Document Summary
This song is really a product of marley marl"s cold chillin": mc shan and marley marl are cousins but they did not know, marley marl brought mc shan into the studio rather than being a thug, mc shan is calling out ll cool j, because apparently ll cool j is stealing his beat, mc shan was worried about the wrong guy, ll cool j, mc shan"s song called, the bridge, same single, the problem with this song is that lyrically the record appears to be endorsing something that other rappers are going to say stuff like. Hip hop is from queen"s : the queen"s is making noise: ll cool j, run dmn, and mc shan, the first time in hip hop history where people are going to be forced into deciding where they stand, second song, the people of the south bronx people feel a sense of entitlement, queen"s area are stepping up.
