If you want to show any emcee how to look cool or the mic or how to have swagger and rock a crowd then this is the perfect example. Big Daddy Kane is easily the best performing emcee and the smoothest out there. No matter how complex hip hop lyrics become and how people like Nas, Eminem, Kendrick or any other emcees that have come since and have raised the bar for what's expected lyrically and how perfectly crafted your lyrics are, nobody will ever get any smoother than this. Too many new school rappers don't go as far back as the 80s and miss out on so many legends who have contributed to the game when really they should be taking notes from performances like this. Words can't explain how great Kane was
the single dopest hip hop performance ever... I don't even care if he purposely dropped the mic... kane is so far and away above the rim... this is so smooth there is nothing else that can be said about it... kane = goat... other than kool keith... PEACE
+Bobby Fischer nah man check out eminem nyc the wetlands 1997 at the 2:00 min mark be ready to get fucking flooooooored shit is unreal. The constant outcrys from the crowd are to funny. they shout out : FUUUCK! /oh my god. /and other grunts of grimeyness during the whole thing. Would have loved to be there. SHIT WAS ON FIIIIIRE!
True. Like how Biggie did a similar thing when he used to perform Party and Bullshit and actually have his crew fight on stage when he delivered the line about a fight breaking out only to reveal it was all part of the plan. Sounds more boring when written down but there's a scene in his biopic that shows what i mean too
Yo this gave me a 8mile latto rap battle vibes. Bro had th crowd shaking their head and throwing their hands up. Than when he he said “drop shit and make it still look good” they went back to throwing they hands up even wilder! This a real rap history video! Crazy
The fact he planned it is even more genius LOL. Was definitely risk involved dropping that mic because if it somehow stopped working then this would have been a disaster lol
This is stage true stage handling from one of the greatest. Every movement on stage is as important as the lyrics. If a tells a story, tells a joke before doing a song it is as exciting as a well placed mic drop that you make seem natural. His re-posture after the drop was pure can. A true person of Hip-Hop enjoys that. We don't worry if he planned it or not because it doesn't make us smarter to say or know that.
Are you kidding me? ".....comin' from the brook-hood'....oooopppps drops mic....and then.... Continues to fool every single youtube viewer and every single person in the crowd...charisma, cadence, confidence and 1000x the swagger of any "rap" artist today. That's how you rock a crowd so hard you remember not only the performance, but the performer forever. Mad props for a legend.
I never get tired of watching this video!!! Wish I was at this show! Come to Tampa Big Daddy🎤Old Skool.........CAN I KICK IT???.....Yes you can..... CAN I KICK IT???? Yes you can.. ..
reasonable doubt was pretty much ignored upon it's arrival so while I would put Jay as being a bit earlier on his rise I agree with you for the most part... nobody was listening to Jay z when reasonable doubt dropped...
Bobby Fischer RD was still his best album too....dude sold out in later years. Black A was pretty good but...ehhhh, he should've stay retired after that.
Khalil Young lol I and a bunch of other dudes started rapping in 88' but the crap don't matter because nobody knew us (and they still don't) . You hit when your actually professional career begins.
Out of all the famous comments on TH-cam, from the "Thumbs up if ..... sent u here", to the "This is still better than .....", to "(number of dislikes) people (something related to the video)"...this is the only overly used comment I don't want to see burn in flames. Please keep promoting this book & real Hip Hop!!!!!
The wonderful thing about hip hop is that it never remains static. It can never be defined by one period. Your pops may not feel what is hot in today's world, but he will always have fond memories of his era. Hip hop music that was made for my time was made by young people. The music that is made today is also made by young people. It's a natural progression. In ten years, today's youth will not feel the artists of that time. We all get old (if we are lucky).
I comeback to this at least 5 times a year and that first beat is just a cold as when I watched it the very first time. I can see pimp c killing that beat too.
I don't have the patience to argue over who the GOAT is. But I can say this--and nobody can debate me--my FAVORITE emcee of all time is Big Daddy Kane. And I don't have to explain jack.

