Kool Moe Dee - How Cool Can One Black Man Be?

[ellabrisky]

nice dance

[SuperBuddyBrew]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha



[DJMedicine]

is this is a rhetorical question?

[The2ndDonMafianChild]

was this in a movie r not if so what movie?

[JMU1023]

wtf this song needs to have more views

[mace16]

dougie to this shit. i fucking dare you.

[Krisando]

@mace16

The whole dougie thing is a sham, just a way new rappers show their "swag!?", modern rap sucks, even though it was created in the 80's, its popularity is fairly recent.

[omeganaphtali]

How cool can one black man be??

This Nigga "got the nerve to have them star trek shades on"

[iranildolemos]

anos 90 foi demais essa musica me fas lembrar muito.

[LILCBOY15]

LOL this is hilarious

[LoveFuturePresent]

He erks my nerves for some reason..I love that Jazzed up horn in it..The Vapors By Biz Markiee

[omunozl]

"AINT NO PRESSURE

WHEN I TURN THE HEAT UP THE COOL BREEZE WILL REFRESH YA"

HOW COOL?

THE LYRICAL STYLE AND THE THREADS WERE ALL HIS OWN...

TODAY EVERYBODY SOUNDS THE SAME AND DRESSES THE SAME

[southernmarine25]

"dude sounds like he's reading a dictionary when he rhymes." that's because he, like many of the great rappers of the 80's and very early 90's, had an extensive vocabulary and they took pride in the "knowledge is power" motto which is something today's rappers can't even spell.

[str8outtatexas1]

@southernmarine25 - hey brah you're exactly right about moe dee and the great rappers slash lyricist of the 80's & 90's. They had so much substance,creativity,soul,know­ledge & charisma. brah i'm 44 and grew up on all of this.these plastic,no rapping,pre-school lyric producing,styrofoam beat making,thugs of today have totally destroyed hip-hop and rap. it's all about bitches,ho's,money,bling,guns,­beef,strip clubs,cars,murder,illiteracy,p­rison,ignorance and other senseless bullshit! str8 garbage

[rakimkoolgrapwutang]

@str8outtatexas1 nah hip hop is stil gud nowadays. plenty ofd veterans such as wu tang nas rakim etc stil holdin it down. also people like percee p and ra the rugged man who didnt get any albums out in da 90s r relwasin stuff now. also people like lupe fiasco ludacris and j cole r gud. my fav emcees at da minute r aesop rock and percee p. my all time favorite is kool g. 2011 was a gud year 4 hip hop. beastie boys kool g rap and celph titled all released new albums.

[DarthVader323610]

this song was in grand theft auto san andreas

[voltronsbabi]

This wasn't his style, I think he was trying to switch it up like LL but he shouldn't have, don't sound natural. LL is a better vocalist and puts emotion and emphasis on the right words, dude sounds like he's reading a dictionary when he rhymes.

[KingMellow11]

@voltronsbabi No my brotha, It's the other way around. Moe was way before L.L. L,L, even admitted that he learned from Moe Dee.

[Z1986]

the sunglasses go hard

[IceManLikeGervin]

Moe Dee is a top 10 emcee- point blank!

[rakim467]

I have been listening to this scene since 85 and regardless of the battles with LL and criticisms with Moe'd's look he is an MC who deserves respect. He has seen the beginning of the culture and is a pioneer who has put out some classic albums. So from the UK respect to a great lyricist and artist!

[IceManLikeGervin]

Moe Dee is certified dopified on the Kool hiphop tip!!

[Timario007]

my DAWG!!!!!! him n daddy kane was the smoothest mofo's n da game

[RicoCoracao2011]

so CLASSIC

[jeanlouis7]

sick track!

[aliquippawill]

Well I'll be Damn..This is FUNK on the level of the Godfather himself, James Brown! To think, back in the day, a few folks actually "clowned" Moe for various aspects of his appearance, namely his "welder" glasses. The simple fact of the matter is....Kool Moe Dee was one of the premiere INTELLIGENT, ARTICULATE & INSIGHTFUL Hip-Hop artists in the history of the genre. The brother not only had a DEVASTATING "flow", he put THOUGHT into every word he spoke. Definitely one of the All-Time great M.C.'s

[diekeschojt3]

Kool moe dee just SLAUGHTERS every other rapper or mc lyrically!

