"By All Means Necessary" is the second album from hip hop group Boogie Down Productions, released May 10, 1988, on Jive Records. After the murder of DJ/Producer Scott La Rock in 1987, MC KRS-One moved away from the violence that dominated their debut "Criminal Minded" and began to write socially conscious songs, while using the moniker "The Teacher".
