5:44 Thru 7:00 POWERFUL!!!

Melle Mel & the Furious Five, I was 13 when that song came out. Could there have been a better time to be 13? NO!

[ricco549]

Wasn't Melle Mel & the Furious Five. It was Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. This dude is robbing the truth right out of the kings mouth. GMF was the first. Not this fuck. GMF Brought this fool aboard, and now hes pawning it off.

[sternumkick]

I agree it was originally Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five... Melle Mel was part of the Furious Five and due to a falling out Melle Mel became Grandmaster Melle Mel. One of the reasons was Grandmaster Flash's drug habit, falling out's happen in any business. But to say Melle Mel is a fool is just stupid, hes the reason why there is rap and not just bada ba dabang a dang-dang! But ricco549 what would you know, your only 20. A member of the furious five passed before you were born.

[rawkid30i]

yo,it's sugarhill records that credited the record to grandmaster&melle mel,in order to fool the public that grandmaster flash hasd participated on the record.

[MinkMink999]

Now this is what I call Rap Music. Not the boring, no rymes, no ryhtym bull crap you hear today. G-Master, teaching 'em how it's done. Yeah Baby !

Grandmaster Flash wrote it

[zer0nable]

@SillyP198

do your homework .. the song was written & produced by duke bootee & melle mel ( they are also the rapper)

grandmaster flash did nothing , only gave his name for the record & video

[MinkMink999]

Best Rapper of the last 30 Years

[selectajay2000]

[pk06511]

best rapper ever white lines the message and beat street true songs of life

[tazer5]

WHY IS HE LIPSINGNG?

[acid4pres420]

he isnt you shitty cal-o scrub go back to runescape you faggot

[inkermanBs2]

the last verse was acapella blood cus it was the only verse he wrote. duke boote & sylvia robinson had that sht tied up. Him & flash got caught up in a court dispute in the mid eighties over the use of the name grandmaster. it was all the lable cus mel wanted to do his own ting & up & leave.

[STRONGO39]

Please do us affair and just retire

[go2palm]

The men and the message that turned the whole world on its ear! Everybody who picks up a mic in the name of hip hop should be paying this guy royalties, so he wouldn't have to be playing dookie J&R promotions.

Then again, maybe the irony of it says a lot too. After all, who sold more "boom boxes" than these old cats? Huh a ha ha ha ha!

[GHETTOWEAPON]

greatest hit

[lenaldinho]

that a capella is quality!!

[RpMaGiK]

GOLD

[Dboombox]

hey his hair is stil the seam

nice

[limeginger]

Torn about this. Love that they're out and doin this! And love the a capella starting at 5:43...but wish that Caz was spinning like in the old days, rather than playing the original song under Mele Mel's rap...I understand why he started spinning Chic's "Good Times" at the end, but it kind of clashed with what was happening on the mic. Exciting in some ways, and I'm glad I saw it - thanks for posting - but also a little bit frustrating.
