Big Daddy Kane Talks Giving Jay Z His Big Break

he legendary Big Daddy Kane sat down with VladTV where he spoke on his relationship with Jay Z, saying the Brooklyn boy was introduced by mutual friend Jaz-O who asked Kane if Jay could spit on a track with him. Kane agreed and thought Jay was nice enough to take on the road, and while he was never Kane’s hypeman (as many believe), he would spit a few bars for about ten minutes while Kane changed back stage.
Kane says he and Jay still have a good relationship, with Hov bringing him out for Summer Jam and for the opening of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
