raw big daddy kane

[flipishere1]

My brova used to bump Daddy Kane till da tape pooped. THis is da shit!

[PLANETROCK21229]

it hard to compare the 2 thats like purple or dro take a pick

[TheGecko94]

Rakim aint have shit on this

[N33NJAH]

2pac is hella overrated. hes good, but come on guys, ifhadnt gotten killed, he wud have gone down in history as just a "good" rapper, not "the greatest rapper EVER!!!"

i dont know whos the "greatest" but my top 5 would have to be:

Nas

GZA

Biggie

Vast Aire (look up The F Word by Cannibal Ox)

Raekwon

[injoi]

putting vast aire and even rae (While dope as hell) are not top 5. I would at least put Big L over rae and GZA, and Jay over Vast any day.

[ThaRealChucky]

redain to your comment, ur list is unvalid, seeing that big is dead after only 2 albums, GZA and Raekwon each only had one great album.

nas ofcourse does belong under the top5, thats ovious and i dunno about vast aire...

[N33NJAH]

raekwon, yes. GZA had one GREAT album, but the majority of his albums would still qualify as very good.

vast aire is a big new but hes hella underated cuz hes mostly underground.

bigs dead but that doesnt make him less great, he still takes a giant dump on most so called mcs out there today.

[ohnoyoudidnt00]

eat a dick son,i got into 2pac without ne1 tellin me he was good that was in 94' the man had a unique sound and message please dont play it down.i respect ur opinion but dont hate too hard

[N33NJAH]

how're u gonna tell me to eat a dick and then tell me you respect my opinion? lol

and yeah, I like 2pac a lot, but mostly the shit from his first album. that was him at his realest before he got into all that fake ass thug shit and started getting this messiah complex. i mainly liked the songs he did that were meaningful like Dear Momma and Changes and stuff like that. the shit he did on All Eyez just came off as posing to me.

[ohnoyoudidnt00]

im skitzo.i think hiphop ended when nelly came out,but in the same breath i love wearing band-aids under my eyes.i like staring at the world thru my rearview

[GiselaNYC1]

much respect for Big Daddy Kane... he is one fine brother...hmm hmm hmm...I love this jam from back in my clubbing days...I love his lyrics and look at him a fine brother...Thank you for posting and for the great memories.

[ladyriddims]

deffinately this was the jam..clasic :) BDK is the man.. girl u raw lol..did he perform this at latin quarters or underground ma? i think we were there :))

[GiselaNYC1]

girl we were everywhere...Latin Quarters and all the jumping clubs in NYC mama.

[ladyriddims]

i miss latin quarter :))) back in da days girl..i remember we couldnt even move, large crowd..big ups to the old school and our true hip hop legends/pioneers..

[xreb2008]

this song has that old school flava, those were the times. Love the beat!

[lomeelom]

big daddy fkn kane was d shit..period.

[mikesmithsupersaiyan]

Sit back and listen to one of the greatest men to hold a mic. I only wish that rap had followed his direction instead of following the thugs.

[upinthecut]

[Omar280590]

[rayavon]

papoose is a animal but to say hes better than the legends in the game is a stretch yntil his album drops i never been a big pac fan but i see yo reasons for fuckin wit em listen to mos def closely tho bruh

[gcoste]

This is a great example of a hardcore rap without killing anybody in the hood. Definitely an all time great.

[maxgermain]

HERE I AM / R A W / A TERRORIST / HERE TO BRING TROUBLE PHONY MCS / I MOVE ON MCS I JUST CONQUER AND STOMP ANOTHER RAPPER WITH EASE....

[DeamsMusic]

Check out the track State your Game by Deams ft Big Daddy Kane on You Tube, available at iTunes worldwide..

[craxnmeup]

In reading the comments you gotta remember this is 87 peeps! And this was the shit back then. And after listening to the bullshit out there now it's still the shit IMO.

[bruce6144]

Amazing.

