I absolutely LOVE Youtube for stuff like this...

Your sis here at BlackRadioIsBack.com and the FuseBox Radio Broadcast has the dance version 12" for this (if you can find it, the instrumental is dope as all get out) and while doing some "trying not to work" stuff on the computer, I found this live performance of Black Music legend Joe Bataan performing this Hip-Hop record live on the overseas music TV show Popcorn.

The label he was on at the time, Salsoul Records, is mostly known for their straight Disco & Dance Music throwdowns such as Loleatta Holloway's "Love Sensation", First Choice's "Let No Man Put Asunder" and plenty of other dope joints.

This joint is kind of hot because it shows that Disco Rap/Disco Hip-Hop vibe that lasted for a minute that most folks only know of from the Sugar Hill Gang's "Rappers Delight".

Plus, having known Joe Baatan mostly for his funk and jazz music vibe, this was a pretty cool deviation from his musical background (or completion, since Hip-Hop evolved from all other forms of Black Music).

Watch the video, give the song a listen, cop the download and enjoy!

Good Morning to our BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast collective!

Just wanted to share the latest song from the Stop the Violence Movement called "Self Destruction 2009" featuring Hip-Hop MCs KRS-One, Twista, Crucial Johnson, Phil G, Kenny Bogus, Pugs Atomz & Straw and singer Syleena Johnson.

All of the artists and producers involved in this project (mostly from the Chicago area) all volunteered their time to get the message out with the coming of the New Year for all of our people to get control of their enviornments and to stop what's essentially becoming a cycle of violence throughout the inner cities and beyond with the youth.

Lots of thanks to our Chicago family of producer Grant Parks and CoalMine Music for hitting us up with this to share to the masses.

Here is some of the history of the Stop The Violence Movement from their website:

In 1987, Afrika Bambaataa called a historic meeting at the Latin Quarter night club where he urged the Hip Hop community to become more politically and socially active. Personally influenced by the meeting, KRS-ONE went to work releasing a 12" single entitled “Stop The Violence.”

The popularity of this song gave rise to a swelling community of conscious Hip Hop. Then in 1989, KRS-ONE, along with Ann Carli (VP of A&R at Jive records) and author/musicologist Nelson George, developed an all-star project that would become a legendary Hip Hop peace anthem, “Self-Destruction”.

As KRS-ONE said, “We got ourselves together so that you could unite and fight for what’s right.” The recording boldly denounced Black-on-Black violence with quotes like this one from Kool Moe Dee “I never ever ran from the Ku Klux Klan and I shouldn’t have to run from a black man.” The proceeds from “Self-Destruction” were given to the Urban League for community programs and made it cool to ‘Stop The Violence.’

In response to the increased violence and confusion of today, Hip Hop activist/philosopher, KRS-ONE has revitalized the ‘Stop The Violence’ movement. He is calling upon the global Hip Hop community to take responsibility for the way in which conflict is resolved.

Check out and download the new Self Destruction track as well as a recent interview with KRS-One about the Stop The Violence movement below.

Folks over here also dug up the original music videos representing both the East Coast and West Coast Hip-Hop era songs that came about during the early period of the Stop The Violence movement, which have some classic collaborations and production going on.

Listen, watch, enlighten and enjoy!
