New about hip-hop artists doing something positive? About time! KRS-One has always been an icon in hip-hop. It's great to hear that he continues to be a positive force. Or you could end up like T.I. who is now facing Mike Vick Syndrome...see what I mean here as they talk about how he just got dropped from his next movie....

I'm all for postivity and growth and such, myself. We have to try something in all this madness going on yet, at the same time, such a confusing mixed message is being sent when u have rappers who use violence and ridiculously negative lyrics on the campaign. Are they gunna stop talking about yang they either do or don't actually do in their lyrics? Don't think so and those continuously fed negative lyrics are the things that will continue stick in the subconscious minds of people who can't see better ways of life.
The climate is much hotter now as opposed to a time when the Stop the Violence first came out. See how much of an affect it had then? Things have taken a turn for the worst with "hip hop artists" taking on increased lyrical violence feeding the anger inside many who listen to it yet these artists refuse to take responsibility for those lyrics, giving even more credence to the things they talk in the minds of the susceptable.
Back in the day, there were hip hop artists who loved to speak on uplifting our race and being responsible in their lyrics. Not many today. Sad but I digress. What do I know, eh? lol.

i think its a great start. you think a drug addict just jump off drugs in one day? dont u know there is like a 12-step program in detox? you have to start somewhere. calling it waste of time is like saying, "i dont care" or "i'm not gonna do my part." thats the corny mentality i cant deal with. its not a waste of time when Black and brown ppl are being killed in droves across the WORLD. some is violence, some is disease and other enviromental. people are so apathetic its pathetic.

You know whats f@#'d up about this whole shit? is if I smack yo ass for fuckn wit me thats defendn myself, but if I smack yo ass in from of a bunch of people that can say I did it, well thats just plain dumb. Lets not confuse "Stop the violence" for bein passive, because the main kats on this new campaine will light yo ass up in a heart beat. The New Movement should be "Stop Bein A Funckn Knuckle Head" Cause see the true problem is that the majority of the rappers in hip hop have a forum to speak and say sumn to the people that could enrich our whole hip hop experience, but nah these fools get in front of us and have soooo much to prove because their not half what they make themselve out to be. Honestly Your NOT hard because you from the streetz and you been to jail.
Your not gangsta cause you sold crack.
Whats Hard is to elevate mind so that you wont fall victom to societies snares and traps. The new slavery is the criminal justice system, and the propaganda that keeps it alive and well is your wannabe thug ass!!!!!
Dont be fooled ya'll these NIgga's dont wanna stop the violence they wanna get some free publicity to sell their next album!!!! FUCK DAT

UMMM...let's keep it real..I'm all for change..I'm all for stopping violence...I live in Baltimore which is one of the most violent cities in the country per capita.....but...whats this STV Movement going to do that the first one didnt..Self Destruction was a cool song...These PSAs are probably a good idea..but is THIS really what the answer is...especially since half the rappers that do the PSAs will then go into the studio and talk about how they bust their guns...i mean half of them dont..but they still talk that shit...This is like TI being on Hip Hop vs. America and then getting arrested for buying machine guns and silencers....I agree with the motive..but this shit aint the answer

Like Ice-T said, you can't feed steak to a baby.

It took a long time for hip-hop to get this crazy -- its not gonna change overnight.

I'm all about the Stop The Violence Movement and Cassidy is one of my favorite rappers, but didn't Cass beat that murder charge and still blatantly raps about his involvement on wax (gotta love double jeopardy), lol. Also, half of the guys on the bill are (and I hate to say it) affiliated with some sort of illegal activity that involves/promotes violence!?!

Oh and no disrespect to Krsna Parker, I applaud all of his work. That dude sacrifices sales to remain true to the art and not put on any fake personas to be accepted. So not "Stop the violence", "Stop the knuckle headz" Before we as Hip Hoppas can have a real world impact we need to impact our Hoodz.

