    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.

    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

Russell Simmons managed lots of groups and he didn’t want them part of those songs. JMJ said FOH that’s why DMC and JMJ is on HEAL.

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 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!

      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
