Big Daddy Kane on Unsung tomorrow...

[House4Life]

Should be very interesting...

[RAS]

Looking forward to viewing this one...

[Mike Barnes]

Househead, Hopefully/LOL, Kane will build on how he used to write most of Shante's rhymes/LOL, Along with why Kane was not in the actual video for, 'The Symphony', Featuring, Kane, Craig G, Kool G.Rap, Master Ace, Well, Kane filmed his part of the video in the Studio with Marley in New York, While Craig G, G.Rap, Marley, Master Ace shot they're parts of the video, 'The Symphony',

In upstate New York near Bear Mountain in 1988('The Symphony', Was directed by Lionel Martin/The Vid Kid on Video Music Box and Ralph McDaniels), Also, I'm very sure Kane will not build about his battle with a cat by the name of Jazzy Fresh from Philadelphia, Which took place right infront of The Rooftop(Legendary hiphop spot on 155thst and 8thave in Harlem, Right across the street from the Rucker), The Kane vs Jazzy Fresh battle took place in 1987 via Biz Mark soupin up the battle/LOL, They're

Was no winner of loser during the Kane vs Jazzy Fresh battle at The Rooftop in Harlem in 1987, Though, Kane almost went through every rhyme on his album, 'Long live the Kane', In 1988/LOL, Hopefully/LOL, Kane will build about his almost potential battle with the Lyrical God(Rakim), In 1989(Which was souped-up by Eric B and his brother/LOL, On the low, Kane was heavily

Influenced by Caz(Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush 4), During the late 70's/early 80's, Infact, The cat who was one of the very first MC's to have mad witty rhymes was Special K(Treacherous 3) in 1979, Who we're very big influences on Kane too, Kane is one of the few MC's who could make plates with R/B artists(Exhibit A:Patti Labelle, Barry White, Blue Magic, Along with

Kane making plates with Jus-Ice, KRS-One, Chuck D, Kool Moe Dee, Etc, Kane came up in an era in the early 80's, We're a cat had to rhyme via rockin a party first, Opposed to rhyming on mixtapes that have put mad golf-ball Rappers onstage during the 90's/2000's, Kane is one of the very few MC's that other MC's do not want to perform behind on a show(Along with Kool Moe

Dee, KRS-One, Kool G.Rap, Infact, Certain hip-hop headliners during the late 80's/early 90's, Would sometimes open up a show or perform before Kane, KRS-One and Moe(Kool Moe Dee), Because of the potential of headlining rapper getting boo'ed off the

Stage/LOL, On the low, Moe(Kool Moe Dee), Has always stated that if Kane would have battled Rakim in 1989, Rakim would have won the battle on Wax(Records), But, Kane would have demolished Rakim live(And i would have to agree with Moe on that/LOL).

Much Respect

Touched on everything but that battle with Jazzy, Rakim and what happen to his dancers..
Didn't know he put Jay Z on..

[Fletch]

Dumb question: was Kane really the first "speed-rapper" ("Set it off")

[Mike Barnes]

House4life, Jaz was the first cat to put Jay-Z on when they both met one-another at Marcy Projects in Brooklyn in 1985, My man, Infact, Jaz and Jay-Z made a plate called, 'H.P. Gets Busy SP 7', By High Potent, Featuring, Jaz, Jay-Z, Joy and Easy L.B. in 1986, My man, Though, Kane had his record deal with Cold Chillin in 1987, Before Jaz had his deal with EMI in 1989, So Jay-Z

Was rhyming with Jaz before Kane took Jay-Z on tour to step on-stages in 1990, My man, Infact, Jay was down with the Plate, 'Hawaiian Sophie', By Jaz(Though, Jay-Z was not rhyming, Money was in the video), Infact, Jay was rhyming on the plate, 'The Originators', By Jaz in 1990, So, Kane was the first cat to take Jay on-tour and step on-stages in 1990, But, Jaz is

The first cat to put Jaz down(And, Jay will admit this, Even though he hates to admit this, My man/LOL), Fletch, Moe(Kool Moe Dee), Was the cat who created the fast-style of rhyming in 1978, My man, Though, Cats like the Furious 5, Mean Machine, Etc, Bit off of Moe's style of fast rhyming during the early 80's, Moe was the very first cat to create the art of rhyming very fast, My

Man, Also, The Treacherous 3's plate, 'New Rap Langauge', From 1980, Featuring, Spoonie-Gee, Was the first hiphop plate, Featuring cats rhyming very fast(On-beat with proper diction too, My man/LOL), Fletch, The Treacherous 3, Plus Spoonie-Gee(Who was an original member of the Treacherous 3 in 1978 with Moe and LA-Sunshine), We're way ahead of they're time

Rhyming live and especially on , 'New Rap language', Featuring Spoonie-Gee in early 1980, My man, Fletch, I will always state that the Treacherous 3 is the all-time best hiphop crew when it comes to rhymes, My man, Fletch, Moe is puttin in much work rhyming on, 'the New Rap Language', My man/LOL, Also, Fletch, I have a tape featuring the Treacherous 3 rhyming at a Zulu

Nation throwdown in the Bronx in 1982, Well, Fletch, The rhymes that Moe is spitting, Along with Moe spittin his rhymes mad fast, On-beat with proper diction, Would make you shake your head with amazement, My man/LOL.

