Rakim and Kane are way above any of today’s studio puppets. I told a guy Rakim was the best rapper of all time and he said who is that? I just let it go moved past it no time for it.
Graduated HS in '89.. So miss coming home and watching rap city and YO! MTV Raps.. God those were good times.. Too Short, EPMD, PE, Run DMC, Beasties, Eric B & Rakim, Too Short, Digital Underground, D Nice, Dj Quik, Special Ed.. Pioneers..
People could wait for new album to come no cd I tunes etc or the radio wbls ktu nyc was Raw ! This sound the same but you had to be in the 80 party 🥳 days coming big speaker he was Greatest at the time jay and biz Ole Fl🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉er hell of rhyme writing skill juice crew !
Slick Rick, KRS, Rakim, G-Rap and Kane completely changed the game late 80's, meanwhile Wu-Tang, Mobb, Nas, Naughty, Big L and Redman dominated the 90's.
Old school rap is always the best love it and i love listening to it when ever it plays !!!! Thanks for all the great lyrics and good times and memories! !!!!!!
Hell,yeah---this was the rap classic to define all rap classic by back in the day! I got the cassette this on and played the living hell out of it back in the day. More than two decades late, it's still one badass song.
It was difficult trying to buy real hip hop in Australia in the 80s (peace to Central Station Records before they became a techno-wanker specialists) - but I had this on 12 inch vinyl & it featured on the classic "Colors" soundtrack! My man Kane!
nozzyboibeats it is simple what do you mean a break drum beat a trumpet that’s pressed every bar and then a simple chorus melody with Occasional scratching
I like some of today's rap but you can not beat the old school masters...... Big Daddy Kane in particular is one of my favorites ...Im 43, from England and I grew up on this music ... I love love love it ..... ;)
I remember flying to New York at 16 on my own and this was everywhere pumping out every car every house every shop it was pure fire. I grew into a man on that trip.
This song made me Kane fan as a Shawdy, but it gives me chills because it makes me think of preteens and teens selling crack, getting swept up in the judicial system or worse. This song was literally one of the soundtrack songs to that moment in time, seeing that with my own eyes, every one was playing this when it dropped. 😞
@@ddrocketstown4893 Strong contender. I won't call you crazy. Wayne bodied it for sure. I still give Kane the edge though, maybe for intangibles that are more subjective than objective admittedly. Kane voice and flow, his authoritative baritone, his butter smooth flow and multisyllabics and timing just sound...*Tighter* to me. As far as the beat I don't even think it's close RAW is one of the greatest beats ever made and at that time it was the first time I'd heard it sampled. It's absolutely fire. The hardbody is dope, no doubt, but I don't think it's fucking with this King.
+Killa Bee Nah during Kanes era you couldnt be a sucka or a wall flower at the House Party lol so knowing how to dance with the fly girlies was a must for all the real rappers!
This is hip hop at it's finest and I wish rappers right now sounded this good on the mic. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017
THE VERSION WITH G RAP ON IT IS JUST AS DOPE AND HARD AS HELL TO FIND ON WAX. I SAW A COLD CHILLIN' COMPILATION ON VINYL YEARS AGO AT LOONEY TUNES IN BOSTON, DIDN'T GET IT AND I'M STILL KICKING MYSELF IN THE ASS FOR IT! I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT RECORD SINCE AND THAT WAS LATE 90'S EARLY 2000'S. THE VERSION WITH G RAP ON IT, IS ON THAT COMP.
The Kane is top 5 emcees of all time. It's not about grammys, billboards, sales, promotion, riches, and other non rap related stuff. No one does Swagger Rap better than the Kane. Lyrically he's top 5 all time. My favourite line here is - The minute that the kane, starts to go on, believe it's gonna be smooth sail and so on. As I put other rappers out of their misery, hit them in a battle and make them all history. Ruling and scholing emcees that i'm dueling, watch them all take a fall. As I sit back cooling on my throne with the bronze microphone, hmmm God bless a child that can hold his on, cos I get raw. A lot of people forget that during the golden age of hip hop, hip hop wasn't accepted by the establishment and this affected the popularity. Thus you can't expect Kane to sell as much records as Drake even if Drake can't tie his shoe laces
Loved this track as a kid I used to go to the arcade across the street and pay this on the jukebox everytime. Last time I heard it was in the 80s and I still remember most of the lyrics 😂
i can't believe its taken me this long to see the greatness that is BDK. based on his look i thought he was another marginally talented 80s gimmick rapper a la flavor flav but I've recently listened to long live the kane and WOW. i been sleeping lol.
"So full of action, my name should be a verb"... Still kicks 30 years later
When an MC was an artist; seamless integration of word, content, flow and cadence. This man was a master of word play. BDK! BDK!
Dre Williams And dont forget...CLARITY
The greatest
Rakim and Kane are way above any of today’s studio puppets. I told a guy Rakim was the best rapper of all time and he said who is that? I just let it go moved past it no time for it.

