Rapping........4 rhyming sake

Just makes me shake...............my head

Some people rap 4 other reasons.........

Like the MONEY they Make.

Interesting..... What MC spit those words of wisdom? Of course everyone wants to make money, but one rapper isn't better than another just because they made more money.. That's all I'm trying to say....

Unfortunately there are a few rappers out there that have that mentality.

I remember when LL made that diss record to Jay-Z because Jay wasn't promoting his record.

Decades ago, some musicians/singers (especially in the jazz & country fields) had "cutting" contests in clubs, which was a battle to see who played the best. Doo Wop groups did this on the street corners. Later breakin' crews had dance battles. It wasn't about money.

Don't forget the Motortown Revue battles and the battle of the blues that you could see for $1 a pop.

I never heard it, but heard about it...

It was quite awkward also. And then he used 50 to back him up. That was a sad state of affairs right there. So he's making "7 figures" elsewhere.

Yeah, Marvin Gaye got booed because he was battling Little Stevie.

"Aw he's 13, shut up!" That's when Berry was like "fuck this. They ain't gonna boo Marvin no more " and stopped it!

Sounds like a sad state of affairs..he was the last of the "Old" Def Jam, he shouldve known his time there was about to be over.... Dissing Jay doesn't change anything....

Yeah he was whining like a grown-ass son still living in his mama's basement complaining about her mama cutting in on his phone time with his "woman" or whatever.

If you ask anyone that has rhymed that financial success NEVER factored into a battle...which this was back then...nothing about winning a war for longevity or nothing like that...simply rhyming Delivery, words,cadence...lyrically destroying your opponent...nothing more...nothing less...Nothing and I mean NOTHING else mattered....... Carry on

Even on the show that's what the whole discussion focused on.

Yeah there wasn't even a talk about money issues in that episode. Is that a record?

Shoot, these cats were young and full of piss and vinegar...they battled for cred.

I doubt they had any idea where any of them would be twenty years later.

I forgot there was one minute they did talk about it. When he was with the Treacherous Three... but that was about it, because Bobby Robinson was stealing their money.

I even think someone talks about it in the show...I'm a LL fan, but at that time..he wouldn't have beaten Moe I have to get his book to see where he placed Rakim on his list

Sho ya right...not even on his best day,

And even then it really wasn't a huge amount.

Just watched it. Liked this episode a lot, didn't really know too much about Kool Moe Dee but this episode helped me learn a lot about him. I love how articulate he is, but in a way, I guess it makes him come off to be this type of person that's not so easy to deal with. I mean, I can respect that, it's his personality and he really don't stand for no one's bullshit. Love it.

I would love to see him on a show talking about hip hop. In fact, it would be interesting to see Kool, Ice-T, Chuck D. and KRS-One on a panel together doing a debate. That's something that would have me glued to my seat watching...

Intelligent, no nonsense brotha...probably why his talk show was never released.

Sorry, I might offend some folks when I say this, but I've always thought LL was nothing but a little bitch. He's just like Charles Barkley on the basketball court...a whiney.little.bitch. And my panties are supposed to get wet just because he licks his lips? Please. I'd rather listen to DeVante Swing's coked out ass SPEAK the lyrics of "Stay" to me. That would get my panties wetter than LL's wack ass. There I got it off my chest.

Carry on.

Missfee!!!! Cool J....a whiney lil' b??? Where did you get that impression? I'm not much of a fan of his now, but when he first burst on the scene......FUHGEDABOUTIT!!!!! I believe he was 16, I know I was 16 and HE.WAS.THE.MAN!!!! I recognized Moe Dee's skills, but I was always on J's side in that battle! Whiney??? Not "Jack The Ripper"!!!!

I don't know who he is now. He seems sort of "Hollywood". But back then......smh.

Okay Okay...I'll give you that. When he first came out he was hard as a dick. But as time went on and he developed a conceited ego, that's when I lost interest. It became more about his damn lips than his lyrics.
