Big Daddy Kane (born Antonio Hardy, September 10, 1968) is a rapper from Brooklyn, New York. He grew up in the notorious Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn. During his career, he has worked with artists including Biz Markie, Marley Marl, Teddy Riley, Rudy Ray Moore and Barry White. Part of Marley Marl’s legendary Juice Crew, he also penned lyrics for fellow members Biz Markie and Roxanne Shante. Kane was responsible for jump-starting the career of Jay-Z, now a hugely commercially successful rapper who got his start as Kane’s hypeman.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers during the ‘golden age’ of hip hop (1986–1993), Kane’s experimentation with r&b beats and his alignment to the Five Percent faction drew criticism. Later albums, such as Looks Like a Job For…, were acclaimed, but he was never able to return to the commercial and artistic success of It’s a Big Daddy Thing. However, he still tours extensively and is involved in several upcoming projects. He recently featured in Morcheeba’s hip hop trip song ‘What’s your Name’.
During 1996, before the murder of 2Pac, it was said that Pac intended to start his own label, Makaveli Records, featuring promintently East Coast acts; one of the artists he intended to sign was Kane, and the two even recorded a song before the rapper’s death, entitled Wherever U Are.
Big Daddy Kane has posed for Playgirl and Madonna’s Sex book. As an actor, he debuted in Mario Van Peebles’ western, Posse.
Big Daddy Kane is famous for his pimp persona that is portrayed in his lyrics. He is famous for the title of his song, “Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy”. The backronym “King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal,” is often applied to his moniker.

Yes I agree,But actually when it comes to legendary album,it is Prince of Darkness.and one more thing,Veteranz day is not old school and it's something like hardcore,That's is why its not so popular among the listeners of Big Daddy Kane

I'm curious as to why no one likes Veteranz Day, its one of his smoothest and most focused albums imo.

Many people tried to say I fell off/ He went R&B, now his rap is all soft/ But if you say that on stage, I'll prove you wrong/ And wax that ass, rappin off a love song/

It just reached 600k but for a legend and a top 5 material MC like Kane, less than 1 mil is not enough. One thing that bothers me most is the fact only 4 or 5 of his songs are available on the last.fm radio.
