I met Floyd in the summer of 1996 in Augusta, Ga. I’d just graduated from high school and the Olympics in Atlanta was about to start. He trained in Augusta. I was working at Kroger as a bag boy, and Floyd approached us and introduced himself to us. He was very humble. He told us he was fighting in the Olympics. When he walked off we were like “man I’d whoop that dudes ass.” Little did we know that joker would’ve murdered our asses! We didn’t know any better. Lmao!

Rakim was rap when he came out, no one could come close to his writing skills, delivery, flat-out bars‼️

[@a16studios]

He changed the game, he changed music, the whole trajectory of hip-hop. After him rap became more serious, "Weak ideas, irritate my ears!" and he was the first one that made Rap seen as metaphysical to the point where he was christened the God MC. But then Kane came along a few years later and his punchlines, flow, and the fact he could spit that double-time rhyme scheme like on RAW definitely made him a worthy rival of Rakim! LOL The main reason was they were like the first true gold and platinum rappers with knowledge of self!

I agree! Because, really, it wasn't close with krs! It was a great deal of respect! Kane, recited every word to his lyrics! Every word! KRS didn't. He was sticking the mic to the crowd, who didn't know all of his songs... They were clueless, however, when Kane began to recite his lyrics, they didn't know it his song! It was awesome to see, especially for those that were unaware that Kane was such a dominant lyricist! And at the end, he showed how classy and humble he was, sharing the story of KRS and Ms. Melody, moving him into his first place! Much love brother Kane! Growth!

Thats why you battle to put an end to the speculation. If one guy doesnt want it then its done. Its a TapouT

[@supremeodom9950]

Rakim is an emcee he's not a dancer

[@7Eightyone]

@@supremeodom9950 you don't have to dance to have a live stage show. DJ Quik, Black thought, Ice Cube and Busta Rhymes don't dance either and have incredible stage presence. It's not a knock on Rakim. And you're lightweight implying that Kane isn't an MC 😐

[@supremeodom9950]

Well that's all Kane do

[@7Eightyone]

@@supremeodom9950 lol. You're talking like Kane is MC Hammer...

[@mostmost1]

I saw Rakim and Kane in concert. Rakim out performed Kane, Slick Rick, Rae and Ghost. Rakims catalog and style and RHYMES are just way too much for Kane. Krs catalog was too much for Kane also. Rakim fathered many of these guys style. Kane not dancing with scoop and scrap no more. When you spitting lyrics people reciting every rhyme, you don't have to dance, throw your hands in the air and the regular. Rakim wrapped that mic cord around his arm and put that mic to his arm vein and that beat drop for microphone fiend!!!! The crowd goes WILD.

[@AmariMarvelous]

There still need to be a Kane and Rakim Verzus. Rakim catalogue is way bigger and has more hits then Kane.

These are the TiTANS of MC ing. KRS ONE LL KANE G RAP RAKIM SLICK RICK CHUCK D

Kane tripping I seen Rakim live he put on a good show

[@davidparker5730]

I've seen them both but the night you went Rakim must have had a red bull cause whenever I've seen him he just stands there. Kane on the other hand is active even at a later age

[@youngc1mission]

Kane vs krs is a CLASSIC…rakim would have got his fukn boots smoked 😂😂😂

[@crisleroi299]

Look up Rakim's tiny desk concert, then look up Big Daddy Kane's. Kane is 100% right.

[@faiceoff1]

Trust me, it’s just that you love & respect Rakim as do I but Kane is right .. Rakim is more of a laid back person

[@Lenasevilla-yb4ei]

He’s not tripping that’s his opinion

[@kidistight]

Somehow stumbled onto this channel, happy I did because I am subscribed.

[@SunyChi]

This show is crazy. Big up Math. Epps. Legendary Kane

[@cheng-tsohsieh9990]

Long live the Kane, my idol back in high school...'89-'93. Perhaps the best four years of Hip Hop!

[@generalinformation3507]

Kane is right, I went to a concert at Floyd Bennett field in Brooklyn New York a couple of years ago. Kane was on the bill, so was rakim, Chubb rock and WHOUDINI. Kane tore it up, but when rakim took the stage, it was kind of boring. But rakim Is not known for dancing and high energy, He was just being cool

[@mustafahajj]

Terrible word describing anything to do with Ra. His ceremony is all a lover of raw lyricism needs. Rakim is NOT a kid and play show and vice versa. You want lyrics go to a Rakim show, You want dance, well then you should know where to go. There is nothing BORING about a Rakim show.

[@generalinformation3507]

@mustafa ra is a Lyrical God, I've been a fan since Eric B is president. And that was my 1st opportunity to see this man perform, But it was after Big Daddy kane's performance With the James Brown splits And scoop and scrap lover. I wasn't the only one that was yawning in the crowd. If you want to get a clear example check out their tiny desk concerts on KZbin. It's really about showman ship brother mustafa

[@ericjordan6059]

@@generalinformation3507 ... Depends on what you are looking for. Just like today, everyone look for something different in hip hop.

[@generalinformation3507]

@Eric Jordan Just looking to be entertained Eric, The temptation started doing dance routines because at the time there were groups that just stood around and sang, Nobody wanted to go on after James Brown because he tore up the stage with his voice and his dance moves. The whole boy band and now K pop movement came about because of the Jackson 5, Singing and dancing. I enjoyed the show, WHOUDINI was great, Chubb rock was great, But Big Daddy kane just tour the show down. And I enjoyed rakim's performance, It just wasn't what I was expecting🤷🏿

[@frank-xp6pj]

Rakim is not boring, he’s a street dude & 5 percenter….his style ain’t the goofy jumping up & down jump n Jack style …..Rakim straight up G style man.

[@kenneyoakwood1293]

This needs to be the format...get people like this in the shop. They look so comfortable

Damn Big Daddy Kane! Salute to Math Hoffa from Nepal 🙏🏼
