[kdj997]

DMC is the Art Garfunkel of Run DMC

[kdj997]

@kdj997 No, I don't want to insult Art Garfunkel I meant the other guy from Wham! who wasn't George Michael....Andrew Wigley or whatever his name is.

[Xavtitipoo]

run and kool moe d killed it

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

@urbanlex o sorry im only 16 and i dont mean 2 make u look old but i havent heard of any breakers in da old days. ive only heard of rappers like melle mel and schoolly d. groups like da furious 5 and treacherous 3. and producers like marley marl and kool herc. i dont think breakers r really remembered

[oneairjordan]

@rakimkoolgrapwutang I find it funny that you say you only 16 and you don't mean 2 make anyone look old. But when we were kids just like you, we never said that and we look up to the older people and we couldn't wait to get older. So we could go to the Hip Hop events. And their is a lot of B-Boys AKA Breakers or Breakdancers look them up Crazy Leges. Just remember and tell all your friends everything you See, Hear or anything that has to do with Hip Hop and some rap now a days WE were the FIRST.

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

@urbanlex wat guy r u in da audience

[SuperMpare]

M P A R E!

[bishopofdanzig]

i love to perfrom but i'm not a ham

[curtisb3000]

You can tell KMD can freestyle freely without having anything wrote or in his mind, he pretty much was the best, however RUN DMC's title cannot be taken period.

[setbro]

I thought I dreamt i saw this battle on TV!!! I can't believe it's here!

[QualityServiced]

I want that old school beat where can I get ????!!!!!

[jacques30513]

@QualityServiced its called big beat by billy squire.

[zer0nable]

@QualityServiced

try this , UTFO (Backside Beat It Mix)

this sample is from billy squier - big beat

[phoneke]

DMC's voice is iconic. Theres no mistake as to who it is. Just like James Brown's screams and grunts, when he does it you know its him.

[Bootlegger718]

I was hoping to see this again in my life. I taped it off tv back in 85 or 86. The breakin scenes are all over youtube and people should check the NYC breakers out from this same show. It was a pilot show and was never picked up by anyone.

[KGC04]

[djseriousbizness]

Graffiti Rock and the Hip Hop World. Damn...now that brought it back right there...7th grade. This show only came on like once or twice and I think this was the pilot episode. I think they had a breakdance battle between the Rock Steady Crew and the NYC Breakers on here too if I remember correctly.

[TheENSO1]

yeah!

[fuhgidabowdit911]

Its JAM MASTER JAY at the back with turntable. GRAFFITI ROCKS what a collaboration of old school.

[fuhgidabowdit911]

Many of assholes in todays they don't know about kool moe dee. The true legend of hip hop who went through many of battles to stand on the top. Well nowadays it has been change to word called beef. Kool moe dee was first old school rapper to appear wearing glass as LL cool j says star trek shades.

[ioneking]

This is when hip hop was fun and all good!!!!!!!!!!!

[ProtaJ]

Kool Moe Dee was str8 spittin...i like special K 2...

[Blackjesus3]

WEN RAP WAS FUN

[falsepride]

This was when people feared rap, now it is corny and everybody loves it!!!

[Blackjesus3]

very trueee

[oldschoolbx1970]

No doubt about that. Rap b-came corny somewhere b-tween the late 90's n' the 2000's. That wuz when all the clownz n' faggetz took over.

[falsepride]

@oldschoolbx1970 True that 1!!!

[oldschoolbx1970]

@falsepride Thanks for agreeing with me.

[djskinz454]

@falsepride Amazing isn't it? It's bAss ackwards

[JEDI7ACEN]

@falsepride Now that the TRUTH! Gotta be a spot in Wikipedia to put this quote in.

[kool347]

kool moe dee sucks dick

[TheStrawbeery]

go listen to your new stuff you don't know nothing about hip hop this is real hip hop

[jemiee]

[brucelee7525]

[biGGO43]

[BusterShade]

[TheStrawbeery]

[biGGO43]

Right way to BATTLE, Get 'em MOE D

[r3pl1kazt47]

Gotta give it up for Kool Moe Dee!

