Kane is dope af and has a hell of a stage show. Rakim could do 20 of his best songs. Start each song off drop the mic and let the crowd finish each one. That’s the difference
I agree! Because, really, it wasn't close with krs! It was a great deal of respect! Kane, recited every word to his lyrics! Every word! KRS didn't. He was sticking the mic to the crowd, who didn't know all of his songs... They were clueless, however, when Kane began to recite his lyrics, they didn't know it his song! It was awesome to see, especially for those that were unaware that Kane was such a dominant lyricist! And at the end, he showed how classy and humble he was, sharing the story of KRS and Ms. Melody, moving him into his first place! Much love brother Kane! Growth!
He changed the game, he changed music, the whole trajectory of hip-hop. After him rap became more serious, "Weak ideas, irritate my ears!" and he was the first one that made Rap seen as metaphysical to the point where he was christened the God MC. But then Kane came along a few years later and his punchlines, flow, and the fact he could spit that double-time rhyme scheme like on RAW definitely made him a worthy rival of Rakim! LOL The main reason was they were like the first true gold and platinum rappers with knowledge of self!
@@byronherrera6114 All respect due to Melly Mel, "Every time you grab a spray can/ it's like the soul of Michaelangelo controls your hand!" Melly was that dude but he didn't last long and doesn't have enough content to really compete with Rakim or Kane.
Doug E was on point with where he was going wit studying the old school legend's stage shows and implementing things they did into his own shows cause Doug E's stage show back in the day wit the 2 DJs was F'n Incredible!!! His show was EXTREMELY Entertaining!
Salute...Good talks, good vibes, good to see Kane, Omar Epps dropping some 💎. Some good knowledge and facts. Big up for having the vision for this podcast Math. These are the talks we need to elevate the culture up and give our older heads their flowers.
Love the stories and positivity! Kane vs KRS-1 was 🔥 I did want to see Rakim and Kane go at it but was not upset when then the GOD KRS-1 stepped up to battle!! These 3 kats really made hip-hop step its lyrics up! BIG FACTS!!

I met Floyd in the summer of 1996 in Augusta, Ga. I’d just graduated from high school and the Olympics in Atlanta was about to start. He trained in Augusta. I was working at Kroger as a bag boy, and Floyd approached us and introduced himself to us. He was very humble. He told us he was fighting in the Olympics. When he walked off we were like “man I’d whoop that dudes ass.” Little did we know that joker would’ve murdered our asses! We didn’t know any better. Lmao!
To think that Kane has a song on the soundtrack for Omar's first Movie over 30 years ago and see them both, not only doing good but chopping it up together is amazing to see. Longevity and Consistency! 💪🏾
Brother Epps said something profound about that era of music. All the groups and MC's were original had focused on their particular gift as an MC. Peace and blessings
Damn, I don't know these cats personally because I've only watched them do their magic on screen (Omar Epps) or on an album (Big Daddy Kane)...but man I feel like I grew with these cats.

@@jomarcoliverman4971 That’s an opinion. I just think Ra is a laid back person naturally, and it translates in his music. It doesn’t mean he can’t turn it up a notch when he needs to. Verzuz may not excite him like it does all the other M.C’s, but he’s Rakim so we still revere him and want to see him.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
There’s nothing reallly out there that you can really compare to what Math is doing right now. You really don’t know who tf gonna pull up and they’ll pull back up. Salute!
I love Kane. But he must be out of his mind if he thinks he's beating Rakim easily or if at all. Rakim doesn't need dancing to move the crowd. Pun intended.

90's? Kane is late 80's For some reason ppl are afraid to acknowledge the 1980's hiphop scene. 1990's Kane was past his prime no diss to the legendary, Supreme gifted BK emcee that influence ey'thing from B.I.G. to Jay-Z but yeah... 80's was Kane not 90's bro.
They just got different styles. Kane is underrated but not messin' with Rakim. Rakim is strictly biz on the mic. Kane is high energy, wordplay, spits faster, hip-hop dancer and had more fun with his. Rakim got that laid-back flow, wordplay as well, but with that deep voice and that presence.

