But since you brought him up, I will say one thing. Kool Moe Dee is the one who stepped out of the rap game with dignity. LL these days is nothing less of a wack, sold out, bottom feeder who would probably stoop to anything to stay relevent and extend his career another few years. In comparison, Kool Moe Dee never wavered from his priniciples. And despite the hype machine surrounding Mr. Lady's Lover Cool James, I always thought KMD was better anyways. In fact, if you think "Mama Said Knock You Out" is better than "I Go To Work," you need to be slapped. The fraud-show should've been over a long time ago. Kool Moe didn't lose the battle. If they ever actually battled, LL would've gotten served hard. Add onto of that, Kool Moe is a top 5 GOAT MC, LL is not. Back on topic, I don't own this CD, but I own all the albums the songs came off of. They are all classic material. Great, oldschool jams uncontaminated by blood-sucking A&Rs and silly, bandwagon trends. My favorite thing though has always been Kool Moe Dee's excelent delivery. I can't really think of anyone who flows thier voice with that amount of clarity, percision, and confidence. He never sacrificed this when he was spit-firing his rhymes at blinding speed or flowing more slowly. His MCing still stands out today among so many of the supposed premier MCs that came afterwards who mumbled their flows half-hazardly. Much can also be said for his funky lyrics and wit. This is hip hop that will stand the test of time. When people go back and really study the history of hip hop, he will have a sizeable entry. Hell, hes responsible for the first record credited as introducing technical rhymes, metaphors, and speedy delivery. Comment (1) | Permalink | (Report this)
