grandmaster flash invented every cross fade trick he even invented the mixer one of the switches is named after him its called the flash hes the first and the king of this hobby.
This just makes me wanna cry! It doesn get any realer than this. B4 anyone calls themselves a rapper or MC or DJ they should be MADE to study this and listen to this over and over and over again just to let it sink into their soul.
I WANT TO THANK GM FLASH AND THE 3 MC'S LATER THE FURIOUS 4 MC'S FOR ALL THOSE GREAT MEMORIES. I.E. SKELLYS, BREAK DANCING AND MOST OF ALL HIP HOP. I MUST SAY HIP HOP UNDER THESE GUYS TRULY SAVED MY LIFE. IT GAVE US AN OUTLET, SOMETHING TO DO, LOOK FORWARD TO, LOCAL HEROS TO LOOK UP TO AND MIMIC. 1973-1979 WAS A GOLDEN ERA AND IM TRULY BLESS TO HAVE WITNESS IT. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHAT EARLY ROCK-N-ROLL MEANT TO MY PARENTS!
Wow! This really brings me back. I can SMELL the era. Hip-hop was so intoxicating. I recall my heartbeat increasing as I walked closer to a park jam or party. Those were the days - British Walkers, Lees, mock necks, Spaulding shades, BVD's, Malt Duck, girls wearing jellybean shoes, etc. I'd do anything to experience one of those summertime saturday nights.
@Powerules Fam, your comments are so on point! Oh yeah, did you say Malt Duck? Wow if I can find an apple flavor joint right now it would be on along with some Trouble Funk "Pump Me Up".
These were our teachers and pioneers!!!!!! They showed us how to do it as if it was meant to be. All the music technology of today, samplers, software, drum machines etc. was inspired by GRAND MASTER FLASH!!!!!
i'm 47 years old in june and i was raised n bklyn. we moved there from chicago in '76 when i was 12. when it comes to rap, tagging, breakin', crews, grafitti and coterfields, addidas and what not I WAS THERE!!! loved it when king tim the third came out...i'm so lucky. "fever my niqqa, harlem world y'all."
@AVANTMUSIC133 Wow u left Chicago right when disco and house music was about to kick off not too long after. That's wassup thou. I love NYC just the same! It's like my 2nd home. City life dude right here!!
I'll be 36 next week so it kind of feels like Hip Hop and I grew up together. Some people say it's not like it use to be, but nothing that grow stays the same. God bless the pioneers and the new generation for keeping it going. For better or worst. Hip Hop all day! It's all love!
I am 41 and grew up when this was ALL NEW. I miss my records tapes and recording studio. I need to pull out some old rare tunes I still have and upload them don't I... :)
AMAZING :) one of my favourite festival moment of the past 15 years is seeing Grandmaster Flash at Homelands in 2003....fabulous set tracking his progress through decades of music...fab :)
Listen to all the original hip hop, the point was to keep the sucka mc's out of the game - because they would water it down and make it whack. But corporate power came to their aid - and now look around, the sucka Mc's won.
@MoralNihilism Yo, my man what was that song the DJ's would cut up " Trinidad Where I'm Going, Trinidad Island of Love" ? I been so long but it is in the back of my mind.

