New Music Seminar MC & DJ Battle, 1987 (Part 2)

Many thanks go out to Dutch of Old-School Hip-Hop Tapes (http://old-school-hiphop-tapes.blogspot.com/) for reuploading this battle after the stack of files in an old post from Memory Man's House of Tapes (circa 2008) went entirely dead--all the links are down now. He also deserves thanks for having the foresight to preserve copies of the battle on not one, not two, but THREE hard disks. He deserves pounds, gratitude, and TONS of respect... were it not for him, this famous battle tape probably would not still be around for people to hear... and adolescents/teenagers/kids/children nowadays NEED their musical education in regards to what constitutes REAL hip-hop.

00:00-07:17 - Melle Mel vs. MC Breeze: In the semi finals Mel went against emcee Breeze from Philadelphia and slayied him with a rhyme that was about a stick up kid/ killer. With that rhyme alone Mel could have won two, three years in a row. It reminded me of Denzel Washington in the movie Training Day, Denzel played a character we have never seen him play before, but he played the role outstanding! The same with Mel, I never heard him do gangster hip hop. His description was like a Slick Rick the Ruler story, it was very interesting. (Credit goes to Troy L. Smith [http://www.hip-hop.net/profiles/blogs/here-goes-the-rest-of-troy-l] for this description.)
07:18-12:51 - Cutmaster DC vs. Joe Cooley

@fizbombs: I completely agree with you. Mel ate into MC Breeze like sulfuric acid through a brain. And Cooley definitely managed to make a name for himself off of his incredible display in this battle. Thank you for the respect... many props are due to you as well.
