The phrase "violence" target="_blank">violence begets violence" target="_blank">violence" (or "hate begets hate") means that violent behaviour promotes other violent behaviour, in return. The phrase has been used since the early 19th century.
violence" target="_blank">Violence begets violence" target="_blank">violence is a concept described in the Gospel of Matthew, verse 26:52. The passage depicts a disciple (identified in the Gospel of John as Peter) drawing a sword to defend against the arrest of Jesus but being told to sheath his weapon:

"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword."




Words by Martin Luther King Jr.


Martin Luther King Jr. (1929–1968) used the phrase when saying:

Hate begets hate; violence" target="_blank">violence begets violence" target="_blank">violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love... Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding.
The ultimate weakness of violence" target="_blank">violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence" target="_blank">violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence" target="_blank">violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence" target="_blank">violence merely increases hate.
Returning violence" target="_blank">violence for violence" target="_blank">violence multiplies violence" target="_blank">violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

violence" target="_blank">Violence Begets violence" target="_blank">Violence is the seventh studio album by underground Philadelphia hip hop duo Jedi Mind Tricks. This is their only album to not feature production from Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind because "his heart wasn't into making JMT records anymore" as well as the fact that both Vinnie Paz and Jus Allah grew tired of waiting. Two singles were released, "Target Practice" and "When Crows Descend Upon You," for which a video has been made. In addition, Shuko remixed the song "Target Practice".




Reception


This album received mixed and often polarized reviews. XXL Magazine gave the album an L, saying that despite Stoupe's absence on the production, "not even the occasional curve ball (like the reggae-inflected “Chalice”) can harness Paz’s Mephistophelean fervor." HipHopDX noted in a 3/5 review that "the rage filled rants can become monotonous as the album wears on, but some longtime fans will be satisfied with the angst-fueled vocals." Other critics were not so kind. Matthew Cole, writing for Slant Magazine, derided the disc's production in a 0.5/5 write-up, saying "a crew of guest producers step in to stuff the album with sub-Luger trunk rattlers and RZA knock-offs that are a lot less spooky than their portentous titles would suggest." The album earned 66 out of 100 from review aggregator Metacritic based on 5 reviews.




Sales


The album debuted at #92 on Billboard 200 being the group's best chart performance earning their first ever top 100 spot, selling 4,400 copies in the first week. As of January 1, 2012, the album has sold 10,652 copies in the US.
