1 n- ~& s& x# g# Q. N% M' dBig Daddy Kane 于1968年出生于纽约的布鲁克林,他是说唱音乐最初的十年间最受人们爱戴的艺人。虽然他对日后无数的Hip Hop player产生了重要的影响,但他也绝不仅仅是表面看上去那个衣着光鲜、带着纯金装饰、老于世故的男人。他还拥有通过无数场B-boy battles(本人非常之稀饭)练就的超凡饶舌技艺,并倡导非洲根源意识和深信伊斯兰哲学。但他却从来没有在流行乐界取得什么傲人的成绩,因为他最伟大的作品都是留在Hip Hop领域的。

: @( g6 ]5 Y. ~8 |6 o$ eBig Daddy Kane's 1988 debut still stands as a raw classic from one of hip-hop's most fruitful years. The production is end-to-end brilliant, with Juice Crew guru Marley Marl soundtracking Kane through nine furious cuts (and one absolute stinker, the slow jam "The Day You're Mine"). Marl's production has rarely sounded finer, a gritty chorus of drums and funk-soul samples that have since been S' \3 W9 ?1 [ `/ \
immortalised. "Raw", "Just Rhymin' with Biz" and "Ain't No Half-Steppin'" are the certified anthems, but they're not the only highlights. Check the furious "Long Live the Kane" and "Set It Off" for Kane's up-tempo odes to himself. "I'll Take You There" and "Word to the Mother(Land)" were the obligatory (yet heartfelt) Nation nods, mandatory during this brief late-80s period of Afrocentricity. Though his image would soon switch to that of a smoothed-out new-jack playa, the memory of Kane as one of hip-hop's supreme lyrical rulers lives long on this masterpiece.