X
It isn’t merely a letter
It’s a symbol of unknown origins that redefines my character
It marks the spot where my ending made its beginning
It pinpoints the location where my nation should start digging
It’s a pivotal crossing of truth and lies that left us blind
Its stitch covers our eyes immobilizing minds in time
Its slanted script in trio is beyond illicit peepshows
It also represents one of our disregarded heroes
Its men aren’t made of corny names like Wolverine and Gambit
Its men consist of soldiers that resist this country’s standards
Its generation spawned an apathetic sense of thought
It allows a brief escape from reality within a box
It signifies the section after 9 before 11
It can disappear and use its following letter to form a question
Its chromosomes possess the DNA of either sex
Its trail across the chest is used to brand the truth professed
It’s a pill taken that leaves desire awakened
Its put before a title just to show the change we’ve taken
Its skull and bones are known on poisonous labels in the home
Its identical image on flags of vintage pirate ships that roamed
Its meaning fables if turned to a 45 degree angle
It then transforms into a dominant spiritual staple
It’s forged within a sword of mythical and deadly caliber
It symbolizes days that slip away across our calendars
It also means multiplication of a lesser
These are a few examples of a rarely written letter

I hope they record a Self Destruction 2 with all the artists that are currently beefing with each other on the same track. Back then when it originally came out everyone who was hot was on it so hopefully it will be the same this time not just any' ole rapper that chooses to be down with the movement.

Only way anti violence records will work is if they use the proceeds to assist the families of victims - otherwise its just soe old school cats trying to come back & that's no longer a good look.

“Honestly, I felt that Kanye's album related more to women whereas 50's album related more to men, maybe that's why I gravitated more toward 50's album? Maybe I'm just too "old school?" Maybe I'm just a New York nigga at heart? Maybe I'm still stuck on that "gun talk?" Whatever….
But for motivation, hard beats and rhymes, or when I'm driving through the "hood" for me 50 Cents album "Curtis" simply delivered more "bang" for the buck.”

-KRS ONE, allhiphop.com, editorial

"....oh... yeah and stop the violence"

-In Hip Hop?

"...no...no....no...just on the street...as far as music goes talk as much violence as you want, that's all part of Hip Hop

and...and...and...
I am Hip Hop"

PROPS TO THE HIPHOP PHILOSOPHER! SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING. I'D BE WILLING TO TRY ANYTHING ONCE, IF I THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP TO MAKE OTHERS IN MY CULTURE FEEL SOMETHING POSITIVE ABOUT THEMSELVES. KRS ONE IS DOING IT TWICE.
I REMEMBER THE MOVEMENT AND THE VIDEO. THAT IS WHEN I REALLY GOT INTRODUCED TO PUBLIC ENEMY. SO THAT'S KRS ONE.

@FlyBoy718
YOU ASKED WHAT DID IT ACCOMPLISH?
IT WOKE UP MY SOLDIER MENTALITY, AT A YOUNG AGE. YE THOUGH I WALKED THROUGH THE VALLEY [AND ALLEYS] OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH [FACING IT DAILY] I FEARED NO EVIL.[I NEVER FEARED I WOULD STAY IN THOSE ALLEYS].

SEEING MY BIG BROTHERS AND SISTERS, SAYING TO ME, I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, REALLY STUCK IN MY HEAD. THE MAJORITY OF OUR CULTURE IS COPYCAT. DON'T YOU SEE THAT?
IF THERE IS ONLY "HIP" THING TO DO, THAT IS WHAT THE MAJORITY ARE GOING TO DO BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE PREFER TO BE LED, RATHER THEN LEAD.
IF THERE IS MORE POSITIVITY BEING SHOWN, IT WILL CATCH ON. JUST LIKE IT DID THEN.

REACH ONE, TEACH ONE AND AGAIN.

ONE LOVE

There's PLENTY MORE good ARTISTS out there than Cassidy, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, and others! Do something interesting, I mean yea you're right about who people that are well known, but this is why they blame Hip-Hop for everything. They all look at the stars that are on TV and radio to spread the message, but to me it seems limited. Like I said before, there's TOO MANY artists out there, we have to stop limiting ourselves. You think Edgar Allen Floe wouldn't come out with a postitive message for the children? I'm not doubting Lil Wayne or Chingy either, but c'mon if people don't know who they are, INTRODUCE them! It ain't about promoting your new album, it's about Stopping the Violence and getting the message across!!
