I grew up in VA and was visiting a relative in Bridgeport CT when I was 15 years old when I heard this song on Kiss 98.7 in 1986. I never heard a rap song on THAT level before it blew my mind way. BDP/KRS 1 is one of the best that ever did it.

Yep, KRS-One emerged as a force to be reckoned with!
I still got Criminal Minded on cassette tape that i bought way back in 1987'' as a 11 year old kid I started collecting tapes in the summer of 1986'' And i still have alot of Oldschool Hip hop tapes that i had every since my childhood way back in the mid late 80s. Criminal Minded is a Classic And the Legendary song The South Bronx has always been 1 of my favorite songs on that album that i like to play when it comes to representing Hip Hop.

Analyze Eric B and Rakim’s “Follow The Leader” there’s a lot of meat on that bone.

We have Eric B and Rakim lined up for a New Years eve release as it turns out. It was a tough call between "Follow the Leader:" and "Eric B. is President" We went with the latter but may have to do "Follow the Leader" as well. Both so good.
"The Bridge" was not even made by Marley Marl to be a single played on the radio, He made it to play at this annual party called Queensbridge day that everyone in the projects attended to celebrate. Mc Shan was just saying how Hip Hop started in Queensbridge back in the days and not that Hip Hop had started in Queens and KRS One knew that. He just used that to start that beef because he did not like Mr. Magic after being told by Mr. Magic that his song was trash when KRS One came to the radio station to play him his demo.

krs killed shan and queens by himself 😂
This is what you get when others try to tell the story but i respect the subject
2:30 KRS with Sly & Robbie, Reggae drummer and bassist. If you can think of popular Reggae "riddims" from the 1970s - 2020s, thank them for it.

KRS is Jonathan Majors with 20% more nose.
Terribly flawed information😡
Shan never claimed HipHop started in Queens. Stop repeating that misinformation. Otherwise very good production.

Thanks for pointing that out! Yep, Shan's "The Bridge" was misinterpreted by BDP among others, leading to all that drama. They did clear it up later, though. Appreciate your sharp eye on this and glad you liked the video! Your insights really add to the conversation about hip-hop's history. Cheers for tuning in!

You've got a point there. As mentioned in our video, the rivalry was multi-layered, with BDP's response to MC Shan also influenced by their earlier industry setbacks and DJ Marley Marl's dismissal. These incidents indeed set the stage for the Bridge War that followed. Thanks for emphasizing this key part of the story!
