there is no better rap song ever.it stands the test of time.no one and i said no rapper or group ever recorded anything as hard as this.now if you aint from ny you might feel differently,but the dj has no equal,and the furious five flowed.
Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, Favorite Rap group of the late 70's into the 80's. Rapper's Delight from Sugar Hill is good also, but something about Grand Master Flash's music has more 'funk' movement to it. Nevertheless, back then, Hip-Hop was more about an everyday life, now-a-days, it's really became more of the fancy, material, money, etc. Not bad either, knowing that this type of Hip-Hop won't be around anymore, we have to adjust to the modern day.
My uncle was in his junior year in high school when he brought this joint after hearing it on Mr. magic's first show on WHBI(105.9 FM) which was on every Sunday morning at 2am-4am. I would sometimes stay up with him listening to that show,too. I,myself was in 4th grade during that time. Thanks for posting this by the way.
SHANANAAA! That beginning is tight, how they come in introducing themselves HAHA! that's a MC! I can actually picture them at a show rocking it and bringing it back to this time!
This is what its all about not this crap we have to endure today by Lil whoever their name is. I thank god for all the old school heads who upload these vids and songs. May the Good Lord bless each and everyone of you *wipes tear from eye*
this is simply incredible & era-defining shit. i came here thru "the message" (which i'd heard for years) but hadnt known about this song until now. thanx for the quality upload! all hip hop fans should hear this, young & old. long live the old school!!!!
this to me is the 1st hip hop record i ever heard -how bout that i was lucky and i was in the mia in elementary my best friend from ny brang it down i think this record could be 1977
I went to Theodore Roosevelt High With Most of these Artist back in the day and man What a feeling I would get to be at a Jam and see these guy's turn it out. I was also a great Dj with a local following but never blew up Like Flash and the Furious Five.
Every one of Grandmaster Flash's give me the thought of walking down downtown Vancouver (my city) with a boombox on my shoulder(s) just dancing and creating a huge group to follow me, and then eventually gathering the whole in dance.
@Musik4soul777 in some locations seems to be. ... I found that location in google earth! It's the corner 6th Avenue/Lispenard Street/West Broadway .. looks a little bit different, but not much. Nancy Whiskey Pub still exists there! Coordinates are: 40°43'14.45""N / 74°00'18.05"W
Amazing, this record issue was released in 1983 (the song is older) so the pic can't be younger as from 1983, now it's 2010, 27 years later it still looks like at the pic.
Listen im a litle late with this but this was the harder side of hip hop at that time as compared to rappers delight. I got into hiphop way back growing up in Harlem and im telling you these guys were already legends the mere fact that it took the rock & roll hall of Fame that long to acknowledge thier contributions to Hip hop was a joke!!That being said they were the first to rock off that beat wayyyy before Jay Z..Flash and the crew are HIP HOP,,,
Wow! It feels just like yesterday when I was walking into the club listening to this bad mother! I was stationed in Cubi Point, Philippines 1980-1983! VRC-50 HAD THE RUN OF ALL THE CLUBS IN OLONGAPO CITY! The GO-GO girls was throwing it to this bad mother!
Now THIS IS HIP- HOP, In True Form. Grandmaster Flash from the Boogie Down Bronx, Kurtis Blow, The Crash Crew, Funky 4 plus 1 more. Those were the days. Not these wanna-be's of today who cant rap worth shit. Flash is a Legend.
Yo i was born in 1991 but i wished i was born in 1970s i love this kind of music which they dont do anymore fuck lil wayne and Justin beiber those faggots...
@kryptonian55 Download the YouTube downloader, plug in the link of this video and download it. You can convert it into a bunch of different formats after downloading the video.
@sovetskii13 Thanks for the tip, much appreciated! One question though. I downloaded the video and I get audio, but no video. Thats ok, as I want to only make an MP3 out of it anyway. Do you have any tips on how I can convert the file to MP3? Thanks!
@kryptonian55 When you open the YouTube downloader, on the right side is a box which has the shape of a folder inside. Click on it, then find the video file that you downloaded, double click on file, then at the bottom left, click on the circle next to convert video, and choose which format you want to convert it into.
@sovetskii13 Thanks for the tips! I also found another program that will let me covert the songs into in 320 kbps mp3s which is even better then I hoped for.
@IntellectualMusic I was born in 1991 too! And in Argentina, sadly but true but hip hop here is seen as semi-criminal music and drug dealers!!! The mass generation of 10-25 years old listen to "reggaetón" (mix of reggae with puerto rican music, salsa, merengue)...that's SHIT man! It's the today's south american rap, trying to imitate north rappers, all talking shit about sex, cars, drugs...freaking PIMPS! Get your feet on earth and start thinking and feeling!!! Ear wasting all over.
THIS IS WHEN THE MC'S TALKED ABOUT HOW GREAT THE DJ WAS. AND THEN THEY CHANGED THE GAME NOT KOOL MO DEE...DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MERCEDES....AND THEN KID CREOLE....THERE ARE 5 OF US...THE BEST RAP JAM OF IT'S TIME.....SORRY RAPPERS DELIGHT......
@nerdsquad Sorry, don't know the album, if it is on one. I have it only on this 12" MaxiSingle as you can see in this video. It's the cover of this 12".
Super Rappin' damn. Thought I had all the Grandmaster Flash tracks. I discovered this rare gem about 2 years ago. It wasn't on the SUGAR HILL label. What a perfect example of free flowin' mic passing. Using the voice as a weapon. Just awesome.
