Big Daddy Kane – It’s a Big Daddy Thing Hoodie

Description

Kane didn’t just rap smooth. He made smooth a weapon.

September 1989. Big Daddy Kane follows up Long Live the Kane with It’s a Big Daddy Thing on Cold Chillin’ and Warner Bros. — and this time the Juice Crew’s most lethal MC takes the boards himself. Kane produced most of the record, with assists from Prince Paul, a young Easy Mo Bee, Mister Cee, and Teddy Riley, who brought the new jack swing bounce to “I Get the Job Done.” “Smooth Operator.” “Warm It Up, Kane.” Nice & Smooth riding shotgun on “Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy.” The album went Gold and landed on The Source’s 100 Best Rap Albums list.

This is golden-age Brooklyn at its most confident: rapid-fire battle bars one minute, silk-suit R&B lover-man the next, and nobody else could switch lanes that clean. The cover is pure Kane mythology — poolside, gold chains, champagne on ice, the women draped around the King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal. This hoodie puts that whole scene front and center.