I own my own home Improvment business and listen this this as well as a few others while working. Next time I’m in NYC I would love to just stop by and be a fly on the wall. It just good to see how us brothers have grown and developed over the years. We weren’t able to speak like this back ints he day because we felt we had to be so dam hard but it’s refreshing to see now. I turned my 29 year old & 18 year old son to this podcast as well! Tell Math to keep doing his thing. I literally learned of him via this podcast & am now a fan. Salute!
I hear you brother I'm from Lynchburg and use to go to d.c. every summer as a child , my grand pops aunt and uncle lived up there 1740 Euclid avenue that's all I remember being so young when I would go visit.

Omar Epps is a living legend. To have worked with PAC, Ice Cube as well as Michael Rappaport and Tyra Banks…..he is cut from that cloth of the great era of movies and hip hop.
I saw Rakim and Kane in concert. Rakim out performed Kane, Slick Rick, Rae and Ghost. Rakims catalog and style and RHYMES are just way too much for Kane. Krs catalog was too much for Kane also. Rakim fathered many of these guys style. Kane not dancing with scoop and scrap no more. When you spitting lyrics people reciting every rhyme, you don't have to dance, throw your hands in the air and the regular. Rakim wrapped that mic cord around his arm and put that mic to his arm vein and that beat drop for microphone fiend!!!! The crowd goes WILD.
@@supremeodom9950 you don't have to dance to have a live stage show. DJ Quik, Black thought, Ice Cube and Busta Rhymes don't dance either and have incredible stage presence. It's not a knock on Rakim. And you're lightweight implying that Kane isn't an MC 😐
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ Shout out to Kane. ✊🏾✊🏾 As someone who grew up in the 80's off of and listened to hip hop music, Kane was my first actual favorite artist. When I heard Ain't No Half Steppin', that did it for me !
It's called Showmanship! I'm Glad they mentioned James! And EW&F! The only group I think they shoulda shouted out was P-Funk(Talk about a Stage Show ✊🏿)🤟🏿

Salute & keep doing your thing bro! I’m a total fan now. Peace & blessings to you and the whole crew of this podcast that I feel I personally know and can relate to sue to this podcast!
Math, you gotta check out Btuck9007’s comment. This is what it’s all about.
@@ILikeExoticStuff Bro I rarely ever comment on You Tube videos but I felt compelled to salute the brother and his whole crew. I literally watch this podcast daily. I own my own home Improvment business and listen this this as well as a few others while working. Next time I’m in NYC I would love to just stop by and be a fly on the wall. It just good to see how us brothers have grown and developed over the years. We weren’t able to speak like this back ints he day because we felt we had to be so dam hard but it’s refreshing to see now. I turned my 29 year old & 18 year old son to this podcast as well! Tell Math to keep doing his thing. I literally learned of him via this podcast & am now a fan. Salute!
I hear you brother I'm from Lynchburg and use to go to d.c. every summer as a child , my grand pops aunt and uncle lived up there 1740 Euclid avenue that's all I remember being so young when I would go visit.