@Thunkle Super Rappin was released on Enjoy Records and written by Morgan "Bobby Robinson" 1 side was disco and the other side Super Rappin which was 16 mins long
Yo I remember this jam back in da days... my homegirls & I made our own little rap with this beat but for fun I still have the lyrics in my old school memoirs. This was the real deal back in da days. ONE LOVE, Giggles
Never listened to this type of rapping . I am ,well because I have not other words, astonished. I'm totally impressed by this talent . This old school, yeah..beat all, man. Thank you so much , this seems unfoundable in other sites of the internet-
Even though I was about 7 when this came out, I was still pretty keen on music for a kid. Hip-hop at this time was just so new and fresh, all ears were open when these songs were played between the traditional disco, and R&b records. Even at that age I new that music was about to undergo a huge shift in what everyone was used to.
This hip hop group is immortal, it didn't get much better than this when it came to hip hop back in the day, this is arguably the best assembly of MC's in hip hop history, classic 80's hip hop, no doubt!! R.I.P. Cowboy.
@deniseaustinlover I hear you, this was called rap back then, but this is really and truly the essence of what we now know today as hip hop, I thank God for these guys, they helped change music, this music is timeless...
OMG This is HIP HOP!!!!!! No one of today Can do Hip Hop Right!!! I actually forgot about this song. I was like 7 When it came out lol. You won't get Flowing like this again.
age has nothing to do with knowing real music.. you can take an infant and raise him on real music and he will grow up listenin to it seen.. i was born in 1991 and i know hip hop from hip pop.. this song I dig cos it is close to the funk/soul songs how they would sample the funkiest parts - thats how block parties started, and they would do what jamaican djs would do.. now its all about money bling and hoes.. wish that shit would stop.
@IntellectualMusic i agree..i was raised to appreciate music of all kinds...my grandpa was a jazz musician and my mom loved the 60's motown and my aunt loved the 70's rock..but even they grew and explored music and didnt stay in one area and encouraged me to do the same...music has always been an important element in my life and intend to pass it on
you seem to forget that money, bling and hoes were important factor ever since, from Jamaica, Kinston to the Bronx, ok b ? many people seem to forget that when they talk about 00s rap music
@borchabronx very true, but honestly, I don't think it is the same as 00s rap. Songs like eric b and rakim's paid in full were about making money while having little of it; whereas others like Special ed's 'Got it made' may be what your thinking of. This is fun music, whereas now it is a commercialised big business. essentially - money bling hoes are more important in todays rap than rap of the golden era.
holmes, I like to listen what other people deem as "old school rap", I think I know my music and you seem to know also. material success, goin from "rags to riches", havin a little bit of gold and a pager, that follows emceeing ever since Kingston days, over Roxy club days, you have that motive nicely pictured even as early as Wild Style and Krush Groove. I think people retroactively write into those days certain romance that just did not exist
The last time I checked it's Hip Hop. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that the younger generation don't.
When I was younger, my grandmother would say "that's not music!" She meant EPMD and so forth. You are doing the same. It's a slap in the face to the other billion emcees like COMMON, TERMANOLOGY, KRS, REDMAN, METHOD, RZA and so forth.
Hip Hop is expression. If you don't understand the expression, but they have many fans, something wrong.
*LOL* you're right. When I was young my parents told me also .. what your hear is not music. Today I catch myself when I'm thinkin that todays most RnB's, HipHop, Gangsta RAP a.s.o. is for the trashcan.
Sorry my dude...Today's Rap sucks. Earth, Wind & Fire even stated that it has really fallen off since the late 90's. Soulja Boy has his own expression, but that is nothing compared to the true lyricist. We are now in the age of entertainers versus artists. My Dad liked EPMD and My gradfather like Heavy D,so it depends but anybody who calls his crap on the radio music was born after 1987.
lol, unbelievably you actually think that the radio plays "Real Hip Hop." Stop it. "REAL HIP HOPPERS" don't even push music to the radio. If you need it, you can find it. There are 2billion emcees.
Also listen to Del the Funky Homosapien, listen to Buckshot, KRS, Termanology, Mos Def, Talib, Heltah Skeltah
Are you crazy? Today Rap Suck? You suck for making such an blanketed statement. Hip POP is not HIP HOP
Say brother...your preaching to the choir. I have listened to all of the artists you named. Im 30 years old and when I said rap sucks...I'm talking about the commercial crap on the radio with shitty themes. We all know there are billions of emcees who we will never hear off. I was speaking about radio only. You dont have to convince me about the underground. That is how hip hop started in the first place. Ever heard of Wu Tang Clan...lol!!! Im sure you have.
couldnt say it better i was born in 1991 and i hate todays music thats why i started to dj i love that old school sound before computers but im the only one in my high school that apreciates old school for what it was real music that was thought out
It's amazing how original the Furious 5 were. They made this record with no one showing them the blueprint - because they were the blueprint! I remember when I used to hang out with graffiti writer NOC 167 on the Grand Concourse and 175th Street in the Bronx and listen to Flash tapes. It's scary what rap has become.
Respect for posting No 2......I was only familiar with the 1979 version (which personally I prefer). Some subtle differences between the two, but still tight.
man! easily great tune! yeah man

