Yeah just seeing how contrived and inauthentic 50 Cent’s appearance in comparison with the others was, as the only “new school” rapper featured in this clip further illustrates your point
@eddiefresh76 i still listen to them. PIONEERS. Paved the way for hip hop. MC Shan, KRS, Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B and Rakim, EPMD, Cool C, Roxanne Shante, Ms Melodie, Kool Moe Dee
You got to respect Kris for keeping it real though he acknowledged that it if wasn't for Shan making "The Bridge" he wouldn't have made "South Bronx and so on
Nothing like it , to be honest it want really about the boroughs , I was from the Bronx and I loved the juice crew . I think back then we just respected the talent .
I remember the first time I heard South Bronx. I'm from the UK and so the Bridge wars were not something I knew much about at the time but I knew good hip hop when I heard it. That record wasn't just about its message - it was a smoking hip hop record in its own right.
As a white dude I totally agree. People say lord jamar is “racist” for saying white people are a guest in our house. And we are!! I’ve never bought a Eminem tape. The only whites dudes I ever messed with was 3rd bass. You leave certain things up to the professionals. You don’t call a handyman to do an electrical job. Yo don’t do to your doctor for surgery. Certain things are to be left alone. You can enjoy it, as I do. I’m in my 40’s and I remember this stuff from a kid. This WAS hip hop!!! I can’t listen to this shit! I’m stuck in the 80’s 90’s forever!!
Those were the days when you actually heard a record for the first time at a club. Nowadays people don't want to hear something new at a club they only want to hear that crap that gets played on the radio 24/7.
An abstract interview, the variety of perspectives from true mcees and from original ones at that. This is pure vintage knowledge born you can’t obtain first hand anymore unless it’s documented such as this, just recorded history so you have to genuinely respect and appreciate this. Haven’t seen this video in so long, I was trying to find the one where KRS disses PM Dawn the one so compact yet impacting... short as it may have been I’d still bump it all the time in my dorms as an adolescent but I was searching for that video and this particular one so happen to be in my liked playlist library. I’ve had it in there for years so proud to reunite with a sacred video which projects one of the most bona fide informing visuals in HipHop History.
Bridge is Over is STILL one of if not the greatest diss track of all time. Between that and another all time great diss track, South Bronx, MC Shan never really stood a chance.
Korey Sylver no not true Mc shan had kill that noise was much better than bridge is over kill that noise had rap skills bridge is over was word he put on paper
TOTALLY HONORED 2 have been growing up during this time in Hip Hop, & Hip Hop as a whole...it was born in Aug. 1973, me, Jun. 1970, so us 2 are siblings in my view. 🎧💖🎶💖🎵💖🎧
No lie!! BDP came way hard and killed them with The Bridge Is Over! Shan was definitely no match for KRS-One as far as rhyming. The only one that really came strong with a BPD diss was Roxanne Shante with Have A Nice Day... "You may remember the voice from a few years ago When I first came out and dissed UTFO I chilled for a while, I put down my pen But now some suckas from the Bronx got me started again Now I'm not out to diss the whole Boogie Down Just a featherweight crew from that part of town You made a little record and then you start frontin' Tried to diss the Juice Crew but ain't hurt nuttin' Now KRS-ONE you should go on vacation With that name soundin' like a wack radio station And as for Scott La Rock, you should be ashamed When T La Rock said "It's Yours", he didn't mean his name So step back peasants, poppin' all that junk Or else BDP will stand for Broken Down Punks 'cause I'm an All-Star just like Julius Erving And Roxanne Shante is only good for steady servin'" She went all the way in!!!!
Naw I think kill that noise was harder smh Marley stopped Shan from making a diss I'm telling you if Shan dissed them back it would have been over I like juice crew better they had more attention and better MCs
Wow wow, wow, the realest interview ever! I was in Soundview when a skinny Kris with shades rocked Southbronx at a jam in the park! Dudes went ballistic!! I get goosebumps thinking back. I was there and KRS is the truth in Hip Hop! Front if you wanna! Shan and the Juice crew is definitely on the map as well. Much respect to them. But the only ones to go international and make it globally was Kane and Biz. #facts! G Rap was the best in my opinion but people, especially women, & white people couldn't relate to his gritty, street style. So he gets all the lyrical street cred but impact wasn't global. Nevertheless, this interview was fire, the raps are unforgettable, so real Hip Hop lives in memory forever! #FerRealFerReal!✊
Man I wish I lived in golden era of hip hop cuz back then hip hop was so live, it was dope. N also KRS-one and MC Shan are the prime example of great legends and great battle.
Marley Marl won part of the war for the fact that KRS made “Bridge is Over” over a Marley Marl track they swiped Krs had better bars than Shan But Marley had Scott beat on them beats tho
Wooooord... the Bronx attacked... remember dude from the Bronx had that line...mc Shan you ain't good looking..if I ain't mistaken you lived in Brooklyn...
We had grinders and rockers re: house parties in the BK/MCing/DJing we before I moved to the BX, mostly Jamaican family and other project community room jams. But I was here for it. Joined the military at 17 and used to spin on weekends with a DJ from Queensbridge in fact
yeah, some iconic movements those songs were, back when record sales mattered none, I love how humble KRSone is there, MC shan was a lion sensing his end, we heard about these battles in the Midwest B!! Kris didn't back down from anyone, of course they were out of the shelter so......like hyena's smelling blood & he came with a powerful bite when his pride was hurt, who knew such a shot from the dark would tear thru its target with such a huge hole!!!
Here's the thing this wasn't a beef. A beef is you owe me money, you bangin' my chick, you had me set up...IE Pac/Biggie. This was a battle. "I'm a better MC than you." "No you ain't!! "Yea I am and I'll prove it... on the Mic with my skills." That's a battle. Thank you KRS/Shan for layin' down the ground work for what a battle was, is, and always will be. A test of an MC's skills. PERIOD
Respect on both parties, I was born in 83' so I guess I was too young of a kid to had lived this ear of hip hop. Im glad to have been born in the golden area of hip hop though
And glad to be born into the internet age. Not the same as digging through crates, jams at the park, etc. before this, but you have everything at your fingertips, whereas, even once it was good and started, you had to take a train ride, go visit on the West Coast or down South before the internet to hear different styles. Or someone would send or visit and bring you tapes. LOL I was in the military and all over so I would send back loads of stuff to NYC.
Funny how this story always ends with 'the bridge is over' like it was the nail in the coffin of that battle but Shans 'Juice Crew Law' was the illest response but is never mentioned
I seen KRS ONE in the U.K in 88, his whole entourage got mad and bumrushed the stage when the local Dj played his record before he came on! I thought that was as arrogant as you can get!
Dammitman i love fukin old skoll hip hop!...when two lyrical gladiators understood that even enemies can have RESPECT!...peace to MC Shan and the one called "KRS!!!"
M.C. Shan was taking on the Whole BDP by himself. It wasnt the Juice Crew as a whole. I love both KRS-1 and MC Shan because they respect each other now.They will team up and bury this new hip hop garbage!!!!
You gotta feel kind of bad for Shan his crew didn’t want nothing to do with this. But they say he didn’t treat Kane to well so when Marley asked Kane for help he didn’t want none of it!
