Big Daddy Kane on Being in the Middle of MC Shan vs KRS-One Beef

[@antoineariel1178]

1 of the greatest rappers ever.....

[@trwsound856]

BDK my man my mellow!

[@selease]

Ever!!!!!!

[@nottnowleemelone1971]

HIP HOP BEEF WAS PART OF THE ART BACK THEN. IT WAS LYRICAL , NOT PHYSICAL. IT WAS ABOUT WHO WAS THE BEST MC , NOT WHO WAS MORE STREET CREDIBLE.

[@blessedbyiam7756]

EXACTLY! #Classic #Wordsmiths

[@clownniggafinder8913]

cats still had beef it just wasnt as highly publicised or glamourised like it is now..more focus on that now than good songs good lyrical content..

[@maxhatty]

Until KRS beat up PM dawn on stage. Lmao! KRS to this day is still out there doing his thing. Selling new cd's autographed and stuff. Covid kinda messed with everyone's game. KRS found a way around it. My show's are cancelled due to Covid? Cool. I'm gonna release some shit and sign it.

[@reneejones8196]

Correct. Now everyone killing each other

[@space_dogg]

The physicality was behind the scenes. Kool herc got stabbed and coke la rock had the burner and wanted to smoke dude. Hip-Hop been violent. They said If you went into the bathroom at these first hip-hop parties they took everything from you. money, drugs, jewelry, even nice shoes or leather coats

[@FrancoAvila1ER]

R.I.P SCOTT LA ROCK.Damn i would love to see that 80's American vs Canadian battle!

[@ISROCK]

Kane has a unique way of behaving when being interviewed, looking down when questions are being asked, and looking around when answering.

[@betenoire8494]

hair is clean

[@juanwitherspoon1191]

Seriously!

[@puffandpass7438]

His hair looks like a afro sheen ad and I know ya'll remember afro sheen hair care products

[@robertmitchell9529]

That Just For Men work wonders! Not to mention he have a dope barber.

[@pbee73]

These candy ass rappers of today can not touch Kane, KRS, Rakim and Kool G

[@EricAllenJett]

Legendary interview, and it's cool to know Krs and Kane were and still are friends....

[@anthonysalcedo3740]

his hair looks like the foam part on a microphone

[@maggiemadrigal2418]

Stf.up

[@anthonywarren1317]

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@montypython4743]

LOL Right!

[@emeraldthunda536]

TOP COMMENT NO DOUBT!

[@revealwhatsrealministries1251]

You stupid but right 😂

[@RobertoTheOriginalManFromTheA]

Ain't nothing like these classic music or street stories.

[@cooljoescott]

One of the Greatest lyricist of all times

[@YakThaWiseman72]

"I'm not getting into this that's between him and Shan, Yo man don't even talk to me" lol

[@juniorxeastny8169]

At the time, I was going to a catholic high school in Queens when The Bridge is Over was dropped. I remember everybody feeling......"damn! we have been dissed hard! but this beat is so good, we have to agree!" I remember as (wannabe hard) teenagers, in the 1986, it was always "embarrassing" to be Queens/Long Island or god forbid Newark,NJ. At school, kids would brag about having cousins or family members who lived in Harlem, The Bronx or Brooklyn- as if that made them cool by some association. Ha, we were so silly back then! I smile at the memories tho!

[@boogiedownbrklyn8626]

JuniorXEastNY so tru lol

[@tradedate]

Ay. Fall back on Newark bruh. This was before Redman and Naughty.

[@nardosantiago5245]

JuniorXEastNY I'm from Hempstead L.I an I'm 40 we ain't never been embarrassed abt be from L.I so I dnt know what the fuck you talking abt. Maybe yall weird niggaz from Queens, but dnt mix L.I niggaz into that shit ...

[@mymanhemi3610]

damn, all these years I've never thought about how that song affected the kids from Queens.

[@factnotfiction3544]

Even worse the beat was done by Marley Marl.. someone stole his drum machine

[@CrookitLetta]

Loving the Kane interviews. Keep'em coming. Get Rakim up there, too.

[@Kwaku211]

KRS and Kane would seem to be cool peeps together...so this isn't much of a surprise.

[@josephswabe5584]

Kane's barber must be a legend in the hood.

[@andrechristian4202]

Kane will always be in my top 5 just off the Raw Remix and Set It Off. pure fire. Kane was a lyrical beast. Fact

[@CTSFive]

No dislikes for the KING

[@Troublesome2008]

CTSFive You jinxed it.

[@steveread106]

l know,wanted that for him too,he's very humble and A very talented person.The stories l could tell are legendary.

[@beautifulmind3503]

Kane still fine af...

