We got a problem here.
By my count - Kane only got 16 firm solo joints...and 10 (and a possible) is from the first 2 albums.
That’s not a good ratio.

However, that’s not counting the features.
So not “Symphony”, “Burn Hollywood Burn”, “No Delayin’”, “In The Game”.
But some of his joints will depend on what crowd is there.

I have Kane as #12 all-time all things considered, and Kris as #7...
and I think this battle will reflect that schism, because KRS got too many joints for BDK.

Ok, yall not gon like this...


Kane is the most overrated top MC out the 80's GOAT list


He wasnt better than LL, Rakim, KRS (who mopped him in Verzuz)

Slick Rick had the prison stint, but its safe to say Kane never had an album better the Great Adventures.


I will even say his first two albums aint even fuhking with Special Ed's first two albums. debate with your mom's if you disagree..


Kane had the most cringeworthy songs out the bunch. That song "Very Special" he made with Spinderella was just a disgrace.

"If love is Blind, Im the Ray Charles of Rap"

:picard:



Yet, this dude always gets put on a top 10 list. man fuhkouttahere. Naw...

Nothing overrated about Kane in the 80s. 80s Kane was a beast. He put out 2 Classic albums, some classic 12s and appeared on arguably the GOAT posse cut while writing hits for others, friend.

Not going to say he is overrated but I listened to Paid in Full and Long Live a few days ago and Kane’s lyrics didn’t hit like I remember that album. Basically I am saying going back and listening he didn’t sound as amazing as Ra. Rakim lyrics just aged better. Also lyrically he was only close to Rakim and G Rap for a very short period.

Definitely not in my top 10. I’d be pressed to get him in my top 25. Personally :hubie:
