On November 30, 2023, IDEA GENERATION and Tres Generaciones Tequila hosted an event with rapper Big Daddy Kane.
The legendary MC and IDEA GENERATION Founder Noah Callahan-Bever sat down together in Brooklyn, NY in celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop and Tres Generaciones Tequila. In front of a live audience, the Smooth Operator himself and NCB discussed Kane's iconic career, getting the only sample ever cleared by Prince, hitting the studio with Rick James in the '80s, being left of the Batman soundtrack, and the many challenges he's faced in his career and how he's continued to persevere. The room was packed with fans sipping on Tres Generaciones Tequila, and the after party was jumping thanks to DJ Perly and DJ Drewski.
Special thanks to our partners at Tres Generaciones for bringing this experience to life. More about Tres: www.tresgeneraciones.com/

What a legend
Legend: an overused word, but not the wrong one.
Facts got to be top 10 greatest coming from Brooklyn I met him once in Al bee square mall downtown Brooklyn it use to be the hangout. He said what’s up Chief to me never will forget that. Cool brother salute 🫡
Even has your first name⁉️⁉️⁉️
I cannot say it enough. There is nothing wrong being a well spoken hip hop artist. We owe it to the culture to emulate our forefathers. The music can evolve but we have to remain as educated as possible. Kane has always been a mentor. From fashion to rhyming to self confidence. To be a hip hop icon because of sales is one thing, but to be an icon with pride in what you accomplish as a humble person is priceless. Long Live the Kane. And I want that jacket.
You can have the jacket, I want the hat!! Lol...speaking well was seemingly frowned upon in Hip Hop because it meant you weren't "street" enough...salute to Kane and his well spoken peers for keeping it really real...Long Live the Kane!!
Couldn't of said it better.
@@SilvaBlakkit is only recently frowned upon. Same with sports. Until this century, they were usually intelligent and well spoken.
I want em both
@@isiahbraun8704 looooool!! You can have one or the other, which one would you choose?
Man as a kid I thought I was BDK...He had it all...Perfect rapper💯💯💪🏾💪🏾👑
That offbeat snare on "Raw" single handedly carried jungle and drum n bass.
I thought Kane's Get Into It was incredible. That was the first song I heard from him. The A-Side to Something Funky & Rhymin' With Biz. His rap style on that song was ridiculous.
All Massive
Kane sits on the throne with RAKIM as the greatest to ever grip the iron mic 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Amazing interview. Salute to Big Daddy Kane one of my all time favourite MC's 👑✊🏾
🫡
this dude asks some really fucking great questions man
I idolized this man as a teen.
Happy 35th anniversary to Big Daddy Kane's debut album!
Yo that Rick James Impression was on fucking point. Surprised tf outta me. Salute the one of the greatest of all time. BDK
The ip man of rap .. nobody’s equal ..👏
I swear I absolutely love hearing a rick james rip or prince rip stories man thoes guys were amazing 😂
This interview was thorough

👍🏻@@TheDoknoh
Big Daddy Kane is one of the greats. Hoping we get another album from him. I enjoyed this interview!
Old School Hip Hop stories are the best stories
Kane stillrocks a crowd. Dope interview.
Kane you are loved brother. This interview is well structured.Its easy to ask general questions A true interviewer must ask the highly challenging questions and you have done an excellent job.
1 hour of pure hip hop convo. I dig this 💯🔥🔥🔥
🙏🙏🙏
The rapper that was most influential on me. I wanted to be Kane. Coolest rapper ever!
'....88 time to set it straight,
and ain't no half-steppin;
WORD.... I'm ready! '
This was amazing. His track ‘Young, Gifted and Black’ was so hard… as were many other tracks. ‘Another Victory’ was hard, too.
In my Top 5 GOATS DoA! Long Live The Kane!
58:01 Leave it to Pusha T to ask a question involving Kane😭
The interview guy is awesome, he does good research🔥 no one else asks questions like this.
