Word is Bond is same as saying My Word is my HONOR, same as a handshake used to mean back in the day. Shake on it, Word is bond, same as no cap, same as standing on business. He mean what he says, he's not lying. 😎
Peace sister, Word is Bond, and Bond is life, and I will give my life before my word shall fail!! Once you give your word, you must stay true to it, or die trying... Peace!!
@ i’m not going to get to all of that. We as a culture spend way too much time going back-and-forth about who’s better than who they both are great and I appreciate them both.
Word is bond is God body talk 5% nation of Islam also means your is bond meaning the truth It says the word " bond" is my life. I shall die before my word shall fell
lol, you made me remember my pioneer 6x9s, 15” kicker box, amp, tweets… from the early nineties. Circuit City kept me hooked up. Good times, thanks for the smile 😅
Fun fact: the dudes dancing behind him are Scoob and Scrap Lover....in those days MC's and dj's highlighted dancers in the background for added entertainment to live shows and videos.
word is bond means your word carries weight; you say what you mean and you mean what you say. "word is bond" original full saying was: "My word is my bond, my bond is my life, I shall give my life before my word shall fail". That was the full saying that came from Elijah Muhammad
Big Daddy Kane wrote for so many dope MCs. He changed the game. He was the first with that crazy word play and personification. My favorite verse of his was from “The Symphony.” You should check it out. That’s a classic!
Young man I only seen my dad once when I was 4. Raised by my superhero mom. I'm 53 from nyc and a veteran. I appreciate your reactions to my era of music nobody copied everybody was original basically everybody was the s*** so you continue down the rabbit hole
Big Daddy Kane, one of the ole skol elites, and still doing his thing... Smooth lyrics, smooth flow, but deadly and can dance his butt off... The asiatic killer
I’m so glad to see this young man got the same bop the same big ass Kool-Aid smile we had when we first heard this jam and we couldn’t believe our fucking ears
“My word is my bond” is an idiom that means someone will always keep their promises. For example, “You can believe me when I say I'll help you. My word is my bond”.
My word is my bond Word to the motherland I remember discovering artists of the past when I was in my 20s .. it's a great feeling haha I'm sharing this channel with my nephew
You remind me of me when I worked at a record store during this time. Seems like every rap album released during this time was fire. I was in my mid 30's and a white dude, this time was GREAT. I am in my 60's now still listening to these jams! Loved it when artists did in store and you got to meet the guys releasing albums at the time. I was fortunate to meet the artists and chat with them. I want to thank you for your reactions and bringing back many good memories. You ROCK my friend!
8:49 bruh, in order to understand how dope that line was when he said, “play like Roy Rogers and slooooow down”, that was in the Roy rogers commercials for his restaurants.
Excellent work with your video, my brother. I really Love how you and other young brothers keep all of our culture and heritage alive as it should. It's real because it's our True Life, brother. JP. - Muhammad Ali A.K.A. Abdul-Wali. Rep'n ALLAH!!!
My first rap tape purchased as a kid.... long live the kane.. 1988.. raw, set it off , ain't no half steppin... childhood memories.."bless the paragraph... I manifest.." - Big Daddy Kane
The whole album by BDK is great. Worth checking out in full. I think his track was the first time Blind Alley was sampled, and then it was heavily sampled in the early 90s by everyone. I guess at some point you'll be checking out tracks by BDKs label mate Biz Markie (Just A Friend, Spring Again, This Is One For The Radio). Or the whole Juice Crew on Marley Marl's 'Symphony', also part of the same family of rappers.
Antonio Hardy was from Brooklyn and “word is bond” is an east coast rap thing as the best I can tell. It just meant, my words are the truth and you can hold me to it: I was in high school at the height of RAP. Lyricists, sampling, scratching, dance crews. I miss it all so much.
Big Daddy Kane is from the same area as The Notorious B.I.G.. Literally a few blocks away from each other in Bed-Stuy. Kane was a bit older. Actually Kane's Dj Mr Cee is credited for discovering The Notorious B.I.G.
I’m happy you enjoyed it the way you did. I’m 45 and I felt the same way when I heard it at age 9. The song still great as when I first heard it. This was my introduction to hip hop
Big Daddy Kane had it all. Smooth rhymes, dance moves, dapper look, all of it. My favorite diss from him (not in this song): "Battling me is hazardous to health, so put a quarter in your ass 'cause you played yourself." Keep it up young man you're finding the good stuff.
The part in the video where he has a championship belt. He won that in A rap battle . This battle was held at the New York at the new music seminar. The name of the battle was called battle for world supremacy. It was once a year that they had this battle. There was a DJ battle and an MC battle. Big Daddy Kane against Rakim. They were the last two standing But the battle was very, very close. They voted Big Daddy cane the winner.And that is de belt.You see that he's holdin in this Video. Some famous d j's to hold that d j battle belt was d j jazzy jeff and d j cash money.
This comes from a portion of the NOI Supreme Wisdom Lessons which reads; "Question: Have you not learned that your word shall be Bond regardless of whom or what? Answer: Yes. My word is Bond and Bond is life, and I will give my life before my word shall fail." 🤲🏾
I'm 53 from Brooklyn. I grew up on real hip-hop. Idk if you've reacted to females but Queen Latifah & McLyte are my favs. Also Self Destruction is a must!
Your word was legally binding or bonded like the fort knox to the US dollar....until the gold lost its value. The phrase My word is my bond stuck and true to hiphop form WE FLIPPED that shit💃🏿💯
Kane and Rakim were the epitome of rappers of their time. Check out Set it Off, Wrath of Kane, Smooth Operator from Kane. I am now 51, born and raised in the Bronx. I am really enjoying your reaction videos. You are just scratching the surface to great hip hop of that time.
Man! I was having a boring night until your video! Keep up the good work, discovering and dissecting the great lyrics of our Rap Heroes! History class in sessions! Salute!
Glad I grew up in the golden age of hip hop.

