MC Shan's "True Stories"

MC SHAN has decided to put the record straight in regard to the reasons why he didn't appear on the JUICE CREW "Symphony" track back in '88 when MARLEY MARL was putting together the IN CONTROL VOLUME 1 album. According to MARLEY's version of events, SHAN didn't want to appear on the track even though it was on recorded the same day as the legendary JUICE CREW photo shoot that appears on the back of the LP (with all involved lounging near a private jet and MARLEY dressed as the pilot). MARLEY had always told the other JUICE CREW members that SHAN himself didn't think he needed to record a track with any "new-jack" MCs as his career had already taken off. After seeing MASTA ACE speaking on the matter SHAN has now decided to broadcast his views on how this situation went down. Who is telling the truth? I will let you decide for yourself. Either way this is interesting stuff.

Hey read both sides of the story on S.O.H.H. Far as not participating on The Symphony could go either way, BUT gotta go with Shan on Marley not producing all those Juice Crew classics.Kool G. Rap in a issue of Rap Pages from the 90's said the same thing!! G claimed they (Kane,Biz,Himself) Came with the beats and Marlon arranged them. arranged
