BIG DADDY KANE (NY) – FIRST TIME EVER IN AUSTRALIA

Oxford Art Factory, NSW

Thu 20 Oct, 2011

08:00 PM

KING ASIATIC NOBODY’S EQUAL. The dopest rhyme spitter and ghost writer from the ‘Golden Era’ of Hip Hop, Big Daddy Kane is simply a living legend!

Growing up in the notorious Bed-Stuyvesant neighbourhood of Brooklyn, Kane was educated first hand in the rapidly expanding culture of Hip Hop. He found strong influence in the lyrical proficiency of Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush Brothers and as a late teenager he joined a local group called the Juice Crew headed by legendary Marley Marl. His first single in 1987 called “Raw” was a nonstop barrage of abuse upon the mic without a pause for breath, Kane had proven he had what it took and stole centre spotlight from the Juice Crew only to pursue a solo identity. He continued to build an unforgettable array of gold standard joints such as “It’s a big daddy thing“, “Ain’t no half steppin”, “Warm it up” and “Smooth Operator” amongst countless others. Having also given starts to the likes of Jay-Z, Biz Markie and Roxanne Shante, you can see why he is regarded as one of the true pioneers and immortals of the hip hop game.

It’s amazing to think that in a career spanning over 25 years Australia has never witnessed the magic of a Big Daddy Kane live show…that wait ends in October with a show promising to deliver all the classics that influenced countless MCs and defined to many a generation and lifestyle.

LONG LIVE THE KANE!

Is The Narcicyst ‘Rap’s Khalil Gibran’ ?

Is The Narcicyst ‘Rap’s Khalil Gibran’ ?

Well. I’m not too sure about that as I essentially only got listening to Iraqi/Canadian politically aware MC, Poet & Author “The Narcicyst’ about a week ago.

What I can tell you nonetheless is that I’m seriously impressed by what the man has to offer to Hip Hop; Well-constructed rhymes, political messages and even an odd reference to my favorite Lebanese poet Khalil Gibran. He may not be circulating masterworks comparable to ‘The Prophet” as yet, but he is one of the few MC’s dropping Real-world knowledge & consciousness if you ask me. The more I listen to the more it is  evident the man was first and foremost a poet/writer and literature enthusiast way before he picked up a microphone.

It would be great to see what he has to say this Wednesday in his element in a spoken word setting at Tonic this week.

Check out P.H.A.T.W.A ( not sure who put the clip together either but that pretty bloody crafty too)

The Narcicyst – P.H.A.T.W.A

One Mic @ Tonic (Wed 11th May)

“ONE MIC” is Tonic’s First Spoken Word night featuring some of Sydney’s established and emerging performance poets, bringing to life words that are essential to be digested, words that are essential to be heard, words that dispense a sense of light love and laughter, and words that carry responsibility.

His poetry addresses the ideological complexities of power and politics, deconstructing, critiquing, questioning and celebrating humanity in one breath.

+ Local Poets on the night include;

  • MILES MERRILL: Miles Merrill is the creative director of the literary arts organisation, Word Travels. He is also a writer, performer, facilitator and event co-ordinater who combines poetry with theatre, experimental audio, hip-hop beats, stand-up and occasionally political confrontation.

He is synonymous in the Spoken Word Poetry movement combining performance theatre, song and dance to make you appreciate life just a tiny bit better.
