If you like lyrics, then this albul is tight. But if you just want to hear tight beats that anyone can sound good on, then go to Bad Boy or Timbaland.
Kane never had the best Music, but he has always had the best lyrics. And when it comes down to it, that's what I love about this legend. Peace.

This is an album that I found abit frustrating at times and exceptional at others. The main problem for me was the most irritating voice of any mc Ive ever heard in over 15years of listening to hiphop, Big Scoob, who appears on no less than 4 tracks and completely ruins them. He's better known as one half of Kane's dancers Scoob+Scrap and he really should have stuck to just that. The ironic thing is Ive never really found him as annoying on Kane's other albums, ah well... The good points however far outweigh this minor negative point. The production from Kane, Easy Moe Bee, L.G., Kool T, Da Rock and the one+only DJ Premier is all top notch. The rhymes from Kane are what we've come to expect, sharp, original, witty and skilled like no other. Unfortunately he sings abit in the middle of his flows, even though he does that on his other albums he just overdoes it at times here. Apart from that his flow is flawless. Tracks like "Daddy's Home", "Lyrical Gymnastics", "Thats How I Did'em", "The Way Its Goin'Down", "W.G.O.N.R.S." and "Let Yourself Go" showcase his lyrical prowess expertly. "Lyrical Gymnastics" and "The Way Its Goin'Down" in particular are Kane at his peak, breathtaking. Both "Sex According To The Prince Of Darkness" and "Somebody's Been Sleeping In My Bed" are were his smooth sexcapes come out to play to great effect. Apart from Scoob's verses in tracks like "In The PJ's" and "Show N Prove" they are also decent tracks that enhance then album. Overall its not as consistent as his "Veteran's Day" and "Looks Like A Job For...." albums but its still a nice+necessary addition to the Kane collection.

When the first time i bought this album, i didn't what i'm going to hear, cuz i never heard Kane's rap before. Every songs in this album were well handled except the skit which is allright at the first time hear but you don't want take more after. You'll find a lot of gems that's includes an allstar collabo produced by Primo in "Show and Improve" featuring Big Scopp,Sauce Money,Shyheim,"Mr.Strickly out from a Brooklyn Zoo" ODB, and up and coming Jay-Z. The last two names steal the show, each with their distinctive style. Nice to hear young Jay-Z fast rap, it's added a fresh flavour on the track, and ODB crazy as usual and he even borrowed his lines in this track on other WU-mate production (RZA's Kiss of The Black Widow).The other songs was tight both musically and lyrically every song take you into another trip on Kane's world eventhough it's released almost 10 years ago, the beat never sounds old and the lyrics still relevant on today. This album improve that Kane still one of best MC to count in the middle of 90's beside handfull of new comers and golden era of gangsta rap.

I'm a big Big Daddy Kane fan and take it from me this
album could've been a whole lot better, it's a few
stand outs here and there but compared to Big Daddy
Kane flows of old this just don't cut it. It's like
he just threw this one together for whatever reason,
bottom line Big Daddy Kane need better production (Premier, Alchemist, Pete Rock etc.) and he needs to stick to his roots and if he wants to do and R & B track then get a top notch producer and he'll be fine...

I don't know why this cd gets hated on, it is the only big daddy kane cd that I listen to constantly, and he's on point with the lyrics. In my opinion taste of chocolate is a piece of trash cd. I don't have a problem with the beats and the only reason I think people hate on this is because they are used to the big daddy kane from the 80's, this sounds nothing like his other releases. If 94 is your favorite year in rap, you need to give this a listen. I bought this in a used record store, and I have never regretted it.

This is one of the phattest cd's I've heard in a long time.My best advice is to buy it and listen for yourself.

I saw this CD used... so I picked it up, after hearing E-Dub and Ja Rule give BDK props in the song E-Dub and Ja. I put this in my boom box... Even the hit 'in the projects' was extremeley disappointing. The only song that was HALF decent is the last song. It's not worth even buying the single for, assuming there is 1, tho. Hopefully in the 80s bdk had it going on.

Kane started out trying to be rap's answer to Barry White, by 94 it was clear that wasn't working. What's a poseur to do? Needless to say he tries everything (including an absurd Cypress Hill imitation), and none of it works. He sounds especially ridiculous when he claims that he has always been true to his sound. At one point Kane asks `Do You Like This Style Of Rap?', the answer, obviously is no.