"Hip Hop" didn't exist during this timeframe (late 70s/early 80s) - it was a late 80s/early 90s trend that descended from rap.
GMFATFF were among the very first "rappers" and literally helped define the genre.
Ghetto blasters, gold chains, loud sweat suits, suede pumas, and pieces of flat cardboard were the order of the day in the concrete jungle.

@deniseaustinlover I hear you, this was called rap back then, but this is really and truly the essence of what we now know today as hip hop, I thank God for these guys, they helped change music, this music is timeless...

age has nothing to do with knowing real music.. you can take an infant and raise him on real music and he will grow up listenin to it seen.. i was born in 1991 and i know hip hop from hip pop.. this song I dig cos it is close to the funk/soul songs how they would sample the funkiest parts - thats how block parties started, and they would do what jamaican djs would do.. now its all about money bling and hoes.. wish that shit would stop.

@IntellectualMusic Right on bro! I'm a '92 myself, and I'm totally sick of the modern day shit. We need change!

@IntellectualMusic i agree..i was raised to appreciate music of all kinds...my grandpa was a jazz musician and my mom loved the 60's motown and my aunt loved the 70's rock..but even they grew and explored music and didnt stay in one area and encouraged me to do the same...music has always been an important element in my life and intend to pass it on

you seem to forget that money, bling and hoes were important factor ever since, from Jamaica, Kinston to the Bronx, ok b ? many people seem to forget that when they talk about 00s rap music
borchabronx 1 year ago
@borchabronx very true, but honestly, I don't think it is the same as 00s rap. Songs like eric b and rakim's paid in full were about making money while having little of it; whereas others like Special ed's 'Got it made' may be what your thinking of. This is fun music, whereas now it is a commercialised big business. essentially - money bling hoes are more important in todays rap than rap of the golden era.

