By All Means Necessary is the second studio album by American hip hop group Boogie Down Productions, released on April 12, 1988, by Jive Records. After the 1987 murder of DJ-producer Scott La Rock, MC KRS-One moved away from the violent themes that dominated Boogie Down Productions's debut album, Criminal Minded, and began writing socially conscious songs using the moniker the Teacher.
