I think Big Daddy Kane's 5th album "Looks Like A Job For" has aged well over time, I can still listen today and be impressed by the writing and ideas from song to song. It seemed like he took chances on this one, attacking the mic lyrically to express his unbiased feelings on society and the music industry on songs like "Stop Shammin'", "How You Get A Record Deal?", while still finding time to kick it to the ladies on "Very Special". I remember overlooking the album a little due to a slew of other classic releases of the time, but I feel this album definitely held it's own weight back in 1993.

In this interview Kane sits in the studio with Crazy Sam of Video Music Box to discuss his transition from first album to fifth, and preview music off the latest album. Sidenote: If you've never known Crazy Sam before this interview, he was the co-host of Ralph McDaniels Video Music Box show in the 90's and provided good comic relief. He reminds me of some outrageous, older black guy I might see occasionally while walking around my neighborhood of Harlem, NY or overhear cracking jokes at the local barbershop.

I included the video for Da Lench Mob's "Guerilla's In The Mist" which was played in between the interview on this show episode, in case you're wondering what that colorful image is up in the preview (heat sensory vision © The Predator). Enjoy this moment of Big Daddy Kane recording history.
