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.
Mr. MC SHAN - just like you said my man! "you love to hear the stories again and again, of how it all got started way back when." Your one of my favorite all time rappers!!!
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.
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
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."
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 :
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.
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!
I believe Shan, he did the Juice Crew AllStars record with Craig G, and Kool G Rap a few years earlier before the Symphony record, so how could he felt like they was new jacks
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!
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!
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. $$$
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
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.
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!)!!!
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!
shan was always a truthfull artist even back in the stop this crazy thing days .I respect shan for being honest , i wish people would be honest and truthfull about the current state of hip hop.
Shan u true to the game and you held it down..u ain't got nothing to prove. Your official..I never forget seeing you and K.R.S. battle at the a venue at the garden. It was a friendly battle but it brought back memories of how you always had a come back. Peace
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.
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.
MC Shan was a big part of hiphop and the one of the most stylish,he def deserves alot of credit and he seems real humble about how everything turned out.
thats whats up, real talk, i feel bad for buying all of m.c shan's old records now from back in the day, maybe he could re-release his stuff with the story included , will all buy it,
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.
Thanks for the info Shan. What Ace said about you was questionable 'cause I figured why wouldn't you have wanted to be on that record. It didn't make sense. We were led to believe that The Juice Crew was a family, and if so a few were missing regarding the whole "Symphony" thing. Great to see you and I appreciate your honesty.
The first from QB! And don't worry about how long it was the truth will ALWAYS come out..I'm working on a mixtape celebrating Queens hip hop. G Rap will be on it, Prodigy will be on it, and Vinny Thunn of Infamous Mobb will be on there so I would love to have you do a drop and maybe even a track? let me know...peace
@mrlungs1 He was talking about the Cold Chillin deal with Warner Bros. He was referring to the Born to be wild album. That was Shan's first album under the new deal.
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.
i believe Shan!
+Shay Thomas Big Daddy Kane said he picked out all the samples to use on "Ain't No Half Steppin"
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.

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.
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

theres a video of marley reconstructing the beat
Marley Marl & Bobcat both produced "Mama Said Knock You Out" and Marley admitted that.... There is a video.

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

Marley was wack for that.
Bro u inspired so many legends 💯
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.
there are 2 sides to every story! thank you for sharing, Shan
3 sides to every story. One person's the other's, an the truth which lays somewhere in the middle.
mc shan is a god.brother tell the truth yes.clear all that shit up.whats in the dark,shall surly come to light.
You can't just believe what nobody say. Ace should of confronted Shan himself, if you feel like it was truth to that...
MY MAN SHAN KEEPING IT 💯. PEACE ✌️
legendary
Shan is the truth. Marley been getting exposed by others in the Cold Chillin label.
MC Shan was a big part of hiphop and the one of the most stylish,he def deserves alot of credit and he seems real humble about how everything turned out.
WOW!!!!!! talk about puttin it out there...Marley?? Whats da business kid?? come on son!?
Hot chilling lol
I died when he said that just now🤯😭
A true G.O.a.T. speaks!
Cool V spoke about Marley illin on the artists and production etc.
MC Shan..RESPECT!
Facts! Shan never been a liar!
thats whats up, real talk, i feel bad for buying all of m.c shan's old records now from back in the day, maybe he could re-release his stuff with the story included , will all buy it,
I still have that album
1Love from Denmark Shan, come ova here and perfom
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.
Shan is the truth period!!!
It's a backwards horn swish sample from a record called " Scratchin' "
Thanks for the info Shan. What Ace said about you was questionable 'cause I figured why wouldn't you have wanted to be on that record. It didn't make sense. We were led to believe that The Juice Crew was a family, and if so a few were missing regarding the whole "Symphony" thing. Great to see you and I appreciate your honesty.
I love you Shan
The first from QB! And don't worry about how long it was the truth will ALWAYS come out..I'm working on a mixtape celebrating Queens hip hop. G Rap will be on it, Prodigy will be on it, and Vinny Thunn of Infamous Mobb will be on there so I would love to have you do a drop and maybe even a track? let me know...peace
Shan is official texture.
stay UP, shan pioneer
@mrlungs1 He was talking about the Cold Chillin deal with Warner Bros. He was referring to the Born to be wild album. That was Shan's first album under the new deal.
nice, real stuff right here, speak on it .
A JB joint coincides exactly where Shan's coming: 'Don't tell a lie on me and I won't tell the truth about you!'
HOT Chillin hahhahaha
