[LUKUS909]

[5B4Funky]

"...this is before anybody seen a person and take their hand and touch the vinyl and move it back and forth and spin it back... it didn't exist... it didn't exist until I thought about it in this building, this is where it happened.... My name is Grandmaster Flash, I am the first DJ to make turntables an instrument." - THE MAN IS LEGEND... A LIVING FUCKIN LEGEND

[90smyera]

@latinflavor081 it aint dead it transformed into something stupid old school always paint the ways yo stand up bronx we did it.

[cagool2fray]

[Yozanace]

Now after New Orleans the home of jazz I gotta visit Bronx to see where it all came from, the building should be used as a museum of hip hop ancestry.

Grandmaster tell em kid!!! BX all day!!! love the history GMF much love and respect from C.I. and Pelham

[bishopdante]

...well, there's Pierre Schaeffer of musique concrete from the 1940s who did 3 deck scratching, it's so experimental it's unlistenable. But yea, grandmaster flash is the dude who actually got the technique musically excellent, schaeffer dropped the phonograph in favour of tape splicing, he wanted a sampler really. Got to set it straight that strictly the use of turntables as an instrument happened much earlier.

Gwan Grandmaster! You rock, that's for *sure*! Big respect from London!!!

[nycricanpapi]

[vincelavalle]

Hear me and hear me now (GMF, you can grin anytime you feel).

Any DJ that wants to be considered a DJ... I mean a REAL DJ... better start looking at Flash's channel. I remember when Flash came out with that wild track with all those cuts on it. It was raw, it was fresh, and no one outside of hip hop knew what was going to happen... but we did....

[Fiinniinnii]

this is grandmaster flash? WOW HE IS 1 OF THE COOLEST PERSONS I EVER KNEW

[GiselaNYC1]

Grand Master Flash is the true & real HIP HOP DJ who turned the streets of NYC especially the BX into the biggest jams where u dance, shaked & moved to the groove nonstop. A good example of a kid who grew up & made real HIP HOP music one of a kind. He is the Father of Hip Hop and the greatest DJ of all time. I grew up hearing his music and till this day he still rocks my house with his awesome old school jams. ONE LOVE from Brooklyn... Giggles

[djdave1988]

Old School "Live Forever!!"

[chrisrap4ever]

i guess every house in the bx knows him.

[mierecords]

theres no one faster than grandmaster baby

[DANCINGKLAUS]

respect the LEGEND!!

[DJLOUIEMIX]

I'm glad we have a Living Legend !!

To straighten things up and make it clear of what he did and who he is !!

You Rock !!

-Keep It Rockin'!!

[shooz4u]

Grandmaster Flash is absolutely the best DJ in the world! I no I was there! I witnessed Grandmaster Flash beat 7 DJ's! This has never been done by any DJ since him!! He could cut records that no one else could! I hear it for myself. All DJ's owe any success they gain from the works of The Grandmaster Flash, without a doubt! Also, The Furious Five all rappers owe their success to the works of the five: Melle Mel, Kid Creole, Cowboy, Mr.Ness & Rahiem!!

ASIDE FROM BEING INSPIRATIONAL I prefer your mixing style as you mix/scratch in a much more relatable to music fans in general instead of the ultra technical scratching.

my fav mix of yours is from a double vinyl uk release on strut records 2002 with 2 70's block party mixes and the mexican

listening to those block party mixes i feel is like time machine to 70's south bronx

[DonJuanDeMarco2]

Grandmaster ! Thanks man. I feel honoured to have you share this with me.

To hear it come from you and and being down to earth makes it feel very real and close to home.

I just know the spirit and mentality of those times all too well, and the best way to describe it is magical !

Bless your genius man, its too overwhelming to put a value on something so instantly unifying, which spread around the world.

You most certainly are the Grand Master !

Peace !
