Royce Da 5'9 says Big Daddy Kane couldn't out rap a picture of Jay-Z

[verbaltelekinesis]

It's not the factual basis of what he said, it's the fact that it didn't need to be said.

I guarantee if Jay were in the room when Royce said this, he would stop it immediately!!!! Kane is the only rapper I've seen Jay openly admit he was inspired by. He has said on multiple occasions that Kane made Jay-Z possible.

did he ever cite jaz-o as an influence?

I’m sincerely asking

Would love to see how he’d respond if Elzhi were to say Royce couldn’t out rap a picture of him...

Probably wouldn't say much, Royce has already talked on the prowess of Elzhi and how he's a juggernaut with the rappin

He said "yea that shyt influenced me. It influenced me to turn that shyt off".

Royce is a clown.

The song didn't inspire him to rap, i didn't see anything wrong with what he said there. Royce didn't start rappin period, writing included until the early 90's or so/high school years. His gods of rap were the Nas, Jay's, Ras Kass's and etc

Y’all dudes so fake/dishonest with this rap shyt. Cats like Rakim, Krs, & Kane could only be goats based off impact. Not their catalog of music. It’s rappers that I hardly mess with that just has more music I like from them than legends. y’all shyt on rappers way worst. So stop trying to make these celebrities more special than us.

Take Kane's body of work from the 80s and early 90s out of it.

Kane TODAY will wash most rappers out now on the mic. It's beyond ludicrous to act like Kane is some throwaway nobody on any level. He's a fukking legend for a reason.

I'm seriously trying to understand what Royce was fukking thinking saying this. It's one thing to just say some blatantly stupid shyt. We all do that from time to time. But to shyt on an icon in your own field, who's cool as fukk to boot, that you have no beef with, and gain nothing from disrespecting him so hard? I just don't understand the shyt.

And it ain't like Royce isn't a student of the game, which makes this shyt even all the more perplexing.

Plenty times

Of course, Jaz name been dropped constantly in Jays music itself

I've noticed how fame and clout can corrupt the most steadfast minds. Royce has gotten his flowers over the past years and it's been downhill with the talking points ever since. Dude been saying some disrespectful shyt but this is unwarranted,even his cac bestie would tell him so. The amount of disrespect he seems to be fine with dishing out,becomes a problem the second someone aims it his or his man's way. How and why does this second tier rapper feel comfortable taking shyt about the guy that imo is the first punchline rapper to have hit after hit and is a prototype as far as rhyme schemes and cadence. I am starting to back up off rap as a genre cause even the guys that should be about principle and respecting the foundation are on some bullshyt and say shyt just to have their mouths move,I'd wish Kane got the chance to ask him what the disrespect was supposed to be intended for cause Kane's legacy is cemented,Royce's isn't.

Yes he did.

ok cool...I don’t necessarily remember hearing him say so but I still would find it incredibly hard to imagine he hasn’t credited him with influencing him

Jigga is levels above Kane but no need to say it like that
