Can an informed Coli breh please put me on to Big Daddy Kane's Legacy?

[cheek100]

I don't get it, cocaine is dog food?

Or by me putting that I want more emoji you're saying more what cocaine or heroin? Like I'm addict? And you're a fukboi for trying to diss?

Surely not the latter.

Na bruh dog food is H or boy. Your analysis was on point, and so was mine. Depending on what u were into back then. Drug references were less candid but still meaningful.
The 80s was a wild era. Rap metaphors went in all directions.

See Thelma Wright

I owe you an apology bro. My perspective is fukked from so much hate I got over the years it's hard for me to understand things online. Sorry for even mentioning the term fukkboi.

My bad homie.

And thank you for clarifying.
I learned H was called Boy from crazy Birdman shyt back in the day.

Ain't no half stepping is my favorite Kane track.

I feel Krs One, Kool G Rap and Kool Keith eclipsed Rakim and Kane - solely off the fact that they kept releasing full albums.

They kept it going no matter the industry climate.

Kool Keith should be on that My. Rushmore.

This also why Jay Z is King. Most of his releases sold millions. Which was and is very difficult to do. Very.

Jay bit Kanes flow

This classic came out in 2002:


On a personal note, I saw Kane live last year. It was one of the best shows I have ever been to, and I have been to some great ones. He rocked the stage like he never left.

Still got it too

I assume this song pumped in cars driving through New York in 1988?
If so - fukking phenomenal!
The instrumental holds up in 2020, as does the flow and lyric patterns.

Jesus Christ. Hearing this at 38 is different then at 7. As a man, this song is so fukking impressive!

Please give it a new listen now!

One of the greatest hip hop classics.

Okay thank you. I can tell you know the deal and I needed to hear that from someone who really knows.

Can someone please clarify this to me -
The original Mount Rushmore of Rap is
1. Krs One
2. Rakim
3. Kool G Rap
4. Big Daddy Kane

Correct? I saw it mentioned before. Is that is the consensus.

If fans can please add more to this on Kane.

Lol.. yall nyggas gonna stop shytting on LL.. aint noo way Kane was on any list over LL..

I dont know why people just try to erase him. He was THAT nygga the 80s and outlasted all of them

Me personally...I would add Slick Rick to that as well..

 

[King Poetic]

One of the top rappers ever in his era of the 80s

first 2 albums was classic then he made that horrible ass taste of chocolate album in 1990 and he was done

And that's what it's all about. Crazy!

That vid of him dropping the mic, then killing it is a classic hip hop moment.

I too don't like that Mt Rushmore list but I've seen that everywhere has the consensus and there is only 4 spots.

Yes LL is over alot of them in my books too. Great music, longevity.

And health! Physical fitness. That's so important and overlooked in rap. It takes so much discipline to achieve being as fit as LL was and is.

 

[Crumple]

Me personally...I would add Slick Rick to that as well..

Slick Rick is a goat for certain.

Born in England x raised in the Bronx.

What a combination for a lyricist!

 

[King Poetic]

I go by eras and for me in the 80s it was

1. Rakim
2. Slick Rick
3. LL Cool J
4. Krs one
5. Kool G Rap

then came kane

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Ironically I been on a 80’s hip hop binge and was listening to Kane


Dude was ahead of his time with the flow and wordplay, smooth but still hard while also dropping jewels.


Like @Get These Nets said he started catering to the ladies too much but his style is definitely influential even to this day.
