If you want to show any emcee how to look cool or the mic or how to have swagger and rock a crowd then this is the perfect example. Big Daddy Kane is easily the best performing emcee and the smoothest out there. No matter how complex hip hop lyrics become and how people like Nas, Eminem, Kendrick or any other emcees that have come since and have raised the bar for what's expected lyrically and how perfectly crafted your lyrics are, nobody will ever get any smoother than this. Too many new school rappers don't go as far back as the 80s and miss out on so many legends who have contributed to the game when really they should be taking notes from performances like this. Words can't explain how great Kane was
the single dopest hip hop performance ever... I don't even care if he purposely dropped the mic... kane is so far and away above the rim... this is so smooth there is nothing else that can be said about it... kane = goat... other than kool keith... PEACE
+Bobby Fischer nah man check out eminem nyc the wetlands 1997 at the 2:00 min mark be ready to get fucking flooooooored shit is unreal. The constant outcrys from the crowd are to funny. they shout out : FUUUCK! /oh my god. /and other grunts of grimeyness during the whole thing. Would have loved to be there. SHIT WAS ON FIIIIIRE!
True. Like how Biggie did a similar thing when he used to perform Party and Bullshit and actually have his crew fight on stage when he delivered the line about a fight breaking out only to reveal it was all part of the plan. Sounds more boring when written down but there's a scene in his biopic that shows what i mean too
I never get tired of watching this video!!! Wish I was at this show! Come to Tampa Big Daddy🎤Old Skool.........CAN I KICK IT???.....Yes you can..... CAN I KICK IT???? Yes you can.. ..
I don't have the patience to argue over who the GOAT is. But I can say this--and nobody can debate me--my FAVORITE emcee of all time is Big Daddy Kane. And I don't have to explain jack.
reasonable doubt was pretty much ignored upon it's arrival so while I would put Jay as being a bit earlier on his rise I agree with you for the most part... nobody was listening to Jay z when reasonable doubt dropped...
Bobby Fischer RD was still his best album too....dude sold out in later years. Black A was pretty good but...ehhhh, he should've stay retired after that.
Khalil Young lol I and a bunch of other dudes started rapping in 88' but the crap don't matter because nobody knew us (and they still don't) . You hit when your actually professional career begins.
This is stage true stage handling from one of the greatest. Every movement on stage is as important as the lyrics. If a tells a story, tells a joke before doing a song it is as exciting as a well placed mic drop that you make seem natural. His re-posture after the drop was pure can. A true person of Hip-Hop enjoys that. We don't worry if he planned it or not because it doesn't make us smarter to say or know that.
I comeback to this at least 5 times a year and that first beat is just a cold as when I watched it the very first time. I can see pimp c killing that beat too.
The fact he planned it is even more genius LOL. Was definitely risk involved dropping that mic because if it somehow stopped working then this would have been a disaster lol
Are you kidding me? ".....comin' from the brook-hood'....oooopppps drops mic....and then.... Continues to fool every single youtube viewer and every single person in the crowd...charisma, cadence, confidence and 1000x the swagger of any "rap" artist today. That's how you rock a crowd so hard you remember not only the performance, but the performer forever. Mad props for a legend.
“Say no to drugs but keep that Kane up in ya system” Still that next level shit in 2018
BARZ!!!
That's a crazy bar, fasho
2024*
"From the Brook hood- *drops mic* ..... drop shit and still make it look good" legend 🔥
I. Watched 100 times never gets old
God damn little kids fucking up my front page.
This is such a worthless video.
no it's not this video explains life.
MaximilianKohler shut your mouth you fucking idiot and go listen to lil pump
@@MaximilianKohler sad life
Same
There's no way that mic drop was a mistake. Anyone named Big Daddy Kane never makes mistakes.
I thought it was obvious to everyone that it was planned.
he also said it in a interview, it was planned ;p
The beat wouldn't have stopped right at the same time if it was a mistake.
Thanks captain obvious
+Piper Phillips why the mic doesnt determine the beat playing at all
He might of done it on purpose but he made the crowd go crazy
might have? look at his hand. its totally on purpose
*****
Exactly the right moment? He's saying a full line before the beat kicks in, which is enough for the DJ to catch up.
streetball102 Upvoting both because I thought you were correcting his "might of" to "might have" and because you're right. It's obviously intentional.
RACIST BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right, i replayed that part a few times, he indeed opened his hand on purpose.

