Big Daddy Kane Supports Initiative to Declare Jay-Z's Birthday a Recognized Holiday

Big Daddy Kane and Jay-Z have a long-standing relationship that dates back to 1988 when they first met. The two Hip Hop heavyweights linked up again recently to film one of the final interviews for Kane’s documentary called Paragraphs I Manifest.

The former Juice Crew MC, seen by TMZ on Friday (January 5), expressed enthusiasm for Jay-Z's potential success, highlighting how Hip Hop has evolved into a culture and genre with the capacity to produce billionaires and diverse forms.

"I think it’s real cool. You gotta understand: Hip Hop is a culture. A music culture. And now, it’s a genre that people shun down upon, look down upon, and when you see that it can grow billionaires, it can become a multi-genre where there’s different forms of Hip Hop."
