He's such a great emcee that even his hair looks like a microphone.
Cheddar323 Ha! Facts😄
Lmao
Damn sure do!!!
😂😂😂😂
That's a shot bro...... you better chill
I love how humble he is. Is humility something that still exists? I wish we had more humble people around. BDK gets mad respect.
I have no idea how anyone who is into hip hop...even anyone who is NOT into hip hop could disrespect Kane.The man had lyrics, presentation (the suits), AND don't forget that he was dancing on his videos too! He was killing it back in his day, and even now his stuff still sounds good.... LOL whatever though....only 10 thumbs down and 1,000+ thumbs up tells me that people know the deal. I have so much respect for this man's music!
Big Daddy Kane was my favorite rapper. He didn't started dancing into later in his videos because originally he was too cool to dance. Then he started dancing and he couldn't really dance but he tried. I hated when he started dancing but he was still the man.
"Competitive, but not a contact sport...it's just music." BDK putting this in perspective!! 11 to the 7
True!
DJFreedom Justice boy ain't nobody else could have put it no better he hit it back on point it wasn't a contact sport
I think the difference also is that back then, they were actually mcs who cared about the sport of hip hop.The d boys stuck to dope selling, jack boys stuck to jacking etc...nowadays , hip hop is filed with everyone but mcs.Not to say there are not any mcs but to say that the d boys , jackers etc look at hip hop now as a hustle and not a sport/culture.They bring in a whole different mentality to the game.A street cat outside the game will be a street cat in the game, usually.Blood outside the game , will bring it inside the game ,etc..They dont really know and/or respect the culture or meaning of hip hop.They treating it like a trap or a spot.When outsiders come in ur trap, usually u handle it with violence some of the rappers today look at it like that, in my opinion
***** thanx..
Exactly.
Facts
Word up I agree
that's exactly what it is
BDK's barber uses clippers from the Heavens
+Deuce Caliber lol!
Kane has a clean cut 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 Perfection!
I noticed.
Awesome reply
This dude deserves respect.. Listen to his album "looks like a job for big daddy kane" That shit was ahead of its time,, By about 6 years in my opinion. he was a major influence in the 92-98 period.
He was a major influence even before that. That was his 5th album
Looks Like A Job For was a damn great album that was not appreciated the way it should have been.....his reason for doing that album ...well he said it in the intro....
you wanna know the meaning of hardcore.....looks like a job for....
the problem is that many was looking for that west coast sound plus the New York sound was changing...in my opinion that album was not ahead of its time.....it was a few years late and probably should have replaced Prince of Darkness a few years earlier.....it was a superior album to both Prince of Darkness and Taste of Chocolate...he should have just combined those two into a double album in 1990 then released that album in 1991.....i do believe though that his window is still open to a new album........i would get it opening day
Facts!
Yeah his first two Album's I had on Cassette along with Biz Markie Dana Dane Slick Rick EPMD Stetsasonic Mc Shan Marley Marl BDP Roxanne Shsnte Mc Lyte Audio Two all them was Poppin and more
How you get a record deal, was the beginning of the separation of real hip hop and this R&B (rap and bullshit) crap we've had since, with few exemptions of course.
kane a tru hip hop legend... madd props
Facts!
Long live to the Kane album still sounds Fresh
Most rappers today fear them while I still give them. Kane was one of my teachers. One of the greats for sure.
Is this the real Rebel XD?!
The biggie and tupac "beef" was over hyped by the media, there wasn't no east/west coast beef
***** yeah redman and method man even appeared on all eyez on me. "got my mind made up", very underrated track from one of the greatest albums ever made of any genre. the media blew up pac vs big into east vs west, but it also didn't help when snoop went off the rails at i think the BET award show and started screaming at the crowd when he got booed "we don't give a fuck about y'all, we know where we at we know y'all east coast"
Not to mention that tupac is technically an east coast rapper hisself, he was born in New York and went to school in Baltimore so I doubt he would've had any real kind of beef with the entire east coast, he just had a problem with biggie and anyone talking shit about him in biggies behalf
juniortim33 exactly
JustinBlazzzee It was at the source awards and it was suge who started everything by throwing shots at Diddy. So snoop being young and loyal to his boss n company followed suit.
