Big daddy Kane or Jay Z? Higher on a GOAT list?

[brombonze]

Kane and yes i'm biased. that's my all time favorite emcee bar none

 

[genocide_cutter]

I'm with big daddy kane

 

[Julius]

Big Daddy Kane is better IMO

 

[t. webb]

Jay-Z....only because I didn't grow during that time period.....

 

[isayas]

Kane, and I didn't even grow up in that time period.

 

[flushill401]

Big Daddy Kane, yes big not little

 

[ChuckieInDaMurderAve]

Kane, no questions, quite possibly in my top 5 list. But if there's a valid reason to say he shouldn't be in a top 5 is simple... he should have knocked all those AWFUL sucky R&B love songs he was so obsessed with.

I mean I could never understand a single reason to listen to "To Be Your Man", "On the Move", "All of Me", "I'm Not Ashamed", "TLC", "Lover in You" or "Very Special"... He made one good love ballad and that was "The Day You're Mine", mostly because the lyrics were actually good as opposed to the same ol' boring love songs everybody else (including later Kane) did and does.

I understand what your saying cause Kane is not my generation either but...

That's no excuse. It's not like it's sports and you never saw the guy play, you can listen to the music and form your own decision.

So your saying it doesn't play a part in his decision at all?

(plus i co-singed i'ma co-signer for it too, lol)

Naa I think jay but not because I was born in 92'

I wish i grew up during that time period.Hip hop isnt like it used to be

 

[isayas]

Hip Hop was like that at that time. Kane was just a raw spitter, and musically he was nice. Didn't y'all listen to 'Prince of Darkness'?

I think the newness of Hip Hop had alot to do with it . I am 33 and grew up during that time , but I think that 95-99 or so was the best years . I think the production caught up to the lyrics during those years . I also think that we are at the place now in Hip Hop where the same thing is kinda of happening with these new wave of artist . For along time in the last few years the production was ahead of the artistry and lyrics .

I can respect that....where should I start then?

My brother in law put me on an album called "long live the Kane" you should listen. For the record I think jay>>>Kane, but that's after listening to both artists.

 

[great l]

Jay anyday of the week.

 

[beats&rhymes]

No doubt in my mind it's Big Daddy Kane. Do people really rate Jay that High to compare him to Kane? I guess so.

 

[JokerzWyld]

Jay-Z IMO, although i like King Asiatic a lot more.
