Lyrics....thats what these cats represented . Long before every emcee was concerned with metaphors and punchlines Kool Moe Dee , L.A. Sunshine and Spoonie Gee were making these a part of their rhymes and routines . In the late 70s Spoonie Gee pursued a solo career and Special K ( T la Rocks brother) joined . Dj Easy Lee held down the wheels. Most crews had a front man , or a lyrical standout....but all 3 of these kids were nice lyrically . In 1980 they dropped "At The Party" on Enjoy records and followed up with "New Rap Language"/ " Love Rap " with Spoonie Gee . The New Rap Language was a special record . As usual the T3 bought a new style to the table . The rapid delivery style that many adapted throughout the 80s ( Rakim , T la Rock , LL Cool J , Big Daddy Kane etc ) was born on this record.
Later came a cover of Tanya Gardners " Heartbeat " which blew up , and was Moe Dees favorite T3 song. There was also " Body Rock " which was actually the first song to merge rock and Hip Hop - NOT Run Dmcs Rock Box . They also released " Boogie In Your Body " on Enjoy. T3 later signed to Sugarhill Records and released " Whip It " , " We Can Can " , "Action " , " Turning You On " and " Gotta Rock " - their best work ever . Gotta Rock...released in ' 85 was an attack on the new school emerging that year..." You make fresh records but you still cant rap "....proclaimed Moe Dee . There was also a show called Grafitti Rock...a sort of Hip Hop Soul Train , where Moe Dee and Special K murdered Run and Din a battle. The Moe Dee solo career was born due to the flip side of Gotta Rock which was " Turn It Up " . Moe Dees well documented solo career and battles with LL lasted for the first half of the 90s. The T3 released the lp ..." Old School Flava " on Easy Lee Records in ' 94 and they also performed on the Raiders of the lost art lp. ......legends indeed

We are all winners and sinners, the balance is now, The key is gratitude. No fear,no keeps.
My name is nowtheledge. I am on a mission to bring forth the untelivised revolution. I am not here to preach I am here to bring forth truth. I have a lot of information on my page with more to come. I am looking for support. I am aware of the influence we have through music and the media. I am just asking for you to read my page and be opened minded when you read and pass on the message.
We in the streets we must change, we are the ones dying young and old. It's nothing new. Blue and Red make Purple, right now it is controlled by white. We must save our own. Those two colors are the color of Royalty. We were kings and queens but the division has made us enemies. We are killing our own for the system.
We must stop this before it is too late. They have cameras everywhere, we could have used that money in the hood. We could have used that for education. BUt we cannot let them teach us. We must have more than BET. We support that. When will the next level come? The revolution begins with us and not through violence, But through KNowledge.
