A man crying doesn't show weakest. Real men cry too.We love you Shan😊
I really appreciate Rock The Bells for documenting our Hip Hop greats. Peace Shan
I absolutely concur. I love Rock the bells & salute the sample
He lives a good life! He is straight up.
Nice to see the private side of him.
This is extraordinary. MC Shan was captured with authenticity, honesty and a lot of heart. Thanks Shan for sharing your story your way.
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Yes it was
The way he cried for Biz was touching. Much love Mc Shan
What's not to love about Shan,,,such authentic human being.
This is awesome. Glad to see Shan doing good. He seems like a great father, and a very talented builder. He’s kicking ass on the RV remodels.
Whoever edited this is a master❤❤❤❤
Those that know....shan was that dude at one time. Salute and blessings on your family
All respect due to Shan!!!
Thank you Rock The Bells for giving this man his flowers. Still one of my favorite emcees, MC Shan! PEACE, from Amsterdam.
Peace from the UK...Mc Shan Summer 1985..."Marley Marl Scratch ...one of the most underrated ...
Yesss Marley Scratch was crazy went it dropped
Being authenticity candid, M.C Shan was able to separate M.C Shan from to his real self
True Happiness does not come money💰, fame or notoriety, BUT the love of his family which is precious commodity
#mcshan
I think he just inadvertently told rappers they were slaves to their way of life but he is free as can be and his name is still spoken over 36 years later. Half of these new rappers are forgotten two weeks after they get shot! That makes this interview even better lol
I felt this in a major way….Salute to the Living Legend Mc Shan🙌🏾
Had to pause the video at minute 7. Needed to comment and say thank you. Thank you for creating this. It's amazing to see him in his life. He needs to have his own show!!
I didn't expect this to be as raw and emotional as it was, but I love that this is what we got. Peace and thank you to the legendary MC Shan for laying it all out there, and definitely to Rock the Bells for putting this together in the first place. For the culture!
This was well executed. Love every minute of it. Respect to the God MC Shan!!! 🙌
Got to appreciate shan for being open and real. Much success my brother. I too grew up on your music blasting my pioneers 6x9s. Lol
Shan thank YOU for YOUr truth. You are amazing...ALL across the board!
That’s what’s up !!!! Shout out to Shan !! MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT !!
Shan is one of the greatest. 💯
Much respect to MC Shan! This brother is the most transparent MC living.
Shan is the realist true story pleasure talking with him from time to time 👌👌👊👊💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Shan is the true essence of Hip-Hop. Beast in the Game.
God Bless everything you love Shan and THANK YOU for the memories that are still vivid as today. You already know you a pillar of this culture. They better know.
He may lost the Bridge Battle, but he’s winning the War of Life💯
Shan always 💯, thats a rare quality these days.
LEGENDARY 💐🙏🏾 MC SHAN
These onions keep messing with my eyes 🎤❤️😢😃👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Having come up during the Golden Age of Hip-Hop, it's an honor and privilege to experience this doc! I never even met him and I teared up right with him. Y'all just don't know - Shante, Biz, Shan, and many others, were as familiar in the Black household as fried chicken and floor model tvs. When he said "I Pioneered This" he did. NOT. LIE. 👏🏽
Great video, great production. Shout out to MC Shan
This is great to see. Salute to Shan. A "pioneer" who definitely should be discussed much more.
I grew up on Shan. His was the first album I ever purchased in my life at 12. Got it from Kings plaza Mall in BK- DOWN BY LAW for $11.99❤
Excellent piece on the legend M.C. Shan!!! One of the best to ever do it!!! Thank you Rock the Bells team for bringing this to fruition!!! Still my favorite emcee!!! Family first!!! Salute Shan!!!👑💪🏾✊🏾
I live near Shan and see him often in the neighborhood, a real authentic dude that will give you the shirt off his back. Great peace and i'm glad he's being celebrated.
✔️
The Bridge Keep Rocking...
Love this.. I have a whole new outlook on Shan. Wow!
Awesome!!! One of my Hip Hop Heroes, he's alive and well, give him his flowers NOW!!
