35 Comments

Iโm DMC in the place to be And the place to be is with DMC

Moe Dee is the founding father of the modern emcee that would go on to birth legends like Rakim, Krs One & Nas. Before Moe Dee everyone was using nursery rhymes & rapping like they came straight out of the 1950s. He changed the game after the takedown of Busy Bee.

This is super Hard ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅโ๏ธ๐ช๐พโ๐พ The only thing that wouldโve made this better is if L.A. Sunshine were there

Special K said "That was light" Tay Roc's signature line. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

Is that the award winning actor Vincent Gallo strutting his stuff in the background?

Look around, a bunch of goofy Latinos being fans. They were NOT rapping or DJโayin๐ค

Dope๐ฅ๐ฏ Got nothing but respect for the Old school rap legends that start rap! Luv it๐ฏ

Koon Moe Dee said he agreed to dumb down his lyrics before this segment. Everyone is free styling except Run

Then came Video Music Boxโฆ

After watching this Kool Moe Dee and Run DMC video, Iโd like to personally offer my gratitude to LL for ushering Hip Hop into the mainstream and far away from the pioneers.

And now they rap about killing each other

Nobody beats RUN DMC in my books ever but he did a good try.

Talk about the BLUEPRINT! No matter who won the battle. What you have to agree is that these guys are some of the ORIGINATORS of this genre. Now this is what real rap music is suppose to sound like. FOR REAL!!! ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ๐ฅ๐ฏ

Respect the foundation. ๐๐พ๐๐พ

Kool Mo Dee won

Listen, this song went so hardโit went hard in the middle of the night when you were on the phone with your girlfriend, dedicating slow jams, it went hard when you were hanging out in the Queens neighborhood with your people and walking the block with your boombox.

Hip hop has come a long way

JamMaster Told Kool Moe Dee to Take It Easy on RUNDMC...Special K and Kool Moe Dee Was The Epitome of Lyricism ๐๐ฅ๐ป๐ต

Graffiti Rock needed more episodes, for real. I remember catching the pilot episode in Philly, praying weโd get more. What a time to be alive. #ClassicHipHop

In 2080 this will sound like 90s-2000s rap ๐คฃ

@Sewerman69 Run with the dub.

Real rappers, mastering the English language. No cursing or speaking one foul verse!

No voice like DMCโs

fucking awful. I rapped better in 6th grade

This is the beginning of rap music. Not really sure what would have come before this. Except pigmeat markham Here come the judge Check out this video, "original rapper pig markem"

This was my time, in 84" I was 20yrs old. When we created rap music and it was still in the streets in the community centers it was clean, motivational, inspirational, informative or militant. No cursing, Bs, nigs or drugs. Now it is unrecognizable.

KMD all the way
Not a battle it was known as cipher....this really dope keep the culture alive.

@Drodian_Pryme

Graffiti Rock!

Kool Mo Dee, the godfather of Emceeing. That complex lyrical wordplay.