Thank you! Been trying to tell jits for years...
Hip hop Education right here; these young boys need to listen, learn and educate themselves. People are quick to die over pointlessness but slow to sign up and fight for their nation. If violence is in your heart that much; go fight in a war. Not over some BS
Actually, the first time I remember rhymes turning violently aggressive was when NWA started breaking down, and they went after each other. This was years before BIG and Pac's beef.
+Dominic Campbell ye but even when they went at each other, off the record they were fine
real legend, real entertainer, real wise and real REAL...long live the Kane.
Big Daddy Kane is telling the truth,about these loud mouth rappers & gangsta rappers too,
Facts 💯
I appreciate his honesty and how he gives credit to other artist. He is still a smooth operator.
THIS A RAP GOD
For me Big Daddy Kane set the standard for what I should expect from an MC. Always been in my top 5.
Preach Kane these young rappers don't want to battle it out anymore they just wanna call someone to try to kill whoever disses them on the track and you made some good points kids don't want to get their ass whupped so they pull out guns instead of fighting it out like a real man
Even with the way that fight happened I still don't feel sorry for him when people think about Math they think about him punching rappers
I'm glad he mentioned electronic music and hip hop being together. Ever since the electro craze in the 80s, hip house and Eurodance in the 90s, hip hop and dance music have been consistently mixed with each other. Hell, because most hip hop is made with electronics, it's technically electronic music.
lol ikr XD
not really lmao
King Psyche
It's literally made with computers. There are exceptions, but they aren't that common. The Roots are a great example of the latter.

This is one of the best interviews on hip-hop that I've seen in a while. Wish he made videos that had this much depth more often. Appreciate it.
One of the realest hip hop lessons I heard in awhile. The last time was from KRS.
KEEP THESE COMING VLAD
Teach, BDK. Teach.
one word..."LEGEND"
True wisdom in a nut shell. Hip Hop is a sample based art form that borrowed pieces from everything to create an identity. A musical collage.Once the record industry saw the potential revenue, they attacked with sample clearance and copyright infringements. This is why Boom Bap is missing in todays production.
tochiRTA very sad ,because also when you really check it out,hiphop -via- sampling and hihop on a whole is a new form of traditionism its an abstract form of tradition -passing on the torch etc… there for should be respected as such even through Law
tochiRTA Well ,no I don't think its sad. I am a fan of many current producers. I love Trap beats. I love how no matter what tech comes out Hip Hop finds a way to hack it to make sounds and sequences that resonates within the Culture. I love the fact that they called our culture a fad and we constantly re invent it so that now it is a global movement. Plus when I want to get nostalgic what im longing to hear has already been recorded. Its a win for everyone.
I get where you coming from about the basic grove. But that bass drop is undeniable. Sneaking up on you when you least expect it. However I love all hip hop for what it is. May not be a fan of all lyricist or lyrical content. But just the fact of the culture being 41 years old and has taken the World is Awesome to me. I am happy to be a part of it.,
tochiRTA LOL. BAck to my Smiff n Weson and DJ Quick
Boom bap is not in today's production because hip hop evolved. We weren't gonna do the same old for shit for 20-30 years. music evolves with technology which advances by the day. Just accept its no longer the 90's.
Got to see Kane at the 94.5 Boom concert last summer and glad he came man flow still sharp and precise as ever! Made me feel great to see real rap still alive and thriving.
Big daddy kane is truly one of the best! !!!!
Kane is showing why his rhymes were so dope back in the day. This is a very intelligent brutha right here. Need more Kane interviews ASAP !!@@!@
TollFree999 Oh yes we do!!! I would sit back with a bag of popcorn and a tall soda and enjoy the live show.

Sade was singing about Kane? 🤔
😮
Speak on it Kane!!! I loved that old competitive rap!!! I don't know what's going on with these new rappers!
