ICYMI: 21 Savage Speaks Out Against Violence

21 savage violence

21 Savage, not so savage wishes all violence will stop.

Even though the Atlanta rapper carries the name of 21 Savage, he is hoping for a savage-less world. In a tweet, the Slaughter Gang artist sent his up lifting message across his 4.3 million followers

He randomly said, “I wish all this violence would stop it seems like it’s more hate than love in the universe right now!” 

Although we have no clue what caused 21 to express that thought, we do know that the rapper who came up from songs containing violent content is cleaning up his image. 

Over the years in Atlanta, 21 has done a lot to improve the community.  Last year, he launched a nationwide virtual financial literacy program, which also came alongside a hundred $1,000 scholarships for high schoolers across the U.S. 

He also holds an annual ‘Issa Back 2 School Drive’ in Decatur, Georgia and before the pandemic, the drive gave more than 2,300 kids backpacks containing school supplies, uniforms, and sneakers. Free haircuts, health screenings, and other activities were also available to those who attended.

21 also donated $15,000 to the non-profit organization Juma to help them in their efforts to get youths to open up bank accounts and to educate them in financial literacy. 

Despite what the “A Lot” rapper is rapping about, 21’s actions is speaking louder than his lyrics.

Today In Hip Hop History: BDP’s Scott La Rock Shot And Killed In The Bronx 33 Years Ago

scott la rock 1 1

On this date 33 years ago, Scott Sterling aka DJ Scott La Rock of Boogie Down Productions was shot and killed in the South Bronx

In an attempt to break up a fight on 167th and University Avenue near the Highbridge Housing Projects in the South Bronx, Scott Sterling, known to the world as DJ Scott La Rock of the mighty Boogie Down Productions, was shot and killed, he died on the scene.

The shooting was the first of its kind in Hip Hop, with BDP being one of the main artists to usher in the “Golden Era”, it was a shock to the entire Hip Hop community to have KRS-1‘s DJ shot in cold blood. Ironically, this happened during the apex of their classic debut album Criminal Minded, where Scott and Kris were posing with pistols, rifles and no smiles. Sterling’s death fueled KRS to start the Stop The Violence Movement, which was widely publicized with the By All Means Necessary album and the star studded “Self Destruction” single.

RIP to Scott La Rock! He Still Lives Thru His Music!

Old School 76 – “Stop the Violence, Vol.1 (Remastered)”

For “Stop the Violence, Vol.1 (Remastered),” a group of female rappers look to cease domestic violence within the urban community with a positive Hip Hop single. Orchestrated by accomplished recording artist/label executive Drew Woods assembles five of the most exciting new female emcees for a positive rap song against domestic violence.

Originally released in 1991, the remastered potential hit is an incredible wide woken seven minute-plus effort filled with outstanding chemistry among the five females and monumental aggressive wordplay. Featuring an all-star cast of up-and-coming sensations including Aim High, Lil Mecca, Lady Loe, Nuwajah Sankofa, and Miss Saigon the Rapper. The new song set up a promising collaboration project that will transcend leaps and bounds in today’s Hip Hop.

“When you hear this track I want you to analyze the lyrics, hear the message, hang onto every word and feel emotionally connected. This track is meant to pick you up, encourage and inspire you during tough times,” Old School 76’s Drew Woods told Underground Hip Hop Blog.

She continues:

“This is a historical music project because it’s the very first ‘Stop the Violence,’ rap by 5 women who live in different states. The rap Self Destruction had different male and female artists who were from New York. Released in 1991. This track is strictly Rap, there is no R&B/Pop sound. A search using Google, Bing or any other search engine will prove this has never been done. On the internet, you will find. Raps about bullying, and ending domestic violence. This rap project is an original piece. That I created, with various women artist. I hope this piece, is inspiring to all those who listen. To Stop The Violence.”
