Kane was responsible for jump-starting and being the archtype for the career of Jay-Z, now a hugely commercially successful rapper who got his start as Kane's hypeman.
Kane is known for his incredible ability to syncopate over faster hip-hop beats, despite his asthmatic condition (he is acknowledged as one of the pioneering masters of fast-rap.) His sense of style is renowned and set a number of early-1990s hip-hop trends (high-top fades, cuts in the right eyebrow and four-finger rings).
Widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers during the "golden age" of hip hop (1986-1994), Kane's experimentation with RandB beats and his alignment to the Five Percent faction drew criticism.
Kane was one of the few emcees that influenced a generation and shaped the image of what a true emcee is all about.
The pimp/player persona, the extravagant lifestyle, his unique style of flipping words like it was nothing, his smooth flow and remarkable lyricism; it was all Kane'slong before a slew of imitators would latch onto the style and make it their own.
Long before Shawn Carter was Jigga, long before Biggie was the king of New York, long before Ja Rule was winning the hearts of ladies all across the country, long before Fabolous was spitting metaphors and punch lines, long before all of that Kane stood.
