he IS legend
An amazing documentary about a music legend. I really got into hip-hop off of Big Daddy Kane's "Ain't No Half Steppin'".
I have memories of LL rockin' bells and begged my father for Dana Dane's "Nightmares" 12" but it was really the album "It's a Big Daddy Thing" (and later Tribe's ...Instinctive Travels...") that cemented hip-hop as my music of choice.
This is an amazing documentary that really
(and finally) gives the man his due.
Wiki:"Ice-T refers to Kane in his song "Midnight":
"The sound's up loud/ To attract attention/ .../
Bumping Big Daddy/ The nigga was definitely flowing".
It is uncommon in hip hop recordings of that time for
one rapper to display such admiration for another."
