S/D: Big Daddy Kane AND The Beatnuts

Aside from ghostwriting the lyrics on the first Biz album, which is my favorite Juice Crew/Cold Chillin album from front-to-back, he also ghostwrote "have a nice day" for Shante.

Beatnuts. As teh guy above says "intoxicated demons" ep is classic, as is the debut album and the few rare cuts from that time like "40 oz" and "sandwiches part 2" but i reckon "stone crazy" is the best thing they ever did. I love how they completely flipped their production style on that to a more moody and minimal sound with all the Axelrod samples but still came with a flawless album where every track bumped.

They kinda fell off with "musical massacre", although it does contain some ridiculous tracks. Forget "watch out now", "muchachacha" is the highlight of that lp. The Juju verse on that is one of the nicest he ever spit. "Take it or squeeze it" was a return to form and remains underappreciated. The next two albums both have their moments but ever since Juju became a muslim and toned down his nastiness i've found them a little lacking.

Never understood how they haven't become bigger producers, though, because they always have beats and a knack for a good chorus which could be big hits and their outside production for Big Pun, all the Hydra Records artists like Screwball, Trifflicts/Gab Gotcha and Ghostface were always nice.

Beatnuts are great, too.

I lost track of Kane after Long Live, but it's an incredible album. I think that whole Father MC schtick lost me after that...

I bought a coat that didn't fit so I had it resized at a tailor down the street and she mentioned that Kane lives in Raleigh now and gets his stuff done at her place. And I was like, "hot damn, Big Daddy Kane and me take our clothes to the same tailor for alterations." The end.

dope!

"Hey everybody, this is Big Daddy with a word to the mothers. Unless you want to feel the wrath of Kane, you'll take all y'alls family's threads to J0hn D.'s Tailor, where there ain't no half-steppin', the cuts are buggin' and the deals are raw like Raleigh."

the beat to "ain't no half steppin'" is a masterpiece...funky funky funky...yet around the edges of it there's an eerie quality, some mystery

it's that "UFO" sample that gives it that

marley marl is basically forgotten huh

not by me!

MARLEY MARL'S HOUSE OF HITS POLL

nice. good comp but my #1 marley marl production isn't on that: Truly Yours.

rev, is the UFO sample the kinda twinkly piano?

no, it's THAT screechy sound that starts around 0:30.

the thing that sounds like whatever plays at the climax of a horror movie
