In 1987 Kool Moe Dee released the album 'How Ya Like Me Now' which is also the title of the lead single. When Kool Moe Dee said "I'm bigger and better, forget about deffer" there was no doubt about who was the subject of his lyrical assault, as LL Cool J had released the album 'Bigger and Deffer' earlier in the year.
LL Cool J responded to this with the track "Jack The Ripper." The anomosity didn't end here though, it was only the beginning.

One of my favorite battles. It was an authentic battle over who was the better MC. No violence, and it didn't hurt either of their careers. LL Cool J vs Canibus was damn good too.

kool moe ee killed it

I still don't believe Kool Moe Dee never had a drink of alcohol, drug or puff of weed or dope. Even Krayzie Bone shook his head like "..whatever, this ninja is trippin' like a futhamucka..." when they were on that ignorant gossip show on BET a few years ago. As many hits as he's had just from spittin' some of the most simplest and easy to remember lyrics in history, you can't tell me he wasn't high off of at least a few puffs of sherm or good hydro. I don't respect women. Fuck bitches. :)

You missed the part about the crushed Kangol on the cover of the album.

Kool Mo Dee.. better words. new jack swing beat was catchy at the time.
LL Cool J better delivery, beats, voice, rhymes, more advanced style.. Kool Mo WHO???

LL def ripped the track but truth be told and only real heads recognize, BOBCAT was his ace in the hole and really brought the jiggy to this track if you take a close listen if it wasn't for Bobcat's scratches and cutz this song wouldn't be as much of a classic as it is.
Can't take nothin from L, he for sure brought the growl like only he can but Bobcat killed this joint!!

The funny thing is, they were friends the entire time. Promoting each other off so called 'dis' records. Brilliant.

Honestly regardless of who you support, the fact that this issue still lights people's fires make me very happy inside. It is a testament to the awesomeness of these artists and speaks to its relevancy. After watching this and reading the comments I am a little less likely to go insane when radio hip hop is played because I know that somewhere out there, someone feels the same way I do. Argue if you must, but never stop calling out the garbage spewing from your city's most popular station.

LL lost the war or words, but Moe lost the financial battle.
