“Two years ago a friend of mine asked me to say some emcee rhymes
So I said this rhyme I’m about to say, the rhyme was def and it went this way:
Took a test to become an emcee, and Orange Krush became amazed at me
So Larry put me inside his Cadillac, the chauffeur drove off and we never came back
Dave cut the record down to the bone, and now they got me rockin on the microphone…”
“You’re a five dollar boy and I’m a million dollar man
You’re a sucker emcee and you’re my fan
You try to bite rhymes, all lines are mine, you’re a sucker emcee in a pair of Calvin Kleins
Coming from the wackest part of town, trying to rap but you can’t get down
You don’t even know your English, your verbs or noun
You’re just a sucker emcee, you sad faced clown…”

And with that verse and that 12″ single- “It’s Like That b/w Sucker M.C.’s”- the era of the old school rapper came to a close.

Of course Run DMC are usually considered old school by today’s terms, but in 1983 when that single was released it