[@godlyauraandthoughts4086]

I wish my line is like that when I'm 50

[@oldturntables8215]

There are a lot of rap beefs that have friends stay neutral like Kane did. WC stayed out of the Cube/Cypress hill beef because WC was cool with some Cypress Hill cats.I laughed just thinking of Ms. melodie carrying a tv under her arm. Since this was the 1980's I assume the tv was one of them small 13inch ones. Still a big screen popped in my head when he said that.

[@HoustonIsImmortal]

Kane is the GOD!! Untouchable...💯🎤

[@bjt81366]

When the bridge is over came out we in Philly went nuts. The bridge by MC Shan was so dope that track was so fly that we thought it couldn't get any better. Then KRS smashed it and nobody played it again. LOL

[@YOMO617]

😂😂

[@seydevilchick8]

That is some sweet hip hop history…movie time…those were the golden days ...

[@seanfelder3286]

Kane is in my top 10 legendary mcs

[@deemoe7301]

That was a wonderful interview with BDK! Growing up in the Bronx in the 70's & 80's, I've heard so many versions of this story. However, I think Big Daddy Kane's version was probably one of the best I've heard. Kane and Biz have never been about causing trouble anywwy. They're too cool for that. Lol. I did hear that MC Shan to this day, is still embittered about that loss from Kris. I would love to see all of them together on a discusiion panel one day soon.

[@brynellsidney3983]

The upcoming Verzuz battle between Kane and Krs brought me here.....again.

[@Americansikkunt]

This dude look like he on Cloud 9

[@H2O_Atlanta]

KRS helped Kane carry his couch... these new cats will never do that for each other.

[@llgoo740]

Facts!

[@abdulrahim2540]

Kane already knew from the gate Shan couldn't mess with KRS-One.

[@myking19.5]

King Asiatic Nobody's Equal...

[@kennethjackson9718]

Shan hated on Kane cause Kane was better then shan good choice Kane rolling with krs one shan was done off

[@thomasfulmore4526]

No shan was out first

[@roninblax]

Shan was kinda wack.

[@rahsaanhill5781]

+Ronin Blax Mushroom Cloud you crazy. Shan was that dude.

[@lolofofo8459]

Ronin Blax Mushroom Cloud no MC shan was one of the best KRS one said it himself

[@gregtanian]

if you think Shan was wack, you was not around in 85-86-87 whilst the Juice Crew was dropping bombs. Shan helped pioneer this.......

[@papermack1]

Dope interview

[@zerox4434]

Loving these Kane interviews. He's a legend in the game and at 50+ years old he still keeps his hair straight

[@letstalkwithpatrickpodcast]

He actually a year older than Jay-Z... He was born in 68

[@ghettorepublican9553]

Vlad this is the best interview hands down. We are tired of the ganster influence on rap document our history

[@johnmaveric5]

This dude hasn't aged - big up the Kane - Legend

[@likeamandistressed953]

I was just listening to Count Macula yesterday like "THIS DUDE FXCKIN SNAPPED!"

[@MAGIKORBIT]

I concur haha

[@TheEdub1]

Cala Bama Oh shit not many people know about that Prince Paul shit lol. Count Macula and the song by De La Soul were my favorites on the album.

[@frankluv]

Kane is really a smooth operator. KRS one is great too. I've always liked the both of them. I just love Kane's style though.

[@fishypeixe]

This guy is a f***ing legend. Wrath of Kane Warm it up Kane RAW Ain't no half steppin' There isn't a rapper alive with a legacy of this caliber.

[@llgoo740]

Mortal Combat

[@johnnymack8442]

I can't believe there was a time big daddy kane was unknown!

[@vedametatron]

What happened to the juice crew movie?

[@KaizerMan]

vedametatron MC Shan said it got cancelled because everyone who was in the Juice Crew kept arguing over who received how much money and they just kept arguing instead of agreeing to get the film done.

[@koollee]

Kane is the best rapper to touch the mic as far as signed artist known n the game world wide. This interview jus gave me more respect for em.U got hot artists right behind him such as Rakim and Nas (in that order) Kane held the top of the game (like Pac, 50, etc. did.................. The longest reigning artist was none other than Big Snoop Dogg tho...

[@zerotolerance5019]

koollee - Rakim behind him ? What's that shit u smokin 🚬

[@vadarklockan]

John Wall, 50.

[@OgDj2024]

Very interesting… 🤔 I’m always amazed at no matter how many times you hear a story, there’s always a part of that story that you never heard before

[@ronaldwilliams5462]

Man I was waiting for them to go ahead to head that would have been a rememberable battle all the diss songs that would have came out both of them was lyrically Superior

[@nyquil350]

That man still fine

[@PopO51968]

But Kane says he "Always" wanted to battle KRS1 instead of Rakim but he never did????????????? He said that's the battle he "Really" wanted.... I'm confused as to why he didn't eventually battle KRS1????

