Big Daddy Kane got the internet buzzing after he posted an Instagram photo of himself with his arm around JAY-Z earlier this month. Rumors of an impending collaboration started to fly, but HipHopDX soon confirmed Kane was simply interviewing the Roc Nation mogul for his upcoming Netflix documentary Paragraphs I Manifest.
During a recent conversation with DX, the inimitable Hip Hop icon briefly expounded on the topic and confirmed he already had a laundry list of legends locked and loaded for the series.
“I got JAY-Z, Eminem, KRS-One, Doug E. Fresh,” he said. “I even got some of the battle rappers like Goodz Da Animal and Aye Verb, so it’s coming out real good. I’m supposed to do Common on Monday.”
And it looks like the Common interview did go on as scheduled. On Monday (June 21), Kane shared another Instagram photo of himself standing next to the Grammy Award-winning MC and the caption, “Much love to @common and the StuyVision crew. We almost done. #paragraphsimanifest.”
