classic BDK ~ Ain't No Half Steppin

I’m with this
I’m just gonna sit here laid back to this nice mellow beat, you know
And drop some smooth lyrics
Cause it’s ? 8
Time to set it straight, knowwhati’msaying
And ain’t no half stepping
Word
I’m ready>

Rappers stepping to me they want to get some
But I’m the kane, so yo, you know the outcome
Another victory
They can’t get with me
So pick a bc date cause you’re history
I’m the authentic poet to get lyrical
For you to beat me, it’s gonna take a miracle
And, stepping to me, yo that’s the wrong move
So what you on, hobbs, dope or dog food?
Competition I just devour
Like a pitbull against a chihuahua
Cause when it comes to being dope, hot damn
I got it good, now let me tell you who I am
The b-i-g d-a-double d-y k-a-n-e
Dramatic, asiatic, not like many
I’m different, so don’t compare me to another
Cause they can’t hang, word to the mother
At least not with the principal in this pedigree
So when I roll on you rappers, you better be
Ready to die because you’re petty
You’re just a butter knife, I’m a machete
That’s made by ginzu, wait until when you
Try to front, so I can chop into
Your body, just because you try to be basing
Friday the 13th, i’mma play jason
No type of joke, gag, game, puzzle or riddle
The name is big daddy, yes big not little
So define it
Here’s your walking papers, sign it
And take a walk
As the kane start to talk, cause...


Ain’t no half-steppin? I’m the big daddy kane
(3 times)

My rhymes are so dope and
The rappers be hoping
To sound like me, so soon I’ll have to open
A school of mcing, for those who want to be in
My field in court
Then again on second thought
To have mc’s coming out sounding so similar
It’s quite confusing for you to remember
The originator, and boy do I hate a
Perpetrator, but I’m much greater
The best oh yes I guess suggest the rest should fess
Don’t mess or test your highness
Unless you just address with best finesse
And bless the paragraph I manifest
Rap prime minister, some say sinister
Non-stopping the groove, until when it’s the
Climax, and I max, relax and chill
Have a break from a take of me acting ill
Brain cells are lit, ideas start to hit
Next the formation of words that fit
At the table I sit, making it legit
And when my pen hits the paper, ahh shit!
I stop and stand strong over mc’s
And devour with the power of hercules
Or samson, but I go further the length
Cause you could scalp my cameo and I’ll still have strength
And no, that’s not a myth, and if you try to riff
Or get with, the man with the given gift of gab
Your vocab, I’ll only ignore
Be sleeping on your rhymes till I start to snore
You can’t awake me, or even make me
Fear you, son, cause you can’t do me none
So, think about it if you’re trying to go
When you want to step to me, I think you should know that...


Ain’t no half-steppin? I’m the big daddy kane
(3 times)

I appear right here and scare and dare
A mere musketeer that would dare to compare
Put him in the rear, back there where he can’t see clear
Get a beer, idea or near stare, yeah
So on to be want to be competition
Trying to step to me--must be on a mission
Up on the stage is where i’mma get you at
You think I’m losing?
Psst, picture that...


Ain’t no half-steppin? (3 times)
Mister cee, step to me...

The name is big daddy, you know, as in your father
So when you hear a def rhyme, believe that I’m the author
I grab the mic and make mc’s evaporate
The party people say, damn...that rapper’s great
The creator conductor of poetry
Et cetera, et cetera, it ain’t easy being me
I speak clearly so you can understand
Put words together like letter, man
Now that’s dictation, proceeding to my innovation
Not like the other mc’s, who are an imitation
Or an animation, a cartoon to me
But when I’m finished, I’m sure that you are soon to see
Reality, my secret technique
Because I always speak with mentality
I put my title in your face, dare you to base
And if you try and come get it, yo i’mma show you who’s with it
So if you know like I know, instead of messing around
Play like roy rogers and slooow doown
Just give yourself a break, or someone else will take
Your title, namely me, cause I’m homicidal
That means murder, cause I’m about to hurt a-
Nother mc, that try to get with me
I’ll just break him and bake him and rake him
And take him and mold him and make him
Hold up the peace sign...
Assalam walaikum!

another classic BDK ~ (I Work) I Get The Job Done

Kane] Hey yo Teddy
[Riley] Yo
[Kane] I ran into a young lady Maliya last night
[Riley] Word?
[Kane] Must have been her husband's payday
[Riley] Heheh
[Kane] because she bought me this here brand new
diamond link that you see me with on
[Riley] Mmm
[Kane] Smooth, you knowhatI'msayin? You know why?
[Riley] Why Kane?
[Kane] Cause I get the job done

Chorus: repeat 2X

"I work" (3X) "I work.. baby!"