[queenukia]

this is my mother fire sugar honey ice tea

[blackmale78]

Its really nothin' to be said on this joint.......Just listen to it

[lilwaynesuck]

BDK>Jay-Z>Biggie

King of BK

[StuntnNYC101]

Kane said Biggie was the greatest rapper of all time

[tableturns77]

kane mustve been on coke when he said

[StuntnNYC101]

Nigga is YOU on "coke"? who's the best then in your opinion

[tableturns77]

You know kane used to do mad coke. anyways, there is no best. There is no best or greatest. Heres a list of mcs who i think are better than everyone else. Rakim, Kane, Big L, Supernatural, Redman, Nasty Nas (not the Nas now), Chino XL, Common Sense (not the Common now), GZA, Kool G Rap, J-Live, Q Tip (when he was with Tribe),

[Yooide]

dont forget masta ace and krs one :*(

[tableturns77]

I was never a krs one fan i didnt think he was that great.

[StuntnNYC101]

nigga u buggin. Big Pun and BIG were BEASTS on the mic. I don't know what you talkin bout. Ready to Die wasn't "jiggy" my nigga, that was a straight up master piece. Nor was any of Pun's shyt "jiggy"

[tableturns77]

Yea they were beasts as in fat.

[StuntnNYC101]

oh word u one of those clowns. Nigga fall bac and stop listenin to hip hop if you judge an MC by the way they look u faggot

[tableturns77]

How you gonna tell me that when you got the lox and juelz santana in your shit faggot

[StuntnNYC101]

Do u really want me to start clowning on ur favorites??? I can go on for dayz w/ the shyt u have(white boy), nd the LOX are dope I don't know wat the fuk u talkin bout

[tableturns77]

Lox are dope talking about money and power fuck that rap commercial bullshit. Go ahead clown on my shit i dont give a fuck but were talking about hiphop here.

[StuntnNYC101]

Money Power and Respect=Street shyt, it might have seemed "commercial" to you cuz it was a popular track but the concept behind it is straight street shyt. If you were from it you might know what they talkin bout

[tableturns77]

It was still some rap ass bullshit and not hiphop nuff said.

[JJAY412]

I'm gonna just put this out there Pun and BIG weren't even that beast compared to Rakim...

and that money power shit is also known as gangsta rap but that shits whack now back in the day when NWA and Dr Dre rapped about that shit it was true the shit today ppl rap about is bullshit.

[shenanigan55]

Biggie, Big Pun and Jadakiss of LOX are all great emcees. You know nothing.

[IceColdNemisis]

fuck jadakiss

[bosman1988]

I'm kinda with you... I wasn't ever really down with his whole "hip-hop purist" outlook; it ran thin and got preachy as hell. respect to him though.

[henri333]

balance is key

[StuntnNYC101]

Yea that list is good I wont lie, I respect when you say Nas(not the Nas now) cuz Nas has been trash. But to add to that list Vintage Hove, BIG, nd Big Pun

[tableturns77]

nah fuck big and big pun that was that when wack ass jiggy bling started to come around.

[StuntnNYC101]

and I'm not just saying them cuz they 'popular' names, all 3 of them go in(no homo)

[taylor4660]

there u go.....that is the Link of the family tree..

Grandmaster Caz/BDK/Biggie/Jay-Z

[WriterofBooks]

How fast can you drink you 32 ounce of old gold to this tune?lol

Kenyatta Hudson

Mumford High '90

[mikesmithsupersaiyan]

Rakim may have been more adept at telling a story, but there wasn't ANY rapper who could touch some of BDK's best flows.Long live the Kane!

[Badfellah]

Kane is one of the greats. His talent speaks for itself.

The minus is how he is obvious inspired by Rakim. Due to how he is inspired by Rakim, it does make him overseen.

So Kane does not reach up to the likes of Rakim, Canibus, Kool G Rap, Biggie, Big L and Ras Kass. I am talking about talent. But is right behind them, along with Monch, Nas, Guru, Common...

