The Bridge

The Bridge

MC Shan

Classic 1986 jam celebrating Queensbridge, home of the Juice Crew. Marley Marl chops the “Impeach The President” drums (one of the first uses of this technique), and Shan shouts out some QB pioneers.

This song was key in launching the career of Boogie Down Productions. KRS and crew took exception to the idea that Hip Hop started in Queens (even though Shan doesn’t quite make that claim here) and responded with “South Bronx”, the first in a series of dis records between The Bronx and Queens.
