Video: R.A. The Rugged Man Speaks On Big Daddy Kane

Brood Baby has joined forces with legendary hip-hop artist and journalist R.A. the Rugged Man to present Lesson of the Day, a new web series detailing hip-hop history lessons and personal rap stories from the Rugged Man. The first episode dissects Big Daddy Kane’s slept-on and under-appreciated third album, Taste of Chocolate [1990 / Warner Bros]. Unlike Kane’s first two classic releases, the album failed to achieve RIAA Gold certification, and was seen as a major disappointment in the hip-hop community. R.A. breaks down the record, reflects on hip-hop in the year 1990, and discusses the ups and downs in the career of one of his greatest rap influences.