So happy to see MC Shan doing well ...I used to go to the Latin Quarter and Roseland ball room in the mid to late 1980's I was 20 something early 20's and when it was no show going on Latin Quarter would let you be on the stage curtain down but I remember Shan was on there in the corner near me with this fine Spanish Chic and when he stepped off for a second I tried to holla at her 😅 ..but he came back to soon ...them times where great...We see Kane Biz Eric B Rakim Dana Dane ...Justice DMX all of them on the regular and we didn't go star crazy because we thought we was just as cool as them! 😎 My both spots was popping on a Saturday night Roseland kept Stetas sonic preforming or The R&B singer Shannon "Let the music play" some of the best times of my life ....🙏🏾☝🏽 For The Incredible Biz Marlie! 🥲
Brother, I seriously tell everybody that the Golden Era of hip hop started in '85/'86 . I was 15/16 years old and as a teenager we was up in them same spots you just mentioned... straight chillin. If you knew the artist that was performing you took a Deuce-style flick, let them hit your blunt, maybe took a swig o Ol English or Private Stock and went back to your hood. The next week you was bragging about how the artist and your crew was chillin at the spot where you went to see them perform. I miss those days that you mentioned fam. Salute to you for still being here past the age of 55 'cause a lot of us ain't here fam.💪🏾✊🏾
This is an eye opener and heart touching story! I have nothing but respect for this King! ❤
Thanks you MC Shan for being real with your story. You are very open and honest.
Shan may not be everybody's best M.C ever, but he's the realest M.C ever!, and the most hated on M.C ever.. Shan helped pioneer a certain element of hip hop and M.C careers! That brother deserve better respect from the Hip Hop Community!!!
This is very nice and there ain't no shame in shedding tears I know what that feels like you have a very joyful, uplifting and positive spirit Shan cos even in the darkness that light will shine bright 🙌💯🤙
3 and a half minutes in and this is already incredible. Shan is a legend and spitting truth.
I used to listen to Shan when I was 88, and now I'm 18. This will forever be a classic.

appreciate this documentary style interview❤
This was a GOOD interview!
Thanks for the likes on my page and all the support shown as a special fan of mine, i hope you don't stop listening to my music
FASCINATING! Shan a real one for putting this out. For the first time, made me realize that Shan might've been the pioneer of that wild child energy that we ended up getting with ODB, DMX and others. JayQuan from The Foundation (on RUclips) hinted at this years ago and now I really see what he means.
SIR MC SHAN TRUE HIP-HOP PIONEER 👑💯
Fantastic documentary! Great story, well done 🫡
This Rock The Bells piece is pure editorial perfection! Shout out to the living legend MC Shan and all that he contributed to this art form that we call Hip-Hop.
I’m glad LL is looking out for the ones who paved the way. It warms my heart.
May the force be with you Shan. Raising those small children at age 50 plus IS HARD WORK! MUCH RESPECT!
Talking about your love ones in being emotional is not weak when they have passed on it is beautiful and keeping their memory alive may they Rest In Peace.
This my dude we share almost the same aspect in life with our Love ones taking care of our kids my sister passed away I help raise her kids and Shan is doing the same exact thing we both be kicking it on Instagram together in our DM real talk!! ✊🏿💪🏿✊🏿🎤❤️

I was happy to have run into MC Shan out in Douglasville, GA one night at the supermarket.
Salute to the brother, MC Shan!
This was awesome. Thank you for this right here.💯💯💯
I grew up listening to 80's and 90's Hip Hop music. I remember those battle records between Shan and KRS-1, they were epic! . It seems so long ago nowadays. This video really touched me.
Thank you, Shan, for inviting us into your world. I'm so sorry for the loss of your children and close friend BIZ Markie. may they R.I.P I am who I am because of a quote in your number one hit. The purpose of this story I told is to inspire you to reach your goals, etc.I inspired teenagers to work hard and achieve their goals. I worked with them for nearly forty years.The entire end of the Bridge lyrics was a masterpiece. Shout out to the legendary great Mr. MC Shan. Hip-Hop's greatest. You and Shante are right. Enjoy your golden years, and stay blessed. I am doing the same Dam thang ❤😅😊
