Big Daddy Kane is widely regarded as one of the foremost rap stars of the 'old skool'. The Long Live The Kane Album was largely responsible for this tag. With a first track called RAW, you know you are in for a treat as the familiar James Brown samples come at ya. Then there is the ubiquitous Set It Off - which has gone through more sub-sampling than most other rap songs of that era.

In short, this album demonstrates what was good about the old skool rap, slick lyrics, fast paced, keen beats, fantastic 808-drum beats, and nifty scratching and sampling.

If you are after a good old nostalgic trip down memory lane to the old skool, this come highly recommended.

1988 was a pivotal year for me. I turned 20 that year, and it was also the year that I feel in love with Hip Hop, after hearing PE's 'Rebel without a Pause'. It was also the year that that this, BDK debut LP, was released onto a eager public. We had already been primed as to the lyrical prowess of this Brooklynite, due to the single release of 'Raw'. This is a classic release from the golden age, with only one bad track 'The Day You're Mine', which set the tone for the battle that Kane had with himself, in terms of being a battle type MC, or a Love God.
Despite being 20 years old, this hasn't aged a bit. Personnel favorites are, well to be honest, like my children, I find it hard to pick out one.
One CD that to my mind should be in any Hip Hop lovers' collection.

In '87 Kane released the Raw 12" on Prism records in the U.S.A. and was a classic instantly. I remember buying the 12" at the time and when the LP came out I bought it the same day, If your getting into Hip-Hop/Rap then you need to buy the classics and some of the much early Hip-Hop tracks from 1979 to 1985 and then move-on to the golden years. Alot of the tracks/LP's from the years around Kane's time are classics and not just words but really classics. I know that if you lived it and where there then it means more but, Trust me this along with others is well worth having.
Kane was a great rapper and it was all written by him (He wrote most of Biz Markie's album from the same era - also a great LP (Goin' off)) and Marley Marl at the controls you cannot go wrong. It is all good and some stand-out tracks are:
Long live the kane
Set it off
On the bugged tip
Ain'y no half-steppin'
word to the mother (land)
Raw is also good but the original 12" was alot better. (LP version is a remix) Also if you can track it down, the 12" version of 'I'll take you there' is great because it has the 'wrath of kane' on the B-side(this maybe on a best of CD..? don't know)
His next LP was good as well but not a classic like this one.Goin' Off [Deluxe] [Explicit]
