a living a legend forever

YYYEEESSSS he is unrecognized and deserves all the awards....❤❤❤

He didn’t put swearing in his lyrics. Clearly an artist can rap w/o sounding angry.

Word!

Remember him from the movie Beat Street.. As party of the Magnificent Four.. Xmas Rap

My mama 74 and she still knows the lyrics even my younger brother did this at his h.s talent show and won first place

Those black guys look like gang members!

I love when metal dorks always have to tell everyone that they’re into metal. No one cares lol

@@lilstinker1949 nothing wrong with explaining that an artist from another genre impresses you. i'm a 90s hip hop head who admires a few rock/metal acts.

Times moving

MANSON'S LAWYER LOST AWWW

This song will never die as long as I'm alive

@@ashleybritt5356 I'm with you on that 💯 💯💯💯💯

Okay...?? Lbvs

well said, mate! I'm 50 & white. love me some Kool Moe Dee! 🇦🇺🍺🏉🇦🇺🍺🏉🇦🇺🍺🏉

He said that but there were way more people being shot and stabbed than there is now. Difference is there were rules to it. You would usually settle beef with your hands first. That all went away by the early 90's. A lot of dudes afraid to take what was coming.

You’re gonna get bum rushed is my fav part! Played this song constantly in 1988

You got a picture of that???

Nice!

how did that work out for you?

No you didn't...lol!!!!

@@valenciennesrichelieu6325 lol no doubt I would love to see that pic lol

I miss them too Sheels1976 and I remember riding the bus with my grandmother as well!! Great times for sure!!😀⌚❤🙌

@Sheels1976. Co-sign 🔥 🔥

Yesssss

The "cool" dude.

😂😂😂😂you took me back to 79', 80', 81'! There was no bus system, just a slow walk around the projects or chillin at the rec center blasting your boom box. I wonder what would happen if you tried that now...🤔🤔😂😂

Back in the day when a one on one fight was heard of. Afterwards of course the winner if not from the same creq had to leave not stay and gloat. That is the reason for this lyric.

@@davidescobar5366 I agree.

@@davidescobar5366 lol hell naw if you was winning you was getting jumped lol I’ve been on both sides of that coin lol

That’s how it was where I come from lol

I was 7. Good times

I was 8 years of age back in 88 as well, brotherman 🤔👍.

I was 19 going on 20...

I was 11 and I remember when this came, had a cousin who used to blast the LP on her rack sterio system

I was 11 yrs old

Nowadays they do the same thing

Agree

Sure if you're referring to the Cosby kids. Dunno about you but the vocabulary is tied to the local, state, and federal governance. Their piss poor management and waste of money on poorly developed initiatives meant many were fucked from day one (pardon my vocabulary). Rap is rap it doesn't matter if they're cussing or not. That doesn't diminish it's contribution (mumble rap though...). Much like every other genre is the exact same. Same disgruntled youth saying the same thing their parents generation of disgruntled youth were saying. But you're more concerned with the cussing not the messages. I see...

Agree

They still do they call them Backpack Rappers

Underrated? What? He is a LEGEND!

He was widely recognized as one of the best and most influential rappers, but largely forgotten these days. I mean, this song IS 22 years old.

@Luis Ishmael Yes, but I'm a time traveler who traveled forward 10 years, so for me, it's around 20 years

@Luis Ishmael ABC rapper? You're an idiot

Luis Ishmael you clearly haven’t listened to his works AFTER and BEFORE his second album.

Amen

What, corny?

Ok boomer

Soooo true

Yeah I hear you sister often the old school myself born in the 80s grew up in the 90s this song came out around that time at least it is better than that Mumble rap now they got nowadays that is some straight-up b******* I don't understand what the fuck they're saying sometimes

Eastside to the Westside 💯 what side is the best side👊

Nostalgic Glasses is on!

OK LATER LOL

only the best rappers

@@dennissimpson8074 east

Lol http this song real but damn you love this old ass era? Lmao

Anthony Miller These so-call rappers sound like they had marbles shoved down their throats.

Back then older generation was saying the same thing about this

@@relmons92 The current generation is like a bunch of lost sheep mumbling!!!!!

Dwight Love actually i can hear clearly every word

@@relmons92 You have amazing hearing if you can

By men in black and karma

Real music love cool moe Dee

Did you nut?!

Dont forget nelly years later with country grammar

True! And I'm 15 and know this!

I was listening to this in the early 80's

jnorek wow ur right

Cowboy Troy

they dont need guns, they will body slam you instead.

Take a listen to the lyrics old man.

@@ChaingunCassidy Right?? Lmao. The premise is "we used to feel up girls in the dark. Then dudes with guns came around. Now we have guns too." C'mon man. Stop idolizing the past unnecessarily.

@@ChaingunCassidy buy comparison to today, I can understand my man's point. Today it's right in your face loud and hard.. bitches, niggas, hand gun gestures... In this song it's about using your fists over a gun. My Uncle plays this all the damn time and I can't lie, I do vibe to this more.. It's more chill.

@@CinHalCedHerChance You sound like some boomer who thinks rap hasn't changed since 2005, listen to some RTJ.

Kool Moe Dee was your father

These folks, today, couldn't have competed with the rappers who are the reason they have the opportunities they have, to make it, in the music industry all these years later. Those old school rappers, both men & women, fought to get doors kicked in so they could be heard and made it so much easier for all who came after them to get an honest shot at making it and getting paid!

Oh I'm amazed still love it

Why stop there?

We have a floor of the hospital called 3 West. So, of course, I refer to it as the Wild Wild West (because it absolutely is).

Me😏

Me

Yep. Like it oughta be. Some folks became friends later and laugh about it when they lived to get old. Lol.

There were rules to how it went down, hands first. If that didn't work, it went from there.

Oh! so you must have never heard of HOW YA LIKE ME NOW?

not to mention I GO TO WORK. you must be a youngster.

@@seriousblack5299 now that song I go to work had high energy , I use to rock that song in my car .

I love ‘I Go To Work’, especially the bass and percussion in the very first stanza

You didn't like "How You Like Me Now?"

Rap is still "real" and still has meaning.

@@bobbob8789 to whom exactly?

@A S blame NWA for that. Hell i used to bump NWA when they was new.

Amen 🙏

Iron- Game Yass! This was the Jam! I miss everything about this era.

Gotta take in Mr MOE DEE
