I was a kid when that song was released. I didn’t know any of this. To be honest, at that time, at least for me, I wasn’t wondering why LL, Kane, and Rakim weren’t on the song. I just liked it for Moe Dee, Public Enemy, Heavy D, and KRS 1’s parts. At any rate, today the song is a classi and a very important part of the Golden Age of Hip Hop.
@@aholmes74ahPeace To The Gods! Absolutely 💯…look at the Yo MTV Raps finale when RAKIM went first and then Krs went second….RA was technically and lyrically better…more rationale with his word play…and his flow was seamless…he floated over the track…Go watch they ryhmed back to back on that Finale..
The issue with Rakim, KRS1 & Kane is that during that time those 3 more than any others were consider 1,2,& 3 as Lyricist, and they all most likely measured themselves against each other, just like the fans of each of them did with the other 2. Even though I have KRS1 in my top 2 with Rakim, I've always kind of looked at him sideways for not having Rakim on that record
Just for the Record !!! Kane wasn’t on self destruction because cold chilling records was up under Warner brothers records and Benny Madina the head of A&R at Warner Brothers wouldn’t let Kane be on the song.KRS -One talked about this on an interview on MTV back in 1989 when the video for the song dropped !!!
I’d also like to know why Run DMC weren’t on it as well as Slick Rick, Biz Markie and Kool G Rap (I can somewhat guess why Shan and Shante weren’t on there but from what I understand there were no issues between KRS and KGR and Shante or even Graig G and Ace, I might be wrong).

Look up DADDY-O’s last Hot 97 interview. He explained it perfectly. When we found out years later that LL wrote MC LYTE’s verse…which is one of the best standout verses, it just added more to his credibility.
I'd say it was he didn't want to be. No disrespect to Dee but if LL had wanted to be on that song but his condition was Dee couldn't be on it. They would have taken him off.
"You're making too much sense" smh imagine telling MC Lyte her lyrics make too much sense. That's blasphemy. I'd love to hear what she wrote originally
OMG... If LL was on that record, he would have crushed it. But look at how we withhold our greatness for an image??? An image that is self-destructing.
Rakim not being on Self-Destruction is like Jordan, Lebron, Kobe or Magic not being on a Dream Team! Rakim had every right to feel a way about it..this is the man who modernized Hip-Hop.
@@edubb1luv100 How is it an excuse. RUSSELL tried to block all of the later emcees he managed. That’s why JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE wasnt on the song either. Notice RUN DMC wasnt on it either and JMJ was pissed. Reason why on HEAL..DMC and JMJ are featured.
I think the reason why Ra, LL & Kane were NOT given the opportunity to be a part of this ICONIC Record was, IMO, because there MC flow & career persona was not in tune with the “Stop The Violence” concept.
But I will also say , LL was hanging out with Alpo and Rakim was running with the Brooklyn supreme team.They were a loose gang of drug dealers.Those other rappers knew of this fact and probably didn't want them on it as it would look highly hypocritical.
LL started losing respect in the streets at that time,the fans felt that he was was more into bragging,he didn’t represent the Black Community that was on that positive vibe
If you really knew bout KRS, and the BX, youd be asking why didn't he and Kool Keith from ultra mag ever make a record? They both rep the BX and they both was hot and they both worked with Sed G so why did they never do a joint?
With all due respect.. Kool Keith or ultra in general was not popular enough to be on that record. Real heads knew but the record was trying to reach more than just hiphop heads. BDP was big, PE, Stetsasonic, Heavy D, Lyte, Kool MO D were all at another level. Just Ice was probably the the closest to the level ultra was on as far as mainstream notoriety. Rakim., Kane, LL, Biz, G rap should have been on it.
@@germxv True but the question is why they never made a record or song together Not why wasn't Kool Keith on that particular song. In addition Kool Keith Did production for dreamworx , Steven Spielberg Movie Company & Still Does tours even now as we type. In 2025. There was a concert last week.
I've always felt that Rakim wasn't on Self Destruction because KRS1 had some type of issue with Rakim, because at that time in 89 Rakim was as hot as anybody who was on that record, and It didn't even dawn on me that LL wasn't even on it, in 1989?????, No Rakim & LL on that record, that's blasphemy
Hell naw. LL didn't like the beat and Rakim was hanging around to many street dudes at the time. KRS ONE is a dope all-time great MC and would never be scared of competition.
I think the artists not on the Self-Destruction record were in beefs (real or implied) with other artists, or, would have eclipsed the other artists with their bars.
Rakim the Goat. Rappers didn’t wanna be on the same record as the God. And Kris had the nerve to say Erick B and Rakim is down with us. Kris was jealous of Rah

KRS-One used to be my favorite rapper, but after observing him for a long time!! Dude is a snake!!! There is now way that Rakim shold have not been on Self Destruction, but remember Big Daddy Kane was a member of the Juice Crew. He wasn't going to make that record.
Rakim was not on Self Destruction because of the goons he associated with at the time i.e the real 50 cent! KRS One thought having Rakim on the track would be a walking contradiction to the message of the song.. LL did not feature due to his management & beef with Kool Mo Dee!
Rumor has it Def Jam blocked Cool J from being on Self Destruction. As far as Rakim in my opinion I think he was outshining everyone lyrically in '88 which may have caused tension. Anyone please? 🤔🫡🙏🏿
He basically said why - it would not be in support of the image that he already had after having been away for a minute. If he came back talking that 60's talk, he would be grouped in with the Public Enemy, KRS, Paris and other blak panther-like rappers. You can't grow with that image and like P.E., you get STUCK having to keep talking that talk.
Russell didnt want LL on a lot of socalled "Peace movement" tracks because it Wasnt his "image". His image was "The Females, being Cool ect", Russell had groups like Public Enemy in that Type of lane for THAT. Get it? Just like L Also Wasnt in Krs's "H.e.a.l" Project but he said a Verse to the video
@ yeah everybody knows he had looks on MTV and was able to do shows nobody else in hip hop could get booked for it created an air about him like he was separate and it would be years after that before he collaborated with other artist never forget how he refused to appear in the Rampage Video
Self destruction was a black song for black people LL didn't appear on it because he's white bosses told him it would tarnish his image to this day LL never made a rap song promoting black positivity he's a good rapper but not even close to being #1 he should of been on the album.
