krishna atmosoekarto You need to chill. Lyrically Uzi is trash but has some bangers. Nas to me is the GOAT of lyricism in the 90s. I know more MC's than just Nas. Jay Z, Ice Cube, 2 Pac and many more from the 90s era. I fuck with everybody that's lyrical in the 2000s era also, and the real MC's and certain mumble niggas of today's generation. Maybe i should've worded my comment a little different. Not gonna lie, i listen to niggas like Kodak Black when I'm working out or when I'm getting off of work. Get out of your feelings😂😂😂😂😂.
Exactly just imagine what's going on now and the music industry but like I always say the way they speak on television is not how they are in real life The Hunt is on to find its scattered remains
@@levidiaz3074 lack of education & too many homes without fathers ...Schools teach you to be a systematic robot ..not how to be an independent business man or woman .
Definitely have to consider MC SHAN a Rap Pioneer "Living Legend" without a doubt. Plus, He is Straight up Truthful and doesn't beat around the bush. He is also Under rated. ( Down by Law ) !!!
I was born and raised in the South Bronx and I remember I was raised listening to hip-hop 1979/1990 and MC Shan still and always will be my favorite rapper...and yes I'm (P.R)
We watched hip hop be born!!!!! Breakdancing, dope beats and lyrics growing up in New York during this time was everything!!!!!!!! #memories #brooklyn #bedstuy #nygirl
I think they did done production on it keke Palmer was set to play Shante even to pics in shall toes and four finger rings by a big boom box idk what happened
Some music executive was always saving LL Cool J from some rap beef. 2Pac originally dissed LL Cool J in the first unheard version of "Hit Em Up" but Quincy Jones made Pac take the LL diss out of the song because Pac was dating Quincy daughter at the time who was LL's ex girlfriend...plus Quincy Jones was executive producer for LL Cool J's tv new tv "In The House" so Quincy thought Pac dissing LL was bad for business
Is it a terrible thing that "Q", a *true,* big-money, fat-resume', industry *legend,* saw something in LL Cool J, and wanted to spare LL of all of that 'hood-ignorant, street-BS, because he envisioned much-higher heights for LL ? Is that a terrible thing? So, now LL hasn't been shot dead, has his *own* decades-long multi-media resume', and *is a bigger star than ever.*
Joe Fatal took me to G Rap house when he lived in Pomonok. G Rap had sinusitis when he had the brain surgery. He wrote a classic in the hospital I wanna say streets of New York. Fatal was blessed at one time he had me, Nas and G Rap writing for him.
Shan ego is legendary. He kept the edge in hip hop back then. Hip hop could have gotten soft way quicker if it wasn't for people like Shan keeping it competitive and honest. He was a great villin and aggressor b back then.
D. Felix Photo that whole ego thing was just a NY thing. Back then NY'ers had very big egos , weather you were in the music industry or not. We were competitive with everything we did. It was always who's the toughest,who dress better , who had more jewelry and money. We felt anything outside of New York was corny and couldn't compete with us.
arinic7 I understand. I was more referring to it because these kids won't know his music but him being in the game back then introduced many across the country that attitude. I think people in any hood feel the same about where they were from but he embodied that and as far as rappers were concerned Shan was like the first 50 cent (minus the muscle). He was known for taking it to people.
arinic7 nah, niggas from everywhere had egos. Back then thts pretty much all you had was yo name in the streets. NWA even said it back then all you rapped about was who you are, what you got or about a sucka MC...lol
Great interview! The Juice Crew was my favorite Hip-Hop clique. We'll never see a group of mc's like that ever again. We're talking Kool G Rap, Mc Shan, Biz Markie, Roxanne Shante, Craig G, Masta Ace, Big Daddy Kane. Rap/Hip-Hop needs to return back to that era....
