...Hattan keeps on making it, Brooklyn keeps on taking it

from KRS-ONE – Hip Hop Vs. Rap Lyrics on Rap Genius

Boogie Down Productions — The Bridge Is Over

One of the great early dis songs, this was a response to MC Shan’s ‘The Bridge.’ Since then, these lines have been quoted in about a million rap songs:

Manhattan keeps on makin' it,
Brooklyn keeps on takin' it,
Bronx keeps creatin' it
and Queens keeps on fakin' it