[Big Daddy Kane]
The question at hand, is how do I love thee?
I count the ways but girls don't shove me
One by one you can come and caress me
Undress and molest me but you can't posess me
Because I love a young lady that's beautiful
but one that's smart for me, is more suitable
In other words, to make it simple and plain
You gotta have a brain in order to be Ms. Kane
But in the case of not becomin my lady
I take em eight to eighty, dumb crippled and crazy
Crisp and clean with no caffeine
and a pair of spandex or either tight jeans
Couldn't believe the ones with the Chinese cunt
but I'll take em with the weave hangin down to they butts
And if you step up in a large sum
Like Martin Luther King, I Shall Overcome
I get the job done

Chorus (+ Kane says "I get the job done!" every two lines)

[Big Daddy Kane]
Some of you ladies make moves too quick
And settle down, without havin a large pick
Rushin to becomin some pooh-butt's wife
and no longer do you enjoy, the married life
Well, I let you know this is a brand new year
so never fear, the Big Daddy is here
To do things in places your husband wouldn't
And do certain things he probably just couldn't
Let me sneak into your life, like a thief in the night
Lick your body all over and squeeze you real tight
Nibble all over your ear and give your back a massage
You'll say, "Oooh I like it just like DeBarge" (how large)
Smooth and mild I'll make you smile
Honey child and if you like then get buckwild
And when I turn her back on, you'll have to say
like Calgon, please take me away
So when your main course is doin nothin for ya
Just look at me as a tasty side order
that came into your life and brought a thrill
Cause any husband won't, I'm a neighbor who will, get the job done..

Chorus (+ Kane says "I get the job done!" every two lines)

[Kane] T.R., take it to the bridge, uhh!

[Big Daddy Kane]
Here's a perfect description of me
Six foot one, and dark and lovely
And if they're sayin black is beautiful, it's true not phony
I'm Brown-er than Bobby so won't you be my +Tenderoni+
And get a whiff of this nymphomaniac
and uhh, the date mack is ready to attack
and prove that I'm a pro and far from a rookie
Ain't no hair on my chest, but I'm one tough cookie
Whoever said you had to be one-hundred percent
masculine in order to be in?
I'd rather be more subtle and smooth and SOOTH
Girl, you won't disapprove
And I promise that you'll never forget
Hmmmmm, now what's a title to fit me?
A champ like Tyson, a Captain like Kirk, no
Employee of the Month, cause yo, I do work
The K-A-N-E is on the J-O-B
An expert, cause I get it D-O-N-E
So lights, camera, action - all hail the one!
That gets the job done

Chorus (+ Kane says "I get the job done!" every two lines)
Just Call Me Afrochick
I love you mom

Yeah, Ice came out like a champ.

I'm really glad he got his due. He had a great run from the mid-80's to the early 90's, he put "gangsta rap" on the map because he was a compelling storyteller.

P.S. -- 15 years ago, if you had told me that the one cable station that kept it the realest on hip-hop was VH1 I would have laughed myself to death. But it's true! They're gonna do a lot of these old school cats a big favor, and they're gonna do the current hip-hop audience a great service by showing them what REAL hip-hop was like.

I'm sorry, moonwalkbjrain, that's hysterical. and sad to the extent that hip-hop is more or less about a loop and a hook these days. From Kool Herc to Jam Master Jay to Terminator X, Kid Capri, Jazzy Jeff, and the incomparable DJ Premier, a great DJ is essential element in hip-hop. Sadly, the golden age of the pure dj is disappearing fast into the underground hip-hop and dance scene.

