KOOL MOE DEE Do You Know What Time it Is LIVE 1988

"Put that bomb-digging-bomb-bulls**t on hold" - Kool Moe
Return of the Boombap's Interview with Kool Moe Dee breaks down Bee vs Kool Moe Dee, LL Cool J vs KMD battle
Kool Moe, was the 1st complicated Metaphysical MC, he was one of the few Block Party Rappers to take the original B-Boy style, and translate it to Gold & Platinum Plaques, bringing battle styles, Positive messages and "Knowledge, Wisdom & Understanding" to his Lyrics. Deeply involved in the early careers of Bronx MC KRS One, his group B.D.P., and the "Stop The Violence" Movement, and although Kool Moe Dee (alongside West Coast O.G. Ice-T), was involved in high profile battles with LL Cool J, was a defining force linking the Old School and the New School. “For me, I don’t play into that,” explained the rapper. “We let the nuance dictate to the essence [where] up is down; down is up. Who spread the memo around the ’hood that being dumb was cool? That’s part of the reason I named myself ‘Kool’ — how is it intelligence, doing your homework and knowing your lessons not be cool?” - Kool Moe Dee fromHERE

Album "Funke Funke Wisdom" 1991
"Each One Teach One" Chuck D This video is an example of his attempt to unify the Foundation Block Party Artists like Whodini, Doug E Fresh, with the newer School Artists, Run DMC, Tribe Called Quest, Red Head King Pin, Grand Daddy I.U., D-Nice
"Holdin' my mic like the staff of Ra, Brining true light after dark" - KMD
Many of his hit records were produced by Teddy Riley, an upcoming Super Producer credited by many of creating the fast New Jack Swing R&B style genre. At the time it was a wise choice, as the Producer was an untouchable hit maker, but unfortunately as the new school harder Production style of The 45 King, Marley Marl, Herb Luv Bug etc, would dictate the future of Hip-Hop, too many younger listeners, Kool Moe's commercial production choices sounded too dated and pop orientated.

"S, British and Israeli drones have killed hundreds of innocent civilians in Pakistan, Somalia, Yeman, Afghanistan and Gaza. These pilot-less killing machines are fuelling anger and terrorism around the world, endangering us all, and are paving the way for a future in which robots make "decisions" to kill with no human oversight. Next month, campaigners from around the UK will be taking part in a week of action to oppose the growing menace of drone warfare." - http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2012/09/500281.html Events include a week-long peace walk from Shenstone to RAF Waddington (http://tinyurl.com/dronespeacewalk) and a 100-mile bike ride from Fylingdales to Menwith Hill, organised by Yorkshire CND (see www.yorkshirecnd.org.uk).