Dang, he was rocking in the 80's, today he's soon in his 50's and he's still looking good!!! No crow feet, no white hair! All legends like him should stay in that shape!
Rappers stepping to me, they wanna get some, but I'm the Kane so yo, you know the outcome!! #thelegend
Nothing but respect flowed through my computer screen when he was talking. One of the greats. A Legend
Speak on it, Kane.
I like dude's humility. He could have easily ran with Vlad's impression that he was the first to merge Hip Hop and R&B...but he acknowledged those that preceded him...which is smart because, as an example, LL dropped 'I Need Love' before Kane dropped anything.
Plus, he is right about the fear among emcees to take verbal ass whippings nowadays...and that has a lot to do with the fact that the majority of MAINSTREAM COMMERCIAL emcees in heavy radio rotation nowadays can't see emcees like Kane.
Kane never changed ..same smooth dude .... keeps it movin'!
I don't like people saying shit like "the tupac and biggie beef ended up having a horrible ending". We still don't know for sure who killed those two brothers.
Either side
Wordz of wisdom from the all-mighty Kane. Much Respect.
I remember Ain't No Half Steppin + the video. I'm going back down memory lane.
Damn that fro is immaculate
Spoken like a true OG
I love the history lesson being given here. Imagine when these guys die, truth can be buried with them.
Sad, but true. I have a 6 yr old. When I bought her an iPod I made sure that she had good old school hip hop like LL, Heavy D, KRS, etc. in there too. Now she knows their songs too. Teach the kids now and it'll live on properly.
I like how he detailed how R&B always been with hip hop. Amongst newer cats its always conflict about that. Well folks here you have it.
Damian Cooper GOOD IMA DO THAT TO MA LIL BROTHA
I could never pick a favorite between Kane and Rakim. Both were lyrically ahead of their time. Peace to the Gods.
Wise words from the ol' veteran. #LongLiveTheKane
Kane got me through my junior and senior year in H.S. back in 1988 and 1989. My 1st introduction to his musc was "Set it off" . Lyrically blew my mind 🤯. Dude was just too smooth
Big Daddy Kane!!!! One of the most ICONIC rappers of all time!!!! Your smooth style will never be duplicated !!!! God bless you man!!!!!
Love hearing the old school talk!
"This generations afraid of getting there ass whooped" Exactly. got a problem use your fist not weapons.
Jordan Karavasilis stfu u old bitch
Facts right here. Verbal ass whippin's. Catz are scared and that's what's messed up Hip Hop and lyricism as a whole. Steel sharpens steel... those verbal ass whippin's make for better MC's. I remember back in the Bronx in the late 80's, early 90's standing and listening to the cyphers on the block, I used to witness verbal assault!! But it never got violent. Catz took their lumps, came back and got better. And I'm a R&B dude. If someone sounds better, you practice. These days there's competition. So collectively, 90% of rappers these days are horrible.
This is exactly why battle rap is the only real hip hop. It's very rare to see them actually throw hands because someone talking a "verbal ass whippin" is expected.
Jermaine Percell Facts bro!! Again, I'm a singer, but I truly respect a good lyricist!! Take that verbal assault and just keep gettin' better.
TollFree999 Exactly. Instead of going back to the drawing board and getting better, they'd rather take the low road and project the negativity outside of themselves. If you're wack, you're wack until you're not wack anymore! There's none of that today.
What ever happen to rap
all theses niggaz sound like zapp .
krs1 don't hold back
what are they
just wick wick wack .
the bay OAKLAND C.A.
WESTCOAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!
NIKO SANCHEZ All down through the years, KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane along with LL Cool J, Kool Moe Dee and Rakim stand out far from the rest as being my all-time favorites.
goddamn im from holland but id fly over to the us to get my hair done where this nigga gets his... that hairline and contour os so fucking on point i dont even look at the rest
Hahah echt he
Lmfao
He's so humble. Legend
Real talk Kane, thanks for your input
This dude should replace Isaac Hayes as Chef.
tlig yeah as Chef’s brother Cook
Well put
Perfect lyrics, perfect vibe, perfect hair, this is the man! Big daddy Kane fool!
