I remember meeting the Teacher a few years ago when he was performing a show at the Abby in Orlando Florida. Before the show KRS and his entire crew came in to dine at my family's Thai restaurant. It was like a party of 15. His wife was also there. I went over and thanked him for all his contributions to hip hop. He was grateful and appreciated all the love and respect the entire restaurant was showing him. He ask who cooked his meal which was Salmon and stirfry vegetables. I told him it was my mother and that made him appreciated it even more. I told him my mother is 75 yrs old and she still wants to work everyday. He ask to meet her, she agreed to come out and meet him. They kick it off right at the first moment she came out. He ask about our culture and told her how much he respected our tradition. He told her that he was honored that she actually cooked his meal for him. My mother was so grateful that she even gave him a small Buddhist charm for good luck. In return he also gave her a African good luck beaded necklace. He even gave my 2 nephews necklaces as well. We took pictures and I even did shots of Sake with them. He also invited me and the whole staff to go backstage and watch him perform. That was a really cool experience. I'll never forget that day. Thank You Teacher aka KRS One.. If you're ever back in Orlando to perform or just visiting it would be our honor to serve you and your family again. This time we'll drink more Sake to help you loosen up 😆.

I saw these guys in the 80’s in two separate concerts. Both of them were headliners of course. Godfathers of the game and lyrics for your ass! One of the greatest eras in Hip Hop!!

When you don’t have a lot of chaos on the stage, it makes a big difference. Great performances by both.

I remember big Daddy being so smooth in his albums. Still is

[@lifefreedom7269]

I'd say It was Kane's night overall, although they were both great. Kane's technical flow, breath control and proper enunciation of words did it for me. Than man was a lyrical surgeon on stage!

[@CoachMitchellh]

I agree. KRS was trying too hard and even a bit mean spirited. Kane was more relaxed.

[@ODK321]

While this is dope, looking at the comments most people seemed to miss the significance of this. Back in the '80s, BDP was beefing on wax with Marley Marl's Juice Crew. Hence, BDP's " The Bridge Is Over" which dissed Marley Marl, Queensbridge and the Juice Crew. Big Daddy Kane was under Marley Marl and the Juice Crew (along with Biz Markie, MC Shan, Craig G, Kool G Rap, Roxanne Shante, etc) They deaded it years ago but there is a story behind picking these 2 and it's not just because both are rap legends (which they are)

[@j33man07111]

Yea but Kane and KRS were cool. Marley asked Kane to get at KRS , Kane told him noo. KANE then said KRs and Ms. Melody helped him move into his apt.. Kane said this in an Interview.. Notice how Kane wasn't mentioned in that Diss... This was a classic either way... It would've been crazy if Shane would've done this VS.. Shan don't have enough tracks though..

[@missayawk]

Who remembers when dudes used to say: " I dont wanna be that 30 year old rapper" Very true.It was a young person's game, but if you can spit, you can spit as long as your mind is still sharp.Im just glad to see these guys who are my contemporaries still alive and still doing it lyrically.I always praise Kris and Shan for keeping the beef lyrical, because the beef was ugly and if dudes back then were sensitive and the mentality wasn't to slay with lyrics alotta young lives would've been lost prematurely.Everytime I see Kris I think of this and Kane who has been friends with Kris since the Juice Crew days might've even got hit with a stray in the crossfire.Thank you God for keeping these men alive so that we can live to see a day like this.

[@sankofaafari4374]

Hip Hop needs to evolve and get out of this “young forever” mindset. No other music art form has people worrying about the artists age. If your 50yo and still have your regular voice, there’s no reason why you still can’t be performing music. Rock n roll and Jazz and people making music in their 20’s to 70’s. Hip Hop should be the same.

[@missayawk]

@@sankofaafari4374 Amen.....slowly coming around to it because some of our OGs are in their 50s and 60s.In our early days late 70s and early 80s we had nobody in their 30s.

[@wonderwalker5797]

@@sankofaafari4374 Same thing I've said to younger people that said something about some rappers being 50 and still rapping. We won't have a legacy to look forward to for concerts if we tell them to go sit down somewhere. If we're not dead we all are going to get older and young people are not the only ones that love music and can do it.
