Busy bee said he wasn’t even there lol

It’s interesting how KRS-One commented on this battle because just 6 years later he would demolish Melle Mel and Roxanne Shanté at the Latin Quarter IN ONE NIGHT!!!

Is Kool Moe's Dee the godfather of diss rap?

They skipped the best part where Moe Dee and LA went back and forth with the speed rap. Legendary 💩🙌

If HIP HOP STARTED IN THE BRONX….How was KRS1 a Graffiti kid in Brooklyn if YALL say HIP HOP WAS ONLY DONE IN THE BRONX????

Just think 🤔, Kool Moe Dee took out Busy Bee 🐝 Starsky and LL Cool J 😎 in different eras.

Did Kool Moe Dee have pre-written lyrics specifically for Busy Bee or he freestyled from the top of his head? Its curious because he referred to things Busy Bee had said in his performance.

true emcees......Ogs too..both of these men

It's funny when you hear ppl tell a story,like they really know,but really wasnt there. So you have many MANY ppl on here stating what they've heard from other ppl,who may or may not have been there. Stating it like its coming from their memory of actually being there. LMMMFFFAAAOOO this cracks me up (ice t and MANY others on youtube) trolling..

Kool Moe Dee clearly says "the battle with Busy Bee was spontaneous. It wasn't planned", but it's debated among hip hop fans whether Moe Dee was freestyling or wrote the lyrics in advance. I don't see how he could have planned it, because Busy Bee said they were friends before the battle, so why would Moe Dee prepare a diss for his own friend? Seems like it just happened in the heat of the moment

@ 2:07 ........ Was that a young BOBBY BROWN walking down the Hallway with BUSY BEE ?? LOL

Kool Moe Dee 🎶 🎵 Changed the Game for Me as a Listener..Phukkn Phenomenal

Classic hip-hop right there.

6:33 🤣

And they’re still friends… Much respect to the Icons of Hip Hop🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

good shit 🔥🔥🤙🏽

That’s why battels was Born

That was bullshit. Busy Bee didn't know he was going to do that. That wasn't a battle, it was a sucker-punch.

Lil Yachty should remix Kool Mo Dee diss record.

I was only 2 years old when this rap battle took place. I am glad we now have the internet to inform us of anything we are interested in etc.

If there's ever any fictionalized version of a movie with Busy Bee in it Mos Def is automatically cast 😆

Grand Master Caz is to Hip Hop as TK Kirkland is to Comedy 🏆😂

Was that Keith Sweat?!!

Tupac and Biggie should've learned from them about making peace.

Mos Def Can Play Busy Bee In A Movie. 💯

Who win the battle...busy bee or Kool Moe???

Always been two sides the throw ya hands 🙌 in the air And just raw lyrics

Kool Moe Dee 💪🏾

2022! We are still here. We lived during the birth of Hip Hop. Harlem World was blocks from were I was raised. Grant Residences. 125th. If you are a 60's & early 70's baby you lived during this special time in history. But those who didn't you are living your own history in Hip Hop and many older Kats would trade your youth for their age. They will never admit it. You are living were Kendrick Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize which is only the second musician to ever win and first ever in Hip Hop. (If you don't know you just don't know). J Cole, Ed Sweet Shirt, Roddy Ricch, Tyler, the Creator, Denzel Curry, Cordae, Joey Badass, Baby Keem, Jack Harlow, Rapsody, Ill Camille, Dreezy and Noname. (No Mumble rappers not included because we listen to lyrical gifted rappers) Respectfully!

THE BIRTH OF BARZ!!!!!!

Bobbbbb bibbbyy de-bobbbb dang a danggg diggieee diggieee 😭

This wasn’t really a battle, it was just an attack. It would be a battle if Busy Bee had the opportunity to reply🤔.

so was that what you called an authentic "freestyle" that Kool Mo Dee because he said that none of that was rehearsed or planned....now fast fwd to today, you got artists going to the radio station busting a so called "freestyle" only to be spitting something they written down and remembered or they reciting what they wrote from their phone as they flo......hmmmm......

Dee!

Listen to the whole battle. Busy Bee rocked the house! But Moe attacked him like a bear. It's pound for pound the best diss track ever

Why Mos Def looking just Busy Bee

When you draw a list of most influential rappers I always start with Melle Mel and Furious Five and Kool Moe Dee. That's the foundation right there.

Mod Def can definitely play Busy Bee for a HipHop movie 😳

I love Busy Bee in Wild Style. He has a great song that was on Sugarhill called “Busy Bee’s Groove.” He is really fun. That being said, Moe Dee is a BEAST I love that these two cats were and are friends

Beat at 1:13 ?

I just got finished listening to the battle.

Busy Bee reminds me of Mos Def. 😭💀

They both are legends

For the life of me, I don't know why they are interviewing this rapper iced T, he is not from New York City, he is from California

So one-sided

Kool Moe Dee the first battle rapper that would kill Eminem

"Somebody say YEAH! YOUS A SUCKER!" 😂

"Every body say Yeah you's a sucker " that line is so damn funny. I could laugh for days. I wish I was there. I was in elementary school living in Atlanta when that came out.