[fuckengerginof]

@diekeschojt3 Big Daddy Kane - Young, Gifted & Black

[Devestato72]

@diekeschojt3 what........rakim too? Rakim was the nas back then.....what about big daddy kane?

[MystroMusicMan]

How Kool can one of the ALL TIME top 5 best lyricists be?? Ask Kool Moe Dee!!

[retrotronikal]

sounds like biz markie the vapors

[BushiBato]

@retrotronikal yepp same sample,but of course his flow and especially tone of voice is so different than the Biz Marr.Also this beat has a mean 808 kick drum arrangement Vapors is more about the bass line,

[Timario007]

@retrotronikal  same sample

[dj4monie]

What you 5?

[ConcaCon]

The light skinned woman in the limousine is ill on some 80s Sade type look.

[Undergroundhiphoop]

Totally feel how he says " yeee " haha he's flow is to cool.

[latina1981]

lmfao...that is funny, cause he looks like him.

[hotrodd65]

this song was sampled from james brown's popa don't take no mess!!

[dondiyo]

[RussTerp]

Everymorning I ask myself this same question, how cool can one black man be? LOL

[KeyboardRambo]

[kevhar12]

The talented rappers from the 80`s and 90`s is superb.

[retrotronikal]

[LAVATHEGREATONE]

[mrwesdaddy]

I look in the mirror and I ask myself this same question everyday ; )

[Smiff74]

@mrwesdaddy lol

[hunclemike]

@mrwesdaddy I do the same, and I'm a cracker.

[hakanozan]

One of the best lyrical performances in the rap music industry by one of the greats. This is one the unnoticed pearls of rap.

[10074888]

I can't find an instrumental to this track to save my life! Anyone know a link where I can find this instrumental

[esbienche]

how cool...lol... ;) i love that...

[98weirdscience]

Kool Moe Dee, one of the greatest and underrated ever.

[RayDubMusic]

How cool is the dude?!!! lol KMD is still the shit. Got mad respect for the oldschool MCs!!!

[classof77]

Dude. There's a video for this tight track from back in the day.

I had no clue.

Def. my fave hip-hop use of JB's "Papa Don't Take No Mess".

[johndoefolife]

that sample is pappa dont take no mess james brown

[retrotronikal]

thats the sample from the vapors, Biz Markie!

[clevelandbrowns303]

back in the 80's this guy was this decade's version of jay-z real talk he was like mike tyson in hip-hop

[bigghost27]

damn i was just about to type that he was the 80s Hova lol definitely a good point fam

[TheMechanic11]

Rocked those shades like a mutha!

[modpoetgod]

i ask myself this question everyday...

[KLRuffin]

moe Dee was the man! This song was and is still TIGHT! I always rooted for him when he was beefin' wit L.L..

[supercunderlover]

c larock records summer hip hop old put new tour starts this summer if anybody know where moe d is send me an e mail free swhow for you

[BIGGAHITZ]

I love when BDK flowed over this beat before KMD. Still dope though.

[awahl15]

And Biz Markie before BDK.

[chicano67801]

tight beat

[IIIIIISeanIIIIII]

chicano67801 - Tight beat is absolutely right! The beat was sampled from James Brown song called "Papa Don't Take No Mess" ...just one of the many Rappers who have sampled from him..which still amazes me....Kool Moe Dee's lyrical delivery over a James Brown beat is mad nice!

I recommend you check out any thing from James Brown and JB's which is the band that backed him...when you get a chance if you have not already! see if you like what you hear good old R&B and Funk music! :- )

[jahlove426]

Moe Dee to me is still the man.

[drkthms1]

yes he is

[IIIIIISeanIIIIII]

jahlove426 - Yeah still the man!

He's one of my favorite Emcee's

Notice I said Emcee NOT Rapper! : - )

[genkijin]

Obama? What? Stop!

[arealcrazygangster]