[makkavellie]

doodziek

[lilwaynesuck]

Yeah!!!! BDK From BK!!

[SIVANWU]

HERE I AM !!!

[train2bstrong]

Brings back good memories, saw him live in London in the 80s on the cold chillin tour with the rest of the Juice Crew, needless to say he was R-A-W!

[taylor4660]

[magicmushmandude]

[maw2134]

the greatest throwdown right here

[cheekydj]

listen, BDK reigned in his day alongside Rakim, KRS, PE, ETC. Without these guys you wouldnt have hiphop. These guys laid foundations. hE'S FROM A GOLDEN ERA.

[djseanjay]

AGREED!!! Classic tune from back in the day....

[BeckoMalecko]

[juliustheman]

[Sonofdarighthand]

SHUT UP

[Scarface9495]

lick mi nuts

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

this is HIP-HOP not "real rap"

[Hansen88a]

rap is something you do, hip hop is something you live.

/Krs

[cibuckeye1]

I first heard this on the colors soundtrack, all the songs on there, this one was the best! Anyone remember everlast's song on that one?

[YungSkull1224]

do you realize how dumb our society is, especialy that they target people in my age group (11-17) and they want you eat it.....and these teens and kids eat it up like they were starving.....im smart though those corporate labels and record companies will never decive me, i know real hip-hop when i hear it.....lupe,big l,big daddy knae, krs-one,tupac,biggie,etc

[escobar60099]

classic song

check my page for the orginal version with kool g rap

[FoolishMonkey75]

the best rappers with orignial style is big daddy, krs one, rakim, EPMD,ll cool j, special ED, BIGGIE 2Pac, BIG L,

[MiChAlThEKliKKKeR]

Big Daddy Kane, Kool G rap, Rakim, Nas, Big L, Biggie, GZA its iight... but LL Cool J?? Naaaaaw

[unclepete813]

trust me the greatest 5 rappers, is LL cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G rap, Rakim,Nas.

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

not nas or ll, the rest are legit

[crompton90]

You left out Notorious BIG, PAC, Krs-One, and Big L.

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

biggie is overrated

pac is the most overrated

[crompton90]

ill agree on pac. but not on BIG he had lyrical skill.

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

yeah he was much better

nice flow

[CheHawara]

Both were mad nice. THey had 2 different styles. I think Pac was more poetic and had more heart in his rhymes, like they way he spitted em, you could tell he really meant every word. On the other hand biggie had a unique and smooth voice and flow and was a very good storyteller witha a vivid imagination. They can't be compared like in ''who's better?'', it's more like ''who's better at what ?''

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

yes, and biggie is simply better at more shit.

pac had a weak technique, but he made some real meaningfull shit, but all that thug life bullshit is garbage.

[Scarface9495]

i cant believe ppl still argue bout this lol, u cant really compare them, both way different styles, biggie had a nicer flow and cud spit, and 2pac rapped about real shit more of a poet

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

2pac is apathetic poet and a pathetic raper,

[Scarface9495]

lol yea thats wat i was tryna say

[hatchetswinger79]

obviously you guys never heard of underground rap.. esham be runnin' shit down in detriot!

[Icedrunk1]

Not2, True, but the young fools won't ever make you do what I just did, cuz I paused a classic cut to remind you of the garbage they're playing...

[Ty0906]

its too bad half the hip-hop culture is dead, we need evryone alive to put out a strictly hip hop show real hip hop show these new suckas whatsup

[Not2Shaby]

Soulja boy did not single handedly damage hip hop. MTV, BET and our local radio stations are playing a part to.

[Jrobinson2009]

MC List You Gotta See This!!!!

[goukiller14]

He's the real fuckin rap legend yo! damn he's good!

[The4one4you4slept4on]

[michelvanstralen]

Ssssssshhhhhit ... Time flies !

[Snagdaddy]

God bless the child who can hold his own .....

[blakstar2]

marley marl released a record with KRS ONE a while back?

type hip hop lives into the search.

