Mohandas Dewese (born August 8, 1962), better known as Kool Moe Dee, is an American hip hop MC prominent in the late 1970s through the early 1990s. He was one of the first rappers to earn a Grammy Award and was the first rapper to perform at the Grammys.
Dewese was born in Manhattan, New York City. He attended Norman Thomas High School on 33rd and Park Avenue in New York City. He had a reputation for being a quiet eccentric young man, frequently holding a pen and paper to write his rhymes.
In the late 1970s, Kool Moe Dee met Special K, DJ Easy Lee, and LA Sunshine to form the influential old school hip hop group the Treacherous Three on Enjoy Records. It was with The Treacherous Three in 1981 that Kool Moe Dee performed his freestyle onstage roast of old school party rapper Busy Bee Starski, a performance frequently cited as a pivotal moment in the development of the battle rap. In 1981, they moved to Sugar Hill Records along with another Enjoy Records act Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. The Treacherous Three became well known for their singles "Feel the Heart Beat" and "Whip It". They were featured in the 1984 breakdance movie Beat Street, performing the song "Xmas Rap" with Doug E. Fresh but disbanded shortly afterwards.
James Todd Smith (born January 14, 1968), better known as LL Cool J (an abbreviation for Ladies Love Cool James), is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and actor from Bay Shore, New York. He is known for romantic ballads such as "I Need Love", "Around the Way Girl" and "Hey Lover" as well as pioneering hip-hop such as "I Can't Live Without My Radio", "I'm Bad", "The Boomin' System", and "Mama Said Knock You Out". He has released thirteen studio albums and two greatest hits compilations, including 2008's Exit 13, the last for his record deal with Def Jam Recordings. He has also appeared in numerous films, and currently stars as NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna on the CBS crime drama television series NCIS: Los Angeles.
As he grew older, Smith found a way to escape the effects of his abuse, and his bullying attitude: hip-hop music. He fell in love with it at the age of nine, and by 11 he was writing lyrics and making his own songs with some DJ equipment his grandmother gave him to stop him riding motorcycles or doing karate. Before too long, LL was an established member of the Hip-Hop community in his area. He gained notoriety through his many rap battles against well-established MCs, including the battle against Chicken and Porn that rocketed him to fame.
Antonio Hardy (born September 10, 1968) better known by his stage name Big Daddy Kane, is a Grammy Award-winning American rapper who started his career in 1986 as a member of the rap group the Juice Crew. He is widely considered to be one of the most influential and skilled MCs in Hip Hop. Regarding the name Big Daddy Kane, he said: "The Big Daddy part and the Kane part came from two different things. The Kane part came from my fascination with the martial arts flicks when I was young. The Big Daddy came from something that happened on a ski trip one time involving a young lady."
In 1984, Kane became friends with Biz Markie, and he would co-write some of Biz's best-known lyrics. Both eventually became important members of the Queens-based Juice Crew, a collective headed by renowned producer Marley Marl. Kane signed with Marl's Cold Chillin' Records label in 1987 and debuted the following year with the 12" single "Raw," an underground hit. Kane is known for his ability to syncopate over faster hip hop beats, and despite his asthmatic condition he is acknowledged as one of the pioneering masters of fast-rap. His sense of style is renowned and set a number of late-1980s and early-1990s hip hop trends (high-top fades, velour suits, and four-finger rings). The backronym "King Asiatic Nobody's Equal" is often applied to his moniker.

Sexy, sexy, that's what it is
The body of a goddess makes it hard to resist
It's animal instict, I'm physically attracted
Somethin like a magnet, I got to have it
Move, make a move, anxiety's too
Intense and I'm tense and I gotta be smooth
I analyze her angles but how many times
Have brothers have stepped to you with conventional lines
Like "Glad that we met," "Don't I know ya, don't I know ya?"
Some brothers might win, and others might blow ya
Her kiss from an open fist, what a bliss
But I think hard cause I don't wannna miss
Cause this ain't a game and it ain't no joke
You got my heart in flames and I can choke on the smoke
The te-, the temperature's risin but I still get chills
You got me floatin on air as the body heat builds

Lookin for the love light, searchin, searchin
For the right words, cause lady, you deserve
Poetry in motion, words that serve
A purpose, have meaning, stimulate, intrigue
Knock you off senses ( ? )
I gotta connect, I'm comin correct
I can feel the effect, no disrespect, I got next
Time to meditate cause I can feel the vibes
You gotta be a queen from one of the tribes
Bubbly brown sugar, sexy chocolate
Taste of honey, when I see ya I get
A sweet tooth, I could get tooth decay
Like a kid with candy I'll be eatin all day
Subliminal thoughts are fought as I walk and stalk
And hawk and talk ( ? )

Am I awake or is this just a nice dream?
Am I asleep, walkin, talkin in a hype scene?
Is this a movie and who's the star?
Is this the beginning or the coup de grace?
Is this the beginning of the rest of my life
Or is it just another hot one-night wife?
The closer I get, the harder I sweat
The harder I sweat, the harder I get
So I shift gears into auto-Kool
Go to cruise control and let the auto rule
She kicked her name, I picked her brain
She kicked the game, I kicked the same
Back and forth, forth and back, around and round until the flames
Burn out of control and the truth seeps through
Freaky, I wanna see you
Stop with all the rhetoric, the heat is on, so let us get
The tension relieved, anxiety ceased, I want a piece of

It's like a million chocolate candy bars, chocolate kiss
But you go better with nut, so put me into your mix
I make it chunky but funky, a chocolate kiss with a twist
Cause I'm addicted like a junk food junkie, honey's my fix
Since I'm Kool as ice cream maybe one day
I make your love come down and make a sundae
For breakfast, lunch or dinner you're a tasty treat
Too much dessert can't hurt, come taste and eat
Freak freak y'all, to the beat y'all
I'm droppin on honey like free fall
Happy as a kid inside a candy shop
I like ( ? ) on a stick and make a candy pop
And see how many licks it takes to get the center
Of a tootsie roll, tootsie hole when the

And I come hard with the raps, so let's get the rapper off