He's been around for years. One of the few solid writers in Hip-Hop. #sohh
@@meatyyumsteveSohh forum member from 2001 to 2012 🙌🏽
@@truthteller5521 I own SOHH. Wow.
Kane from a generation that was street but knew how and when to turn the streets on and off when necessary
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !*
_Tappin' in from South Central LA_
Salute to the Kane ✊🏾
I grew up around the time when Run DMC was beginning to blow up. Back in the early 80's ('83 on up) there were many count down music video shows. I'd sit thru all of the androgynous pop videos hoping a Hip Hop video would show. I was 10 or so when 1580 KDAY, the first all Hip Hop radio station was born here in LA so this music was a heavy influence on my generation.
Big Daddy Kane was my first 'favorite artist'. Raw came out and was hard ! But what did it for me was Ain't No Half Steppin'. To this day is still one of my favorite songs. And back then, his "foe" in the video looked almost exactly like a friend of mine named Domino (RIP). We used to tease him about it all the time !
I remember the first time I heard Get Into It. I was at a salon getting a Jheri Curl 😂 They had a little juke box and it came on. I didn't know what it was and it had been yearrrrs since I'd heard it again.
I remember walking to a local supermarket which contained a small record store to get Long Live The Kane on cassette tape. I wore that b*tch OUT ! 😂
That second album is still a banger as well ! One of my favorites I still listen to in my lowrider is Young, Gifted and Black. That horn !! My sh*t was also Wrath Of Kane ! One of my relatives who knew I was a heavy Kane fan thought I only liked it because it was by him, because he didn't really like it.
That Prince Of Darkness album had some hard songs as well. I still listen to The Lover In You, Prince Of Darkness, but my favorite fromthe album is Groove With It.
I can obviously go on forever about Kane but I'll land my plane with this:
One of the coldest of his time. Much love, respect and reverence 🙏🏾
awesome interview. Great questions.
Despite what people may say, Taste Of Chocolate was amazing. Even lookin back on it, i think it was ahead of it's time.
Ok, if you say so
"Do I want vanilla? Or do I want a taste of chocolate? Nah, I want something slamming."
If Taste of Chocolate was the debut album they'd be no issues but the change was night & day from the first 2 albums. Especially the 1st one. Love Mr Pitiful btw
Listening to it now, it's not bad BUT it doesn't hold up to LLTK or IABDT.
@@pablodadosKane would of body that dude
Glad To See Big Daddy Kane; A Legend, Yes
Kane's a good dude. A legend & one of thé best to ever do it.

THE LIVIN LEGEND, GAVE UP PROPS TO PRINCE, ANOTHER GREAT LEGEND OF ALL TIMES (REST IN GLORY). ONE OF THE BEST INTERVIEWS IVE SEEN DONE RESPECTFULLY AND SHOWED THE WISDOM OF KANE!
I was at the versuz too , it was dope. This is great interview
RESPECT! ✊🏾
Kane was like a SuperHero to us kids growning up. Aint a dam thing changed. I almost as much gray in my beard as big bro now.. but he's STILL a SuperHero.
This man right here! Legend! Mr. BIG DADDY KANE! I look up to him, admired him. Wanted to be him. A true Hip Hop legend. The GOAT Great interview.
LONG LIVE THE KANE !!! ONE OF THE GREATEST ❤️🎹🎙️
The LV bucket hat and jacket are fire.... salute BDK
Big Daddy Kane the only man to go up against Dolemite and live to tell it✊🏿
Salute to Kane for being a staple in hip-hop! This interviewer is thee best hands down. From the preparation to the respect… top tier
Ima finish watching the entire interview if it takes a week 🎉
I love hearing about stories from the OGs. I really really love the love he showed to Rick James. He put a lot of Black artists on his tours and showed them BOTH sides of show bidness.
Keep up the great work Noah.
My top favorite rapper 🎤🎶
Kane is the man🙏🏿👊🏿💪🏿👑
Great interview
Shoutout to the interviewer he really gave him his flowers Big Daddy Kane is a Multi-talented MAN 💯
I've been watching the "Big-Daddy" interviews on RUclips for the last year.
