Big Daddy Kane Smooth Operator Warm It Up Kane (Cold Chillin') 1989



I love this guy. Big Daddy Kane-the man. 'Smooth Operator' was only one of his styles, the smooth loverman persona. The main event for me here is 'Warm It Up Kane' where he shows his skills as a battle emcee, the rhymes fly fast and furious and the man oozes confidence. He is up there with the best there ever was from the golden age or any age of hip hop and rap music. Whatever style he chose he sounded BAD. His material is also like a rap sample database as he slips and slides through copyrighted material as if he was flipping records on and off the 1210s! This is what rap music is all about, taking someone else's stuff, because it sounds so good, then adding a rhyme over the top. This is real rap music. RESPECT to Big Daddy Kane.
