The Rev. Al Sharpton is taking the battle against rap violence to Wall Street.
The activist minister said he plans to buy stock in record companies that put out hip-hop music - and then show up as a shareholder to have his say.
"I don't think too many CEOs want to see me come into his stockholders' meeting to say they're not doing enough to stop the violence," he told the Daily News, adding he also plans to press the Federal Communications Commission for action.

"At what point does it go from programming to inciting?" he asked.
Sharpton said he is set to meet Thursday with new FCC Chairman Kevin Martin to push for stricter oversight of hip-hop radio stations.
"I do not understand how the FCC can make a lot of noise around Janet Jackson and that case with Howard Stern," he said, "but
has not said anything about a pattern of shooting and other violence at radio stations."
