![]() He comically takes a quick jab at Hammer on the final verse, only to say “no disrespect to my Oaktown friend” in the very next bar. Ooh, Aah, Nah-Nah-Nah – Kane proved on the previous song that he could still destroy a mellow track, and on this one he bumps the BPM’s up a few and shows he can still handle an up-tempo beat as well, corny title aside. Git Bizzy – Kane slows the pace down a bit and still catches wreck like Kanye West at 3am driving on the streets of Los Angeles. Cee produced remix, which samples the Loose Ends “Hangin’ On Strings” record, sounds a lot better than this mix. Kane’s rhymes are pretty entertaining but the instrumental has too much of an intentional commercial sound. Side note: Al B. The Lover In You – This was the first single off of Prince of Darkness and I never cared much for it. Kane loops up a portion of Prince’s “Pop-Life” for the backdrop as he lends advise to men on how to please their ladies in the first verse then uses the rest of the song to talk as many ladies out of their panties that he can. Right from the jump Kane goes in to his Blackanova persona as he spits rhymes to boast about his sexual prowess in his signature baritone. Prince Of Darkness – Kane starts things off with a smooth laid back groove built around a sample of Zapp’s “Be Alright” and a vocal sample from Tevin Campbell that complements the instrumental perfectly. Is it possible that the true fans, critics and Soundscan all got it wrong? Unsurprisingly, Prince of Darkness didn’t move a ton of units and the critics didn’t think highly of it either. It’s also considered Kane’s “sellout” album, as many of the true heads complained that too many of the songs catered to his heel wearing fan base. Kane would release his 4th album Prince of Darkness, which would be the first Kane album in which he would not only handle mic responsibilities but the majority of the production duties as well. But in my opinion, it was still a decent effort.įast forward (or rewind?) to 1991. The album didn’t sell well and compared to his first two releases, it was a step down in quality. We last left the suave wordsmith in 1990 with his third release Taste Of Chocolate. BDK will always be on my top 10 dead or alive list, and if he’s not on yours I strongly suggest you re-evaluate it immediately.