This is official.I remember this like yesterday going to the flea market in the bronx purchasing mixtapes from the tape master.Taping flyers to the wall in my bedroom etc.
I remember back in the day, we use to stay up late and listen to 105.9 NYC,,,This station only came on in the middle of the night with the Supreme Team show, snd they use to play the live battles and this over the air... If you have a radio at home, you also has your cassette set and ready for recording,,,
It's great when you get to hear these songs the way they were supposed to be.its hard listening to the recorded old school hip hop because all those producers would put them in the studio with the house musicians and make that corny music instead of them record the raw.its like if flash would not have begged Sylvia Robinson to let him record that one record adventures of....I don't know its just a shame there is not much old studio quality hip hop that really got to showcase what was goin on.
if you were not there you could not appricate the movement of the blackdoor on boston rd in the bx and the dixie club on freeman st ////this columbo dam we having fun ///casonova all over..........
you can hear some echobox on Public enemy - b side wins again. Edan is also a fan of the echobox style as he uses a similar effect in his performances.
I love reading the comments on here. Now if we can just get all 206 of you to each bring 2 friends and charge $10 a head we can get this shyt going again!
This was such a precious time,at 52 I am so glad I was around when HIP-HOP began.It is much different now(commercilaization).This the real deal,not manufactured.I enjoy todays era but this is just fantastic.Flash was amazing,I could tell you stories but not here.Peace.JA.
@JAA2090 True JA! I'm 44 and I was there from the beginning also, although obviously unable to get into the clubs in the 70's and very early 80's, though it never stopped me from getting to a street jam at 12, 13 and 14 years old (before I started sneaking in the clubs w/you older dudes lol)
what this represents is a time when it was exclusive..the only way you heard this
is if you went to these jams..thats what they where called..jams.
bronx ,harlem, brooklyn, not to many people had DJ sets. this was the time
when cats would go school shopping at delancy st , sheep skin coats,
leather bombers, stradler coats. IT WAS A BLESSING TO HAVE GROWN UP AND EXPERIENCE ALL OF THIS.BOX RADIOS.LEE JEANS..PEACE TO ALL THE PEEPS THAT KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
Flash was so dope - i hope y'all realize he is looping the record with his hands, which is why the beat is imperfect - you know, in a perfect way - and he's using the pitch control to change the key of the song - hot shot!
One must Understand Flash's Cuts and his mindset. No one was on time like Flash. His style of timing was so Uncanny. His sense to catch a record from the top and crossfade it in only to have it right on time was sick. Not to often was he ever of beat throwing in a break from the top to match what was already spinning. I have seen and heard Jazzy Jay from Zulu and Charlie Chase do it on occassions, but the first to ever make me take a second look at timing was Flash. The Genius of Timing.
you can understand and reflected Hip Hop, if you study the History! this is so important to teach the youth of today. What is the essence of Hip Hop? To be creative in all the elements in Hip Hop, to have fun, to jam up! God bless all the heroes of the original oldschool cats! one love, one nation,...zulu nation
Yo i remember cat's with the echo box, had the juice at the party's,plug that bitch in niggas could get killed trying to get on the mike. Shit was a double tape player with studder,LOllll.
@stevio yeah but it won't be like this. this is frozen in time. to get it to this high of a level takes time & money which just aren't there. and its a damn shame! lol
Outside of the cussing (which wasn't that much), this stuff was the SERIOUS JOINT! REAL rap, not this, gangsta, pre-arranged, un-imaginative, phony, deathly crap they call hip-hop today.
I was at the Audobon during this night. It was the first time I broke night. Got home around daylight. I was 15. The only reason I went was because damn near my whole block was there. DJ Starski, The Grand Wizard Theodore and my Boys, The Chocolate City Crew ft., KK the DJ and Money Mike, Horny Horns and Tony Tone on the Microphone. What you wanna Do? I wanna do the FREAK DANCE! You had to be there! Shout out to Gerald. (forgot your DJ name)
This sounds like back in the days when hip hop was like jazz. Listening to a live recording was better than the studio tracks. Everyones rappin in the moment.
These are some bumpin beats. 10x better then all the mainstream "rap" and "hip hop" they play on the radios now. jay-z, soldier boy, kanye west, lil wayne. all garbage.
I agree. THAT's rap, not this thug,hoey, mismash, gobboly-gook JUNK. Serious beat, improv, the serious joint! I wish they could've refrained from the profanity.
Dope!

Outside of the cussing (which wasn't that much), this stuff was the SERIOUS JOINT! REAL rap, not this, gangsta, pre-arranged, un-imaginative, phony, deathly crap they call hip-hop today.

Of course the beats came from Jazz.. The original Made in America music! They had to come from somewhere.

I was at the Audobon during this night. It was the first time I broke night. Got home around daylight. I was 15. The only reason I went was because damn near my whole block was there. DJ Starski, The Grand Wizard Theodore and my Boys, The Chocolate City Crew ft., KK the DJ and Money Mike, Horny Horns and Tony Tone on the Microphone. What you wanna Do? I wanna do the FREAK DANCE! You had to be there! Shout out to Gerald. (forgot your DJ name)

This sounds like back in the days when hip hop was like jazz. Listening to a live recording was better than the studio tracks. Everyones rappin in the moment.

These are some bumpin beats. 10x better then all the mainstream "rap" and "hip hop" they play on the radios now. jay-z, soldier boy, kanye west, lil wayne. all garbage.

I agree. THAT's rap, not this thug,hoey, mismash, gobboly-gook JUNK. Serious beat, improv, the serious joint! I wish they could've refrained from the profanity.