@@MaximilianKohler sad life
Same
"From the Brook hood- *drops mic* ..... drop shit and still make it look good" legend 🔥
He might of done it on purpose but he made the crowd go crazy
might have? look at his hand. its totally on purpose
*****
Exactly the right moment? He's saying a full line before the beat kicks in, which is enough for the DJ to catch up.
streetball102 Upvoting both because I thought you were correcting his "might of" to "might have" and because you're right. It's obviously intentional.
RACIST BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right, i replayed that part a few times, he indeed opened his hand on purpose.
There's no way that mic drop was a mistake. Anyone named Big Daddy Kane never makes mistakes.
I thought it was obvious to everyone that it was planned.
he also said it in a interview, it was planned ;p
The beat wouldn't have stopped right at the same time if it was a mistake.
Thanks captain obvious
+Piper Phillips why the mic doesnt determine the beat playing at all

Of Course, Very Well Put!!
But U Can't EXPLAIN this to People Bcuz They Had BLINDERS on (Str8 Tunnel Vision)...
All to true but, can't forget about KRS ONE, he can rock a crowd in ways unreal, his lyricism is raw n all.
@@jamiearchibald8755 BDK will body Krs today in Versuz
@@thefatalveli1 he did the first freestyle from this in that shit, was hot
As always
@@FederalEmployee Fo Sho
It obviously was staged. He said it on thisis50. Even so though he is a great performer and knows how to wow the crowd. Such an awesome performance
If you know Big Daddy Kane you know he did that on purpose.
Imagine it's 2023 and that was and is still the best mic drop scheme EVER! THAT'S TUFF🔥🔥🔥💯
One of the most talented rappers of all time.
That recovery though...

David Sherm MAKES IT LOOK GOOD
no disrespect but this was too smooth to be true
Rick James are you supposed to be rick james bitch?
I think he is good and smooth enough for this to b real!
NUKE then why does the music stop when he drops the mic
It was prepared, he does the same freestyle every time, check his NPR concert for example
😂
Obviously done on purpose.. DJ also on point, dropped the beat & brought it back on time 🔥 #longlivethekane
Facts 💯
Kanes little blow into the mic was the signal 🚦
captain obvious strikes again!
They don't make rappers like this anymore.
They damn sure don't
The mic drop was part of the act. Kane was too smooth and made it look real. You saw how hyped the crowd went? He is an MC. Done.
No duh
captain obvious strikes again!
have you read some of the comments
just whole another level.... long live to Kane
1 of the Gods of the Mic
@@dannyjohnson5113 mos definitely.... top 3 with Ra and KGR
Hip hop rap fan or not....that was smooth as fuck!

Sounds more boring when written down but there's a scene in his biopic that shows what i mean too
The mic drop was planned, but this is called being a SHOWMAN, & giving the crowd the unexpected. So smooth & so playa!
Who is still watching this 🔥 in 2024？
✌🏿me
Me!!
Me
Legend
💪
amazing life brought me here
A true Emcee(not a rapper) at work ya heard!!!! This is what makes New York Emcees DOPE!!!!! F da haterz feel me.
One of the greatest Hip Hop performers of all time!!!
Big Daddy Kane one of the greatest rappers that ever lived. He can drop the mic and still make it look good! My favorite rapper of all time!
Best comeback ever...!!!
Kane been crazy with it.
“In this, yall defenseless against this, put them in the clinches, nobody wins this” straight barzzz
2021 and this is still the smoothest thing I've ever seen. 🔥
CLASSIC!!! what a legend!! seen him a few times in London - full of energy great performance - RESPECT!!!!!
Styled it out like a boss!
He from the 80s and ripped those beats from the early 2000s! I still remember this footage.
And He Ripped A Trap Beat Last Night At The Versus wit Krs1..Fkn Classic..✌🏾❤🙏🏽
what is the first song when hes rapping fast
"Dropping Shit and Still Make It a look Good"
And he was Freestyling the whole time he's in my Top 3 Favorite Rappers
2:28 - the Drop
2:37 - the Recovery
Only Nine (!) seconds to think of a proper face saving line - that's pimp training right there!
Forget him dropping the mic ,he ripped that first beat out the frame!Legend for real!
This guy had so much swag, back when people didn't even know what "swag" is.
That’s what they called pimpin my boy
Yo this gave me a 8mile latto rap battle vibes. Bro had th crowd shaking their head and throwing their hands up. Than when he he said “drop shit and make it still look good” they went back to throwing they hands up even wilder! This a real rap history video! Crazy
he did it on purpose he said from the Brooklyn hood drop shit and still make it look good
Kane was my favourite emcee for good while when I was a kid. I finally got to see him in Toronto last Fall (2022) and he can still rock a crowd!
this is skillful GROWN MAN Rap !!!!! :)
Faxxx!!
Yep
NOBODY Fuccin wit KANE! He played those tracks and spit those familiar flows to send a message! He’s the GHOST
(writer) AND the G.O.A.T. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Of course he dropped the mic on purpose. It's called showmanship.
I come back here once in a while for motivation.
200% on dat mic drop...
That was such a crazy act. It was part of the rhyme. The coat pulled it off.
Say no to drugs but leave that Kane up in ya system. BDK still Killin it, that's MCing!!
Legendary
Kanes a Monster on tha mic
The fact he planned it is even more genius LOL. Was definitely risk involved dropping that mic because if it somehow stopped working then this would have been a disaster lol
True, but I'd assume mics are usually durable enough so it won't break from one drop.
This is stage true stage handling from one of the greatest. Every movement on stage is as important as the lyrics. If a tells a story, tells a joke before doing a song it is as exciting as a well placed mic drop that you make seem natural. His re-posture after the drop was pure can. A true person of Hip-Hop enjoys that. We don't worry if he planned it or not because it doesn't make us smarter to say or know that.
I`m back in here 11 years later and bopping my head to this...
Say no to drugs but keep that kane up in ur system