Of Course, Very Well Put!!
But U Can't EXPLAIN this to People Bcuz They Had BLINDERS on (Str8 Tunnel Vision)...
All to true but, can't forget about KRS ONE, he can rock a crowd in ways unreal, his lyricism is raw n all.
@@jamiearchibald8755 BDK will body Krs today in Versuz
@@thefatalveli1 he did the first freestyle from this in that shit, was hot
As always
@@FederalEmployee Fo Sho
It obviously was staged. He said it on thisis50. Even so though he is a great performer and knows how to wow the crowd. Such an awesome performance
If you know Big Daddy Kane you know he did that on purpose.
One of the most talented rappers of all time.
Imagine it's 2023 and that was and is still the best mic drop scheme EVER! THAT'S TUFF🔥🔥🔥💯
That comeback was everything, his DJ on point!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤯🤯🤯

The B-I-G-D-A double D-Y-K-A-N-E!!!!!!! Still one of the best ever.
"Kids, say no to drugs but keep that Kane up in your system"
The mic drop was part of the act. Kane was too smooth and made it look real. You saw how hyped the crowd went? He is an MC. Done.
No duh
captain obvious strikes again!
have you read some of the comments
no disrespect but this was too smooth to be true
Rick James are you supposed to be rick james bitch?
I think he is good and smooth enough for this to b real!
NUKE then why does the music stop when he drops the mic
It was prepared, he does the same freestyle every time, check his NPR concert for example
😂
Who is still watching this 🔥 in 2024？

Cmon man...Daddy Kane still got that swag. ..drops the mic and still
David Sherm MAKES IT LOOK GOOD
Obviously done on purpose.. DJ also on point, dropped the beat & brought it back on time 🔥 #longlivethekane

The mic drop was planned, but this is called being a SHOWMAN, & giving the crowd the unexpected. So smooth & so playa!
Hip hop rap fan or not....that was smooth as fuck!

One of the greatest Hip Hop performers of all time!!!
CLASSIC!!! what a legend!! seen him a few times in London - full of energy great performance - RESPECT!!!!!

Best comeback ever...!!!
2021 and this is still the smoothest thing I've ever seen. 🔥

Of course he dropped the mic on purpose. It's called showmanship.
“In this, yall defenseless against this, put them in the clinches, nobody wins this” straight barzzz
Kane been crazy with it.
Styled it out like a boss!

Kanes a Monster on tha mic
I`m back in here 11 years later and bopping my head to this...
This guy had so much swag, back when people didn't even know what "swag" is.
That’s what they called pimpin my boy
I don't have the patience to argue over who the GOAT is. But I can say this--and nobody can debate me--my FAVORITE emcee of all time is Big Daddy Kane. And I don't have to explain jack.
It must be chilly outside, he's wearing an awful lot of layers. Poor guy must live in a cold climate.
Dustin Decarlo Is it because of his ethnicity?
Man can never be hot!
He is one of Thee Coldest MCs ever is why.
Don’t worry he’s used to being hot since he spits fire so much
U just witnessed a living legend, full of greatness, one of the best that ever did it.😎💣💥
Big daddy came out in the 80 ' s jay z didn't hit till after biggie died.97 know your history.
reasonable doubt was pretty much ignored upon it's arrival so while I would put Jay as being a bit earlier on his rise I agree with you for the most part... nobody was listening to Jay z when reasonable doubt dropped...
Bobby Fischer RD was still his best album too....dude sold out in later years. Black A was pretty good but...ehhhh, he should've stay retired after that.
Jay z started rapping in 88 my g
Khalil Young lol I and a bunch of other dudes started rapping in 88' but the crap don't matter because nobody knew us (and they still don't) . You hit when your actually professional career begins.
+Khalil Young A lot of rappers who are in their early to mid 40s now started rapping in 88. Nas, Jay, Eminem, Fat Joe and other rappers in the 90s.
That was such a crazy act. It was part of the rhyme. The coat pulled it off.

Watch a master perform. This man is one of the true living legends.
Long live the Kane. I got the shivers watching this. That mic drop was legendary.
Damn was this freestyled? He's beast.
Also Kane gained some weight since 88
I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS. CLASSIC BDK 11-2-2019 SATURDAY

One of a kind
Crazy to think this was uploaded 10 years ago
The fact he planned it is even more genius LOL. Was definitely risk involved dropping that mic because if it somehow stopped working then this would have been a disaster lol
True, but I'd assume mics are usually durable enough so it won't break from one drop.
This nigga pants could drop, trip and fall and still come out victorious as if nothing bad didn't happen
This is why he is in my top 10 smooth lyrical rapper dope with it
Anybody know the names of tracks/beats in this video?
Gwyds ws yeah please i want to know them too
Tank Man The first one is Ludacris - Roll Out, and the second one is Freeway - Roc the Mic
In my top 3 MC's of all time.... Big Daddy Kane
Nobody from young money got shit on Big Daddy Kane
of course he drops the mic on purpose because the music stops at the same time. Best punchline ever!!
2019?
Are you kidding me?
".....comin' from the brook-hood'....oooopppps drops mic....and then....
Continues to fool every single youtube viewer and every single person in the crowd...charisma, cadence, confidence and 1000x the swagger of any "rap" artist today.
