One of the key artists of the late-1980s New York City hip-hop scene, Big Daddy Kane won over a considerable audience with his first two albums, LONG LIVE THE KANE and IT'S A BIG DADDY THING. This well-selected collection draws heavily from those records, giving listeners a potent dose of Kane's smooth, ladies'-man persona on tracks such as the cool, confident "Ain't No Half Steppin'" and the frenetic "I Get the Job Done." Particularly for those who don't own those discs, this is the perfect overview of some of the Big Daddy's finest moments.
Q (8/01, p.146) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Flawed but occasionally fabulous....The best of this compilation is th early material..."
Big Daddy Kane was one of the first rap artists to take on the suave pimp persona so prevalent in hip-hop today. As a lyricist for Marly Marl's Juice Crew, Kane penned lyrics for, among others, Biz Markie, before embarking on his own career in 1989. Blending classic soul samples, an effortlessly smooth yet intense flow, and lyrics that referenced both the trials and tribulations of being a ladies' man and, oddly enough, the Black Muslim lifestyle, Kane was an influential artist who presaged many of the trends in both hip-hop and R&B that would emerge in the decades that followed.
