new audio and video for the initiative. A number of artists from the LA underground also turned out to show support, including Rakaa Iriscience of Dilated Peoples, and Planet Asia. The legendary MC has also confirmed future contributions from artists such as 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, Cassidy, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Lil Mama, Talib Kweli and MC Lyte. Duane Darock Ramos is producing the project, which will be distributed to promote peace and non-violent means of conflict resolution. An official teaser version will be released on Monday February 18. KRS and his Boogie Down Productions crew organized the first incarnation of the Movement back in 1989, bringing together artists such as Chuck D, MC Lyte, Kool Moe Dee and D-Nice for the song and video “Self Destruction,” in response to the rise in black on black violence. Since announcing the re-launch of the movement last year, KRS has met with a number of music industry players, including BET Executive VP Steven Hill, and Koch Records General Manager Alan Grunblatt, to discuss the negative images often promoted in connection with Hip-Hop culture.

I applaude anyone doin positive shit.I remember Boogie downs’ first two albums and I was a fan immediatley.However,as the years went by,Krs let some shit out of his mouth about hip hop not being in the south.I’m still offended by that,so hurt in fact,I’m not goin to get delusional thinkin I’m gonna diss that man who in a way is the embodiement of rap in many ways.I’m just not gonna support the dude,I’ll be wastin my time dissin him for sayin that.

Self-Destruction 2008 : Know the Ledge says:
[...] XXL Mag reports that KRS-1 is retroing the Stop The Violence Movement. Last week hip-hop artists got together in LA (coincidentally around the Grammys) to record the track. Confirmed to record (not necessarily be on the track are: The Game, Chamillionaire, Nelly, David Banner, Rakaa Iriscience, Planet Asia, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, Cassidy, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Lil Mama, Talib Kweli and MC Lyte. A snippet is planned to drop next week. I just came to the realization that some of the KTL readers may not know what we are talking about.

This is definitely good news, and KRS One is my pick (along with Nas) for the G.O.A.T., but why does the guest list XXL shows have so many wannabe thugs and drug dealers who probably masturbate to Scarface every day on it? Just a question. Hope some better rappers are on it as well.

I think it is amazing that all these niggas are on this but 99 percent of them talk about guns and killin’ muthafuckas on their albums. Not saying that I don’t like the niggas, its just a little questionable. And “Trey Stone” you are right, Lil Wayne will talk about everything but, stopping violence!!

stop the violence? fuck that big nose fake ass KRS. How ironic that he would lead a charge against the very act he gave life too. KRS-1 was the first rapper to physically attach another rapper on stage, some of you young cats might be too old to remember but ole blastmaster pulled a bobby brown on the fat kid from PM Dawn back in the day over a lyric from one of their songs. SO to KRS, you big horse shoe crab nose bitch. Instead of stop the violence how about apologize to PM Dawn first, THEN get back with me when you ready to move forward.

krs picked the worst-people for this project, wtf? i recall when the “westcoast all-stars” did a peace-rap in 89?, which was very-good, but “dre, mc ren, & eazy-e” were wrong for that video/song(since they celebrated violence).
