Big Daddy Kane

The Juice Crew "Mr. Magic Tribute"

 

 

This is dope as hell to me. Most of the members of the Juice Crew (Kool G Rap & Masta Ace are absent for some reason) come together to pay homage to the legendary Mr. Magic.

Treats #68 - Big Daddy Kane WBLS Promo & Marley Marl's In Control Mixshow (DVD Trailor & Audio)

 

 

This is a Rap Treat for two reasons. The first is the news that Hot Chillin' is releasing a DVD full of footage from Marley Marl's legendary In Control Mixshow on WBLS (the radio show he named his In Control Vol. 1 Juice Crew compilation after). I jacked a link from Old School Hip-Hop Tapes of the show if you're not familiar. In the late 80's there was no Hot 97's or Power 106's where Hip-Hop was on the radio all day so shows like In Control were one of the few places you could here all the newest and freshest shit. The second reason this is a Rap Treat is the promo that Big Daddy Kane did for Marley Marl and WBLS back in '88. It's been floating around Blogland for a while but for some reason I just heard it and wanted to add it to the archives. This one is strictly for my old school Hip-Hop heads.

BDK - The Big Daddy Kane Story (Video Teaser)

 

 
Are you kidding me? Big Daddy Kane is easily top 5 MC's in my books (if not #1 but I know that is very debatable), and now there is a documentary about his life coming out? I can't believe I didn't hear about this until now. This is the teaser for BDK - The Big Daddy Kane Story. Go HERE for more info, and if you're new and not up on the greatness that is Kane then grab the 35+ minute all BDK mix below.

Treats #57 - Marley Marl's The Juice Crew EP

 
 
This is the reason I took down the Kool G. Rap "I Declare War" Rap Treat - Marley Marl's The Juice Crew EP that the G. Rap song is original from. Usually I wouldn't post a whole release like this, but since it only came out on wax and was limited to 350 copies (which are all sold out) I figured it's cool this time around. Plus, it's dope as fuck and I'm a Cold Chillin' junkie so here you go. Big up DWG for even think of putting this out and making it happen.
 
This is a collection of never released before material that Marley Marl had left over from Juice Crew recording sessions from the late 80's. The G. Rap "I Declare War" record is left over from the Road To Riches sessions. The Super Kids record is a very young Tragedy the Intelligent Hoodlum and was recorded the same week as "Eric B Is President" & "The Bridge". Big Daddy Kane's "For Your Own Concern" has been floating around Blogland as a radio rip, but this is the straight off the master version. The song was intended for Long Live The Kane but according to the press release it "some how never made it". The second Kool G. Rap record is "Enter The Dragon" which came out in 1996 but with a not so good remixed beat that wasn't the original Marley Marl version. This version is the original. Craig G's record "Drop A Bomb On Em" was recorded sometime around In Control Vol. 1, but like the rest of the EP never seen the light of day. I don't even know what to say. This shit here is the definition of a Rap Treat.
 
I gotta give my man English Bob mega props for this one. His record, his rip, and he's the reason you're getting it. I never got my hands on a copy but if anybody has one I'll pay!

Big Daddy Kane on Into The Night w/ Rick Dees


This video is why MeaningOfDope is among the illest blogs in all of Blogland, they throw up video that you can't find anywhere. This Big Daddy Kane performance is a perfect example. I'll let the MeaningOfDope boys set up this one...

"Let’s just review the facts. A young, extremely dapper Kane is performing It’s Hard Being The Kane on this random show complete with Mister Cee, Scoob and Scrap and 2 female dancers. Not only does he bless us with a live and flawless performance, but they break it down and rock a full synchro’d dance routine to close it out. Rappers used to get down for theirs, no doubt!"

Big Daddy Kane 20th Anniversary Show (Video)


This video is purdy dope. It's of Kane's 20th Anniversary party that was held at BB King's last week in NYC. It features footage of the live show with DJ Mister Cee on the decks and an interview with Juan Epstein (Paul Rosenberg & Cypher Sounds) mixed in. If you don't know why Kane is celebrating then click HERE! And if you don't know Big Daddy Kane's music then click HERE!! Long live the Kane.

Big Daddy Kane - Long Live The Kane 12"s

 
 
"Now, the name Kane is superior to many people;
It means King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal.
I hate to brag, but damn I’m good!
And if mics were a gun, I’d be Clint Eastwood.
And if rap was a game, I’d be MVP:
Most Valuable Poet on the M-I-C.
And if rap was a school, I’d be the principal.
Aw fuck it, the Kane is invincible.
To be specific, I may die one day
But my rhymes will remain like a heiroglyphic.
It’s a certain special skill, that takes much practice.
I got it good; apparently you lack this.
So in turn, sit back and learn,
Listen close, this is for your own concern.
Let me show ya, exactly how it’s properly done:
Lights, camera, action!"

BONUS Big Daddy Kane:
I believe this is a special on Kane that Muchmusic aired ack in the day. It has footage of Kane at the Concert Hall in Toronto from '88, plus interviews, videos, and Scoob & Scrap! Muchmusic has the illest archives. Somebody needs to unleash all those concerts they filmed from the late 80's/early 90's. Courtesy TheMeaningOfDope.