[SlashFan60]

it's a good album, krs one is the man

[SlashFan60]

Im aware, i was referring to blakstars comment

[vicknathan10]

marley marl, juice crew, whatever happened to those guys? I saw Biz Markie in Men in Back 2 - now that was surreal.

[derpanzer76]

this one takes me waaaay back.

[HAFA74]

Big Daddy was smooth with a hard edge all at the same time. B.D.K. and Rakim were my faves back in the day.

[nastygrenadian]

I can remember when I bought this tune. Damn those were the days

[bactafucup6969]

everyone makes these top list of mc's but they always forget about kane

[juliustheman]

Yeah, thats true...

But on my list I got him,alwayz coz he is the best!!!

[sledgehammer57]

I came upon this by chance and I'm glad I did. This WAS Rap! The early days of hip-hop were the glory days, when lyrics, rhymes and smooth beats all came together and got your soul jumpin'. At the risk of sounding old, I'm convinced that todays hip-hop (and rock & roll) is just "Fischer-Price".

[capikuu]

DAMN, this brings be back to the days when girls wore spandex biker shorts, hoop earrings and we thought they looked fly... The cats on the block rocked Nike suits, with Nike Air sneaks, three or four finger rings and thick rope chains, late 80's in NYC was da shit, the summers were BUGGED OUT!

[arzell]

Hell yea, I remember that shit (vaguely because I was born in '85). Don't forget about the Reebok Pumps, I remember I was rockin 'em, along with a hi-top fade with the tail in the back! I'm from the CHI and in the summertime it was live in '89!

[djmoca75]

respect.

[azzy1971]

Second to none! tunes that will never die.

[JRock005]

What's the sample from..

[tbarretojr]

Sounds like something from James Brown.

[divineoverlord1990]

mama feel good

[JAMCLADAGGA]

ONE REAL ILL NIGGA

[nuff73]

A goddamn classic!...hands down!

[nakill]

This was ahead of its time, took me months if not years to perfect the flow back in the day:

You wanna battle on the microphone/bring your own casket and tomb stone/and iam a preach you funeral tell me who the world/could ever come wid more/i get raw......

[itkirkeyboy]

legandery song

[jesse1429]

When you know that i'll smoke you up like a blunt

I'm genuine like gucci, raw like sushi

To stage a rage is what rap did to me

To make me want to create, chaos and mayhem

Cold rock a party, until the a.m.

I'll make a muscle, grab the mic and hustle

While you stand dazed and amazed, i bust a

Little rhyme with authority, superiority

[h03Bot]

im not being racist or any thing but i`d think and Indain or an African American would look good in a picture when there baked out of there minds

[BahamasIllestMC]

"who in the world"..."funeral" compound syllabul sounds combine....nigga just rhymed to totally words that dont sound like they should rhyme! CLASSIC!

[bapes8]

lyrical mastery

[incognito1906]

I agree, I don't listen to hip hop anymore either it justs all sounds the same now. Everyone coming out with a new dance for a song, so whack!

[xaznbeaverx]

why stop listening just listen to the old hits...

[SoulBrother330]

One of the best of big daddy,the grand master of rap

[mimi25756]

miss it too! I don't even listen to hip hop anymore

[Trumixaa]

Its amazing I hear all the time kats saying "why thefuck is it not like this nowadays whats going on????" and with all of us thinking like this how the hell is this shmit being sold and played over the airways. it seems all you have to do is find a nursery rhyme and your a so called rapper. muck rappers bring back the MC's

[tombstone999]

Word!!

[funkbrother216]

I'll preach your funeral

Tell me "who in the world".....

Now come on! Who would have thought of that? BDK is pure genius. He invents ways to make things rhyme. He changed the concept of lyricism for good.

[The900Number]

used to be my favorite joint back in the days

[cptdc]

why thefuck is it not like this nowadays whats going on???? u tell me>>>

[537semigod]

record companys got greedy
