During a concert by Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy a young fan was killed in a fight. Coming soon after the shooting death of his friend and fellow BDP member Scott La Rock, KRS-One was galvanized into action and formed the Stop the Violence Movement. Comprised of some of the biggest stars in contemporary East Coast hip hop, the movement released a single, "Self Destruction", in 1989, with all proceeds going to the National Urban League.[ [http://www.discogs.com/release/295642 The Stop The Violence Movement - "Self Destruction"] , discogs.com.] A music video was created, and a VHS cassette entitled "Overcoming Self-Destruction - The Making of the Self-Destruction Video" was also released.]"Self-Destruction" was produced by KRS-One and D-Nice of Boogie Down Productions (Hank Shocklee of the Bomb Squad is credited as an associate producer), and featured:
