You're better off talking bout your wack Puma sneaker. You'd better change what comes out your speaker. What's the matter with your DJ, MC Shan? On the wheels of steel Marlon sucks. There was nothing else to talk about."īest diss: “What's the matter with your MC, Marley Marl? Don't know you know that he's out of touch. But man, when that 'Bridge Is Over' came out, that was it. They probably would have to have someone else at the time go a little harder. Shan was good, but in my opinion - not to take anything away from him - I don’t think he could stand up to KRS-One. KRS-One was probably one of the greatest lyricists at that time. And after the 'Beat Biter' record came ' Bridge Is Over.' And that was it. MC Shan came back with the ' Beat Biter' record. Right now they’re being technical, but KRS-One and ‘em came with that ' South Bronx' record. Slay: "Queensbridge had put out the record called ' The Bridge,' and they were talking about how hip-hop started out there to a degree. I'm just the devastatin', always rockin', always have the n***** clockin'.” - Roxanne Shante (“Roxanne’s Revenge”) Steve Eichner/WireImage/Getty ImagesĪfter MC Shan and Marley Marl released “The Bridge,” in which Shan boasted about hip-hop in Queens, a young KRS-One sent a few warning shots with “South Bronx.” What ensued afterward is one of the best battles of lyricism and borough pride in hip-hop history. Never respect a biter."īest diss: “You're walkin' down the block, holdin' your jock, but everybody knows that you're all on my yacht. I think that pushed people more toward Roxanne Shante’s side. The other chick looked good, but I don’t think she was respected because it was like she was biting Roxanne Shante. She was more of a hip-hop figure than the other chick. Slay: "I think Roxanne Shante was better than The Real Roxanne, technically. To even the score, the crew found its own first lady, The Real Roxanne, to go head-to-head with Shante on numerous diss tracks. In response to UTFO’s hit “ Roxanne, Roxanne ,” about a woman unresponsive to the group’s advances, fans and artists alike made dozens of comeback records defending “Roxanne.” The hardest of them all was Roxanne Shante’s “ Roxanne’s Revenge ,” in which she slaughters UTFO’s members one by one. And you can’t win no real MC contest.” - Kool Moe DeeĢ. That real hip-hop vibe."īest diss: “You’re not number one. It was just straight, I’m better than you, and this is how I display my talent on the microphone. "The energy back then was like - it wasn’t no beef, no anger, it wasn’t like, I’m gonna kill you. But that wasn’t gonna stop Busy Bee to do an event because what he lost from is not what he does. This was Busy Bee: 'Put ya hands in the air, let me hear you say oh yeah!' He was a crowd-motivated rocker. At the end of the day, he wasn’t a lyricist. Why embarrass yourself even more? Give him his props and go about your business. ![]() His reply was, 'And this is why I’m on Kool Moe Dee dick y’all.' I just knew there weren’t no wins comin’ from Busy. ![]() Busy Bee didn’t even come back on after him. ![]() And Kool Moe Dee grabbed the mic and just let off a lyrical assault that left no response. Busy Bee walked in talking ‘bout how he was gonna win the money and everything. It was a $1,000 competition and everybody was trying to win it. ![]() In the fight for bragging rights and cash, Kool Moe Dee proved that if you can’t handle the heat, drop the mic.ĭJ Kay Slay : "It happened at Harlem World, 116th and Lenox Ave. Before lyricists took their skills to the studio, they took it to the streets.