[kixmgc]

this is hip hop

[deeharr1]

well, i must tell u, in this clip moe dee looks a lil stiff and said the same thing twice, if u ask me, special k sounds the best of all four in this clip

[IcedGemsz]

the origins of rap

[DaChef1974]

Kool Moe Dee tries so hard to be cool, but it's just cheesy. RUN DMC is the defintion of cool.

[supersoyboy]

wtf? Kool Moe Dee is far from try hard man.

[TheStrawbeery]

kool don't have try to be cool they paved the way for run d mc it's obvious that your new school

[DaChef1974]

Kool Moe Dee or Treacherous 3 had their albums released at pretty much the same time as Run DMC, which I all bought when they came out btw. I'm not Old or New School.

I never liked Dee's flow or his image. Simple as that. If you disagree, that's cool, too.

[cuttvert]

you better check that. run dmc came Years later.. and got there ass whipped in this battle

[baraka155]

DMC's first rhyme sucked

[tabler1010]

how come run just said some of his lyrics

[oku12]

FRESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jstorm1975]

I remember when that aired and kool moe dee has always been on point. If you want to see some dancing then go look up MC HAMMER Cuz your in the wrong place damn wet behind the ears

[chimonkey123]

What's with the random white guy with Pith helmets?

[JakeyJake1138]

The ANNOUNCER IS HILARIOUS "You Know It

" "Word"

[DrThunderBird]

damn kool moe dees so dam cool

[saliymdumas]

what the name that beat they freestylin on

[osp80]

big beat by billy squier

[tabler1010]

that was just Jay freestyling

[A87th]

Moe Dee has always been lyrical, but he just stands there like a tree. Special K is boring. He was the least popular out of the Treacherous Three. Spoonie G should have been in his place. Run and DMC were showman. They played off each other. Run gets u hyped with his voice and movement. And DMC (while not the most lyrical) makes u laugh with his killer delivery.... What's da verdict? Treacherous couldn't fuck wit Run-DMC, Maaan!!!

[cuttvert]

even after all that run dmc got thier ass handed to them in the battle. big deal run made some faces and moved his hands when we was rappin. run dmc could never beat the T 3 in a battle

[A87th]

T3 & T La Rock basically invented the "big word style" and that was their game. But even 4 & 5 syllable words couldn't save T3 against what RunDmc had back then. Battles are about charisma, delivery, and, yes, style (i.e., facial expressions, body language and fashion sense). In the mid-80's, if u put RunDmc & T3 on the same show, RunDmc would have blown T3 off the stage, because just like in the video, T3 was too boring!!! ha,ha

[cuttvert]

I dont get where you say there boring. maybe in your mind. but your bias for run dmc. and dont talk about battles. kool moe d won everyone he was ever in.ASK busy b. run dmc. LL koOl J

[TeamBring1t]

True dat. Kool Moe D is undefeated

[A87th]

Ha,Ha..1rt off, I explained why T3 was boring in my first 2 posts. READ THEM! 2nd, I'm articulate, so I dont need u 2 tell me whats "in my mind'. Its not bias, its obvious why 1 group are music icons & the other isnt. If u liked T3s performance more, thats your opinion, but comparing RunDmc 2 T3 is like MJ 2 Harold"Baby Jordan"Miner. 3rd, Moe Dee hilariously ambushed BusyB unexpectedly. Thats not a battle,sir. Last, Moe had better dis songs but LL dis records are still listenable 2day,so I dunno

[BHeadie]

Flippin Gangsta. . .  Word

[legopants]

though not a real battle, nor freestyle and all staged and that, to me this is like the changing of the guards from old to new skool in the same way as the busy bee vs kool moe dee battle. even thought kool was a better rapper and they look cool in their own right, run just ozzes charisma and is cool as fuck and rise the bar.

[fuckedfromabove1988]

this is madd cheezy.

[oryanquest]

madd cheezy....Cause you are to wet behind the ears to know what real Hip Hop...go fix bikes youngin

[cuttvert]

K and kool moe d took this by a mile

[superjames18]

run d.m.c won

[bryanzboo01]

nononononononononono! kool moe dee & speacial k won

[stevjah]

CLASSIC RAP FIGURES

[lilbear502]

hip hop isnt it just dosnt have any soul in it no more computers have no soul

[wra7h]

lol its not freestlye

[DagothJeff]

Personally I think Run DMC is better than anyone out there, but Moe Dee's got a rockin voice. And it pains me to say it, but DMC sucked BALLS in this.

