Entries in Big Daddy Kane (2)

Feel Good Fridays: Paul Simon

I didn't have cable growing up so I guess I missed this video from 1988. As if I needed another reason to love this song (or Paul Simon) the video includes appearances by Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Spud Webb, Mickey Mantle and John Madden. Surreal.

Throwback Thursdays: Big Daddy Kane
