Big Daddy Kane Gets His

At the Hip-Hop Honors tour along with Skillz, The Roots and MC Lyte. Where The Roots and company perform old school Hip-Hop songs after the Big Daddy Kane set – it was so dope – the crowd started screaming, “We’re not worthy.” We heard that they said it so much that Kane got emotional and dropped a tear or two from all the love the crowd gave him. Word is, after the crowd said, “We’re not worthy” for three minutes straight, Kane spoke.

“All I ever wanted to be was considered one of the best and be respected by my peers in the 80’s. Never in my life, did I think that 22 years later y’all would show me that same love. There are kids here that weren’t even born then and know my lyrics word for word.” I heard Kane apologized for getting emotional and said “This is all an MC can really ask for and this means a lot.”

Well after all the sh*t everyone gave him before he deserves props.

Antonio Hardy (born September 10, 1968), better known by his stage name Big Daddy Kane, is a rapper from the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn, New York. He worked with artists including Big L, Biz Markie, Marley Marl, Teddy Riley, Rudy Ray Moore and Barry White. Heavily influenced by Grandmaster Caz in his earlier years, he continued to improve his fast flow and freestyle battle techniques. 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 and being the archetype for the career of Jay-Z, now a hugely commercially successful rapper who got his start as Kane’s hypeman.
