From the 1989 Soundtrack: "Lean On Me"...(Click "show more" for artist info)..
Antonio Hardy (born September 10, 1968), better known by his stage name Big Daddy Kane, is a Grammy Award-winning American rapper and actor who started his career in 1986 as a member of the rap collective the Juice Crew. He is widely considered to be one of the most influential and skilled MCs in hip hop. The name Big Daddy Kane came from a variation on Caine, David Carradine's character from TV show Kung Fu and a character called "Big Daddy" Vincent Price played in the film Beach Party.
Rolling Stone magazine ranked his song "Ain't No Half-Steppin'" #25 on its list of The 50 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time, calling him "a master wordsmith of rap's late-golden age and a huge influence on a generation of MCs."
In 1984, Kane became friends with Biz Markie, and he would co-write some of Biz's best-known lyrics. Both eventually became important members of the Queens-based Juice Crew, a collective headed by renowned producer Marley Marl. Kane signed with Tyrone Williams’s (Marl’s manager) and Len Fichtelberg’s Cold Chillin' Records label in 1987 and debuted the same year with the 12" single "Raw," which was an underground hit. Kane is known for his ability to syncopate over faster hip hop beats, and despite his asthmatic condition he is acknowledged as one of the pioneering masters of fast rhyming. His sense of style is renowned and set a number of late-1980s and early-1990s hip hop trends (high-top fades, velour suits, and four-finger rings). The backronym King Asiatic Nobody's Equal is often applied to his moniker.
He released his debut album on Cold Chillin' Records in the early summer of 1988 called Long Live the Kane, which featured the hit "Ain't No Half Steppin'". The following year Kane released his second album and biggest hit to date It's a Big Daddy Thing, which included 1970s sample throwbacks like "Smooth Operator" and the Teddy Riley-produced track "I Get the Job Done," which hit the R&B top 40 during the closing of the 1980s. He also had a memorable verse on the Marley Marl-produced track "The Symphony (song)" released in late 1988, which included Juice Crew members Craig G, Masta Ace, and Kool G Rap.
Big Daddy Kane appeared on Patti LaBelle's 1991 effort, "Burnin'". He provided the rap chorus to the single "Feels Like Another One". He also appeared on the video release "Live in New York."
He contributed the song "Nuff Respect" to the soundtrack of the film Juice, which starred Omar Epps and Tupac Shakur, further demonstrating his fast lyrical delivery.
In 1991, Kane won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for his performance on the Quincy Jones collaborative track "Back on the Block" off Back on the Block.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers during the "golden age" of hip hop (1986-1997), Kane's experimentation with R&B beats and his alignment to the Five Percent Nation drew criticism. Later albums, such as Looks Like a Job For…, were acclaimed, but he was never able to return to the commercial and artistic success of It's a Big Daddy Thing. However, he still tours extensively.
As an actor, he debuted in Mario Van Peebles' 1993 western, Posse, and appeared in Robert Townsend's 1993 film The Meteor Man. Big Daddy Kane also posed for Playgirl and Madonna's Sex book during the 1990s. In 1996, he collaborated with 2Pac on his song "Where Ever U R".
During the early 1990s, Jay-Z toured with Kane, and Kane helped him early on in his career - Ice-T says, "I actually met Jay-Z with Kane. Kane brought Jay-Z over to my house." Kane himself says that Jay-Z wasn’t technically his hypeman in the true sense of the term-"he wasn’t a hypeman, he basically made cameo appearances on stage. When I would leave the stage to go change outfits, I would bring out Jay-Z and Positive K and let them freestyle until I came back to the stage." Jay-Z was also featured on Big Daddy Kane’s track ‘Show & Prove’ from Daddy’s Home (1994), as well as in the video.
In 1995, Kane recorded with MC Hammer and Tupac Shakur on the rap song "Too Late Playa" (along with Danny Boy). He was also mentioned to signing with Death Row East in 1996. In 1997, Kane team up with Frankie Cutlass on his third single title "The Cypher Part 3" and some of Marley Marl Juice Crew veterans. In 1998, he released his final solo album "Veteran'z Day". It received mixed reviews and did not sell well. However, Kane did not give up rapping and made many appearances in the 2000s. - Hudba
Back when MCs were poetical, technical, and had didactic messages.
This was the heart of the 'Golden Era.'
SUPER BIG FACTS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗽🗽🗽👍
I dropped a fucking tear listening to this at 50 years old in 2023. That's the post.
You me and Eminem both
5o in 2024

