Talib Kweli & Big Daddy Kane Talk Bridge Wars, Rakim, ODB, Eminem, & Activism | People's Party Full

[@uproxx]

TIME STAMPS: 3:02 -- Kane elaborates on the origins of his name taken from the character of David Caine from the TV show 'Kung Fu' as well as the Big Daddy from the film 'Beach Party'. Talib tells Kane about him being his son's first favorite rapper, Kane reflects on everyone thinking he was older than he really was when he first hit the scene at age 19 and Jasmin asks Kane how the Five Percent Nation teachings have influenced him and which parts of the doctrine he's held onto over the years. Kane also touches on how he always found purpose in opening other people's eyes about knowledge-of-self, especially those who needed it most. 12:12 -- Talib turns the conversation to Biz Markie and notes how much being on tour with him so early on in his career gave him a leg up. Kane also tells how Biz's health is currently, how long it's been since he's been able to speak with him and he tells the classic story of how he got the attention of Marley Marl through knowing Biz, leading to his eventual signing with Cold Chillin'. They also discuss the Bridge Wars rivalry between BDP and the Juice Crew and how Kane felt being a battle rapper from Brooklyn caught in the middle, having close ties with KRS-One. Jasmin also asks Kane what he thought it was that made people want to emulate him even outside the realm of hip hop. 21:16 -- Kane speaks of his hometown of Brooklyn and all the incredible emcees that it produced following his first stepping on the scene. He reflects on his starting to write in 1982 and the things around him growing up in BK that influenced his pen game. Kane also tells about how Eric B. connected him with Rudy Ray Moore to make 'Big Daddy Vs. Dolemite' and what the scene was like with Rudy in the studio in full form. Talib then asks Kane to speak on rapper Jaz-O and how he fits into the legacy of Brooklyn emcees, him being the hottest unsigned artist in BK early on. 29:55 -- Kane is asked about his memories of being on tour with Jaz-O and Jay-Z before Jay was known, and if he saw signs of his potential to become one of the future GOATs back then. Kane talks about his long-time friends and back-up dancers Scoob & Scrap as well as his DJ Mister Cee and how it's always been a family thing. Kane also talks about receiving an intervention from Jay-Z and Sauce Money during the making of 'Show N Prove', Sauce being the funniest when he's upset, Kane is asked if he recognized his influence on Eminem when he was blowing up and Kane talks about what he thinks of Em as a lyricist. 39:12 -- Talib tells how Kane's 'Ain't No Half Steppin'' shattered his previous perspective of the definition of cool when he dropped that track. He illustrates the moment he heard the song come on the radio, his reaction, he lists the albums that made 1988 his favorite year in hip hop, and he asks Kane if he has a favorite year that comes to mind. They go on to discuss the changes that took place during '88, why Kane felt it was important to potray black royalty on the cover of his album 'Long Live The Kane' as well as his thoughts on sex, violence and diversity in hip hop and how the radio and censorship has changed over the years. 52:15 -- Kane gives the history behind why he used his flat top as a focal point for him and his crew since the beginning, becoming one of his trademarks. Talib thanks Kane for songs like 'Young Gifted & Black' as well as 'Lean On Me'. Jasmin asks Kane for any updates on a potential Verzuz battle between him and Rakim, they discuss Kane's influence on the Wu-Tang Clan, meeting the GZA when he started out with Cold Chillin', as well as the first time Kane saw the WU perform and inviting ODB and Shyhiem to his friend's Birthday party afterwards. Kane then goes on to tell a hilarious story about ODB drunk out of his mind asking Kane for the keys to his Pathfinder. 1:03:08 -- Kane gets asked about what it was like to record with 2Pac. He talks about first meeting Pac at a Tyson fight in Vegas and taking a plane back to LA the following day to record two tracks in Death Row studios along with MC Hammer. Talib notes his feelings of Black Thought being a combination of Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap. He asks Kane how he felt when he first heard Black Thought emulate him and G Rap on 'Boom!', as well as the full circle moment of performing with him at Dave Chappelle's Block Party. Kane also tells how his DJ Mister Cee has been doing and gives him his props for always being so dependable. 1:11:49 -- Kane touches on his "all over the place" approach to writing. Choosing the subject matter in the moment, based on how he's feeling at the time and what he sees going on around him. He also notes his respect for those that write with a single mission in mind like Public Enemy. Jasmin brings up Kane's recent song 'Enough' about police brutality, they discuss why it's so important that people take advantage of activism trending, celebrating the victories of more black representation in positions of power but not overlooking the big picture of how much it's really helping on the ground level with the people that need it most. 1:19:59 -- Kane talks about his move to Raleigh, North Carolina after New York no longer resembled the New York he remembers growing up. Talib goes on to bring up Kane having some of the best breath control in hip hop despite his having asthma and asks him if he feels that extra challenge helped or hurt him. They also discuss Kane forming the band Las Supper with singer Showtime. Kane tells how much he's appreciated having Showtime and the Lifted Crew by his side during his live shows, they talk about Kane's podcast on the way focusing on many untold stories over his life and career, and Kane's asked if he has anything coming down the line music-wise.