[Originalman320]

My little brother said the same thing. We actually know Run-DMC. They went to school with our oldest brother.

[DagothJeff]

That's awesome! Those dudes are gods.

[quartinhoobscuro]

que isso a batalah da st cruz ? parece eh em malandro

[ENOSIRA]

nothing happened its just underground now

[ultrakink31]

so is your brain shitdip

[mainface]

what the fuck happened to hip hop :(

[slypito]

best of all tyms

[chrisrap4ever]

fuckin real shit!good old dayz!

[GiselaNYC1]

no doubt this is what it was all about back in da days, motivating the crowd with hype lyrics & to dope beats...getting everyone on that dance floor and do their thang!!!

[pr2409]

Thats what I'm talking about !!! Old school at it's finest. And check it, nobody got shot !!!! This is what Hip Hop was all about.

[GiselaNYC1]

Thank you Tom, love the oldschool beat. Brings me back good memories from my b-girl days...Much respect to both Kool Moe D & Special K (Treacherous Three) and to Run DMC. Long live hip hop!!!

[ITSFLIATV]

MOE DEE MURDERED THIS SHIT!!!!

[trezuru]

SPECIAL K KILLED IT TOO!!!

[kingdavy1]

MOE DEE BEST OF the BEST ICONS

[skopered]

graffiti rock

[ALG0FL4SH]

now everything sucks

[Jayroc88]

where u from? this is an old skool battle its not how it is today when niggaz come at each other hard and make em cry and go kill eachother back in da day battling was about who get the crowds hyper rather than who is better and who is more superior

[BOX5]

somebody is speaking that networth good yell

[KingPivit]

I defenietly remember this episde. Check out the "Vince the Price" guy at :44

[brucelee7525]

kool moe dee killed it

[bklynboss]

these guys rap better than most sothern rappers.

[gunkydood]

true dat.

[kaiart]

The god is one name: RAKIM!

[kingdavy1]

Kool Moe won how hard is it to ryme be and me in the place to be that was his whole thing run d-m-c sucked

[alibinmuhammad]

Kool moe dee got his ass kicked just now almost as bad as he did by LL Cool J

[fastville]

cool j won more record sales and is a great rapper but moe dee destroyed him lyrically in all his diss records.

[alibinmuhammad]

Jack the Riipper ripped Kool Moe Dee a new asshole

[superheistmeister]

You've got to be kidding me. Some of LL's stuff was dope, but he was on the whole a sex symbol and could not rest with the likes of Moe Dee, Rakim, Kane or even Run (the last imo).

[KamenHanya]

I agree with you. LL went from B-boy rap to the "high heel" rap. This battle the OLD SCHOOLERS definitely took it.The treacherous three (especially Moe Dee)rocked! But at THAT time, RUN DMC was on the up & up and there was nothing anybody could do to stop the hype they were getting. The newcommers to the hip hop scene couldn't discern what was "real" or traditional as opposed to something that just sounded appealing to their own particular tastes. RUN DMC came to fit the mainstream image more

[2KILLAVILLE]

@alibinmuhammad Kool moe dee crushed jack the ripper with Let's Go. LL cool J couln't see Moe Dee with the witty skilled rhymes, lyrics & wordplay.

[DivineIntelligence]

Real hip-hop....

[Azone01]

It was'nt until 1986, Don Cornelius made way for more Hip-Hop artists to appear on Soul Train because thats what the dancers liked and by 1987, it was the most popular genre in black music, besides New Jack Swing (which is sometimes a merge of Hip-Hop). Before 1986, only well established charting rap artists had their music on Soul Train like Run DMC, Sugarhill Gang, Kurtis Blow, Grand Master Flash and Whodini. Those who did'nt have great record deals had no exposure by Don Cornelius.

[drlove1972]

Classic shit right here

[heylover3]

wow that was too cool... i kinda feel bad for dmc though... was hoping he had more punch to his rhymes.

[UdoShan]

How the HELL did I miss THIS growing up? Was This only on New York?

UdoShan: Naw. It played in Chicago too. I don't know where else it played but th
