MC Shans first album is a rap masterpiece. Respect.

Shan is legend. He doesn't need to explain anything.

M.C. Shan is the complete M.C. Hands Down.

Rap Blakwardz I am peepin that Kane did a lot of behind the scenes work he didn't get credit for like writing for people co producing etc. Kane is one of the greatest of all time regardless of the other stuff he didn't get credit for. These new rappers now will never will a battle contest with Kane. They can never creatively do what Kane has already done. So yea I bet he did pick all the samples and more.

Yes I agree... Wow! He didn't even get paid for the early awesome 'Marley Scratch', which means he stuck around a long time until he wasn't going to get played any longer... This is the reason why there are no collective reunion tracks or tours. Sad that ots of the old school rappers were caught up in rip off deals... Big up Shan for speaking the truth...

Shan, you are a Elder in the game. I bought your tapes way back when beloved. I hope you have defected this crap and flushed it. Your tougher and way beyond 80's wars family. I see you higher than this.

Much respect hands down

MC Shan is the shit !!!

Rakim even said Marley did not produce My Melody or Eric B is President. He said Marley was an engineer on the song, but not the producer. Peace to MC Shan I grew up on your joints and I still rock the tape til this day. Peace.

Dude i'm in Texas and had been hearing that shit about Marley. He did Roxxane Shante like that too. Shandu Allah/M.C. Shan was/is the man.

Pounds of respect. SHAN

I actually remember Kane saying he bought Marley all parts for "Ain't No Half Steppin" and when Kane told him to blend the ESG UFO sample with the Blind Alley loop and the horn stabs Marley said "NO your layering to much samples on the track its not going to work . But Kane persuaded him to do it AND ITS A ALL TIME HIP HOP CLASSIC . But the 'Mama Said Knock You Out" album Marley produced for L is IMPERIAL HIP HOP THAT MIGHT NEVER BE TOPPED

MC Shan and over a hundred other of the best rappers including Mobb Deep, Big Daddy Kane, Master Ace and Wu-Tang Clan shared their rapping secrets in the book series *HOW TO RAP* and the follow-up, *HOW TO RAP 2*. "Real Hip Hop is not on the radio."

Much love and respect to a TRUE MC!! Shan...keep telling that truth. Peace and one love.

The truth always comes out.Peace G Beats.

MC Shan is telling the truth because Bobcat produced the "Mama Said Knock You Out" record for LL Cool J but Marley got the credit instead because DefJam made a deal with Marley Marl, with that said Marley Marl is "still" the pioneer of hiphop productions and I'm not going to take nothing away from him :

Big facts! Marly Marl the original rap industry 🐍

Man! I'm glad you on You Tube G. You a true legend who should have been bigger than LL BUT the industry ROBBED YOU and gave him more attention. You the top 3 of Hip Hop History! Even today I Rock your records. Peace GOD. Get that 100k + subs. $$$

MC Shan, I have nothing but the ultimate respect for the accomplishments that you have achieved. You were the front man for the Juice Crew that was wrecking the whole industry. Your albums are classics, especially the first one, "Down by Law." Your production of "Snow," was priceless, and caught a lot of cat via surprise. However, I am sorry the Juice Crew parted ways, and it is also unfortunate that you have to address this situation now. Keep you high, move forward, and stay strong! ROBB-O

Thats whats up, real recognize real and I hear you MC SHAN. Respect from Skåne sweden.

Shan my man. My Favorite Mc from QueensBridge.

Informative. I like this. The real story

Straight up...MC Shan, thank you for the years of dope shit and definitely for keepin' it realler than real!! A blessed and prosperous 2013 to you God!

This is dope! Can't wait to chop it up with u Wednesday bro! Detroit rocks with MC Shan 💯🫡

it's funny because G rap said in another interview that they brought their own beats and really didn't know about co-producer credits so Marly took all credits.

Real talk Shan, now I see why they be hatin on you. You keeps it real. Stay on that grown man shit. Hip hop honors "MC SHAN"

Thank you for clearing that up for us Shan. The whole Juice crew was tight. You're defenitely one of the best to ever do it. No question. You've always come off like a humble dude even though you're lyrically lethal. I hope I have the opportunity to cross paths with you someday or even rock a rhyme with you. One- MC Rashenel.

Tha God MC Shan!!

Word up yo. Shan is a legend. Old school rules 👌

Shan, I'm not gonna pretend I know what went down cuz I wasn't nowhere near there at those times. All I know is that you're a HUGE staple in hip hop and you should be proud of that. It can be an ugly world out there but those that are strong in spirit will continue to see the beauty. Take care of yourself, bruh!

there are 2 sides to every story! thank you for sharing, Shan

Shan, I just want to let you know that Down by law, is in my top 5. Ka ziggy zang. bom doobie dom do.

Its a cliche, but MC Shan is the reason i got into hip hop and fulfilled life long dreams of working with Chill Rob G, Phill Most, AG and Rise. if it werent for The Bridge, I'd probably be an accountant listening to house music... R E S P E C T!

Bro u inspired so many legends 💯

lol MC Shan real talk keep up the good work

Shan! West Coast Love, I was in South Jersey when u was bangin hard. Bought ur record at the indoor swap meet in South Jersey when it first came out. Came back to Los Angeles and that's all she wrote

I BELIEVE SHAN 110%!!!!!

Yo Shan glad you lettin ppl know tha real deal for real cuz you down by law, The true ppl behind you 100%!!!

Touche! You're Exactly Right. Down by Law is Actually the Only Cold Chillin Album Release before the Warner Brothers Deal! My Bad Sir, I Have No Problem Admitting when I'm wrong!

Marley was wack for that.

Respect Shan!!

Thanks for telling us your side Shan.

Hip Hop Icon!!

It's REALLY a label named Hot Chillin' though. It's even got the same cursive lettering as the original Cold Chillin' logo. That's Marley Marl's label.

Shan Helped Pioneered This....

Having the records is one thing , but you still need a beat mechanic like Marley to put it all together

yo that was was a real ass intro lls!

WOW..."Claudio" was the mastermind behind the using of IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT for "The Bridge"? Same scenario here back in '94 when I introduced the "Grandma's Hands"/Bill Withers sample to my partner, who tapped out what would later to become the NO DIGGITY beat (instrument got into their hands via an emcee in our crew that was on the run from bounty hunters at the time for gun possession charges...and he had fled to VA...Aquil from Wreckx 'N Effect remembers the story...LOL!)!!!

yo shan, where did that loud ass sound effect on the bridge come from? been wondering for years.

stay UP, shan pioneer

QB Finest

nice, real stuff right here, speak on it .

Man...Shan is why I rhyme...one love real hiphop

legendary

MY MAN SHAN KEEPING IT 💯. PEACE ✌️

Cool V spoke about Marley illin on the artists and production etc.

Marley Marl do be lyin. He said he gave Eric B. and Rakim an album to get them started, but the truth is he didn't like it and didn't think it would do well so he forfeited producer credit.

Met Shan in Georgia 2019 Legend

Big up to MC Shan, a true mc and lyrical assassin. I always thought the symphony line-up would have been better with Shan on it. Do ya thing, Shan. I own a pair of the Limited Edition MC Shan Pumas. Can we have a true story on your history with the Puma brand, the LL Cool J battles that cats forgot about, The real deal about the Juice Crew, your battle with Craig G, the deal with Steady B and Cool C sounding like YOU. Peace duke.

I love you Shan

Born to be wild is his best album hands down, its straight fonks on that bitch lol.. Highly underrated but like he said himself, he helped pioneer this! #BooorrrnToBeWILDWILD
