Thank you Mc Shan
That's a good story.
Only a few years later Masta Ace RULED New York with Slaughtahouse. Still going strong.
peace!
Another solid produced True Hip-Hop Stories. This came out well, especially with the high-definition you are able to push with the 5D MKII.
Looking forward to more stories. Stay blessed.
Well done D-Nice. I need to know what kind of camera you have! That piece came out brilliant!
Peace!
I love the Vid Clip of Master Ace (His Story). I always wanted to know why M.C. Shan wasn't on that song.. I am very interested in Having a Hip Hop game show of some sort.. Not those easy questions but the Hip Hop Intellectual questions so we can solidify our culture.. Not just black, white or asian but, Hip Hop... If you can and do recieve this give me a holla back. I would sicerely appreciate any interest... You hold a significant key to the possibilities... Thank for you contributions to the culture and my life... MaucyBro...

HipHop Never Felt So Good!
Thank you as always,for keeping the story alive and making sure the future knows the truth of the past.
THis video quality is off the hook. I know the 5D is crazy but in that light as well? Or did you use extra lighting?
Well this is a video blog to actually follow because it doesn't look like it's been shot with the iphone or some other crap most of the blogs are based on.
Bonkers!!! You're killing it!
Yo! D, good looking on keeping the essence of hiphop alive. We need these stories and clips of shows just to keep us old heads grounded. Hip Hop is losing its grip on our culture with all the cursing (not rapping) these cat's are doing now. Good look brother! KEEP THAT HEAT COMING....................
Great piece! Luv that gritty, grimey feel to it! Keep showing and telling the stories that need to be told!
That was wonderful... We need MORE of this. Keep it comin'...
Nice, you've REALLY carved out a niche for yourself in this thing we call hip hop. I LOVE how clean it is. Much respect and love...

This is like a dream come true.
Real Hip Hop history is a must.
This great stuff. Made my day a whole lot better.
Your site is Bookmarked. No question!
Keep up the good work.
Im down for ANY volunteer work to help continue this movement.
I love hearing stories like this. Sounds like there was a lot of competition in the room, and no dick-riding or love fests. Just a bunch of cats who felt they had the best rhyme. Serves Shan right that he later got ate by KRS-ONE. Kane and G. Rap went on to become among the most heralded lyricists of all time; Craig G was the one of the nicest MC's to never get large and Ace, yo I still have the INC Ride album.
I never knew That & I was apart of the Marley MArl Family.

[...] to put it down with his True Hip Hop storoes web series. Some of the past stories include Masta Ace - Composing the Symphony and Doitall of the rap group Lords of The Underground. The latest is of 80’s rapper [...]
Masta Ace did his thing on The Symphony. It's amazing how things work out, and it's also wild how hindsight works. I know Shan wished he was a part of that song after he heard it. Those "unknowns" took off once that song hit.
wooow , neva know that. (After all these years of playin' that record) Great video!!! Keep Up the good work!
Wow....Let me see since it was '88 so Shan bowed out from the song during the time KRS was rippin' him in half. However Shan was tight in his day, he just couldn't stand in the wrath of The Teacher!
That's a great story. Have to thank shan for being on that pedestal it brought ace to the forefront & that take a look around album, fire. i was straight violator couldn't tell me nothing about bdp & the bx but that (postin' high, music man, me & the biz) those were classic joints from the juice crew.