Take care my brother and blessings I specialize in battle rap , storey telling, lyricismn wordplay bars stlyes free stlyes metaphores punches hooks, I can't wait for the world to hear disaster aka anihalation. Kaboom !!!!!!!!p0w!!!!!!!!!!! DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PEACE. 👊💪✊👊
Dammm Math Big Daddy Kane and Omar? 🔥🔥🔥 Salute King! Shared🙏🏽
I love both of them 😭❤️! I’m glad they didn’t do a Versuz, I could never choose one over the other💪🏽💯❤️❤️
You got the better sit down with Omar Epps🔥
Yea floyd did that more then once he even corrected the commentator on who he bet on in the football game in the middle of the fight
Yeah, when he overheard Lampley and said to bet on the Patriots.
That's the one I remember!
Math hands down got the best podcast from a rapper's perspective....
Beenieman vs Bounty Killer changed the texture of Verzuz #factthough
What a classic episode already !!!! Math salute all the way from London
BIG DADDY KANE 💯the reason my High top stayed fresh
This was so dope and iconic 🙌🏾 much respect for this video. Glad it was on my news feed .
Understandable. It was a great verzuz with him and krs. Give me Rakim vs G Rap and I'll be happy
I’m really happy for math Hoffa he really blew up I remember he had like 30k subscribers like 6 years ago and now he’s BOOMIN. Keep grinding champ
I'm with Math on the showmanship. That's not Rakim's forte. It's lyricism and Kane has both.
Kane's lyricism isn't on Rakim's level and Rakim's stage show energy is not on Kane's level
@@coolb8545 🎯
How many songs Kane give y'all 5 at the most so he has to entertain y'all with something else Rakim can go on for days
Rakim is a microphone fiend....not a stage fiend!💯
Respectfully bruh I miss you on the big stage battling. But I’m grateful that you have this platform and are prosperous. Keep going!
Omar Epps is a living legend. To have worked with PAC, Ice Cube as well as Michael Rappaport and Tyra Banks…..he is cut from that cloth of the great era of movies and hip hop.
Hands down this is the best podcast out real conversations on here! Salute Math!
I saw Rakim and Kane in concert. Rakim out performed Kane, Slick Rick, Rae and Ghost. Rakims catalog and style and RHYMES are just way too much for Kane. Krs catalog was too much for Kane also. Rakim fathered many of these guys style. Kane not dancing with scoop and scrap no more. When you spitting lyrics people reciting every rhyme, you don't have to dance, throw your hands in the air and the regular. Rakim wrapped that mic cord around his arm and put that mic to his arm vein and that beat drop for microphone fiend!!!! The crowd goes WILD.
There still need to be a Kane and Rakim Verzus. Rakim catalogue is way bigger and has more hits then Kane.
These are the TiTANS of MC ing. KRS ONE LL KANE G RAP RAKIM SLICK RICK CHUCK D
All truth
@Youbig Dummy so I made a mistake as I was typing... its not that serious smh lol
Really? Never seen him live, only recordings and I always thought he was a more reserved performer.
This show is crazy. Big up Math. Epps. Legendary Kane
Kane Is right I agree. Rakin Is laid back and not on a hype tip. Krs 1 vs kane was dope though and it worked.
Respect to all the brothers in the podcast. Legends
Kane is right. I've seen Rakim live. His catalogue is undeniable but his stage show isn't on par with Kane's.
Thats why you battle to put an end to the speculation. If one guy doesnt want it then its done. Its a TapouT
Rakim is an emcee he's not a dancer
@@supremeodom9950 you don't have to dance to have a live stage show. DJ Quik, Black thought, Ice Cube and Busta Rhymes don't dance either and have incredible stage presence. It's not a knock on Rakim.
And you're lightweight implying that Kane isn't an MC 😐
Well that's all Kane do
@@supremeodom9950 lol. You're talking like Kane is MC Hammer...
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !*
_Tappin' in from South Central LA_
Shout out to Kane. ✊🏾✊🏾
As someone who grew up in the 80's off of and listened to hip hop music, Kane was my first actual favorite artist. When I heard Ain't No Half Steppin', that did it for me !
It's called Showmanship! I'm Glad they mentioned James! And EW&F! The only group I think they shoulda shouted out was P-Funk(Talk about a Stage Show ✊🏿)🤟🏿
Parliament stage presence is unmatched
Kane crushes souls with the mic!
The Hip Hop scene needs a team collaboration of Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, and Kool G Rap!
This needs to be the format...get people like this in the shop. They look so comfortable
