Big Daddy Kane Live At The V1 Festival In Russia (Video)
September 6, 2019
BIG DADDY KANE!!! In Saint-Petersburg… Florida, right? Nah, son…Russia! This V1 Festival thing looks DOPE, perhaps “the best Hip-Hop event in Russia” for reals!!
The name Big Daddy Kane has become synonymous with the term “poet†in the world of Hip-Hop. Aside from introducing original lyrics to this genre, he also gave innovative live performances which included theatre art, choreography and special costumes. It all has proved that Big Daddy Kane is not only an MC but a full-on music hall artist.

Yep. A BDK show is ALWAYS a good ticket to cop. The G.O.D.M.C. always gives his all for the fans, leaving it all on the floor to righteously represent Hip-Hop… and it don’t stop!

Ghostface Killah – “Done It Again” feat. Styliztik Jones x Cappadonna x Big Daddy Kane (Prod. By Big Ghost)
October 1, 2018
Ghostface releases a new single, “Done It Again,†featuring the legend Big Daddy Kane, Cappadonna, and Styliztik Jones.
This joint represents the classic Ghostface vibe, celebrating women, their beauty, knowledge and strength. Having one of Hip-Hop’s most celebrated emcees and one of my all-time favorite artists (Big Daddy Kane) along for the ride was icing on the cake.

Big Daddy Kane Blesses NPR Music With A Mini Concert (Video)
March 2, 2018
Don’t know what’s wrong with your soul if this set from the Golden Era great doesn’t rock you. The B-I-G-D-A-D-D-Y-K-A-N-E in concert… a Tiny Desk Concert at that!
One of the greatest to ever bless the mic, Big Daddy Kane treated Tiny Desk to an office block party in the true essence of Hip-Hop. He performed a short set of classics, including “Smooth Operator,” “Ain’t No Half Steppin’,” “Raw” and a bonus freestyle. Through his warm, engaging and devilishly self-effacing style, the pioneer used an interlude between songs to address the intergenerational divisiveness defining rap today and the importance of fans of all ages supporting whatever they like, while “focusing on what’s positive and keeping that in the spotlight.”

You remember how the two dudes in the “Five Heartbeats” movie had that soul-singing battle on stage and made the lady fans faint? This Big Daddy Kane vs. Kool G Rap showdown… It’s like that. Yup. And that’s the way it is! Two Golden Era legends going head up; doing hit-for-hit in front of the fans. An intra-squad rhyme-sayer scrimmage between two of the Juice Crew.
Oh yeah, Masta Ace shows up later in the show to rock a short set, too. Click play and overdose on the dopeness already!

Marley Marl x Big Daddy Kane x Masta Ace x Craig G. x Kool G. Rap – “The Symphony” (Live) [Video]
August 2, 2015
Oohhoohoooo! This is cooler than 40 below! Damn if Marley and Kane didn’t bring ’em ALL out! The Juice Crew got on the mics and made it do what it do. When Masta Ace said, ‘Listen closely…’ back in the day, best BELIEVE we did. And you will again. Press play and enjoy thoroughly, you faithful Hip-Hop heads!
This was at The Rock Steady Crew’s 38th Anniversary show in Central Park, New York City (July 27, 2015). More footage from that fantastic event after the jump.
Jadakiss – ‘Young, Gifted, & Black’ Freestyle
April 24, 2015
Jadakiss drops this straight fiyah ‘Young, Gifted, & Black’ freestyle from Big Daddy Kane’s 1989 classic & kills it! This is pure lyricism at this finest! I literally got the goosebumps listening to this joint right here. THIS is hip hop not that other sh*t. I’d even bet the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin would be impressed.

Big Daddy Kane Live at Tramps (1999) [Video]
April 6, 2015
Yup. It’s Hard Being The Kane. But it’s easy, real easy from this ’99 show clip, to see why BDK’s style still endures to this day. Big Daddy Kane is still doing it today. Reality check: If you are not checking for the K-A-N-E today, best believe you are checking for someone who was influenced by him. Reality checkmate! Enjoy.

Very cool: Madonna knew who Big Daddy Kane was back in the day; and was trying to school her fans on how great he was. Now, before you say Ms. “Like A Virgin” was on BDK’s jock… take a look-see at the pics from Madonna’s “Sex” book. She kinda let the K-A-N-E on her … um … ‘jock’ (wowww)!
Big Daddy Kane shares the story about how he met Madonna, and later posed for a racy spread with her and Naomi Campbell in the pop star’s “Sex” book.

Kane comes to [Zagreb] Croatia where he performed at Club Pepermint. Lots of love in the room at that show. Check out the radio visit footage though.

Marco Polo feat. Big Daddy Kane – “Nite & Day’
March 14, 2013
It was just a few days ago we posted new joint from producer Marco Polo featuring the God Rakim called ‘What’s Wrong’. He’s back with another gem called ‘Nite & Day’ with another hip hop legend in Big Daddy Kane. This particular joint finds the ill producer flipping Al B. Sure’s 1988 R&B classic ‘Nite & Day’ while BDK spits the appropriate bars to make this joint pop properly. This joint will appear on Marco Polo’s forthcoming free-LP “Newport Authority 2†as Marco states “I’ve recorded so much quality material over the last few years and I really want to share it all. It couldn’t all possibly fit on “Port Authority 2â€; hence “Newport Authority 2†came to be.â€

Big Daddy Kane on Fuse TV (Video)
January 31, 2013
Big Daddy Kane speaks on taking the old-to-the-new (‘the new to the old, the old to the new’…that Greg Nice popped into my mind for a sec, okay)… on the love he still gets (with a quick shout from Kendrick Lamar), the joy of reuniting with Jay-Z on stage at the Barclay Center, and more. Good clip.
What’s interesting is Big Daddy Kane was shopping Jay-Z to record labels back then considering Kane is only 1 year older than Jay-Z. BDK (44) Jay-Z (43)
