Okay my friend, lol, I'm going to let you slide with that adult comment, okay?
So, Kool Moe Dee was considered to be an artist or mc, good to know. Now the question is was Moe Dee real, or did he come along for the paycheck?
Only KMD can answer that
Peace In,
Clyde, you must understand relevancy. After all I'm assuming your an adult. You'd have to be if you remember Kool Moe Dee. You like him. Wonderful. But if he put an album out Tuesday only you and his mama would buy it. Why? Because people who listen to popular/current music run trends.
Now if your question is what is the difference between hip hop and rap? Rap is a name given by non fans to describe the genre. It's an uncool term. Hip hop is what the artists call the genre. And the artists are artists or mcs.... Not hip hoppers.
