On this day in 1987, New York rapper MC Shan released his debut album Down By Law on Warner Bros.  The single "The Bridge" kickstarted the beef between him and KRS-One and essentially MC Shan's career.  Numerous response tracks between BDP and the Juice Crew would ensue, with the main debate over the origins of hip-hop.

Produced by MC Shan's cousin, Marley Marl, Down By Law featured a few singles including the already mentioned "The Bridge" along with the response track "Kill That Noise," and "Left Me Lonely," which reached #71 on the R&B chart.
