his "dissed" him were "How Ya Like Me Now" and "Let's Go" (which is
featured on the Nightmare on Elm Street 5 and Boyz 'N Tha Hood
soundtracks).
Influential old-school rapper.
Participated in the first "battle rap" of all time in 1982 at The

verbally attacked Busy Bee.
Author of the book "There's a God on the Mic", (which he also based his
documentary of the same name). It lists, in his opinion, the fifty
greatest hip-hop artists of all time, the top three being Tupac Shakur,
Rakim, and Grandmaster Melle Mel.
