Rakim and Kane are way above any of today’s studio puppets. I told a guy Rakim was the best rapper of all time and he said who is that? I just let it go moved past it no time for it.
Graduated HS in '89.. So miss coming home and watching rap city and YO! MTV Raps.. God those were good times.. Too Short, EPMD, PE, Run DMC, Beasties, Eric B & Rakim, Too Short, Digital Underground, D Nice, Dj Quik, Special Ed.. Pioneers..
People could wait for new album to come no cd I tunes etc or the radio wbls ktu nyc was Raw ! This sound the same but you had to be in the 80 party 🥳 days coming big speaker he was Greatest at the time jay and biz Ole Fl🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉er hell of rhyme writing skill juice crew !
Slick Rick, KRS, Rakim, G-Rap and Kane completely changed the game late 80's, meanwhile Wu-Tang, Mobb, Nas, Naughty, Big L and Redman dominated the 90's.
Old school rap is always the best love it and i love listening to it when ever it plays !!!! Thanks for all the great lyrics and good times and memories! !!!!!!
Hell,yeah---this was the rap classic to define all rap classic by back in the day! I got the cassette this on and played the living hell out of it back in the day. More than two decades late, it's still one badass song.
nozzyboibeats it is simple what do you mean a break drum beat a trumpet that’s pressed every bar and then a simple chorus melody with Occasional scratching
It was difficult trying to buy real hip hop in Australia in the 80s (peace to Central Station Records before they became a techno-wanker specialists) - but I had this on 12 inch vinyl & it featured on the classic "Colors" soundtrack! My man Kane!
This song made me Kane fan as a Shawdy, but it gives me chills because it makes me think of preteens and teens selling crack, getting swept up in the judicial system or worse. This song was literally one of the soundtrack songs to that moment in time, seeing that with my own eyes, every one was playing this when it dropped. 😞
I like some of today's rap but you can not beat the old school masters...... Big Daddy Kane in particular is one of my favorites ...Im 43, from England and I grew up on this music ... I love love love it ..... ;)
+Killa Bee Nah during Kanes era you couldnt be a sucka or a wall flower at the House Party lol so knowing how to dance with the fly girlies was a must for all the real rappers!
I remember flying to New York at 16 on my own and this was everywhere pumping out every car every house every shop it was pure fire. I grew into a man on that trip.
This the first rap that came out in the first 80s we have came a long way since then people the 90s that took over but boy 2024 is the New millennium rap I love it I'm talking about the male rappers only I love myself❤
This is hip hop at it's finest and I wish rappers right now sounded this good on the mic. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017

G Rap for me
One of the most perfectly constructed, produced and written rap songs ever created.
Even in 2023 this shit still hittin hard classic record
One of the best hip hop tracks of all time. Caused a sensation when Kane first dropped it and it still sounds fresh.
To. This. Day.

Even after all this time, still no rapper who can compare to Kane or G rap in their prime
This is an example of REAL HIP HOP, DA BEAT,DA LYRICS, DA FLOW...REAL HIP HOP
Slick Rick, KRS, Rakim, G-Rap and Kane completely changed the game late 80's, meanwhile Wu-Tang, Mobb, Nas, Naughty, Big L and Redman dominated the 90's.
Can't forget Big as far as the 90s are concerned.

I love this late 80's rap.
Kane and Rakim top 5 to ever do it. If you disagree you don't know the game.
Chuck D up in that mix
I remember a mix tape Rakim diss kane in a freestyle it was dope and crazy. Im still looking for that mix song
I remember he said "I don't sniff kane to get raw,
Can't forget KRS, BIG L, AND EPMD ‼️
Kane in his prime was a brute force unparalleled by none.
Best mc of all times ..in my opinion 🥇
this track STILL slams!!
William Mason As the world turns🌎🌍🌏
Straight bars .......... where did hiphop go? ??
to the south.
Got diluted and turned pop
Down the toilet with a few exceptions.
The most underrated solo rap performance of All Time!!
Old school rap is always the best love it and i love listening to it when ever it plays !!!! Thanks for all the great lyrics and good times and memories! !!!!!!
Kane doesn’t get his due respect! He’s always been in my top 5!
Hell,yeah---this was the rap classic to define all rap classic by back in the day! I got the cassette this on and played the living hell out of it back in the day. More than two decades late, it's still one badass song.
This is just straight bars on a simple beat...RAW
this beat is far from beeing simple, my little padawan
nozzyboibeats it is simple what do you mean a break drum beat a trumpet that’s pressed every bar and then a simple chorus melody with Occasional scratching
Good and good more good. Thanks

golden age of rap , Kane ruled it. he had everybody walking around with 3 and 4 cuts in their eyebrows
Rakim you mean
I didn't do the eyebrow cuts, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
@RogeMan that's your opinion bruh
Big Daddy Kane's flowing lyrics served over a plethora of old school raw beats
This track got me instantly into hip hop at 15. Legendary!

