BIG DADDY KANE 101:LONG LIVE THE KANE

BIG DADDY KANE 101:LONG LIVE THE KANE!!!
Said to be the only contender for RAKIM'S "GOD-FATHERLY" THROWN, BIG DADDY KANE'S miraculous flow was said to be and is the thing of legend!!!Especially when he first came out!!!The name Kane was an acronym for King Asiatic Nobody's Equal and he fought to keep it true.BIG DADDY KANE and RAKIM were said to be so evenly matched in the begining that people tried and tried and tried to force a battle between these two Lyrical overlords but both are said to have had too much respect for each other as five percenters.BIG DADDY KANE'S first album 1987's LONG LIVE THE KANE would produce such golden hit's as "AINT NO HALF STEPPIN" wearing his infamous "Silver suite" and rockin his trademark "CAMEO" hair cut, and also the unbeleiveable single "RAW"!!!He then followed up by his next album 1989's "IT'S A BIG DADDY THING" wich produced one of his greatest hit's "LOVERMAN", "SMOOTH OPERATOR", and "I GET THE JOB DONE" Here is where RAKIM and BIG DADDY began to differ.BIG DADDY KANE was #1 a RAPPER #2 a LADIES MAN and # 3 he actually could DANCE along with his dancers Scoob Lover and Scrap Lover!!!Also as one of the founding member's of the JUICE CREW, KANE had a lot to live up to and carry.Ultimately KANE chose the Ladies over everything else and by his third album even the title said it all 1990's "A TASTE OF CHOCOLATE" KANE began to dance & romance and actually made one of the biggest mistep's ever wearing a lepord skinned CAPE!!!LOL!!He would release 2 more albums 1994's Daddy's Home, and his farewell album, Veteranz Day.He would however bounce back and start acting in Mario Van Peebles' 1993 black Western Posse!!! Now this was the cool that represented BIG DADDY KANE!!!Their are other thing's of questionable value I could mention but I would rather stick to remembering KANE as the man that tought us how to be "RAW" and that "AINT NO HALF STEPPIN"!!! WORD IM READY!!!
