Big Daddy Kane was one of the first rap artists to take on the suave pimp persona so prevalent in hip-hop today. As a lyricist for Marly Marl's Juice Crew, Kane penned lyrics for, among others, Biz Markie, before embarking on his own career in 1989. Blending classic soul samples, an effortlessly smooth yet intense flow, and lyrics that referenced both the trials and tribulations of being a ladies' man and, oddly enough, the Black Muslim lifestyle, Kane was an influential artist who presaged many of the trends in both hip-hop and R&B that would emerge in the decades that followed.
