According to MC Shan, Pete Rock allegedly used his and Marley Marl’s classic track, “The Bridge,” without permission for a joint song with Common.
As HipHopDX pointed out, Shan had initially praised the pair on Instagram for sampling “The Bridge” for “Wise Up,” a track from Rock and Common’s joint album, The Auditorium Vol. 1, which was released in July last year.
In May, he dedicated two posts to the pair; in the caption for one of the posts he thanked them “for the check.”
