Since the mid-1980s, these two New York City lyricists were some of the most legendary components in Marley Marl\u2019s Juice Crew. In 1986, Kool G Rap &#038; DJ Polo let the world hear something special with \u201cIt\u2019s A Demo.\u201d One year later, on the same Cold Chillin\u2019 Records imprint, Kane followed with \u201cGet Into It\u201d and \u201cRaw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even within their own unit, Kane and G Rap had a legendary, amicable competition. On songs like \u201cThe Symphony,\u201d Heads have disputed who was best, with each MC approaching the mic differently. Kane was cool-headed and smooth, while \u201cGiancana\u201d verses are delivered with a raspy rawness that can can run nearly breathless at times. As each act followed their singles with heralded albums, the competition continued. Kane\u2019s catalog boasts two gold-certified albums, whereas G Rap has only made the Top 200 two times out of seven studio LPs. In the \u201990s, as Kane mentored Jay Z, while G Rap was in Nas\u2019 circle, the contrasts only furthered. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the full article via <a href=\"http:\/\/ambrosiaforheads.com\/2017\/02\/big-daddy-kane-kool-g-rap-battle-song-concert\/\" target=\"_blank\">AFH<\/a>.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"116553\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/video-big-daddy-kane-kool-g-rap-battle-song-for-song\/hqdefault-29\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/hqdefault.jpeg?fit=480%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"480,360\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Video: Big Daddy Kane &amp;#038; Kool G Rap Battle Song-For-Song\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/hqdefault.jpeg?fit=480%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/hqdefault.jpeg?resize=480%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-116553\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap go back together more than 30 years.
