As KRS-One prepares for his Stop the Violence Fundraising Concert on August 26th, the Blastmaster has revealed a surprising lack of support among Hip-Hop’s “conscious†emcees. This past February, KRS-One received vocal contributions from over 50 rappers for the 2008 version of “Self Destruction,†the seminal 1989 all-star posse cut. The modern version has confirmed verses from The Game, 50 Cent, Fat Joe, Styles P, Cassidy, MC Lyte, Ne-Yo, David Banner, and one-time nemesis Nelly. KRS noted a lack of responsiveness from many “conscious†rappers he reached out to. “I’m not gonna call no names but I called everybody to come out, conscious rappers included,†KRS informed AllHipHop.com. “You know what the conscious community said? Oh KRS again, stop the violence, he needs to just retire.†The Stop the Violence Fundraising Concert at Madison Square Garden is scheduled to feature all 50 plus artists that have contributed to the 2008 remake.
