Widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers during the ‘golden age’ of hip hop (1986–1993), Kane’s experimentation with r&b beats and his alignment to the Five Percent faction drew criticism. Later albums, such as Looks Like a Job For…, were acclaimed, but he was never able to return to the commercial and artistic success of It’s a Big Daddy Thing. However, he still tours extensively and is involved in several upcoming projects. He recently featured in Morcheeba’s hip hop trip song ‘What’s your Name’.
During 1996, before the murder of 2Pac, it was said that Pac intended to start his own label, Makaveli Records, featuring promintently East Coast acts; one of the artists he intended to sign was Kane, and the two even recorded a song before the rapper’s death, entitled Wherever U Are.
Big Daddy Kane has posed for Playgirl and Madonna’s Sex book. As an actor, he debuted in Mario Van Peebles’ western, Posse.
Big Daddy Kane is famous for his pimp persona that is portrayed in his lyrics. He is famous for the title of his song, “Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy”. The backronym “King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal,” is often applied to his moniker.

It's crazy how so far ahead of their time MC's like Kane, KRS, Rakim, etc. were. Their lyrics, delivery, creativity, etc. still excel over many in the game today.
