By All Means Necessary is the second album from American hip hop group Boogie Down Productions, released on May 31, 1988 on Jive Records. After the 1987 murder of DJ-producer Scott La Rock, MC KRS-One moved away from the violent themes that dominated his debut, Criminal Minded, and began writing socially conscious songs using the moniker the Teacher

The phrase any means necessary was first used by Jean-Paul Sartre; it would be best-known through its invocation by Malcolm: We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary. The substitution of all for any implies a greater urgency, and perhaps desperation, to the struggle for racial equality and Black liberation in the late 1980s

He re-emerged the following year with By All Means Necessary, calling himself the Teacher and rapping mostly about issues facing the black community. His observations are sharp, lucid, and confident, yet he doesn't fall prey to the preachiness that would mar some of his later work, and he isn't afraid to be playful or personal.

By All Means Necessary is the second album from legendary American hip hop group Boogie Down Productions, and was originally released in 1988. This album is widely considered a landmark in political hip hop and is among theSource's100 Best Rap Albums. The murder of DJ Scott La Rock in 1987 had a profound effect on KRS-One, resulting in a drastic rethinking of his on-record persona. He re-emerged the following year with By All Means Necessary, calling himself The Teacher and rapping mostly about issues facing the black community. He refuses to allow the community to be stereotyped.

By All Means Necessary was a famous quote from a Malcolm X speech, but KRS-ONE much better resembles Martin Luther King the way he refuses to adopt the logic that two rights make a wrong, and kills people lyrically rather than literally. Throughout the album KRS-ONE uses satire, comedy, story telling, metaphors, poetry, history and "insanely rational" arguments while still showing impressive rhyming skill in virtually every verse in the album.
