Disney rocks with "Camp" musical

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Disney Channel's Jonas Brothers movie "Camp Rock" debuted big Friday night, though it didn't match last year's record-setting "High School Musical 2."

"Camp Rock," which features a slew of musical performances from the teen heroes, averaged 8.9 million total viewers at 8-10 p.m. Friday, making it the cable network's second-most-watched original movie ever behind "HSM 2," according to Nielsen. "Camp Rock" pulled in about half of that movie's audience (17.2 million) in its August 17 premiere.

However, "Camp Rock" did outperform the original "HSM," which debuted in January 2006 to 7.7 million viewers, and other original movies like "Jump In!" which averaged 8.2 million in January 2007.

In the kid demos, "Camp Rock" drew 3.5 million kids 6-11 and 3.4 million tweens 9-14, which Disney said was higher than "American Idol's" most recent season premiere and finale on Fox.

The movie made Disney Channel the most-watched network from 8-10 p.m. Friday in total viewers, topping runner-up CBS by more than 3 million.

On Saturday, "Camp Rock" averaged 3.6 million total viewers when it aired as part of on sister broadcast channel ABC. It aired again Sunday on cable's ABC Family, and will premiere on Disney.com Monday.

Emerging during hip-hop's monolithic originative expansion of the late '80s, Big Daddy Kane was the ultimate lover man of rap's first gear 10, yet in that location was more to him than the fashionable wardrobe, gold jewellery, and sophisticated personal magnetism. Kane berserk a prodigious riming proficiency honed from numerous B-boy battles; he could besides be an Afrocentric consciousness-raiser midazolam in the philosophy of the Nation of Islam's Five Percent school, or a smooth urban soul crooner whose singing was no match for his talents as an MC. While he never scored a lot pop-crossover success, his c. H. Best material ranks among the finest hip-hop of its epoch, and his sex-drenched persona was staggeringly influential on innumerous future manque players.

Big Daddy Kane was innate Antonio Hardy in Brooklyn on September 10, 1968; the stage mention "Kane" was an acronym for King Asiatic Nobody's Equal. In 1984, he met Biz Markie, and the deuce smitten up a friendship. Kane would go on to co-write some of the Biz's best-known raps, and both finally became important members of the Queens-based Juice Crew, a collective headed by far-famed producer Marley Marl. Kane gestural with Marl's Cold Chillin' label in 1987 and debuted the following class with the 12" single "Raw," which became an underground sensation. His number 1 album, Longsighted Live the Kane, followed not long after and was evenly well-received, producing another underground classical in "Ain't No Half-Steppin'." Kane consolidated his success with 1989's It's a Big Daddy Thing, which spawned arguably his near effective love-man sung in "Smooth Operator" (and besides establish him working with new jack manufacturer Teddy Riley on "I Get the Job Done"). 1990's A Taste of Chocolate was a varied feat, highlighted by Kane's duets with Barry White and comedian Rudy Ray Moore, aka Dolemite.

Kane's number 1 major stumble came with the 1991 album Prince of Darkness, a mellower, more R&B-based collection that failed to play to the rapper's substantial suits; however, he retained his sex symbol position by sitting for Madonna's notorious 1992 picture book Sex, as well as Playgirl magazine. 1993's Looks Like a Job For... was something of an artistic counter, only it failed to reinstate his condition in the hip-hop community, which was in the midst of a Dr. Dre-inspired love function with gangsta belt. Kane moved to the MCA label for 1994's Daddy's Home, and dabbled in an acting career with appearances in Mario Van Peebles' 1993 dim Western Posse and 1994's Gunmen. However, he largely retired from the scene all over the following few years. Kane resurfaced in 1998 on Blackheart Records, cathartic what was apparently his leave-taking album, Veteranz Day.
