6) The Bridge Is Over – KRS-One
It’s one thing to diss an individual; but it’s an entirely different thing to diss a whole borough. Few rappers would have the gall, yet the respect to do so and get away with it. Ladies and gentleman, enter KRS-One.
Like LL Cool J, KRS is one of the legendary MCs who’s been in quite a few battles over the years, yet he’s one of the MCs you can argue that has never taken an L in a battle too. Taking offense to MC Shan’s and Marley Marl’s classic song The Bridge (which may be another case of a terrible misunderstanding), KRS uses a Caribbean style flow to shoot down Shan, Marley Marl, and even Roxanne Shonte.
The most memorable line of the whole song is definitely a shot that KRS takes at all of Queens (Manhattan keeps on making it, Brooklyn keeps on taking it, Bronx keeps creating it, and Queens keeps on faking it).
