If 2012 rappers were to re-create the Stop The Violence Movement which ones would you include, or has lyricism and community awareness died with Hip Hop ? If you aren't up on your Hip Hop, The Stop the Violence Movement was formed by rapper KRS-One. During a Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy concert, a young fan was killed in a fight.
