On the other hand, Kool Moe Dee, a member of the pioneering Hip Hop group Treacherous Three, was legendary in the rap game for his lethal rhyming skills designed to crush competition. Unlike Busy Bee, who was more focused on rocking the crowd. Moe Dee wrote poetic rhymes. The rap battle was shaping up to be a battle between the old school party rocker vs. the new school lyrical Emcee. So, back to Harlem World in 1981. Busy Bee was performing his usual routine – rocking the crowd, getting everyone hyped and talking trash while calling out names. One of the names he called out – Kool Moe Dee – was standing right there in the venue, and he wasn’t going to let him slide for that diss. Once Busy Bee was done with his set, Kool Moe Dee hopped on to the stage and tore into Busy Bee with a devastating rhyme performance.

The single moment that revolutionized Hip Hop and transformed the artform from party- raps to emceeing is Kool Moe Dee’s legendary battle against Busy Bee Starski at Harlem World on December 1, 1981. Busy Bee Starski was an old school rapper who came up on the scene during the late ’70s along with the likes of Melle Mel, Afrika Bambaataa, and Kool DJ AJ. He was known for his comedic, party-rocking routines that he would use to win rap battles.
Golden Age Hip Hop is a name given to mainstream hip hop music created from the mid 1980s to the early and mid 1990s, particularly by artists and musicians originating from the New York metropolitan area. However, this quickly spread to the Southeast, Midwest, and West Coast. The Golden Age Hip Hop scene was sparked by great music from all over the U.S. with their own regional sounds. NEBA seeks to recreate regional sounds through live & virtual battle rap competitions