I’m the biggest M.C Shan on the planet. Everyone in my neighborhood knew it. From 1985 on. I’ll NEVER forget the first time I heard “I Pioneered This”. It stopped me dead what I was doing and I just froze. I simply couldn’t believe Act Two could be so powerful because it was so fresh in the fall of 1988 when I was a Senior in high school. I wish could step into a time machine and live that whole era of the 80s over again. That’s where everything was shaped and molded.
Shan's so damn real that you got to appreciate. He's got an ill voice that people must've forgotten about. Shan and those cats were a solid foundation.
"Kill That Noise" was harder than "South Bronx" in my opinion. But "My Philosophy" kills anything MC Shan has ever wrote. Man those were the good old days
The Breakthrough was LL Response on the Bigger and Deffer album. The line "dogged out Puma's plus your managers jerkin", was the line that let you know. Shan was known for bigging up Puma.
@@robertwilliams9288 LL also on that same album got at MC Shan on the song "357" "I'm a nappy, sappy crappy imitator of who If I ever imitated it wouldn't be you, ooooh."
"The way I shine, I got splendor/I'm the real thing and not a pretender/You got the nerve to pop a fatal question, I'm taking my time to make a small suggestion."
WOW! I just realized that Greg Nice may have "borrowed" this rhyme scheme from Shan on "Funky For You": "Seen many visions of love and splendor / I'm the real thing, not like a pretender".
***** You're right...I completely forgot about that. I want Kool G to do one like this...by himself. Necro is wack to me. I never understood that collab album anyway...
Thanks for this Vlad. I see a lot of the interviews you put up with current artists, and I have no idea who the people are. Great to see MC Shan on here though ☺
Andy Raye Your right and even before social media things still were alot better.Rap pages ad the Source magazines were the shit and MTV Yo raps,The Box and BET raps were amazing back then.
Andy Raye the 80's all together was just a better era- everything seemed so genuine, but you gotta recognize what came with the late 80's and 90's, when the crack era became very violent.. so the music changed, the climate changed.. I remember when Mobb Deep stepped on the scene, everybody wanted to be grimy.. it was a few before then, but Shook ones dropped!? It changed the game.. WuTang changed the game.. Tupac changed the game all in the 90's.. the 80's was the Jet magazine era, were ppl actually loved each other or had that common respect- radio was still authentic, Hip Hop was golden.. 90's!? The grimy era, the technical lyricist came in too..
Charles 91771 yeah says all the niggas in the same Kangol hat and Adidas and sweat suits 😐😐😐 or all the NWA clones. style jackin been in the game forever
+Derrick Winding I wasn't talking about the clothes. I was speaking of the music. I didn't say mc's jacked other mc's style. I'm saying biting wasn't tolerated. That's why Shan took issue with Cool J & that's what sparked the beef between Kool Moe Dee & LL Cool J. Today everything sounds the same. You get rewarded for stealing somebody else's style, but back in the 1980's if you bit somebody else's style your rap career was OVER!!
Charles 91771 bruh them dudes in the 80s and 90s did. Like I said a them NWA clones, bruh so many niggas in NYC sounded mad similar, shan a damn crack head sellout anyways. He was on a stealing song himself (Imformer...the whiteboy who wanna reggae)
I bought the cassette of MC Shan-Down By Law in 1987 which features an image of Puma sneakers and a Kangol on the cover. I still have it to this day! Favorite cuts are “The Bridge” “Marly Marl Scratch” and “Down By Law” The Juice Crew All Stars best cuts were “Evolution” and “Juice Crew All Stars Cold Chillin Records 87”
Awesome interview! Shan is an Unsung rap LEGEND and he keeps it 100. I think his unwillingness to 'go along to get along' and also being the ANTI-everything hurt him in the end. The industry is fake as hell anyway! BTW, I'm over the drug disses & talk by others because MANY people were doing them and those that weren't were getting off doing OTHER crazy things, please believe! The bigger the star the later the truth comes out but it will. Meanwhile, Shan has been speaking his truth for a very long time and I respect him for that. He is also blessed to still be here and in his right mind. At the end of the day with Shan's voice, ghost writing, style and a number of his songs deserves more respect & recognition!

