The story of the Stop the Violence movement as told by Hip-Hop recording artists and music industry colleagues, along with behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the video Stop the Violence Movement: Self Destruction (1989).

After a young fan was killed at a 1987 Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy show, KRS-One formed the Stop The Violence Movement in hopes of encouraging the Hip Hop community to end violence being committed among themselves. Further inspired by the recent death of fellow BDP founding member Scott La Rock, he assembled many contemporary East Coast Hip Hop rap artists to record a track about anti-violence. With production assistance by bandmate D-Nice and Hank Shocklee of the Bomb Squad, the product of the session was the chart-topping track ‘Self Destruction’. All proceeds went to the National Urban League. The track debuted at number 1 on the first week of Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs existence and held the spot for five consecutive weeks.

The following artists contributed the vocals to the track:
Boogie Down Productions / KRS-One / D-Nice / Ms. Melodie / Stetsasonic / Delite / Daddy-O / Wise / Frukwan / Kool Moe Dee / Lyte / Doug E Fresh / Just-Ice / Heavy D / Public Enemy / Chuck D / Flavor Flav
