Big Daddy Kane

The likes of Jay Z, Common and Black Thought regularly note the impact Kane has had on their understanding of the technical side of emceeing, never hesitating to place Kane in the upper echelon of hip hop history.

Like rap, like hip-hop? Like pop, like metal? Be a kid, like The Wiggles? Big Daddy Kane will show you a good time.

While younger fans of other genres will over have to settle for tribute bands or wait for reunions tours that may never come, the top MCs of yesteryear have proven time and time again that they can tear up the stage regardless of age.

As Big Daddy Kane stepped on stage and immediately into "Nuff Respect" and then two tracks later ripping his verse from Marly Marls' "Symphony" it became clear that it was going to be that kind of night.