Long live the Kane. I got the shivers watching this. That mic drop was legendary.
Watch a master perform. This man is one of the true living legends.
I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS. CLASSIC BDK 11-2-2019 SATURDAY
He handled it like a boss :D
Are you kidding me?
".....comin' from the brook-hood'....oooopppps drops mic....and then....
Continues to fool every single youtube viewer and every single person in the crowd...charisma, cadence, confidence and 1000x the swagger of any "rap" artist today.
That's how you rock a crowd so hard you remember not only the performance, but the performer forever.
Mad props for a legend.
So smooth haha.

Also Kane gained some weight since 88
I never get tired of watching this video!!! Wish I was at this show! Come to Tampa Big Daddy🎤Old Skool.........CAN I KICK IT???.....Yes you can..... CAN I KICK IT???? Yes you can.. ..
Big daddy came out in the 80 ' s jay z didn't hit till after biggie died.97 know your history.
reasonable doubt was pretty much ignored upon it's arrival so while I would put Jay as being a bit earlier on his rise I agree with you for the most part... nobody was listening to Jay z when reasonable doubt dropped...
Bobby Fischer RD was still his best album too....dude sold out in later years. Black A was pretty good but...ehhhh, he should've stay retired after that.

+Khalil Young A lot of rappers who are in their early to mid 40s now started rapping in 88. Nas, Jay, Eminem, Fat Joe and other rappers in the 90s.
U just witnessed a living legend, full of greatness, one of the best that ever did it.😎💣💥
It must be chilly outside, he's wearing an awful lot of layers. Poor guy must live in a cold climate.
Dustin Decarlo Is it because of his ethnicity?
Man can never be hot!
He is one of Thee Coldest MCs ever is why.
Don’t worry he’s used to being hot since he spits fire so much

Love it
of course he drops the mic on purpose because the music stops at the same time. Best punchline ever!!
This era was what rap is about!! A true emcee supposed to put on a show! not just sit and rap,,,hell no its a sport!!
The wonderful thing about hip hop is that it never remains static. It can never be defined by one period. Your pops may not feel what is hot in today's world, but he will always have fond memories of his era. Hip hop music that was made for my time was made by young people.

The GOAT! FYI, Kane gave Jay one his first real looks!
Probably his whole style too
Charisma and flawless delivery.
GREAT SHOWMANSHIP!!! 💪💪💪
This is not a rapper.... this is a true Master of Ceremonies...
Crazy to think this was uploaded 10 years ago
Super dope teamwork between Kane and the DJ !!!
Killed it
I comeback to this at least 5 times a year and that first beat is just a cold as when I watched it the very first time. I can see pimp c killing that beat too.
This nigga pants could drop, trip and fall and still come out victorious as if nothing bad didn't happen
Watching this in 2022 and that Mic Drop is still one of the most iconic moments in hiphop
AmazingLife ...
I don't have the patience to argue over who the GOAT is. But I can say this--and nobody can debate me--my FAVORITE emcee of all time is Big Daddy Kane. And I don't have to explain jack.
Whats the name of that song in which he drops the mic?
I think it’s just a freestyle
Top 5 of All Time. BDK still makes it look effortless.
2019?
You can tell Hov studied Kane! Top 5 in my book
i bet you 98% of the people who came from amazing life doesnt know who big daddy kane is...