holmes, I like to listen what other people deem as "old school rap", I think I know my music and you seem to know also. material success, goin from "rags to riches", havin a little bit of gold and a pager, that follows emceeing ever since Kingston days, over Roxy club days, you have that motive nicely pictured even as early as Wild Style and Krush Groove. I think people retroactively write into those days certain romance that just did not exist

Hip Hop will never die. I can guarantee you there's a least one emcee on every black in America today.
Now...radio? Don't make me laugh.
Free radio is what basic channels are to TV.
Do you have cable?
Okay...get satellite radio. They play more underground music on Sirius and XM.
Watch shows like Tech + Sways wake up show or Davey D's Hip Hop corner.
Would you rather these young kids break in your car, or be in the studio almost 16 hours a day showing other kids that they can be successful?

As long as people celebrate the old school rap from 1979-1989 and onward, it will live on for years.

What is it???
The last time I checked it's Hip Hop. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean that the younger generation don't.
When I was younger, my grandmother would say "that's not music!" She meant EPMD and so forth. You are doing the same. It's a slap in the face to the other billion emcees like COMMON, TERMANOLOGY, KRS, REDMAN, METHOD, RZA and so forth.
Hip Hop is expression. If you don't understand the expression, but they have many fans, something wrong.
CALICOTV301 2 years ago
*LOL* you're right. When I was young my parents told me also .. what your hear is not music. Today I catch myself when I'm thinkin that todays most RnB's, HipHop, Gangsta RAP a.s.o. is for the trashcan.
miller4th502nd 2 years ago
Sorry my dude...Today's Rap sucks. Earth, Wind & Fire even stated that it has really fallen off since the late 90's. Soulja Boy has his own expression, but that is nothing compared to the true lyricist. We are now in the age of entertainers versus artists. My Dad liked EPMD and My gradfather like Heavy D,so it depends but anybody who calls his crap on the radio music was born after 1987.

Type in RBX freestyle
Listen to Crooked I - Week 19
stuff like that.
lol, unbelievably you actually think that the radio plays "Real Hip Hop." Stop it. "REAL HIP HOPPERS" don't even push music to the radio. If you need it, you can find it. There are 2billion emcees.
Also listen to Del the Funky Homosapien, listen to Buckshot, KRS, Termanology, Mos Def, Talib, Heltah Skeltah
Are you crazy? Today Rap Suck? You suck for making such an blanketed statement. Hip POP is not HIP HOP
CALICOTV301 2 years ago
Say brother...your preaching to the choir. I have listened to all of the artists you named. Im 30 years old and when I said rap sucks...I'm talking about the commercial crap on the radio with shitty themes. We all know there are billions of emcees who we will never hear off. I was speaking about radio only. You dont have to convince me about the underground. That is how hip hop started in the first place. Ever heard of Wu Tang Clan...lol!!! Im sure you have.
rockjohnson80 2 years ago

CALICOTV301 2 years ago
Before you make such a "BLANKETED" statement, which is slapping every emcee (including myself) in the face for trying to make you dance...
you should know that you don't make money off of radio. Not real money. Therefore, people aren't concerned with radio anymore.
Guru, Wu-Tang, Redman, EPMD, Keith Murray and so forth, they TOUR in places like "Stuttgary, Wesbiesdan, Munich, Sydney, etc."
You don't follow Hip Hop. If you did, you know Wondertwinz, 88HipHop, Sway and Tech Wake up show
CALICOTV301 2 years ago
Ras Kass, Tech9ne, Warcloud, Chino XL, Immortal Technique,Inspectah Deck, Dilated Peoples, Xzibit,
Should I name more?
Before you make a statement like this...keep your eyes open
Undergroundhiphopdotcom,
Vibe, Source, XXL, Hip Hop Weekly, Sirius stations and so forth.
I see a lot of impressive emcees daily.
And no one on the radio right now impresses me...no one.
Again, type in RBX Freestyle for real HIP HOP. It's here, it's alive.

It's amazing how original the Furious 5 were. They made this record with no one showing them the blueprint - because they were the blueprint! I remember when I used to hang out with graffiti writer NOC 167 on the Grand Concourse and 175th Street in the Bronx and listen to Flash tapes. It's scary what rap has become.
