I was watching some old BETRapCity and YoMTVRap shows from back in the good ol dayz and stumbled upon some amazing music from Kokane that I never really knew about. The video had two very low key Eazy E cameos, which were kind of the thing back in the day, before Puffy and Master P started over-exposing themselves, the style was more like how Eazy would show up in "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" video and give a little pound to Krayzie Bone and that was about it. So Eazy is in this video and yet I can't find it on youtube. I can't remember the name of the song but Ko Kane was more rapping that singing though he did use one of his signature catchphrases he used later Dre's second solo album in 99 (2001 album).
I did find this banger on youtube that seems to be from the same album and recorded at the same time.

If Dre and Eazy were beefing how was Ko Kane wit Eazy and yet on the Deep Cover soundtrack?

Does anybody remember him blowing up back then with Eazy E? Because it might've been just slightly before my time, because I didn't get big into it all until the Chronic album, and it's as if KoKane disappeared for years until linking up on Dre and Snoop bangers/projects from 99-2001

Since I saw you mention you heard Don't Bite The Phunk for the first time this week I think you should check out his entire 1994 Ruthless album Funk Upon A Rhyme it's a classic front to back produced by Cold 187Um.

it didn't do big numbers and he was never superstar which is why u never got into it
probably the same with above the law, although they did have some minor commercial success with "black superman"

Slow Burnin 22.5 Fahrenheit was the jam back in the day. Kokane could rap. Not a big fan of the whiny hook singing he later became known for, but he can spit when he wants to.

That's all I knew him for .. I mean Dre really took him next level when he used that talent to elevate "LA Niccaz"
I didn't even know he could rap, lol
