  Big Daddy Kane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kane was responsible for jump-starting and being the archtype for the career of Jay-Z, now a hugely commercially successful rapper who got his start as Kane's hypeman.
Kane is known for his incredible ability to syncopate over faster hip-hop beats, despite his asthmatic condition (he is acknowledged as one of the pioneering masters of fast-rap.) His sense of style is renowned and set a number of early-1990s hip-hop trends (high-top fades, cuts in the right eyebrow and four-finger rings).
Widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers during the "golden age" of hip hop (1986-1994), Kane's experimentation with RandB beats and his alignment to the Five Percent faction drew criticism.

 Y2Hiphop.com: V4.0: The Rebirth
Kane was one of the few emcees that influenced a generation and shaped the image of what a true emcee is all about.
The pimp/player persona, the extravagant lifestyle, his unique style of flipping words like it was nothing, his smooth flow and remarkable lyricism; it was all Kane's long before a slew of imitators would latch onto the style and make it their own.
Long before Shawn Carter was Jigga, long before Biggie was the king of New York, long before Ja Rule was winning the hearts of ladies all across the country, long before Fabolous was spitting metaphors and punch lines, long before all of that Kane stood.

Kane possessed a prodigious rhyming technique honed from numerous B-boy battles; he could also be an Afrocentric consciousness-raiser versed in the philosophy of the Nation of Islam's Five Percent school, or a smooth urban soul crooner whose singing was no match for his talents as an MC.
Kane's first major misstep came with the 1991 album Prince of Darkness, a mellower, more R&B-based collection that failed to play to the rapper's strong suits; however, he maintained his sex-symbol status by posing for Madonna's notorious 1992 photo book Sex, as well as Playgirl magazine.
Kane moved to the MCA label for 1994's Daddy's Home, and dabbled in an acting career with appearances in Mario Van Peebles' 1993 fl Western Posse and 1994's Gunmen.

 TrouserPress.com :: Big Daddy Kane
A pivotal figure in one sphere of the mid-'80s rap scene, Brooklyn's Big Daddy Kane (Antonio Hardy) is the quintessential smooth operator, an influential party MC (and would-be '70s soul crooner) with a convincing hard- edged style and an inconsistent, occasionally dismal, lyrical outlook.
Produced by Marley Marl, Long Live the Kane lists the gold-wearing ladykiller's many talents and achievements with more skill than wit and includes an entertaining goof with longtime associate Biz Markie as well as an ill-advised stab at singing ("The Day You're Mine").
When he's not engaging in raw boasts and putdowns (some of which recycle rhymes from the first LP), Kane's raps attack racism and self-destruction, promote pride and celebrate the next generation (in the reggae-styled "Children R the Future").

 Big Daddy Kane
Sure, the beats were still solid and Kane still managed to deliver more of his trademark rhymes, but he was beginning to lose that hardcore edge which propelled him to Hall of Fame status in "Long Live the Kane".
With each successive release, the quality of Kane's rhymes and delivery were decreasing to accompany the much slower and less complex style of music which appealed to the much larger R&B pop audience.
This was very unfortunate for Kane, as his true audience, the underground hip-hop crowd, was beginning to disown him completely, lablelling him as a sellout.

 Big Daddy Kane : Long Live the Kane - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Even though he spends a good 90% of the album boasting about his skills and abilities on the microphone, and cutting those of other MCs, Big Daddy Kane consistently proves himself a thrilling artist on his debut album, Long Live the Kane, one of the most appealing creations from the original new school of rap.
There are missteps here, to be sure -- especially "The Day You're Mine," on which Kane casts himself as a loverman over a stilted drum machine and lackluster, cheesily seductive singing (offering a glimpse of the particular corner into which he would eventually paint himself).
Although his next album would be nearly the artistic equal of the debut -- and, in many ways, even bettered it -- Big Daddy Kane would never sound as compelling or as fresh as on this first effort.
