Along with Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie and Roxanne Shante, MC Shan was one of the rappers who put Cold Chillin' Records on the map. The New Yorker never had a multi-platinum seller, but he was an entertaining and often clever MC whose solid rhyming skills earned him a medium-sized following in the mid- to late '80s (especially on the East Coast). While Play It Again, Shan isn't outstanding, the CD has quite a few strong points, including "It Don't Mean a Thing" (which draws on the Duke Ellington classic), "Death Was Quite a Surprise" (an account of a youth who gets sick of working for minimum wage, becomes a drug dealer and pays with his life) and the anti-drug commentary "Rock Stuff."
