Kane is 1of the few golden age mcs that have grown old gracefully.I dont sense an ounce of bitterness.Most cats would've ripped Jay and said since they pit him on they feel he shouldve done more like give em a mansion n some mills in the account.Kane just takes everything in stride.Although imo Jay shouldve done more.

Now this is a guy y'all should interview more often.

Everybody's on some ish! LOL. Here's some knowledge for you on Kane: BDK is still currently touring nation and worldwide... does shows, all around, all year long. He's made a collective album called 'Las Supper - Back to the Future', just last year... it's an an old school soul/hip hop fusion album with live band... and his lyrics and flow are STILL, always... on point. He drops singles, every year, a few of them... with various hip hop artists, features and his own singles... just not a new solo album, since 98's Veteranz Day'. Don't get it twisted... he doesn't need Jay-Z's money... Kane's been doing this for over 26+ years and is enjoying his life and music He does it his way and is successful at it. Just 'cause he isn't in the media coverage, 24-7 like Sean Carter's life is, doesn't mean he's not eating right. He's doing great. Hov, pays respect... every now & then to the forefathers of the game (as proven with the Hot 97 Summer Jam & Barclays Center cameos). And besides all of that... he's one of the most down to earth, great people in Hip Hop, and in general... who really gives his all, in his performances and takes the time for his real fans.

From brian pumper to lord jamar to the mighty Big daddy kane. Dj vlads gt the whole spectrum.

That Jay-Z line was a shout out to Kane, not a diss. It was about people imitating his style. Rappers trying to look like Jay-Z (hat tilted, chains, swag) the way they tried to look like Kane in the 90's.

As articulate and smooth spoken as Kane is, why did he stutter so much during the answer about the eyebrow story that Jay-Z gave? Not trying to create anything, but I have to admit, it makes me wonder...

The Jay-Z reference doesn't make as much sense when you leave out the set-up bars. Instead of starting at "I seen the same thing happen to Kane" start at the bars that set that line up. "...then I skated to 4 (million sold) before I went on tour, I came back and it's plain you niggas ain't rapping the same, fuck the flow you jacking our slang, I seen the same thing happen to Kane". When you get the whole picture it makes a lot more sense and there's no way you could take it as a diss. Niggas bit everything about Kane, from the slang to the flow to the look. Jay was simply saying niggas were biting his style in the same way.

Damn just like in Stars Wars episode 1 when Qui Gon was killed by Darth Maul and Obi Won had to avenge his death. The apprentice surpassed the master. I wish Jaz and Jay would do more records together after "jigga what". A Jaz/Jay, Jay/Biggie, Jaz/Jay/Biggie album together would epic omg. Somebody sign him up asap. Hate seeing great artists not get they shine.

Kane and Jay the same age lol

The Pioneer.

Big daddy Kane was the sh%t back in the day ain't no have steppin is a classic, this dude is still smooth today these young cats could learn a lot listening to this guy. He put Jay-Z on when he was a nobody. Jay-z should get in touch with Big daddy Kane invite this man to his California Mansion or out to lunch or something, you never forget the people who gave you your start in life.

Long live the Kane. The REAL G.O.A.T. right there.

No arguments here, Kane is one of the best!

Gotta respect Kane

A lot of people keep saying Jay wouldn't have made it without this and that person. He would have because he started his OWN LABEL when nobody wanted to sign him. I heard Damon say that out his own mouth. Sure, Jay may have hopped on a few cats records before that but it wasn't life changing money. Maybe rocafella start up money off that and other hustles at the most. And then he stayed consistent to this day.
