AllHipHop.com: What is your fondest memory?
Big Daddy Kane: My best memories were from my “Chocolate City” tour in 1990. I had Queen Latifah, Digital Underground, 3rd Bass, MC Lyte, and I think that’s it. Digital Underground declared war on us. They passed out flyers and they were running around shooting us with water guns, water balloons, the nine-millimeter looking water guns. And we had serious war during the day. Latifah used to play dirty. They would put scorching hot water in their guns. This is when Tupac used to dance with Digital. Latifah’s crew when out [during a concert] and wet Tupac and Money B all up – right on stage as they were performing.
AllHipHop.com: How did Tupac and Biggie’s deaths affect Hip-Hop?
Big Daddy Kane: How it is affected, I really don’t know. I don’t really see too much of a change. I thought it would. Here you have two great stars that are no longer with us over nonsense and a lack of love in this Hip-Hop thing. Also, my thing is, if you don’t do it, don’t promote it. If Just Ice makes a million and one thug records, so be it. Duke did bids and you heard about how he dealt with cats at labels. Everything he talked about, he had been through. But, if you ain’t been through it, why talk about it? Don’t put that in nobody else’s head either.

I really wonder if rappers still do water war these days
