Spread LOVE, its the Brooklyn way, and since back in the day, this legendary New York City borough has birthed some of the greatest MC's of all time! From Biggie, Mos Def, to M.O.P. and JAY-Z the list goes on and on! All BK rappers probably will tell you tell till this day, their fav. rapper was a smooth operator & huge influence from around the way.
When Jay-Z christened Brooklyn's new Barclays Center arena in 2012 with a series of eight straight shows, he brought out only one guest rapper to share his stage: Bed-Stuy native Big Daddy Kane. And for good reason. Antonio Hardy was the master wordsmith of rap's late-golden age and a huge influence on a generation of MCs. On "Ain't No Half Steppin'," (off the Long Live the Kane, 1988 LP) his tone is rich and commanding as he rocks tightly coiled extended metaphors over Marley Marl's laid-back groove (based around the Emotions' fine 1972 cut "Blind Alley"): "Rappers, you better be/Ready to die because you're petty/You're just a butter knife, I'm a machete." Legend has it that even the Eighties' greatest rapper, Rakim, turned down a challenge to go mic-to-mic with Kane. (Some Infomation obtain from:ROLLING STONE)
