Antonio Monterio Hardy, better known as Big Daddy Kane of the legendary Juice Crew and his bride Shawnette married May 1 at a private ceremony in North Carolina.
In this interview conducted for the book “How To Rap: The Art & Science of the Hip-Hop MC” Big Daddy Kane tells the author that in the golden age, a freestyle was a rhyme you wrote, not just coming off the top of your head.
Founded by producer Marley Marl and the late NY hip-hop radio DJ, Mr. Magic, The Juice Crew were one of the hottest hip-hop collectives in the mid to late ’80s.
