As far as hip-hop is concerned, Big Daddy Kane is without question one of those immeasurable talents, whose rapid-fire cadence changed the game and paved the way for so many that followed. And if you ever ask him, that's precisely what he'll tell you.

Modesty has never exactly been the man's strong suit, but one thing's for sure when it comes to Kane; there certainly ain't no half-steppin'.
