Brain cells are lit
Ideas start to hit
Next the formation of words that fit
At the table I sit
At the table I sit
Makin' it legit
And when my pen hits the paper --
And when my pen hits the paper --
Awwwwwww sh*t!
From "Ain't No Half Steppin'" (1988).
Golden-age rapper Big Daddy Kane (real name: Antonio Hardy) was imitated by many, equalled by few, excelled by none. He was one of smoothest and most confident rappers ever to hold a microphone -- he had flow out the ying-yang. One critic described him as "an enormously talented battle MC [who] had the sheer verbal facility and razor-clean dexterity to ambush any MC and exhilarate anyone who heard him perform." Not to mention the really cool haircut.
Today is Big Daddy Kane's 43rd birthday.