Crack is wack came from someone who indulged . Nope to dope came from a person who helped dope become easy access.Rather you smoke it in a pipe or with a zigzag...its the same ish.Shan was 1 of my top 10 back then and after seeing this interview regardless of his fallback ...he still in my top real.
Lol they always tell the truth when they pretty much are no longer in the business like they were back in the days. I think about 95% people in the music industry of all ages and race are doing drugs

There wasn't anything like peeling the plastic off a fresh cassette tape. It even had it's own aroma. Pop it in and press play.
Gosh, you just gifted us with a great memory. Ludacris has a platinum pendant of a cassette tape.

I am glad that Shan admitted the truth about his "Ego" and drug usage. It takes a real man to admit his mistakes.
Exactly just imagine what's going on now and the music industry but like I always say the way they speak on television is not how they are in real life The Hunt is on to find its scattered remains

I think MC SHAN is very underated but he is a great mc
Shan IS VERY ARTICULATE. MANY EMCEES DONT HAVE THAT !!!
What the fucks up w that niggas teeth?
Chance the rapper is better. NOT
Was a great MC pass tense.
💯! If you are able to appreciate hip hop and categorize it by eras, Shan like many others will always be a great MC
Highest respect for MC Shan, honest about his flaws and nonsense in the business.
Shan had one of the illest voices in hip hop history... Top 5 voices.
I like his stories. He's hiting them from different angles. Gotta respect it. He's 51 and still dropping dope stories like they happened yesterday.
You can tell cats were sharper back in the day just the way they talk, man.
Definitely have to consider MC SHAN a Rap Pioneer "Living Legend" without a doubt. Plus, He is Straight up Truthful and doesn't beat around the bush. He is also Under rated. ( Down by Law ) !!!

it was suppose to happen back in 2006 or 2007
They sure should!!!

this interview is one of the reasons i have mad respect for shan because he spits nothin but the truth 100% of the time!!
Donald Ussery . agreed .
Exactly I've been searching UA-cam for interviews like this just imagine what's going on now and the music industry
This was when artists could beef for the love of music and bragging rights and niggas could still hug and be like love ya homie!
Much respect for mc Shan. It takes a man to keep it a buck and not mention anybody else.
love mc shan,
stay real my brother, still rocking to your music!!! btw great interview.

I was @ that Syracuse show, my boss Cole brought shan to Syracuse with TJ Swan; Shan spit the song kill that noise and the crowd went crazy!
So underrated... Real Hip-Hop legend!
Respect for getting the stories from the OGs!
"Kill That Noise" was harder than "South Bronx" in my opinion. But "My Philosophy" kills anything MC Shan has ever wrote. Man those were the good old days
Kill that noise was dope - then "The bridge is over" killed it.
“Kill that noise” was waaaay underrated! I, seriously, rock it to this day!
“South Bronx! ... Kill’at kill’at noise!”
“Bridge is over” murdered “kill that noise”
That whole Down By Law is a classic

Thanks for this Vlad. I see a lot of the interviews you put up with current artists, and I have no idea who the people are. Great to see MC Shan on here though ☺
1983-87 was the best
The 80s my fav era because everybody sounded different. The 90s was cool too but some artists were a little samey
Andy Raye Your right and even before social media things still were alot better.Rap pages ad the Source magazines were the shit and MTV Yo raps,The Box and BET raps were amazing back then.

Andy Raye it's easier when it's new and fresh before all the ideas been used
Cant disagree with any of the replies, but just for my ears sake the 80s was the best.
Shan is animated and great on interviews
At 8:50 That's what's fucking up the game these days everybody wanna sound or look like the next nigga..
Back in the 1980's biting somebody else's style was against the rules of Hip-Hop...

Back in ‘86 I was in a bodega in BK and copped Down By Law and Paid in Full obviously they were on vinyl...all these years later I still have them.
These old school dudes all have the best energy. Kane, G Rap, Shan, LL etc. They all have a certain presence about them that these new guys don't have.
new dudes don't have a clue what hip-hop culture went through These blazed trails & pave the way from Strong Island to Bombay