Interview more hiphop legends Vlad. This was an eye opener foreal.
we need more og's like big daddy kane that speak that real shit
Ok I'm convinced Vlad dont know shit about hip hop
Vlad is just cringe... Everything about him.
This was a very interesting interview.
He was a big name and badass songs back in the day on the West coast here in cali. Visiting NY last month and the Hip Hop tour in the Bronx, it all makes sense. This man is very humble and a great musician.
He made a really good point there. How can you criticize R&B being in hip hop when it's a huge part of it's origin? At the same time I think a lot of that criticism came from a time when hip hop and rap were pretty hard or masculine overall so a lot of dudes wanted it to stay that way. But that's missing basically the entirety of the ladies market which is missing a lot of money for nothing really. It's cool to see him breaking it down. Dude is a legend.
BDK is a BOSS, fuck what any bad mind people have to say.Check out his songs...guy is lyrical genius
Legend !
I am glad,that I finally tuned in to this vid. I was skipping over the video for over a yr now. Just so happen that it played because I was playing music. After a while I sat my machine down,and got business,but I heard the voice and it sounded very intelligent oh that's B.D.K ok.. today 4/3/18 I listened
Absolutely true what KANE is saying about the origins. That's why I say that HipHop is bigger than Rock, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Funk, Disco all the music HipHop is bigger. Why? Because HipHop is all the music.
And further spanked VLAD on the comment about why "Prince Of Darkness" was too R&B and artists who went that way suffering. His response is the same one I have always given: because hip-hop comes from ALL forms of music. If you have to ask someone where it came from musically you can't give ONE answer...because hip-hop is everything. As KRS One has always said "I am Hip-Hop."
Keep to myself never bother another/ but if a rapper try to diss/ I'll crush the muthafucka B.D.K. MORTAL COMBAT
that was one of those "OOOOOH" lines back then. I don't even blink when i listen to that song now. It's still dope overall though
i ain't gone complain though cause a lot of our faves from that era still put out music. time moves on and just like our folks didn't get Kane we don't get Young Thug. It simply won't resonate with us being older and wiser now. That hip hop we loved was a trickle down of civil rights era thinking and community and all that. we were lucky to have experienced it. let's celebrate guys like Kane still being able to be heard
mayonaze2g I've been telling people that for years. it was a continuation of the civil rights movement.
mayonaze2g Right on, Mayonaze. You said a mouthful.
One of, if not, the GREATEST!
Real shit..well articulated
This is the most humble black dude on the planet!!
Good one Vlad! Now go back and get the real history from the pioneers. I wanna see more of this.
Kane is probably the most underrated rapper ever
They should change the name of the Genre of today.... they should call it "Techno Hop" cuz most of the shit i'm hearing sounds like 2 Robots having sex on a dishwasher LOL.... it was Hip Hop then, I don't know what to call this shit now .... & I'm talking MAINSTEAM!!!!
JustinBlazzzee drake, wiz, cheif, i call that RAP!!! hip hop is the lyrical original shit! dj premier says it perfectly "it's the real!!! hip hop!! hip hop!!"
J Angel u call drake wiz and chief keef rap? lol shit……. thats almost disrespectful to the word "rap". anything my girl and all her girls bump, is not rap. rap to me is real, gritty and raw. hip hop is dope shit that doesn't have to be gritty, like tribe. wu tang is rap. drake, wiz khalifa, 2 chainz, not so much. that shit is corny ass pop music with basic lyrics strewn about
i do agree its pop bullshit crap... but as far as i can remember we used to call that shit hip hop back in those days. gritty or not. kool g rap was raw and gritty and i considered him hip hop. wu tang, hip hop. onyx... all that.
JustinBlazzzee Yessssssss!!!!!!!
yo lame ass
I like how he subtly said “it was competitive but not a contact sport you dig” too smooth
More videos like this please! I'd love to hear history from some of the greats and the forgotten artists of the 70's, 80's and 90's... Kool Moe Dee, KRS, Chuck D, Whodini, Special Ed, DJ Quik, Chubb Rock, MC Serch, MC Ren, etc... That could for some interesting stories...
