*long story short: budding BDP got insulted by the more established Juice Crew, so they stole Marley’s beat tape which they then used for the beats of several tracks on their debut album, beats over which KRS-One relentlessly dissed every one of the Juice Crew’s members. Truly epic beefing.

and while all that happened, KRS-One was there, and so was Marley Marl. youtu.be/cmXiKGo3Zy8?si=4yEkJg — referencing a number of famous rivalries but only implicitly the infamous Juice Crew (Marley Marl) / BDP (KRS-One) beef*, with which KRS set off his recording career 😂

In absolutely perfect news for the weekend, Ms5 took out first place in the regional under-8s Hip Hop Dancing competition.
She danced to Missy Elliot's Work It 😵
The other kids were twice her size, she's just a little dot.

I went looking for a link to Missy Elliott’s All N My Grill on my subscription streamer. Really digging listening to it again but then an American male rapper starts in English! Big Boi? Where’s MC Solaar en français? Turns out I had a European version of the CD back in the day. 😆 That’s a global music empire tailored to local circumstance. Well played. Here’s the European version.

while I ponder those, there’s also this question: has KRS-One always been THE historian of ? BDP - South Bronx youtu.be/vsrOy32nJdI?si=jMz5sk
