D-Nice: I wish I was a kid again every day

I was listening 2 the radio yesterday and this song came on. Oh my gosh it brought back memories. This song was and still is the jam. Doing a little research on D-Nice is a short little journal on: A Lesson Learned From Big Daddy Kane

Around 5 years ago I was seriously contemplating a return to rapping. I had the feeling that the longer I was away from the music scene, people would eventually forget about my contributions to hip-hop. I sought the advice of my long time friend Big Daddy Kane and he had some serious reservations about me recording again. When I asked his opinion on the return of D-Nice, Kane's response was, "D, it's not a game out there. They don't respect old school artist the way they used to".

One of the things Kane said to me that still keeps me motivated was when he compared what he was doing to what I was doing. He said, "Man, you have your web development company and you no longer rely on hip-hop to eat. I rap because it's how I pay my bills. I can't get a job in McDonalds and have a kid telling me, Kane, let me get a burger and some fries, and no half steppin' with that either".

That was the reality check I needed.

Show your love 4 D-Nice and his song, I wish I was a kid again every day wink
