The majority of so called hip hop fans didn't like intelligent rap and the other people hated hip hop...and this was at hip hop's peak in the late 80's.25 years later we have no hip hop and no intelligence
Quite simply, and without debate........Kool Moe Dee was one of the very finest MC's the world of Hip-Hop has produced. Intelligent, articulate, charismatic; Moe possessed all the qualifications it required to be considered the very best at his profession. God bless Arsenio Hall for creating a venue for all African American entertainers to receive the national exposure that perhaps they would have NEVER received otherwise.....and their talents so richly deserved.
He sounds just like his recording....that is a rare thing these days....most artists are enhanced a bit. That's cool that he is authentic. I like his music.
@@LADYDIVAfulArsenio didn’t allow vocals to be lip synced. All acts had to have live vocals or they couldn’t perform. This is why Milli Vanilli was never allowed to perform. Music could be recorded but vocals had to be live.
Omg...one of my favorite rap songs ever and it is like the original track to a T. What a talent to rap this song. So fast, so filled with words and not one slip up. Well done KMD!
I was 21 during this performance. Also the year my dad passed away. Glad he got to see me graduate and made something of myself. I started my new job and every morning I had to go to work...
Love this since EVER! I was 18 when this song dropped. Ever single rapper today really has a thing to learn. Moe DEE gave complete sentences and Full thought concepts. Not like nowadays half sentence and fractured concepts. MOE DEE ! bring it back!

Now that was real dancing back then. Kool Moe Dee was 🔥🔥. At the high school dances the floor would be packed whenever his songs would play. He was always handsome and STILL is! Good to know all is well with him. 💖
Daaamn! sure miss those days and those dances!!! Brought back memories when me and my brother would play these songs at home and tear the floor up lol. Lame ass crowd tho. SMDH!
I know a lot of rappers cover their mouths with their microphone so you can't tell they aren't really rapping live - but you can see KMD's lips hitting the verse whenever you can see them clearly. I cannot tell if we're hearing his live voice the whole time or not here but even the studio version is an A game.
KMD, brings me back to the night I watched this on Arsenio! This song and Wild, Wild , West have been on my playlist ever since. I’m 58 now. And Caucasian, lol
This Guy Was & Still Is The Greatest & Most Gifted Rapper Ever In The Game, Jay-Z, LL Cool Jay & The Others Don't Even Come Close To The Extraordinary Rapper GOAT Talents OF: ( KOOL-MOE-DEE ): Case Closed 😯😧

That was live -- breath control-- A true emcee
Dead-ass crowd did not realize the level of quality they were privileged to witness at the time.
Isn't that the truth!!! Kool Moe Dee is a legend!!!
The majority of so called hip hop fans didn't like intelligent rap and the other people hated hip hop...and this was at hip hop's peak in the late 80's.25 years later we have no hip hop and no intelligence
That crowd was dead, this was some exciting shit.
A true MC. One of raps immortals
@@mtwadamelaijogo1110. Exactly. He helped LL Cool j get even more famous. Because I didn't know Jack the ripper was a diss to Kool Moe dee 😂

Moe dee was one of the greatest MC out there
Still is.
Those dancers were on point!!! They went to work
They sure did!!!
Kool Moe Dee is the most overlooked MCs of the '80s. All timer without a doubt.
He's been rocking since the 70's
He sounds just like his recording....that is a rare thing these days....most artists are enhanced a bit. That's cool that he is authentic. I like his music.
Its moe Dee
I was thinking the same thing, hes awesome
Well. He’s speaking not singing. What do you expect. 😂 😂
@@dickiegreenleaf750 it is possible to not sound like your recording even when speaking
@@LADYDIVAfulArsenio didn’t allow vocals to be lip synced. All acts had to have live vocals or they couldn’t perform. This is why Milli Vanilli was never allowed to perform. Music could be recorded but vocals had to be live.
I remember buying this cd and couldn't stop playing it.
One of the best lyrical rappers of all time
I can't believe how fast time flies, This was 1989. It's 2018 and I'm still listing.👍👍👍👍
Damn, he spittin pure fire 🔥
I remember watching this! Kool KILLED IT!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He sure did!!!
Kool moe dee is still the best out there in 2021
We're lucky got to see the golden age
And that song still goes hard
Omg...one of my favorite rap songs ever and it is like the original track to a T. What a talent to rap this song. So fast, so filled with words and not one slip up. Well done KMD!
Flawless Performance!!!
I was 21 during this performance. Also the year my dad passed away. Glad he got to see me graduate and made something of myself. I started my new job and every morning I had to go to work...
That outfit rocks hard....
Probably tailored right in Harlem.
Love this since EVER! I was 18 when this song dropped. Ever single rapper today really has a thing to learn. Moe DEE gave complete sentences and Full thought concepts. Not like nowadays half sentence and fractured concepts. MOE DEE ! bring it back!

Crecia Bonner real shit, I don’t know how anyone could sit through this song! I still try to do my old routine when I hear this, lol!
One of the most underrated MCs
An era long forgotten :(
Kool Moe Dee is the pioneer of flow
So dope
YOU CAN TAKE ME BACK TO DEES DAYS ANYTIME.
What a lame crowd. He killed it, and there were like 5 people standing.
Tru dat
They all liked it tho
@@Arjay82 I was raised in Mulino, Oregon during the Arsenio years. It was hard to relate to friends. White people aren’t bad people.
Ahhh the 80's there's nothing like it😎💯
I remember this song like it was yesterday.
One of the greatest lyrical performers of all times
#IGOTOWORK! I can still dance my butt off to this at 56!
I doubt that

Man 1989 was a great year in so many ways!
HIP HOP---THIS IS WHAT IT USED TO BE. This is what I grew up on.
Martini and Rossi . That's so Kool!
KMD, brings me back to the night I watched this on Arsenio! This song and Wild, Wild , West have been on my playlist ever since. I’m 58 now. And Caucasian, lol
HE is REAL MUSIC!! OG, OLD SCHOOL NEVER be like this again..

CLASSIC HIP HOP AT IT'S FINEST 😊😊😊😊🎉
perfect song today for .. "i go to vote!" (smiles)
Hit up the record store the next day.
Put all those mumvle rappers to shame. Thats how you rap....
I miss the old music.
He was rockin a fez on Arsenio!
He was Reppin The Knowledge,Wisdom and Understanding.
he's the best I would love to see him battle lil wayne and make lil wayne cry
Two turntables and a microphone
This is how you entertain a crowd.❤
Dawg killed it!
I saw this live...first time I had heard this song. Moe Dee was greatness. And the comment below is right--he regularly put a beat down on LL.
A dog who really goes to WORK!
It’s ARSENIOOOOOO HALL!💪🏾❤️❤️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Let's
Go to work.
“Renovate, build another one...I go to work!”
2022?
Kool Moe Dee was so underrated as a MC🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Epic! 👽👍
Straight 🔥🔥
renovate build another one
He did that, very seldom do you hear an artist who sounds that good live!!!!
Amazing
He "go to work"!!!!
I long for the times when the world hallucinated with New York... Knowledge is the lost pillar of hip-hop.
この曲を当時、日本のテレビプログラムの
MTV japanという放送してまして

You mean The God Inspectah Deck reminds you of Moe Dee!!
Moe Dee was dope...But him dancing was BWHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Only Kane and MC Search killed it dancing.
lmao
That DJ is doing nothing.
That's funny...
The 80s really did suck I'm sorry. Whatever. Arsenio
But I wish I was black
Apparently I used Moe Dee's pipe cause this shit is wack!
Jose Peralta. This is real hip hop
I saw this live.
KMD ripped this performance up.
