For part three of our Mister Cee influenced Flashback series, we cap it with the “Smooth Operator” himself, Big Daddy Kane. If you didn’t know, Mister Cee held a “Throwback at Noon: Who’s the best emcee” mix on Thursday with Rakim, KRS-One, and BDK. This promoted us to immediately hit yall up with some of our favorite videos from the three.

Remember the days of rappers not afraid to dance at parties before everybody put on the “tough guy” act? The original King of Brooklyn, BDK was definitely not afraid to get the party rocking back in the day as he was never one to do the wall-gangster, which is why he got the ladies. The Bed-Stidy representer single-handedly influenced most of our favorite rappers of all time from the likes of Jay-Z, Fabolous, Nas and even the late Makaveli and Frank White.

Enjoy this classic right here as Blackanova shows you why “It’s a Big Daddy Thing” in this self-produced track.
