Saigon’s latest from GSNT3: The Troubled Times of Brian Carenard hitting Sept. 30th.

Hip-hop legend Big Daddy Kane and up-and-coming singer Alissa Cavallaro have teamed up for an anti-bullying collaboration they call “Don’t Be Pushed Around” to combat bullying in all forms.

King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal. It’s not every day we get to sit with a legend. Kane goes deep with his history, what he thinks about Mr. Cee, how he produced the majority of ‘Long Live The Kane’ with no credits, how Doug E Fresh taught him how to rock the crowd, how some cats from The Juice Crew wasn’t fuxin with him, how he really wanted to battle KRS-One, what Madonna smells like, how he shopped a young Jay Z with no success, why he started wearing purple silks and such… This one is a marathon, but with Kane, there’s no half steppin’.

In part 1 of ThisIs50′s interview with Big Daddy Kane talks about people debating if he is better than Rakim or not, being almost the same age as Jay-Z, his generation of Hip-Hop, remembers Biggie not wanting to collaberate with a certain big artist because he was a biter, and having sex with a girl before Tupac.

In part 2, Big Daddy Kane remembers when “Long Live The Kane” came out, how he met Biz Markie and the Juice Crew, why he decided to get married, Jack ask’ if he slept with Roxanne Shante and Madonna, and dropping the mic on stage.

Footage from Kane’s visit to Zagreb, Croatia where he performed for the first time ever at Club Pepermint. Also included in the movie is Big Daddy Kane’s freestyle on Blackout Rap Show (radio808.com) where Kane stopped by to have sit down with DJ Phat Phillie. The beat he rhymed on is Koolade ‘Get Down Butkus’ track from ‘Koolade Beats Rocky’ project.

Big Daddy Kane performs alongside Stones Throw funk outfit Connie Price and The Keystones in Japan… Check our man on the horn. This video surfaced almost a year ago, but didn’t catch our attention until it was Tweeted by Chuck D yesterday. There’s some additional footage of Kane and the Keystones from The Root Down in LA, recorded in 2008 below that.

Kane’s new R&B/soul outfit delivers this dope throwback video, featuring a verse from the Big Daddy himself. From the album, Back To The Future.

A week after he premiered his track (“What’s Wrong”) with Rakim, today we release the second in the series of Legendary Emcees on beats by Marco Polo with samples that were impossible to clear… we present “Nite & Day” f/ Big Daddy Kane (Scratches by Shylow).

Taken from Marco Polo’s forthcoming free-LP Newport Authority 2 as Marco states “I’ve recorded so much quality material over the last few years and I really want to share it all. It couldn’t all possibly fit on Port Authority 2; hence Newport Authority 2 came to be.”

Newport Authority 2 will feature appearances from Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Artifacts, Das Efx, Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Torae & Ruste Juxx all rocking over Marco’s production.

Yet, the project everyone should really be excited for is Marco’s Port Authority 2 LP which will be released this spring on Soulspazm Records. Port Authority 2 features appearances from Organized Konfusion (yes, a new Organized Konfusion track!!), Gangrene, Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Masta Ace, Posdnuos (De La Soul), Kardinal Offishal, Styles P, Nature, Rah Digga, Slaine, Celph Titled, Ill Bill, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, O.C. & many many more.

Big Daddy Kane’s new group, Las Supper (@LasSupper) releases their first single entitled “I Believe in Love Again”. It’s taken from their upcoming album, Back To The Future. The project is scheduled to be released on March 26th.

Big Daddy Kane discusses old school hip hop and the challenges of selling a young Jay-Z to music execs.

Recorded as a part of Nike’s #XX8DaysOfFlight promotion. Can’t argue with that.

Agreed, Taste Of Chocolate was a dope album. Prince Of Darkness was the bad one. Looks Like A Job For… even had it’s moments.

Jay-Z is performing eight dates at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Here, we see a new verses performed acapella, and in second clip, he brings out the legendary Big Daddy Kane, as well as Scoob and Scrap Lover. So dope….

Rakim and R.A. the Rugged Man at No Mystery studio working on a movie soundtrack; they take time off to kick it and speak on a swipe Rakim took at Kane back in the day.
