Classic. That’s all I have to say about this hip hop album right here. I still find it hard to believe that this album is 20 years old. Long Live The Kane is the album that put both Big Daddy Kane and Marley Marl on the map. Marley Marl, of course, produced this entire album and you can definitely tell. Marley Marl likes to use a lot of James Brown and classic break beats in his production, but that’s what made the 80s golden era hip hop sound. This sample set has nothing on Long Live The Kane, as you’ll find yourself wanting to hear Big Daddy Kane rip in with a dope verse. So if you don’t have this album, make sure you go out and get it!

I remember listening and rewinding, listening and rewinding “Ain’t No Half-Steppin” and “Raw” continuously to get the lyrics down. BDK was the ish.
BDK still IS tha ish! Did you hear his verse on Jazzy Jeff’s “The Garden”?
Thanks a lot Kevin, MASSIVE respect for what you do !!!
In fact, it’s my first comment but I download all your original samples sets, shame on me.
LOL, much appreciated Numba.
Thanks again Kevin
Yo man, i check out ”Hip Hop Is Read” & found the ”Big Daddy Kane” ”It’s A Big Daddy Thing” sample set, all good but they missed the track i needed most, the break to ”Big Daddy’s Theme” i was gutted man!! P.s Y’all Should do a ”Stezo” ”Crazy Noise” set, i already got half of it, including the break to ”To The Max”, proper tuff tune!”!!!!!! Peeeeeeaaaace!!