Factz
Big daddy Kane is the greatest rapper of all time no doubt his flow and word Play is amazing
G Rap for me
One of the most perfectly constructed, produced and written rap songs ever created.
This flow and word play is pure🔥
Even after all this time, still no rapper who can compare to Kane or G rap in their prime
One of the best hip hop tracks of all time. Caused a sensation when Kane first dropped it and it still sounds fresh.
To. This. Day.
People could wait for new album to come no cd I tunes etc or the radio wbls ktu nyc was Raw ! This sound the same but you had to be in the 80 party 🥳 days coming big speaker he was Greatest at the time jay and biz Ole Fl🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉er hell of rhyme writing skill juice crew !
The best track ever made
An Absolute CLASSIC!
Kane and Rakim top 5 to ever do it. If you disagree you don't know the game.
Chuck D up in that mix
I remember a mix tape Rakim diss kane in a freestyle it was dope and crazy. Im still looking for that mix song
I remember he said "I don't sniff kane to get raw,
Can't forget KRS, BIG L, AND EPMD ‼️
This is an example of REAL HIP HOP, DA BEAT,DA LYRICS, DA FLOW...REAL HIP HOP
Slick Rick, KRS, Rakim, G-Rap and Kane completely changed the game late 80's, meanwhile Wu-Tang, Mobb, Nas, Naughty, Big L and Redman dominated the 90's.
Can't forget Big as far as the 90s are concerned.
you're not Allah Justice
Indeed
Chuck D too
Ice Cube does not approve this post!
Even in 2023 this shit still hittin hard classic record
I love this late 80's rap.
one of my My HS Graduation Party songs, sigh, Hip Hop in its organic state, nothing will ever replace it ;)
5 minutes of straight barz 🎧🔥🎤
he is still as live as any Mc alive today 2023 ..greatest hip hop flow of his generation
Best mc of all times ..in my opinion 🥇
Kane doesn’t get his due respect! He’s always been in my top 5!
Kane in his prime was a brute force unparalleled by none.
Here in May 2019 and still diggin it from back in the day.... who's with me????
Old school rap is always the best love it and i love listening to it when ever it plays !!!! Thanks for all the great lyrics and good times and memories! !!!!!!
This is the cure for today's musical woes.
"I'm a damager, I'm not an amateur but a professional not questionable without doubt subperb" Bars!
One of the things I enjoy about Old Skool rap/hip-hop is the appreciation of those who came before. Gotta love the get down!
Big Daddy Kane's flowing lyrics served over a plethora of old school raw beats
The most underrated solo rap performance of All Time!!
golden age of rap , Kane ruled it. he had everybody walking around with 3 and 4 cuts in their eyebrows
Rakim you mean
I didn't do the eyebrow cuts, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
@RogeMan that's your opinion bruh
KING ASIATIC NOBODY EQUAL
nobody
Hell,yeah---this was the rap classic to define all rap classic by back in the day! I got the cassette this on and played the living hell out of it back in the day. More than two decades late, it's still one badass song.

Will always be in my top ten...born in the 70's baby!
One of the best tracks ever had it memorized since age 12
born in 95 and loved 80s ever since.
Same, people don't understand we can enjoy other eras
do u want a cookie or something
This is just straight bars on a simple beat...RAW
this beat is far from beeing simple, my little padawan
nozzyboibeats it is simple what do you mean a break drum beat a trumpet that’s pressed every bar and then a simple chorus melody with Occasional scratching
Good and good more good. Thanks
🤟😎💪
🥰🤑🥳
This track got me instantly into hip hop at 15. Legendary!
Im 14 and from Germany and i love Oldschool Shit! Thanks to my dad Showing me this at 7 yrs💎💎💎
Straight bars .......... where did hiphop go? ??
to the south.
Got diluted and turned pop
Down the toilet with a few exceptions.
I like some of today's rap but you can not beat the old school masters...... Big Daddy Kane in particular is one of my favorites ...Im 43, from England and I grew up on this music ... I love love love it ..... ;)

He made it seem effortless. Legendary flow
Miss those days love you big daddy brother Kane peace everyone .

"Never let a fisher price emcee hang, your rhymes a toy nothing but a ying yang"- Superior bars and wordplay.
kane ran the game back then. g rap, kane and ra
God bless the child that can hold his own” ..fresh
I'm genuine like Gucci, raw like sushi
That line punches as hard now as it did in 1988. Kane may die today, but his name will remain like a Hieroglyphic.
these are the true hiphop legends
One of the Best rapper from 80s era. While Rakim have better Lyricism but Big Daddy Kane have sick wordplay and punchline
Yessss man Kane was the man.... still is... Raw was it....
ny was so live back then!!!!
"Never smokin' or hittin' or takin a sniff"

I’ll be listening to whatever year I die.
This rap song is my motivation and I listen to it before I go LIVE and while I'm LIVE, what a confident booster. 😊💯💪
When rap was art.
The dopest Mc in the 80s and 90s
He’s in the top 5 MC’s of all times
My man's killed it. Definitely the best MC of all time. He outrapped everyone in Busta Rhymes "Don't Touch Me Now!"
Modern Hip-Hop as nothing on this whatsoever. Just brilliant!
2020, 2030, 2040 still the hardest beat and most treacherous freestyle I've ever heard. Corona days... April 4th
Call me crazy but I'll put lil Wayne hard body freestyle against this and it will hold it's own
@@ddrocketstown4893 Strong contender. I won't call you crazy. Wayne bodied it for sure. I still give Kane the edge though, maybe for intangibles that are more subjective than objective admittedly.

The word play is serious!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
It can't be matched
Pure genius!
Kane was flowin on this.
Kane went in on this Dope Beat.
Top 5 rapper of all time!
Rap songs with no N word or B word. Wait the Rapper also dances LOL miss those days.
lol lol lol so true
+Killa Bee warm it up kane has the n word
+Killa Bee never mind scratch it, it was nufff respect
+Killa Bee Nah during Kanes era you couldnt be a sucka or a wall flower at the House Party lol so knowing how to dance with the fly girlies was a must for all the real rappers!
+Killa Bee man I so agree with you. miss the old days.
I like old beats. “Who’s gonna take the weight” is bestfor me.
This I like too. They seem simple but smart.
The legendary BDK aka Dark Cable & Scoop and Scrap. Always smooth. BK stand up
The juice in the house 🏠! The Greatest big daddy real king of nyc !
