BDP - The Bridge Is Over | REACTION!! FIREEE!🔥🔥🔥 

It’s a Big Diss track… Bronx vs QueensBridge…. It’s actually a response to Queens MC Shan’s “ the bridge”- classic btw… so this is “ the bridge is over”

J listen I'm from Da Bridge...proudly...When this dropped i was 11, and it made me realize how important my hood was to hiphop....this is a classic...but if you're going to react to "Da bridge is over" then you have to react to "Da Bridge" the first ever hood anthem by MC shan and Marley Marl....This is when it was called Da Bridge wars because we were basically at war wit the south Bronx at a time when crack first hit the streets of NYC...it was a crazy time but hiphop would have it's first golden era of mcs...Shan and Marley, Krs and scot larock, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G rap, Roxanne Shante, craig G, master Ace, biz markie all made up the Juice Crew. Krs one, dnice etc..Made up Boogie Down Productions, LL cool J, Run Dmc, Publlic Enemy, EPMD, the God Rakim, Salt n pepa, Queen Latifah and the flava unit, MC Lyte, Stetsasonic, Heavy D, Brand Nubians etc.....There is alot of history here....but this one here...This battle between Shan and Krs One would give birth 15 years later to Nas vs Jayz....In which Nas literally shook the foundation of hiphop with the greatest diss of all time....ETHER!!....peace and blessings on your journey back to a time where it was really hiphop....

Oh one more thing lol...krs thought Shan was saying hiphop started in Queensbridge...Because on the song "Da Bridge" shan started by saying "hiphop started out in the park, they used to do it out in the dark"....Shan was just saying where hiphop began which was in parks...But Krs thought otherwise and that's how it all started...also...I cant forget Dougie Fresh and Slick Rick as well that lead that Golden era....They all literally produced classics....

Yo Fam you asked what happened when this dropped...........IT SHOOK UP THE HIPHOP WORLD! I still listen to the Live Mix Shows on Mixcloud & RU-vid (from KissFM NYC Radio) when Red Alert & Chuckchillout were playing these songs in REAL TIME! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

After this dropped, the fallout was bad for us Queens heads. Queens was laughed at for about a decade after that. KRS-One dropped South Bronx before this, and it was dissing the same crew. MC Shan and Marley Marl (The Juice Crew). Shan responded with “Kill that Noise”. But even with the diss tracks, they actually became friends, and toured with each other. Interesting fact: He used the vocal cadence from Billy Joel’s song “It’s Still Rock and Roll to me” (What’s the matter with your DJ, MC Shan..don’t you know that he’s outta touch…) But listen to The Bridge by MC Shan and South Bronx… KRS busted out on the scene with those two songs and heads were put on alert after that!

Hip Hop's first knockout punch.

J - Vividly remember in 87 Passaic, NJ HS students would take sides by chanting South-South Bronx or Queens-bridge/ The Bridge in the hallways or right before an assembly. On Saturdays, aspiring DJs would take the bus to Manhattan to hit the record stores…then take the subway to Jerome Ave in the Bronx or Fulton Street Brooklyn to continue with the vinyl addiction.

Every borough produced rap royalty - for example, Wu Tang from Staten Island; Run DMC / Nas / Mobb Deep from Queens; BDP from the Bronx; Jay-Z/Biggie from Brooklyn; Doug E Fresh from Manhattan....there are many, many more...

Classic song. The top rappers in the late 1980’s were Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Krs One, LL Cool J You should check out some LL Cool J songs Im Bad, I Need A Beat, Rock The Bells

It has been eluded to in another comment but understand that there were two Hip Hop DJs on two different stations going head to head. 98.7 Kiss FM with DJ Red Alert and/vs. 107.5 WBLS with Mr. Magic. To REALLY get the vibe you have to listen to the rips on RU-vid of their radio shows from the mid to late eighties. ESPECIALLY their mega mixes and how they promoted “a world world premier premiere” (simulating the echo). Everyone was recording these on tape (in our boomboxes) back then. I used to sell copies of these tapes on the street as a teen.

Krs-One and Ced Gee from Ultra Magnetic MCs produced that beat. Krs -One was born in Brooklyn but represents the Bronx. NYC had a buzz intensity and energetic feel back in those days...nothing how it is today. Remember this was during the crack epidemic and everybody was outside due to the lack of domestic entertaiment and the crime rate was nearly 3-times high it is now in NYC. The engery of Run-DMC, Whodini, LL and other artists sparked hiphop up around 84/85, and when Eric B & Rakim out in 86 and BDP came out in 86/87 took NYC and hip-hop to another level with the assistants of other associated artist that never get credit(one or two hit wonders artists that contributed to hiphop during the 80s).

A slew of great MCs came out of Queens due to this track 💯

Let the rhythm hit 'em Eric b and rakim My philosophy BDP

Teacha teacha

This was the first diss track in hip-hop history🔥

RIP SCOTT

The most notable response to this was Roxanne Shante "Have A Nice Day" (written by Big Daddy Kane). The story goes that not long after "The Bridge Is Over", Roxanne Shante ran into KRS at a bank and expressed her displeasure at being mentioned on here. KRS then agreed not to retaliate if she responded. Plus KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane were close friends. It's actually a very interesting saga! Anyway, KRS-One is one of the greatest MCs to pick up the mic. You're in for a treat with his catalogue! Peace.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Krs one- 9mm

Best diss record ever...

Queens was destroyed for a very long time because of this. Queens (MC Shan / Marley Mar) tried to claim hip hop started in Queens and that didn't fly with KRS or the Boogie Down. It was a one-sided war. Queens legends acknowledged KRS and do not fuck with him till tis day
