Here’s What That JAY-Z & Big Daddy Kane Photo Is About

    The legendary Big Daddy Kane blazed a trail in the 1980s for other MCs to follow, including JAY-Z who BDK actually helped mold early on in his career. As he told Funk Flex in 2018, Big Daddy Kane first met JAY-Z in 1988 and the two appeared on a mixtape together alongside Brooklyn Hip Hop vet Jaz-O.

    From there, BDK took JAY-Z and Positive K on tour, opening Hov to a whole new audience. On Saturday (June 5), Big Daddy Kane shared a photo of himself with JAY-Z’s arm around him, immediately sparking collaboration rumors.

    But as it turns out, Kane is producing a documentary called Paragraphs I Manifest and JAY-Z is one of the featured guests. The two Hip Hop heavyweights linked to film one of the doc’s final interviews over the weekend.

    Big Daddy Kane added in the caption, “Brooklyn In Da House!” while their famous friends flooded the comment section. Roc Nation artist Rapsody added a few heart emojis, Diggin In The Crates OG Lord Finesse wrote, “That’s what’s up brother,” while MC Serch of 3rd Bass added, “Can’t Wait!”

    Pusha T, Monie Love, Doug E. Fresh, Statik Selektah, The Beat Junkies’ Rhettmatic, Positive K and Fat Joe were among the many showing their excitement for what’s on the horizon for two of the culture’s greatest lyricists.

    1. 0 fcks Givin about what this wack as name jayz do. I’d be careful dude might sell something you own on the low

    2. 2 Legends Hov is due for a new album 4:44 was prob his best work since American Gangster. His guest appearances are hit and miss especially lining up with DJ Khaled. Once he’s in album mode its always potentially a classic. Who cares if he’s old, Legends never die

    3. Does a picture of two people always have to lead to collab rumors? *Jay-Z takes photo with Spider-Man* “OMG, Hov and Spidey are about to bring that heat!” Then they look stupid when it’s something else.

      1. People like you are annoying.

        Do you really expect folks not to anticipate a collab? That doesn’t make them anything.

        Damn, just go on about your business if you’re not one of them.

    4. There was speculation about Kane signing to Rocafella in the 90s/early 2000s.. I saw Jay bring out Kane as a surprise guest at Hot 97’s Summer Jam in 2000. Wish it woulda happened, Kane put an album out in 98 I think on a small label, but I think Rocafella could have helped put him back at least somewhat in the limelight, and introduced him to a younger audience.
