Word, I wish more MCs would go back and learn from the masters, instead of just copying whoever is hot right now

ive always said BIG was a simple ass rapper....
Big Daddy Kane: I do, and that’s my personal opinion. Now, you take someone like [Notorious B.I.G.], I think that he was a great rapper, but he didn’t use a large vocabulary, his word play was really simple, he just put his words together a slick way and it worked real good for him. But in my opinion, I think it is good to have a large vocabulary, but that’s just for me, I can’t really say that for everybody. Because you have other artists, like I just mentioned Biggie, who didn’t have to use a large vocabulary and still got his point across and was recognized as being a hot emcee.

Jay-Z is not the only that's rapping without writing in Ink. Lil Wayne and T.I. claimed it as well. There are lot more then just them too.Frankizzle;1328963 said:Very good interview, lots of gems dropped -

Thinking this part might be a bit of a Jay-Z shot -

True, though I think it's probably particularly annoying for BDK when people buy into the whole "writing in my head" thing when it's to do with Jay-Z, because Jay-Z used to be Kane's hype man
And Kane can rap circles around Jay-Z

Agree.
Which is why Canibus is one of the GOATS.

Word, Biggie had a complex flow though, and used his voice very well... and as Kane says, he was direct and got his point across clearly. It's different methods for different MCs

I read the the whole article. And if a lot of younger rappers would open their minds and take heed to legends like Kane, they could achieve the same greatness or even more.

Kane was definately one of the best to do it
half the shit that nigga said I'd didn't even reallize until years later
this nigga said " My raps stick to you like Skip and Jiff" ( peanut butter )
when I first figured out what he meant I was like DAMN he's a beast

That was dope. I come from the era where we would argue over who was the best. Kane, KRS or Rakim. Kane is definitely top 5 all time. I think a very important bit of information to take away from the article is, who Kane was inspired and influenced by. Caz, Melle Mel, Kool Moe D, Crush brothers Spoonie G and the Crash crew were all great contributors to Hip Hop and the element of MC'ing. What these brothers were doing 20-20 years ago cats are doing now. The sad part is, most of these lames try to pass it off as new.

A lot of the rappers in the mainstream/commercial arena are really doing what they did. But I agree with you about some these new artists taking credit for things that they didn't innovate on their own.Kwan Dai;1334589 said:That was dope.

great interview that i didn't want to end. But then again I came up on Kane and pretty much knew how he'd respond to some of those questions because we from the same school of hip-hop. He's in my top 5 and he influenced my flow. It's too bad today's yougins don't really know too much about Kane. just for the record, my top 5...
KRS
Cube
Pac
Red
Kane
KRS is the solid #1 but i flip flop #2 and #3 and flip flop #4 and #5 somethimes. But those are the 5 I consider GOAT for different reasons
