It's a Big Daddy Thing is the second full-length album by Big Daddy Kane. To date, it is his most successful effort, commercially, and is held by many listeners to be his greatest work so far. In character with his last album and many other albums of the day, It's a Big Daddy Thing branches out into different styles, from battle rhymes to love ballads and more.
His later posturing as a self-proclaimed ladies' man is somewhat forshadowed by the hit song Smooth Operator, which Kane produced himself. Wrath of Kane, as it appears on this album, was performed live at the Apollo Theater.
The Source put it on their 100 Best Rap Albums list just as they did with Kane's debut album.[1]
