Big Daddy Kane has earned the right to pick and choose his collaborators. The certifiable Hip Hop legend has poured his blood, sweat and tears into the culture since stepping on the scene with The Juice Crew in the 1980s.
Fast-forward to 2020 and BDK is still doing his thing. On Sunday (April 19), Mr. Dark Gable revealed via Instagram what artists he believes would make the ideal collaboration or, what he called, his “late night musical Dream Team.”
For the verses, his picks are lyrical assassins Black Thought and Rapsody. The hook would belong to Cee-Lo Green of Goodie Mob and Gnarls Barkley fame, while DJ Premier would handle the drums and Mustard would do the music.
“My late night musical Dream Team,” he wrote in the caption. “This would be crazy in my opinion. @officialbigdaddykane @blackthought @rapsody @ceelogreen @mustard @djpremier. I can DEFINITELY see it!!!”
Instagram Live has been a popular destination for artists and fans as the coronavirus pandemic keeps people inside their homes. Over the weekend, iconic producers/songwriters Teddy Riley and Babyface attempted to throw down on the social media platform, but the event was marred by technical difficulties.
Twitter Drags Babyface Vs. Teddy Riley Battle From Here To Kingdom Come
RZA and DJ Premier, on the other hand, executed an Instagram Live battle earlier this month that was one for the books. Within two minutes of starting the event, over 90,000 people had tuned in. Some of the most recognized names in Hip Hop scrolled across the screen as the evening went on, including DJ Jazzy Jeff, Nas, Eric B., Killer Mike, DJ Numark, Cut Chemist, Black Thought, Questlove and Alchemist.
Fortunately for Riley and Babyface fans, a rematch has been scheduled for Monday night (April 20) at 8 p.m. EST.
Rapsody is not a lyrical assassin.
he should’ve said lil kim.
What’s your comedy special’s release date, CJ? You’re a hoot.
Oh yeah? Let’s hear you spit, lame.
Rapsody can definitely spit,if you have heard her stuff you might wanna hear her first
Your words are moribund
It’s me of course
I heard a rumor that you’re willing to suck dick to get streams on Spotify.
It’s not a rumor it’s a fact. I took him up on his offer but regret it now. His music is wack as fuck and his headgame is terrible. #Disappointed
Surprised he didn’t say 50 Cent feat Lil Pump
This dude hasn’t been relevant since the 80s go back to bed with your old ass
Why is it that young dudes are so threatened by older dudes now? I don’t remember hating older dudes like that when I was young. It must be the intelligence gap. Aaah, you know what it is? Resentment because they grew up without fathers.
Well it is true, BDK is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with resentment. He didn’t say he was wack
Only in hiphop. Every other genre of music respects the architects.
Give respect where it due , stop being negative
You are utterly pathetic, on a hip hop site but don’t even care to know big daddy kane you are a waste, irrelevance is in the minds eye bucko
I want a collaboration between my dick and Big Daddy’s smooth buttcheeks.
Go back to sleep ?, and do the world a favor, don’t wake up again!!!! Sayonara
Nate Dogg (R.I.P) or Kokane
APD, dude has still been slaying with the music that has come out over the years. Relevance is relative. Your opinions and contributions have never been relevant. Build, don’t destroy, especially when you aren’t relevant and haven’t contributed sh#$ to the culture. Your opinion holds no weight.
I’ve been in the studio with dude. He is nice and still is.
That would definitely be an interesting matchup.
Sounds like Big Daddy is still listening!
Why are you reporting on this irrelevant, washed up, senile n1cca? Ain’t nobody checking for him anymore. This ain’t the early 90’s. Not that he was that big during that period either.
Plonker
This is a hip hop site, best for yo lame ass to skidaddle to TMZ.
