[djfuze187]

i got so much love and respect for this man(Dana Dane) in March he sent me a shout out in mp3 for me to play at my daughters 4th birthday party..she was over the moon when she heard it,my daughter is a little bgirl..

[dpat2004]

Dana Dane with Fame was the first cassette tape I had purchased and I loved it. U can tell Dana Dane and Slick Rick grew up together. Similar styles and great strytelling abiilites. Im glad 2 see hes doin well. I know Slick Rick is really from England but him and Dana went 2 the same high school. Who cares if Dana bit off of slick rick or not. He still put out quality music and that I appreciate..

[Murdamore]

Nightmare by dana dane was the shit classic

[719kai719]

@Murdamore I loved Nightmare also.

[719kai719]

I respect his honesty and the fact that he didn't allow where he grew up to stop him from achieving his dreams. Its funny that rappers who helped to make hip hop popular didn't make as much as today's artist but it wasn't all about money.They had a real love for the ART FORM KNOWN AS HIPHOP.

[myspacedjraghkstar]

[foggakande102]

I was fourteen and I was soooooo.... In love with u.... MY wall in my room was covered in magaZine cut outs of you.

Nice to see you doing good things...Hop-Hop artists these days are more like pop stars...Tragic.

[sykesregal]

He was biting Slick Rick, tho...

[blackadam06]

He wasn't bitin' Slick Rick because they were ALL in the SAME crew at one point. That's like saying Busy Bone is bitin' Krazy Bone LOL!!

C'mon man, y'all gotta do better than this..

[Kenfolk187]

@blackadam06 actually bizzy has bit krayzie bone alot in bizzy bone rap battles bizzy has used krayzie bone verses to battle niggas in the past cus krayzie bone has killa flows peace

[thirdeyewise2]

@blackadam06

actually wikipedia said he did intentionally tried to copy slick rick's british accent.

so with all do respect he was sort of biting slick rick.

[blackadam06]

Wikipedia? LOL!!

This is the SAME site where the content can & is regularly changed by on-lookers. C'mon man, U gotta do better than that..

[thirdeyewise2]

@blackadam06

actually, if you use common sense there would not be any need to verify anything.

Slick Rick is British originally and he speaks with a British accent. Dana Dane is not British and he speaks with the same accent.

I'm from NYC, nobody talks like them unless they can't help it (Rick) or they are doing it on purpose (Dana)

kinda makes sense with or without Wikipedia.

Normally you would be right about Wiki but common sense trumps it all.

[BOBByBISHIP]

@blackadam06 they were in the Kangal Crew

[iamdekko]

@blackadam06

 but Slick Rick was actually English - not just puttin on a fake English accent like Dana.

[blackadam06]

@iamdekko

Yeah I know..

[BRINGI]

@sykesregal you should understand that no ideas original slick rick might be the first but he must got it from somewhere too like dana dane did plus these guys were doing it when hip hop was still a baby they have developed the art of storytellin in hip hop and laid down the foundation for the next one to follow so what you need to do right now is show respect and appreciation

[mrred2000]

watching this makes u see how life is so beautiful! Thru the hard times if you keep ur head up you will come thru! Love the way him and Mr.Charles interacted! Real s@#t!
