    • @Mikegee63

      I would say this was the first time that 2 rappers who actually had a name for themselves in the streets and we're on a lot of of the flyers and performed at all the hip hop spots battled. This battle took place in Harlem World which was kind of the Mecca of hip hop back then. This wasn't even a battles, everyone knew that Busy Bee was more of a crowd motivator type of emcee and Moe Dee was a real emcee that had skill and was killing it with those fast talking rhymes. They weren't even in the same league. Back then, we didn't call it rap, it was called being an emcee and what emcees did was rhyme which is equivalent to rappers today having bars.