I was surprised as well that VH-1 seems to be going all out to make the Hip Hop Honors a real tribute to the genre. The genre we know and love.

Someone had to say it. Ice-T always gets looked over when people are timelining the evolution of hip-hop. KRS-One seems to get overlooked a bit, also. You start with "Rapper's Delight" and then move on to "The Message." And then we have the first rap megastars with RUN-DMC. Then, LL Cool J adds a romantic side to it. Then Public Enemy adds social concience, and so forth and so on. But Ice-T was right there with PE. His music is not as political, but it is very socially relevant. He was a great storyteller, and was one of the few "gangsta rappers" who never really glorified the lifestyle. He laid it out, the ups and the downs, and let the listener come to his own conclusion.

It's a jungle out there.

hell yeah!!! He had the best performance on there, although i do have to say that this year's hip hop honors was way better than last year's. Kane's performance gave me something to remember, and he actually "performed" like artists do, he gave us a show...even though he ain't 22 no more, at 37, he did those dance steps just like he just finished the video to it yesterday...


LONG LIVE THE KANE!!!!! with his sexy chocolate self!!! biggrin biggrin biggrin
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

He gave the best performance, even broke out some of his old dance moves. I felt Black Thought and Common did great at paying Big Daddy Kane tribute as well.


I wish The Grand Master Flash & Furious Five tribute was a little bit longer, they are the first great crew in Hip Hop History they should of gotten to do at least four songs.

shit, i love Common and have never heard him rap that fast before in my life, and then when he broke into that breakdance....whoo get it Common!!!!

Yes, Common's and Black Thought's tribute to Kane blew T.I. out of the water!!!

At first, I wasn't too happy when I heard that he was performing with Snoop. I mean I used to love Snoop Dogg, but recently, his shit has been getting really corny. But he and Ice together was hot, I will say. It was good to see Snoop sound hardcore again.

It's a jungle out there.

I have to admit that I didn't like the scratching either because it interrupts the flow of the song. One second you're groovin' and then you have to stop because the dj wants to scratch...I don't get it. At least with a loop (although, I'd prefer it not be a rip off of someone else's music) theres no interruptions.

well to undserstand Dj culture i guess u had to have been around it, ive been a dj for over 30 years and played in the parks in the bronx.so dont go knockin what brought real hip hop culture to the universe.



I'm not knocking anything I'm just stating my preference.

I'm sorry, moonwalkbjrain, that's hysterical. and sad to the extent that hip-hop is more or less about a loop and a hook these days. From Kool Herc to Jam Master Jay to Terminator X, Kid Capri, Jazzy Jeff, and the incomparable DJ Premier, a great DJ is essential element in hip-hop. Sadly, the golden age of the pure dj is disappearing fast into the underground hip-hop and dance scene.


I have to admit that I didn't like the scratching either because it interrupts the flow of the song. One second you're groovin' and then you have to stop because the dj wants to scratch...I don't get it. At least with a loop (although, I'd prefer it not be a rip off of someone else's music) theres no interruptions.


I'm not knocking your preference, and I like many of the new artists too, but I don't see how anyone could not associate scratching with hip-hop. It's the equivalent of an extended solo in a live rock performance. And, when done well, it adds to the enjoyment of the song.

Scratching is a lost art in hip-hop.

I do associate scratching with hip hop but, to old school hip hop. And I do love old school hip hop and I don't have a problem with ALL scratching I just don't like it when it (in my opinion) interrupts the flow of a song, especially when you're trying to dance to it.

Ice held that shit down, when colors came on I was hype.

At first, I wasn't too happy when I heard that he was performing with Snoop. I mean I used to love Snoop Dogg, but recently, his shit has been getting really corny. But he and Ice together was hot, I will say. It was good to see Snoop sound hardcore again.



Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't Snoop make remark about Ice T some years back saying he was a has been?

I suppose it's possible, but I doubt it. From everything that I've read, Snoop has always had a ton of respect for Ice-T.

And, not to be rude, Snoop wishes he had the lyrical skill of Ice.

It's a jungle out there.
