Discover the story of the song > The Bridge Is Over – boogie down productions

The song is about the protagonist, KRS-One, asserting his dominance over other rappers and claiming that hip-hop originated in the Bronx, not Queens. He criticizes other artists, including MC Shan, Marley Marl, and Roxanne Shanté, and says that they can't compete with him and his crew, Boogie Down Productions. The chorus repeats the phrase "The bridge is over", which refers to the Queensboro Bridge connecting Queens and Manhattan, and suggests that the rappers from Queens are no longer relevant in the hip-hop scene.