This is the best one yet, and the Louis Vuitton outfit is classic.dope.
Thank you! Grateful this interview had a legitimate trade craft discussion. Let’s be real, Big Daddy Kane is one of the best rappers ever. But also a great musician and all about the music. I really appreciated his reference to phrasing, specific tempos and what works best for him. I could go on forever…..my favorite sample and lyrics in rap history is Another Victory with the Booker T and The M.G.s cut Melting Pot with a Steve Cropper guitar riff. Handful of rappers with confidence and skills to hang with the samples on BDK’s tracks. He phrases like a bebop horn player…..this is what greatness sounds like.
Rick James Wonderful is amazing.
'88 Nassau Coliseum... Biz leads off the set and Kane, Scoob and Scrap come out blazing minutes later.
Kane is the truth.
Kane is my dude!
Well done. Probably in the top 5 interviews. Up there with the Preemo interview.
Dope interview 💥💥💥💥💪🏾
Very Dope BDK 4 life❤
great interview!!!
Something from Kane that really resonates for me. Elevate your game. You have to be willing to change with the times. Great message for the ages!
That part!
Man great interview
It’s the Kane ….RAW
for the Prince fans: go to 1:10 as the approx. starting point where Kane talks about meeting Prince. And BTW, what a great interview with one of the godfathers of rap and hip-hop!
GREAT SHOW IS THE HOST STEVEN BALDWIN IVE BEEN SMOKING ALL DAY. 1❤❤
One of the greatest to ever pick up the mic...a legend!
He remembered everything in his life except for the SYMPHONY. Long live the KANE
yes, and I've heard pieces of the story in other interviews. I guess he just didn't want to get into it today.😂 Long live the Kane!
I heard it was some legal stuff that happened with The Symphony. No one in the Juice Crew talks about what happened.
That couldn't happen today.
Wonderful convo
Rakim is the James Brown of Rap, Big Daddy Kane is Sly Stone...Kool Keith is George...lol
DAMN, KOOL KEITH STILL *”HOUSING THINGS‼️‼️‼️”*
@@cld_crush_brthers_ultra_ma60 what?
Dope interview
Warm it up Kane!!!
Respect to Bdk. Very honest interview
dope interview.......
👁️❤your interaction
Long Lived The Kane (Hip Hop Royalty).
Kane's Lyor Cohen impersonation is hilarious. 🤣
Was blessed to meet Kane Twice.. The first time was at the premier of Posse somewhere in midtown. My brother worked for Warner Bros at the time and got me a pass. I took a girl that asked me to her prom. We were getting friendly and just at that time Kid Capri and Kane were walking up the aisle.. Kid Capri hit us with "looks like yall making ya own movie" ..lol. The second time I met him I was trying to get to Astoria from Harlem over the Triboro Bridge. I had missed the last M60 bus from 1st Ave at like 1am. I wasn't about to walk all the way back to Lexington to catch the 4 Train. So back then, EZ Pass didn't exist and the toll was like 5-6 bucks cash. So I figured I'd ask if I paid somebody's toll they'd give me a lift to the other side of the bridge. I saw a Mazda MPV pull up at the light. I hit em with the question and the driver said bet. I get in and It's none other than Mister Cee driving and Kane in the passenger seat. NYC is bugged. I've met damn near every hip hop hero I've ever had here.
Prince cleared a guitar sample for Public Enemy's Brothers Going To Work It Out.
Yo I forgot my man played in the movie Posse,dang good movie ,got to get the DVD since VCRs have played out
Kane... You were really r and b in those two albums, but dark chocolate and prince of darkness were really underated albums. I love those two albums. I still play them today. people need to listen to those two albums more
i literally love seeing our hip hop legends still here, still looking good, still healthy, and still pushing knowledge/experience. all these new rappers “don’t wanna be rapping till they’re 40” shit is so lame.
Big up kane