Let's take a sec to show some respect to Biz Markie, without whom alot of that Cold Chillin' era wouldn't have been the same. Nobody beats the Biz!

[@jimmylawrence8766]

Kane wrote his lyrics

[@Antonio-Montan]

@@jimmylawrence8766 yes indeed and the creative process also needs a spark of character, individualism and a unique sense of owning a personality which Biz embodied. His beat boxing for its time, set him apart but so did his character and personality, sense of style and fun loving attitude. It's these little nuances which are sorely missed from Hip Hop and few if anyone else has been able to capture the feel of almost an innocence within the culture. Biz is a character and personality who is cherished.

Big Daddy Kane is my “Favorite” Mc of all time!

[@lenzyruffin]

This has to be one of my most favorite interviews ever. I can't believe I get to sit here and watch and listen to Big Daddy Kane like this. It's like I'm sitting in the living room with one of my childhood heroes. Kane is one of my original favorite rappers from when I first started getting into listening to music. I remember listening to Raw back in the day at night on AM radio because that's the only time and place rap music got any play where I lived. That was on 1450 AM WOL in DC, back when a young Cathy Hughes was an on-air personality in the early days of building her media empire, which went on to become Urban One. To be able to sit here and have this kind of access to one of the God MCs who seemed like they lived a million miles away back in the day...man, this was a dope interview. There's no way Kane and his classmates can ever know the magnitude of the impact they had. If you'd cut me with a knife back in the day, rhymes from Kane, G. Rap, KRS-ONE, UTFO, Doug E. Fresh, etc would have spilled out instead of blood.

BDK, in 1989 pimpin ain’t easy changed my life. I was 12. And it was the first rap song that I ever learned. That whole album made me fall in love with hip hop actually and it’s a love I have to this day. My girl (shout out to Faith, miss and love you girlfriend. RIP my dear friend) turned me on to it, and your music and that was it for me. Thank you for that. 🙏 we’d dance and rap in my room for hours to It’s A Big Daddy Thing, and Ton Locs Loced After Dark, Geto Boys, Beastie Boys, Wu Tang and so many others. I’m jewish and in 1989, I was definitely an outcast music wise amongst my Jewish private school peers and I didn’t give a F. I was all in. Most of my friends were outside that peer group and I ran the streets with my peeps my whole childhood and we bonded over our love of rap and hip hop. Those are such good memories I cherish, especially considering most of those friends are gone and buried now. And Yo Kweli, can please tell ya boy Yasiin (Mos Def) to get back on the mic, including with you? Your Black Star album, and also his solo album The New Danger, are some of my favorite albums OAT. His voice, that of a true lyricist, is so needed in this mumble heavy smog that’s settled over the culture. Please come back 🙏

Thank you Talib Kane is a masterful and dope MC. he still doesn't get the recognition deserved to him. He and Heavy D were some of the first to mix Rap and R&B, a lot of people want to contribute that to P Diddy. Aint true. I wore a cameo like Kane, being down south we called them Fades. Kane and Wesley Snipes brought the dark skin brothers back. Since the 80s was down with the light skin and good hair brothers like Debarge, Prince, and Al B Sure. People expected Kane to stay hard but he evolved. I saw another one of his interviews and he considered himself to be an entertainer as well. He dad even dressed well and was dapper. You could very well see that Kane was influenced by his dad. Look at his past album cover and the wardrobe and wearing Ballys. Kane is hands down my fav old school MC. people also reference Biggie and Tupac a lot. Bruh, check out Kane.

Holy Shiot. such a missed opportunity not to hear more about Kane, and KRS and MS. Melody!! that's HUGE. Ugh! I wish Jasmine didn't change the subject. At that time it was the Bronx against Queens with DJ red alert playing these diss albums every Friday night. So many of us had to wait all week for that! The Battle between KRS and QueensBridge was HUGE at the time. to find that Kane was working both with Marley in Queens but was friends with KRS is huge!! DAMN IT! such a historical moment and opportunity missed to hear more on that. -----To answer "Jasmine's" question on Why so many wanted to be like Kane When Kane came out, his lyrics were from a new paradigm of rap. He had a high sense of intellect that was clever and at the same time like a conversation directly with the listener in many ways with a new level of word play and style that many hadn't known from the previous ABC hip hop (as opposed to more like the amazing Rakim whom you were more along for the ride on the thoughts emptied from his mind perhaps.) At the time so many things about Kane were Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy level of hip hop for Black people. He was "Cool" He was very polished, his hair, his demeanor. Black people needed and wanted that as well. (LOL so it's funny now to see BDK with his hair just natural and a bit wild style at the top nowadays heheh.)
