Pusha T: "Big Daddy Kane is better than Rakim"

[King P]

1) G Rap is the GOAT

2) Nah, BDK ain't better than Rakim. Lyrically, it's close. But career wise, not even close. Rakim had a much better career than BDK.

I'd take plenty of rappers of BDK.

And don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to diss BDK at all. He's a legend and one of the illest rhymers of all time and got 2 classics under his belt. But his prime was extremely short (87-89) and after that he fell off the map.

I mean, just look at all of BDK's peers; Rakim, G Rap, KRS-One, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Masta Ace, Slick Rick. All of them made quality and/or relevant music til at least 1995. Once 1990 hit, BDK fell completely off the radar.

For me it goes:

1. Big Daddy Kane
2. KRS
3. Slick Rick
4. Rakim
5. Kool G Rap
6. LL

All legends

Personally G Rap is my favorite of the bunch but won't fault anyone for favoring BDK over Ra or vice verse.

Once 1990 hit, BDK fell completely off the radar.

He just needed good production:

Yeah, it's all about personal preference when dealing with MCs at that level.

And yeah, BDK made some questionable career decisions, but he never fell off on the mic.

 

[up in here]

nah, i know its cool to throw dirt these days, and Kane is definitely a respectable top MC, but he aint fukking with Ra.

Its just like when people say "it was written is better than illmatic", get the fukk outta here, yall tryna be contrary and yall know it too.

i do think rappers of today could relate to BDK's style moreso then Rakim's..

anyway, i didn't know BDK made a video for young,gifted and black..prolly my 2nd fav song by him

 

[the rhyme king]

but back to the real topic neither one of them fukking with g rap

check this out

Yo, Marley gives the slice, I get nice,
and my voice is twice as horrifying as Vincent Price
goes deep, till you fell in a spell of a sleep,
and while I'm countin' the money, you count sheep.
When G Rap strikes the mic, I recite the type of hype that you like,
and make the people unite.
I grip up hips and zip up lips, step on reps, you flip and wanna sip on my tip.
Take a deep breath, because you don't have another left.
Comin' back like I'm avengin' my brother's death
Makin' veterans run for medicine,
cuz I put out more lights in a fight than ConEdison.
Rip the damn cage like I'm on a rampage.
And if you want rage, I'm-a make front page.
Read the headlines, suckers, todays the deadline,
your head is way past bedtime.
Can't kill though. Solo. Cuz you're still all...soft like a pillow.
My rap is rougher than Brillo.
So fear me, don't dare dare me,
and don't compare me to him when you hear me.
Talk about a battle but you ain't yet ready for war.
Your metaphor sucks more than a whore.
You can't replace me, ice me or ace me, bass me, face me, slice me or race me,
bite me or taste me -- I'll show you that I got force.
My rap burns your mouth like hot sauce.
Run for water while I break your tape recorder.
Server-to-sucker: the order is manslaughter.
Another rapper, G Rap wrecks, he's rated X, to mean the boy is sex. Next...
the amplifier gets used and abused. Pumps so loud, we might blow a fuse