[@sankaragarvey5862]

He aged well

[@robertc9155]

Who else is here after Shan addressing “The new nigga” controversy? 🤣🤣🤣

[@bobafett317]

one of the kings of rap and def in the top 5!! peace out to the BK...long live the Kane!!

[@sumterblackchamberofcommer112]

Hey cuz Kane,love from Sumter SC

[@garkah]

Kane, Rakim, G Rap, KRS! Definitely the original kings of Hiphop! They can flex in any era!! If I could control anything in Hiphop? (Denis Leary Voice) It would be for them all to do a compilation album together ft guest appearances from Nas, Redman, Roc Marciano, Elzhi, Kenn Starr, Busta Rhymes, Rapsody, Ras Kass, Royce Da 5.9, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, with production from - Pete Rock, Preemo, Large Professor, Q Tip, Madlib, D J Scratch, Khrysis, Reggie Noble, 9th Wonder, Black Milk, Illmind, S1, Alchemist, Just Blaze, as well as the legendary Marley Marl! Phew....there got that off my chest.. Too much??? Not enough in my book! Hip hop...saturated and polluted as it is right now... we need something like this!!

[@thomasfulmore4526]

No the best was mc shan rakim nas ll cool j papoose

[@garkah]

Thomas Fulmore MC Shan the best? Are you a troll or are you high! Need I remind you who won the KRS Vs Shan beef? You cannot seriously say that Shan was a better lyricist than Kane. You watched the video! When Krs was going off at Shan. Who did the manager of the Juice Crew ask to end the battle? I was a big fan of Shan. but in that category...Nope! As for the rest! That's your opinion and you're welcome to it. I've got the truth!

[@thomasfulmore4526]

Mc shan was out first he had the better voice n he had rap skill take home kill that noise

[@garkah]

Thomas Fulmore So what if Shan came out first! Busy Bee came out way before Nas, Does that make Busy Bee better..come on, that's silly! Not saying Shan, didn't have skills as I was a big follower of The Juice Crew back then, and his album "Born To Be Wild was great. But then that was it, because his third album isn't really worth mentioning! The bottomline, no way is he's on par with the likes of Rakim, Kane, G Rap and KRS! And much as I hate to say it! Kill that noise got killed by the bridge is over!!

[@thomasfulmore4526]

Mc shan name all way ring bell on the hip hop who ur top ten is it mc shan or mc ren

[@mjeter11]

That is crazy. I would of never known.

[@ericford8905]

KANE!!!!! K A N E!!! NUFF RESPECT DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO KANE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!

[@robertmitchell9529]

Always been a fan of Kane.

[@RetroSmoo]

I cant find the full interview;(

[@dreal500]

big up to this legend.

[@steviedee71]

I was at that can vs USA it was actually called on the flyer New York invades Canada KRS-1 battled MC rumble from Toronto it was held at the Toronto concert hall by the promoter Ron Nelson in the 80s it was the best time and hip-hop ever!

[@roninblax]

Rumble and Strong. Then they went to England and drop "Safe".

[@steviedee71]

That's right the DJ ! He name was DJ jam on strong a white dude .

[@roninblax]

+Steviedee supermoto lol. yep. i saw them in a concert in a roller skating rink. fuck man, the 80's and 90's, nothing beats that era. remember rapcity with Michael Williams? before master T took over? Or getting a tape from a buddy who went to New york for the summer and sat buy the ghetto blaster taping Kiss FM? they didn't sell rap at Sam the record man or Mister Sound, but what we listened to we worked for. Man, times changed.

[@steviedee71]

If your from Toronto in the 80s the only source of real hip-hop came from CKLN 88.1 with Ron Nelson 1 to 4 sat Ron Nelson made hip pop possible in the 80s he brought down all the rappers from New York to the concert hall honestly if it wasn't for RON Nelson like you said you would have to have a buddy who went to New York and taped DJ Red alert on Kiss or no hip hop!

[@roninblax]

+Steviedee supermoto lol. im from out west so we had nothing. maybe a university station once a week. but i remember Ron Nelson dropped a 12" about violence around the time "self destruction" dropped. think Michie Mee was on the track.

[@BLOCKAAABLOCK]

SALUTE TO A REALLLL ONE,,, THE GOD,,, SUPREME KANE, 👑👑👑👑

[@LS-wh9rn]

KRS -1 took them out....listed the whole crew and juiced them...took Queens out until Nas came out...

