@timx73

No-one forced any of them to stick it up their noses....too much ha-ha-ha-ha money. No sympathy whatsoever. Heads up their own asses so much, they would not have given a flying jobby about you

[timx73]

if only houston and winehouse took notice of this song they'd still be here.

[lilymacsification]

@timx73 Amy Winehouse beat her addiction to illegal drugs in 2008. She died from alcohol poisoning .

i live in worcester, mostly middle class midlands, in the early 80s I was the only girl into hip hop, we didnt know what we were doing we just knew we loved afrika bambaata and grandmaster flash and the new graffiti coming off the trains in new york and we loved it and I am 42 now and have seen so many of the greats - run dmc, public enemy, erik b and rakim, derek b, salt n pepa and so many more, those were the fucking days, so proud to have been a white girl lovin and feelin it from the start

[morecowbell69]

I heard this on the radio on Maui last week. Bad reception....like it was beaming in from 1983 (or maybe Oahu). It was even the long version. Used to have this on a mix tape 28 years ago as a high school freshman....damn

[capstonecw]

Back in the early 1980s, I made friends with someone on a cruise ship from Colorado, and he asked me to send him an LP copy since it was unavailable there. He sent me a check, I ordered it for him, it arrived, and ... I opened it and made a copy before sending it. This sond rocks from the 1st bar.

[smitchl100]

being brought up in the 70"s brought me here

[halag]

well this is confusing. HOw come wikipedia says this is NOT Grandmaster Flash but is in fact Melle Mel?

[audiohex]

@halag Melle Mel is the MC, Flash is on the decks.

[halag]

@audiohex Thanks for that but wikipedia actually says GMF had NOTHING to do with this track and was no longer even with the label when it was recorded. I have no idea as I always thought it as GMF - just saying whats on Wiki - which isn't always right. If it's wrong someone who knows this stuff should probably fix it.

[audiohex]

@halag Maybe wiki is wrong, heaven forbid! lol. I had this track on the best on Grandmaster Flash CD...

[halag]

@audiohex Probably LMAO I don't trust wiki when it comes to things like music and artists. Too many wierd fans/haters editing the things. I'm going with it being GMF anyway - so there wiki.

[audiohex]

@halag One thing is for certain - you could play this track at any club in the world and it would go down a treat.

[xXGatumadreXx]

Skate and Destroy game LOL ;P

[BudzillaDubs]

what a trippy song!

[jcansecojr]

"White Lines (Don't Do It)" is a song by Grandmaster Melle Mel, on Sugar Hill Records. When originally released on Sugarhill, the record was credited to Grandmaster & Melle Mel. This was done to mislead the general public into believing that Grandmaster Flash participated on the record, when in fact he played no part and had already left the Sugar Hill Records label the previous year. - wikipedia

[ericgault]
