In Canarsie, Brooklyn, Masta Ace is better known by the kids as Coach Ace. Almost all of them rap, but have no idea their head-coach is one of the best who ever did it. They’ll get a pass, though. They weren’t even born the day Marley Marl gave Ace a ticket into the legend by letting him in his mother’s apartment in Queensbridge. Right here, the Masta finally tells the world how a Brownsvillian ended up in the legendary Juice Crew, and how he hooked up with Marley Marl, Shan, and Craig G the same day Kool G Rap recorded his first track ever.