[@Michelle-jz8vl]

What women didn’t have the the biggest crush on him back in the day? Shit. He still look good!

[@tr8086]

Legend

[@KontryBoy706]

Vlad should ask him about that song he did with 2Pac

[@eternalyfeful]

Kane talks about being cool wit KRS but then he acknowledges he wrote Roxanne Shante's diss song to KRS, that doesn't make sense, if I was KRS, that puts you in the beef and now it's me and you too!

[@wandahwisdom5646]

+eternalyfeful There were and ARE professional writers. There's so many out there that earn a sizable living ghostwriting for others; that don't mean they take a personal stake in any conflict at hand.

[@eternalyfeful]

+Wandah Wisdom...I hear you, I'm just saying, if I was KRS and I found out Kane wrote a diss record on me, that means he must wanna get at me too. So I'm coming at you...if I was KRS.

[@SDSOverfiend]

+eternalyfeful No.. You got it wrong.. You would end up beefing for no reason.. You can send a shot tho.

[@eternalyfeful]

+SDS Overfiend...I'm just saying how I would do if somebody ghostwrote a diss record about me, I'm dissin her and you!

[@SDSOverfiend]

eternalyfeful True.... Different strokes different folks.. KRS. Had no idea Kane did it so he dodged one. I think KRS would had said something to kane

[@inijaffar6556]

no pork on my fork no fish on my dish BDKane....

[@thedarkwarriorperspective7475]

No pork on my fork, JUST fish on my dish.

[@MrGotchacp]

The production on it was nice...

[@dawolf4274]

Ms. Melody carrying the tv ?! damn.. i knew she was a big chick, but wow! LOL

[@Farns77]

Vlad always wants the conflict, but misses the point.

[@puffandpass7438]

Kane always looks like he doesn't want to be interviewed

[@kmc1steelers998]

Big Daddy a kool F dude met him in the damn late 80s when I was a youngster and pimping aint easy was rocking.. He didn't have S to do with F Marley and Shan .. all that beef came from Marley not paying damn artist for the work they put in... This interviewer need to really stop F reaching and keep the big daddy kane up out of that S ya dig...Kane always been an upstanding dude...

[@TheDwightMamba]

I love Kane, but will never forgive him for that "free in the style" definition.

[@jesusblooregard2437]

What you mean?

[@TheDwightMamba]

@@jesusblooregard2437 when he gave that answer to "what is a freestyle?" back in the day. Now everyone but Riff Raff is hitting Sway's show with writtens, selling them as freestyles. Written is written. Freestyle isn't. That's where I stand.

[@TheDwightMamba]

@@jesusblooregard2437 like I said.... LOVE me some Kane. They just took his "free in the style" answer too literally.

[@RealBestWon]

Weird. He dissed KRS on the track "For Your Own Concern" hard.

[@anthonythomas1038]

Cute story,The blast master and him was 😎 cool .Mc Shan had a problem 🤣🤣

[@jamesiii2330]

[@ML.555]

[@solomonsmithlll9490]

McShan probably didn't like Kane because Kane was one of the hottest Lyricist ever even back then and MC Shan is mediocre to me. HE still a legend though.

[@brendanbenton587]

That's spray on hair Kane. Looks too perfect. Big up too Kane though. What happen to Little Daddy Shane?!!!

[@quincyb1119]

That ain't no spray on, lol. My cuz is his barber. You funny though

Shan was scared to walk on Kane street 🤷‍♂️

[@blockceda7193]

Roxanne shante can not get props for dissing Krs one anymore. Never knew Kane wrote that verse. No wonder why it was so hott.

[@exillens]

Kane hairline better than 25yr old dudes

[@bigj6706]

Shan knew Kane was way better than him.

[@zoniapatreece1324]

Why does it look like vlad is behind him?

[@justathought5984]

Kane should have just joined BDP.

[@JAHMALCHRIS06]

NIGGAH Shan was threatened....... kane came thru like ain't no half steppin

[@arthurjlofton]

KRS never mentioned Kool G Rap either!

[@bruhkullschop3194]

KRAZY BONE like him.

[@CGY-]

I remember when the Greek Picnic was in Philly back in 1988. Big Daddy Kane's first album was out. Public Enemy. Chubb Rock. Boogie Down Production was dropped 🔥 it was fire in a great way in the city and everything was great and people had fun. Plus it was females actually Ladies that had those cat suits on with the holes on the side like MC HAMMERS FEMALE DANCERS. MAD RESPECT TO THE ONES I DID NOT MENTION ITS JUST SO MANY. I MISS OLD SCHOOL. IN MY OPINION THIS NEW SHIT IS BULLSHIT

[@BRADLEYNAPIERKOWSKI1]