It was difficult trying to buy real hip hop in Australia in the 80s (peace to Central Station Records before they became a techno-wanker specialists) - but I had this on 12 inch vinyl & it featured on the classic "Colors" soundtrack! My man Kane!

RAW LYRICS
[Here it comes...]
[Since the far-off days when man first heard a scratchy noise
On a cylindrical drum accompanied by staccato human tones
It has been his aim to add breadth and depth, to give realism
And spaciousness, and, even where it applies, to convey actual movement]
[Verse 1]
I start to go, my rhymes'll flow
So, get up and dance cause Kane said so
If you were lounging around it's time to get up
Pardon my expression, but I'mma tear shit up
I appear right here, and scare and dare, a mere musketeer
That would dare to compare, I do declare
Getting busy is where it's at
But what you're saying, you wouldn't get a point for that
Cause you're a featherweight, and your rhymes you carry light
But I drop bass just like Barry White
So how could you think that you pose a threat?
You say you're rocking, how many shows you get?
All your vocals go local on the M-I-C
Mines go a great distance, like AT&T
I'm not new to this, I'm true to this, nothing you can do to this
Fuck around with Kane and come out black and blue for this
So, yo, go for what you know
Attempt to debate so I can humiliate
We can go rhyme for rhyme, word for word, verse for verse
Get you a nurse, too late, get you a hearse
To take you to your burial ground
Because the Big Daddy Kane always throws down
Correct, I get respect, I'm out to collect
Cash money, cause I get raw
[Break]
Everybody get up! (x4)
Kane: boy do I hate a...
I'm coming! (x5)
[Verse 2]
Here I am, R-A-W
A terrorist, here to bring trouble to
Phony MC's, I move on and seize
I just conquer and stomp another rapper with ease
Cause I'm at my apex and others are below
Nothing but a milliliter, I'm a kilo
Second to none, making MC's run
So don't try to step to me, cause I ain't the one
I relieve rappers just like Tylenol
And they know it, so I don't see why you all
Try to front, perpetrating a stunt
When you know that I'll smoke you up like a blunt
I'm genuine like Gucci, raw like sushi
To stage a rage is what rap did to me
To make me want to create chaos and mayhem
Cold rock a party until the A.M
I'll make a muscle, grab the mic and hustle
While you stand dazed and amazed, I bust a
Little rhyme with authority, superiority
And captivate the whole crowd's majority
The rhymes I use definitely amuse
Better than Dynasty, or Hill Street Blues
I'm sure to score adored for more without a flaw
Cause I get raw
[Break]
Everybody get up! (x5)
[Verse 3]
Give a speech like a reverend, rappers start severing
And in my lifetime, believe I've never been
Beaten, or eaten and just tooken out
You know, come to think about it, I keep MC's looking out
And real nervous when I'm at your service
Give me that title, boy, you don't deserve this
I work like a slave to become a master
And when I say a rhyme, you know that it has to
Be perfectly fitted, cause I'm committed
The entertainer and trainer and Kane'll get with it
I go and flow and grow to let you know
I damage ya I'm not an amateur but a pro-
-fessional unquestionable without doubt superb
So full of action, my name should be a verb
My voice will float on every note
When I clear my throat, that's all she wrote!
The minute that the Kane starts to go on
Believe it's gonna be smooth sailing so on
As I put other rappers out of their misery
Get them in a battle and make them all history
Ruling and schooling MC's that I'm dueling
Watch them all take a fall as I sit back cooling
On my throne, with a bronze microphone
Hmm, God bless the child that can hold his own
Cause I get raw
[Break]
Ain't it good to you? (x3)
Documentary: here's an experiment to begin with...
[Verse 4]
Twenty-four sev chilling, killing like a villain
The meaning of raw is Ready And Willing
To do whatever is clever, take a loss, never
And the rhymes I bust, coming off is a must
And I come off hard with rhymes that are odd
I rip the microphone and leave it scarred
Never smoking or hitting or taking a sniff
Only crushing MC's that be trying to riff
I get strong and titanic, do work like a mechanic
Make MC's panic, they all get frantic
And skeptic, like a girl on a contraceptive
As I rock but hey, what you expected?
I'll get raw for you just like a warrior
Rapping like a samurai and I'll be damned if I
Ever let a Fisher-Price MC hang
Their rhymes are toy, nothing but yin-yang
So if we battle on the microphone
Bring your own casket and tombstone
And I'mma preach your funeral
Tell me who in the world could ever come with more
I get raw
Never gets old. Quentisential def.
Serious tune. Cheers :)
Still love the heeeeck outta this song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 R-A-W 🕺💃
