NOTES :Emerging during hip-hop’s massive creative expansion ofthe late ’80s, Big Daddy Kane was the ultimate loverman of rap’s first decade, yet there was more to himthan the stylish wardrobe, gold jewelry, andsophisticated charisma. Kane possessed a prodigiousrhyming technique honed from numerous B-boy battles; hecould also be an Afrocentric consciousness-raiserversed in the philosophy of the Nation of Islam’s FivePercent school, or a smooth urban soul crooner whosesinging was no match for his talents as an MC. While henever scored much pop-crossover success, his bestmaterial ranks among the finest hip-hop of its era, andhis sex-drenched persona was enormously influential oncountless future would-be players.
Big Daddy Kane was born Antonio Hardy in Brooklyn onSeptember 10, 1968; the stage name “Kane” was anacronym for King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal. In 1984, hemet Biz Markie, and the two struck up a friendship.Kane would go on to co-write some of the Biz’sbest-known raps, and both eventually became importantmembers of the Queens-based Juice Crew, a collectiveheaded by renowned producer Marley Marl. Kane signedwith Marl’s Cold Chillin’ label in 1987 and debuted thefollowing year with the 12″ single “Raw,” which becamean underground sensation. His first album, Long Livethe Kane, followed not long after and was equallywell-received, producing another underground classic in“Ain’t No Half-Steppin’.” Kane consolidated his successwith 1989’s It’s a Big Daddy Thing, which spawnedarguably his most effective love-man song in “SmoothOperator” (and also found him working with new jackproducer Teddy Riley on “I Get the Job Done”). 1990’s ATaste of Chocolate was a wide-ranging effort,highlighted by Kane’s duets with Barry White andcomedian Rudy Ray Moore, aka Dolemite.
Kane’s first major misstep came with the 1991 albumPrince of Darkness, a mellower, more R&B-basedcollection that failed to play to the rapper’s strongsuits; however, he maintained his sex-symbol status byposing for Madonna’s notorious 1992 photo book Sex, aswell as Playgirl magazine. 1993’s Looks Like a JobFor… was something of an artistic comeback, but itfailed to re-establish his status in the hip-hopcommunity, which was in the midst of a Dr. Dre-inspiredlove affair with gangsta rap. Kane moved to the MCAlabel for 1994’s Daddy’s Home, and dabbled in an actingcareer with appearances in Mario Van Peebles’ 1993black Western Posse and 1994’s Gunmen. However, helargely retired from the scene over the next few years.Kane resurfaced in 1998 on Blackheart Records,releasing what was ostensibly his farewell album,Veteranz Day. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