Same age. Takes me back.
Had to come back & listen to this gem after Eminem reminded of it in EPMD2. Grateful for those artists that pay homage. So much good music in the world. Hard to remember it all 😅
I'm here after listening to that eminem verse on slowmo lol. Didn't catch it the first time.

One of the greatest hip hop eras there is. I miss old school hip hop days.
See, this is my comfort zone (late '80s & up). I was a baby during the time, but this era really grabbed my attention. It reminds me so much of snooping through my dad's cassette and vinyl collection and picking out all the ones w/ the dopest artwork. And then finally listening to them...whew! It's been on ever since. I think we all know how this brotha get down whenever he reach at that microphone. His fine self...
I was a baby around dis time as well but wen I got older I remember going n my older brother room and going they his cassette n CD collections and even my uncle’s CD collection as well and I was blown away when I turned n listened 2 them styll do now
Damn i miss the 80s & 90s hip hop
What's that say about now?
Favorite rapper ever. Bonus: we were both born on the same day. Warm it up Kane!!!
Big daddy kane. On both this and the juice soundtrack
Hes LEGENDARY! LONG LIVE THE KANE📀
Kane Always been top 10 to me all time, one of the God MCs 🙌🗽💯💯💯🔥
Yo I say that too, he’s been in my top 5 since I was a kid. And to this day he still is. Was just listening to Set it off and Wrath of Kane, has my mind going crazy when I hear how he kills it. He’s really unmatched with his word play and how cunning his bars are, this dude is one of the best to ever do it.
Agreed
@@bosshog8277 wrath of kane means alot to me, he repped New York when that came out, flat tops and black goose down trench coats days lol
@@bosshog8277 he's like 6th on my list, after Cool G Rap, BDK is really Up there and glad you look at it that way too 🤝🏻
Definitely top 10

Yo This Was My Jam As A Kid!
Back when true emcees had to drop some certified cognitive knowledge like a street college- edutainment is hip hop!!!
nigggggggggaaaaaaaa
Naw, my brother- recognize game. Even my (societal) conditioning has been conditioned...
Brothers & sisters >> nwords and bitches
Exactly! They pronounced their words properly and you can exactly hear what there saying.
Rappers still do that. You’re just not looking in the right place.
@@thatbronzeboij Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal/Emcees spit rhymes to uplift their people- KRS ONE
Not in the mainstream...mostly face down in the mainstream.
This was and still is dope. Kane got the Kid N Play flow. I could see them doing this track with the same kick steps
2:45 The students the pupils have morals n scruples/ our learning & - abilities - increase - quadruple
Um...wow
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !*
_Tappin' in from South Central LA_
Maaaan, you don't even KNOW how this was my sh*t ! As a teen, I bought the whole movie soundtrack cassette tape _specifically_ for this song when it came out ! One of my friends had a Black ford Pinto with major beat in it that he crashed and had just sitting in his front yard. So we'd still bump the music and this song was KNNNNOCKIN' in it ! 😂
Ahhhh the memories.
Real hip-hop, real meaningful lyrics. Not that Flip-flop... Shit you can't even understand nor benefit from.
Peace to all those with knowledge of self and culture of the ancestors.
We need more rap songs like this in today’s mainstream
How come hip hop music right now doesn't sound this good because what I am hearing right now sucks. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017.
BDK my fav emcer hands down kid! Peace 2 the GODS and EARTHS.
One Love,
CW