No bullshit!! If he only knew half the music he’s missed!
Best era of HiP HoP especially if you were from NYC. Good memories...
Yes me too!!
Word is Bond is same as saying My Word is my HONOR, same as a handshake used to mean back in the day. Shake on it, Word is bond, same as no cap, same as standing on business. He mean what he says, he's not lying. 😎
i always took it as (my) word is (my) bond, aka my contract, my commitment, etc
Too bad that nowadays too many times a man's word and his bond have become invalid.
Peace sister, Word is Bond, and Bond is life, and I will give my life before my word shall fail!! Once you give your word, you must stay true to it, or die trying... Peace!!

Big Daddy Kane is one of the BEST lyricist in hip hop history...this song came from 1988 one of the BEST years in hip hop ever🔥🔥🔥🔥
Early nineties too
Fresh for 88....you suckas....-KRS1
Up there wit G-rap , rakim, KRS, masta Ace
Another one from 88, the best yr in rap history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FACTS!!!
Agreed
88 was definitely the best year in rap, so many classic albums.
Word!
Hard to argue against that
Kane was a monster on them bars 🔥🔥
You're going to go nuts over The Symphony!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑
BDK, G-Rap, Craig G, Master Ace.... I don't care who's first or who's last! 🔥
Absolutely!!! He has to do the symphony next.
Agree the father of Gangsta rap. RIP Cool G
Yes, he will
Word
Word is bond= speaking truthfully. words are binding
Exactly
Real talk
Your word is your bond for truth-BDK should be higher in the order👊🏾

Word is bond is God body talk 5% nation of Islam also means your is bond meaning the truth
It says the word " bond" is my life. I shall die before my word shall fell
He was ahead of his time. One of the best for sure. "SMOOTH OPERATOR" & "I GET THE JOB DONE"
Mortal combat 🙌🏾
Rakim, Kane and KRS-1, no particularly order, were some of the best to do it during the 80s. I was jamming my pioneers 6x9's during the 80s.
Gospel Truth!!!!!
Don't forget LL
lol, you made me remember my pioneer 6x9s, 15” kicker box, amp, tweets… from the early nineties. Circuit City kept me hooked up. Good times, thanks for the smile 😅
Amen
lol I had the pioneers too!
Fun fact: the dudes dancing behind him are Scoob and Scrap Lover....in those days MC's and dj's highlighted dancers in the background for added entertainment to live shows and videos.
Kane is that dude!!!!!!You have to listen to The Symphony…arguably the best posse cut ever. Kool G Rap and Kane will blow your mind!
Obligatory a Non-music video version (extended one) 🔥
Gospel Truth!!!
And RAW.
I was there I agree
Long live the Kane!
Love it when Biz Markie gives part of Kane's backstory in "Vapors". RIP to the Biz
My bro ran into him at Iverson Mall in MD one day. Chill bro there
@@BoutTime73 cool story, Thx! Not surprised he was super chill at all!
BDK wrote The Vapors for Biz!!

Kane was like 19 or 20 when he dropped this. Absolute classic. Monster influence on so many subsequent MCs.
DAYYYYUUUUMMMMMM I MISS 80'S & 90'S HIP HOP!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same here
You are pulling out the OG-OG's!!!! Big Daddy Kane!!!!
Finally!!! Let's go down the Big Daddy Kane rabbit hole followed by Kool Moe Dee.

In my opinion the first rapper to reach goat-level, he had the whole package
Think Rakim was slightly better but that’s just my opinion. Kane a very close second but apples/oranges just felt the R more
I'm 68 yrs old and that was one my favorite songs back in the day. Big Daddy kane was hard!
Big Daddy Kane:
Set it Off
Raw
Warm it Up Kane
Long live the Kane
He aint ready for that yet
Raw Remix
@RoganRicheart Facts
Young, Gifted and Black was sleeper Kane Classic
Kane is a lyrical master!! A legendary rapper along with Rakim, Kool G Rapp, KRS-1 etc
Back in the day we were raised to believe a man is only as good as his word, so whatever you say you meant it. In other words your word is your bond
Big Daddy Kane, Raw! Super hard
You definitely need to check this one out after seeing your reaction to Rakim. I think you’re really going to like it.
Big Daddy Kane, one of the ole skol elites, and still doing his thing...
Smooth lyrics, smooth flow, but deadly and can dance his butt off...
The asiatic killer
I’m so glad to see this young man got the same bop the same big ass Kool-Aid smile we had when we first heard this jam and we couldn’t believe our fucking ears
Word is bond is just a short way of saying, "My word is my bond." It basically means that you are being honest.
Kane is my favorite MC from that era.
One of the true legends of Hip Hop!
your word is your bond, you keep it 100
I saw him in concert. I love me some Big Daddy Kane.
You are hitting the all time CLASSICS.. Listen and learn, young Brotha!
Your word is your bond, meaning your word is good. Meaning you stand on your word.
The smooth operator! BDK keeps it light with his dope lyrical mastery. Luv the guy! 🔥
Kane is definitely an OG pioneer for lyricist in hip-hop. I'm glad you reacting to Kane.
Also, one of the greatest to ever do it!
Yes, Ain’t No Half Steppin
Word us bond means your word is your bond, you are bound by your word, you give your word you keep it. If your word aint ish, you aint ish.
Smooth Operator! I loved me some Big Daddy, back in the day!

'SELF DESTRUCTION' - Stop the Violence movement and 'We're all in the same gang' - the west coast 'equivalent'. Two classic posse cuts to listen to.

My word is my bond

I remember discovering artists of the past when I was in my 20s .. it's a great feeling haha
