Macklemore’s new song “Downtown” has caused a rift in the hip-hop community. The song felt the real brunt of the backlash from die-hard hip-hop fans when Mac performed the song at the MTV VMAs along with Grandmaster Caz, Melle Mel, and Kool Moe Dee. After hearing enough haters go in on social media, another veteran hip-hop icon Big Daddy Kane has spoken out in support of Macklemore. Find out what he said after the jump!

(Classic Video) Stop the Violence Movement ”Self Destruction” F/ Krs one, Kool Moe Dee, MC Lyte, Doug E. Fresh, Just-Ice, Heavy D, Public Enemy, Stetsasonic
The Stop the Violence Movement was formed by rapper KRS-One in 1988/1989 in response to violence in the hip hop and black communities. During a concert by Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy a young fan was killed in a fight. Coming soon after the shooting death of his friend and fellow BDP member Scott La Rock, KRS-One was galvanized into action and formed the Stop the Violence Movement. Composed of some of the biggest stars in contemporary East Coast hip hop, the movement released a single, “Self Destruction”, in 1989, with all proceeds going to the National Urban League. Everyday at 5pm we post a classic video that meant something in hip hop.. (If you have a favorite classic video let us know) @DJMIKESESSIONS