And back to the "Prince Of Darkness" era... That was actually a very dope album, but more people wanted to hear the West Coast version of things at that time. In that era, you saw legends like BDK, Doug E Fresh and Kool Moe Dee drop albums with dope singles but lower sales than normal... However that same year NWA dropped Niggaz4Life and had the #1 album in the country with no radio hits... DJ Quik nearly went platinum that year also... Naughty By Nature outta Jersey had monster hits and a platinum album that year... It was like a changing of the guard in 91-92 as far as popularity and sales go
I had the high top fade with the bridge in the front like Kane in 91 , 92 era I’m like 14 15 at the time . He had the swag you wanted to emulate as a youngster. No lie I seen a uniformed Chicago police lady get into a limo with Kane. Five minutes later the limo was rocking , South side of Chicago in 91. Facts
Good shit
Kane's humility adds to his greatness! He could talk so much shit cuz he been there and done that 10x over and he don't. Salute to a real OG!
Love Big Daddy Kane...believe it or not, I would listen to BDK, Eric B. and Rakim, BDP back in the 80's and I would memorize the songs, and I believe to this day it helped me remember stuff in school. It really kept your memory sharp.
Kane was the shiii class from the start..thanks kane for showing the world rappers got class too
Hair so clean, Kane look like an animation.
LEGENDARY!
One of the greatest Rappers in Hip Hop History ....Long Live Kane !!
He is still in my top5 as far as the greatest' He is a true 'role model'!
The "you know" meter is of the chart !
Wise words.."....competitive, just not a contact sport."
The first ever official Rap/R&B song ever made was "Friends" by Jody Watley/Eric B & Rakim.
Long Live the KANE!
Rap/R&B calibration that is.
Demorio Williams Chaka Kahn and Grandmaster Melle Mel "I Feel for you" 1984. Was the first rapper/r&b collab fam.
Ronald Austin Good call
Ronald Austin Aye that was a great song and a classic as well but "I feel for you" was originally done by price and Melly Mell only did the hook on it which came from the song Step Off by (him) Grand Master Flash and the furious 5. Friends was a original song and Rakim actually had a verse and he was in the video, so that's why I said first "official" collaboration. But it's true that "I feel for you" was the first to embrace Rap/Hip-hop.
Didn't Heavy D and Al B Sure come out before friends and Al B Sure and Slick Rick was in 88 friends came out in 89 also Melle Mell received a grammy for I feel for you so technically thats the first hip hop r&b colab
More Kane please, krs, and the like
Whoever the interviewer is... He needs to go back to the drawing board with his questions. The MAJORITY of Hip Hop, PARTICULARLY from back when Hip Hop evolved was from rhyming over R&B!!!! BDK seemed bored and so was I with the interviewer.
Big Daddy Kane IS A LEGEND!!!!
He's presently performing with an R&B band backing him!!!!!!
Hey VLAD... Hire someone with Hip Hop knowledge instead of these prepared, under-valed questions you're asking OUR Hip Hop legends.
If only rappers today had the same finesse and smoothness that Big Daddy Kane has. He's a genuine guy that doesn't feel the need to exert his masculinity by acting all 'gangsta' like these rappers nowadays are doing. Plus he knows how to dress well :)
Preach Brother Kane !
Teach the truth to the young black youth.
Great interview. Even with answering the questions, Kane definitely wasn't half steppin... OG
much respect to BDK. He spread the love to the culture with the R&B question
Kane if you ever see this I'm one of your biggest fans bro ready Redd 39 years old used to call myself Big Daddy Dame love you Kane. From long live the Kane all the way to Veterans Day..
Preach!
1 of the BEST; If not Thee BEST
Kane makes a good point.
yeah kane! speak on it!
Sylvia Robinson owned Sugar Hill Records had a few Rap/R&B tracks in the early 1980's.
Preach.....
legend right here.
That's one smooth hair cut.