Yeah, I know that one of them died of something.

[Mike Barnes]

Ras, house4life, One of Kane's dancers psssing away is news to me(Scoop and Scrap we're performing with Kane last year in New York), Also, the only young lady that Kane could not sex-up was Monie(Monie Love), Who Kane tried to push-up on while Monie was on-tour with Kane in 1990, Infact, Monie stated in an interview, That she did not like Kane's promiscious ways with

Young ladies that Kane was scoopin up on-tour in 1990, Also, Monie stated that she was on Scrap's love-muscle anyway/LOL, One of my favorite plates featuring Kane, Is, 'Erase Racism', Featuring, Kane, Kool G.Rap and Biz Mark from 1990.

I thought I heard he passed away? Plus he wasn't one the VH-1 Hip Hop Honors & wasn't interviewed for Unsung>

[soulman]

Question for you Mike...I saw Eric B on the show but Rakim made no comment...for me I think rakim had the greatest lyrics of any rapper at that time. Is there beef between rakim and Kane?

[Steven Stewart]

I thought I heard he passed away? Plus he wasn't one the VH-1 Hip Hop Honors & wasn't interviewed for Unsung>

I think you may mean Trouble T-Roy, who danced with Pete Rock and CL Smooth

[House4Life]

Naw I know he passed...

[Mike Barnes]

House4life, Kane would have built about Scoop passing away during the VH1 awards show and TV-one interview, My man(Unless they're is static between Scoop and Kane or maybe Scoop is upnorth with his, My man), Soulman, As far as i know, Kane and Rakim are crew(Maybe, Rakim could not attend any interview process in regards to Kane's TV-One interview, Due to prior

Commitments, Though, I was surprised that KRS and Chuck-D we're not on the TV-One program building about Kane too(Cats have prior commitents that they have to attend too, Thus putting a cat in the position of not being able to make it to build about a cat via an interview program like a TV-One show, My man.

She dropped the story about it in the D Nice produced series "True Hip Hop Stories"

[LEONARD REMIX RROY]

I saw his story on unsung and I recall him saying "I was not brought up to call woman Bitches & Hoes". Then they started showing old pics of NWA. It was great to see someone in the business (in an off way) say what I started saying over 20 years ago...NWA came on the scene and killed rap music as we knew it and turned it into GARBAGE!!!!

I was never into rap / hip hop in a huge was but when NWA came out, I was done with it for the most part.

Gangsta this, gangsta that...2 PAC dead, Biggie Dead and all for what?

What did LL Cool J say - it's cool to battle on records but once you take it outside the studio...it's time to quit.

I just hope they're by the same father because she was saying she didn't approve of Kane's promiscuous lifestyle"...I'm still in love with her tho

[Mike Barnes]

Remix, Kane is an contradictory cat with his, In regards to Kane stating that he was not raised to call young ladies bitches and Hoes, Yet, Kane never hid the fact that he was leading a very promiscuous lifestyle, My man/LOL, Infact/LOL, Kane has stated that he was down with the Gods(5 Percenters), During the 80's/90's, Yet, I've never heard Kane state his righteous name, Along with the photos of Kane sexing it up with

Madonna in 1991, Yet The Gods(5-Percenters), Do not associate with white folk/LOL, Kane's a mad funny cat with his, Yet nobody has ever stepped to Kane for his lifestyle opposed to his statements and righteous beliefs, My man/LOL, Remix, How did you feel about Schooly-D when he made his plate, 'PSK(Parkside Killers), In 1986, My man, Remix, AZ from uptown(Big-time drug dealer from Harlem during the 80's), Pulled

NWA's skirt up in regards to NWA soupin shit up about being mad live on the streets, My man/LOL, Infact, AZ had static with NWA(Which never esculated Into, 'Pap,Pap', 'Pap, Because that would have been game-over for NWA, My man/LOL, Remix, Have you ever heard this plate by AZ's crew, 'Mobstyle', During the early to mid 90's, My man.
