Grandmaster Melle Mel-White Lines Live

[algeo1100]

Wow takes me back - love this song.

It's amazing how bad backing vocals are.

But Melle Mel has a great voice.

[ILuvReggieVirus]

whtie people were so boring!

[MrLawman10]

where is this clown now?

[247BASSin]

Great showeven though they have zombies for an audience. This song is EPIC!

[jackle5000]

I think the crowd need some white lines yo

[www305familyCom]

As a kid I use to love this song

[ozmaweezerman]

God, I wish rap was still like this

[042766]

Please change title - this isn't GMF, but GM MM. GMF had nothing to do with this. Look at the EP it states GM and MM - not Flash.

[jp118118]

Apart from the grandmaster no one can sing. its sounds like a load of crap which is why everyone is looking to say, "I want my money back."lol

[Tangobob1]

Yo,yo,yo , those were tha dayz...

[rtok07]

It's L'OREAL,,, because she's worth it lol

[soapygel]

Would have loved to have been there instead of the idiots they've got watching them.

[42STUKA]

Where did they play this, a zombie-fest? For the most part they look astonished. They have big hair, weird. The dudes playing though have a German war helmet and a bobby helm from England, effen great stuff!

[buhoglive]

good the kids haven't found this yet. I don't think they could handle the genius

[buhoglive]

one dislike what!!!!

[mcfizzle420]

Nobody was rockin they were all freezin lmao

[PaoloVeneziano1958]

Why wasn't this a smash? It's got everything - a driving bass, a great tune and Melle Mel's powerful vocal. Pearls, swine etc.

Freebase!

[rtok07]

"Gang bang diddly dang de dang" lol

[snakeurmaw]

i love my white lines BABY!!!

[musiclover3928]

Hell yeah!! this is the jam. "Hip Hop Don't Stop"

[SaucyWench7]

where is this audience? I'm thinking this can't be an American audience. At least I HOPE it's not.

[otispitbull]

@SaucyWench7 I think it's some type of TV performance. Or a performance in a home for the deaf and blind!!!

[SaucyWench7]

@otispitbull lol. The audience is just an embarrassment . At least if they were deaf that would be a good excuse.

[mrmojorisin291278]

@SaucyWench7 Thats the 80s for you, i reakon it must have been uncool to act like you were enjoying your self if you watch most videos from that decade nobody smiles and they all look like someone shoved a very long broom shank up their arses.

[SaucyWench7]

@mrmojorisin291278 Oh no, believe me, I worked in an 80s club and I guarentee you people danced their asses off! That's why I just don't get this weird audience.

[adammertje]

there,s a black nazi in the line

[THEREALKING40]

The original line-up was the best & should of never broken up.I think the line-up Flash had w/Rahiem & Creole was a lot better than this one,though.Mel is great,but this line- up is awful & extremely untalented.What were they thinking?

[haymaker710]

What's Rick James doing in the middle?

[dunlaoghaire]

wow

so un pc

[peddleandcrank]

what a classic.if it wasnt so blatently obvoiusly about drugs it would have been much bigger

[MrKevdor]

them stiffs watching this must regret that they missed a moment in musical history right in front of their dumb m*therfuking eyes

[tompoof]

Grandmaster Flash had nothing to do with this song. It was co-written and recorded by Grandmaster Melle Mel. Sugar Hill chose to release it under Melle Mel to insinuate that Flash had something to do with it when in fact, he had left Sugar Hill the previous year. The more you know.

[49blackboab]

great track ....was in the charts for months back in 1984

[mufc99ok]

one thee best rap tunes ever

[jackassunit22]

man that backup singing sounded horrible, maybe they were nervous playing an all white crowd lol

[slodontop]

the stiff audience proves that the world needed men like this to teach them to dance

[mofodolo]

DAMN! Do these lame fucks know who they are? This is one of the pioneer groups of the hip hop era.

[aupsychobilly]

It is a post punk crowd that can't stand them...they were probably there to see DD, Echo, Iggy or someone else.

[sonictrashgroove]

@aupsychobilly Nothing wrong with liking this and Echo and Iggy. In the 80s if you were around at the time, you'd have noticed people didn't pigeon hole music as much as now. They are just a crowd seeing something for the first time - it sounded alien at the time, and hence great. As did Echo, Iggy etc....

[woodgatejack]

Look at that audience! Jesus Wept! The folks you got on The Tube were emos and hipsters before it became a meme! 

[78rohan]

oooollllllldddd schhhooooolllllll

[Ace4mArk2Ark]

Original Anti-Drug Song, spun in a neat and cool way. Real British crowd, froze just like he said!

[jdrios1971]

FREEZE, ROCK, how hard is it to yell it?!? This brings back memories, great track.

[209caliguy]

Lame ass white people!

[harleydd]

How the fuck arent these idiots not dancing....wow what a crowd, I would of shouted some shit to them if I was in that band...WTF??

[garyjohnwilson68]

Grandmaster Flash the original and the best. The dude they all copied.

[sunshine52512]

this music is timeless..I love it, the way they're dressed up, and their moves. they were putting it out there..I think you must be very strong to be a pioneer, because you don't get any credit. Look at the audience, they are giving a 1000% and still nothing, exhausting i guess.. .It's sooo"o"ld (s) cool!! ;o))

[oul5]

old school ... real... steal....

[stoveD]

flock of seagulls play tomorrow nite kids

[visionkingdom]

ALL THESE WERE KIDS IN DA LATE 60S N ALL THRU DA 70S SO THEIR MUSICAL INFLUENCES WERE DA LIKES OF PEOP.LIKE GEORGECLINTON N DA P.FUNK ERA.RICK JAMES EARTH WIND N FIRE AND SO ON.AS FAR AS HIP HOP INFLUENCES.WELL.THERES NOT REALLY ANY PROBBLY EXCEPT 4 DA COLD CRUSH BROS.

[bangkokaaron]

[Elwoodblues87]

@bangkokaaron

HUH? Andre3000 would have been a puppy when this came out.

[burnetth]

problem. the flash shouldnt have been giving out all those white lines for free. the crowd was gooooone.

[lcredeur1]

This is a Fish Classic Oh and Heartbreaks for those who remember

[costcordero2]

i love the artistry - flash & co were the parliament funkadelic of hip hop ...

[Katzpurr70]

Say Freeze..Say Rock..Lame ass mo fos.

[intheekeyofcrime]

[texasvamp8]

[palpatine17]

What a stiff, constipated audience. :(

[tranmer3]

@palpatine17  BRITS

[jackle5000]

@palpatine17 its because they haven't had no white lines

[Samskies]

[marcosmarcosgali]

Was this crowd waiting for the Human League to come on? seriously, this is dope, get with it!

[danksdaone]

[sidviciousbass48]

I WONDER WAT IT MEANS IN THE SONG WHEN HE SAYS "SELL YOUR SOUL" THATS WEIRD BUT AWESOME THIS IS A DOPE SONG

[batman3816]

@sidviciousbass48 i think he's talking about how you can get addicted . the song is about cocaine .

[ROBBARROW1974]

One of the greatest records ever made.

[io658]

He said he was high on cocaine when he wrote this song....about not doing cocaine lol

[mufc1970ok]

an absolute classic 

[secrow]

Quality.

[trinigirl212]
