what happend to music like this? nobody has notting on GRANDMASTER FLASH! every mainstream song 2day suckz ass!! not to metion all the bad rappers who sampled the intro.
shutup, why dont you find your own fucking music, huh, how come its so hard to find MF Doom, The Knux, or the COol Kids, use the internet dumbass and stop complaining,
As for their style of dress, in the Boogie down Bronx there were not one monolithic look. There's sooo many people in New York you had to stand out! There are styles upon styles and yes, Punk fashion informed their dress code as Rock, Disco and Funk informed Flash's choice of music. Melle Mel would knock your ass out! LOL. They were far from queer.
gd song. u know how they all turn round one by one after each line?...well on 0:42 the guy second from the right doesnt turn as fast lol...i thought he fuked it up
Vinni! please delete these dumbass beefatron comments below, I came here to chill catch up on some knucklehead- free good ol' party music, KEEP THE BEEF FOR SOULJA BOY AND THE REST OF THE 'CLUELESS' BRIGADE! (cheers)
A groundbreaking influential band no doubt. We have Sylvia Robinson to thak for the Sugarhill label back in the late 70s / early 80s. Clever use of 'Tom Tom Club's' 'Genius of love' on this track. Brilliant!!!
This is the last video i'd expect an ignorant ass motha fucka to be beefing with someone. Farid 9461 you are one big fool ass motha fucka please get the fuck outta pages like this if thats how you're gonna talk. Straight goods onebadmo you got that shit on lock, you know whats really good with hip-hop. You tell those ignorant ass motha fuckas whats really good.
Negro Please, in order for us to battle you have to b a worth it. everything i say it fact. Repulican Ha Ha. I'm on the street every day for my people. You may know how to read, but your comprehention is suspect. Rap was considered as just Niggers talking 82-83-84, Now it's larger than life. Deal with it. Got money Got Dime Got connection and. On top of all that, I put you on your back.
I'm N 2 uplifting a fallin Humanity, not spatts with fools. U 46 years old try 2battle? (WOW)
This is 2 ONEBADMO:so u want 2 battle u will say no more fuck with my flow I'll show the fake "Republican" in u that will b no more when a hope of change comes ur way Mr. Gay Barack is where u should b but u want 2 b on McBush dick offay ass Nigga get off Palin tip of her nipple and stop eating fat dicks 2 the F 2 the A 2 the G fake as "GAY REPUBLICAN" and u don't stop BITCH!!!!!!!!!
This is hip-hops birth stage, can't wait til we start's makeN real music again.
Nigga are on some Koonshine hambone porchmonkey buckdanceN foolish Ebonics chit. I mean gettN paper is more than cool, but when we get it, don't throw it in the air. No other race of men act like that & women aren't bitches. HipHop was as a social political & reflection form a RAP (Rythm And Poetry) Corp america has fucked up its essence. NIGGAS qte; "Will the real black people please stand up" unquote; Last Poets
The more old rap songs I hear the more I realize how much they've been sampled by p-diddy and mariah carrey. Sampling done by anyone other than the beastie boys is a rip-off.
I was a very good popper when this came out I was also learning how to break. two years later I had crazy windmills. back then it was considered nigger jive. Now it's the biggest american born product from clothing to lucky-charm ads- oh yeah next to weapons
just black people will think of another something that will take the world another fifteen years to get.
Bitch hah? Fag huh? Farid4961, i been 2 your page. your the one standing in the mirrow with his tittie out. what part of the game is that? If you live in a glass houes, don't throw stones (No other words) but damn must suck living your life.
U got 3 youtube friends, Good for u, U need someone to talk to hater, all my shit got five stars. U the only nigga out of sink, think about it. U the only nigga with a jerry curl.(connection) I got more homies in the Naddy than U fool. U mad cuzz of what I say?

U BETTA ASK SOMEBODAY. just sit in your truck, remm.. put on your air breaks, keep ur haz-matt and stay N your washed-up place. maybe 1 day u won't b so better. Aint even thinkN bout Rappin against a man your age. u out dated, happens 2 us all, wisdon should let u know when to bow out gracefully. Oh yeah,No replies wer ever raps dummy!
"Niggas lookN like Larry Homes flabby and sick, trying to playa hate on my shit, eat a fat dick". Keep going to the gym fool, you still have a long long wide ass way 2 go. TalkN about women is one of your hobbies. Negro please. And I mean Negro. If you read the Quran and are a El Hadj Melik Al-Shabazz fan (Oh, That's Malcoum X's name) you would not be stepping to a Mo like that. U can't see me, be me, cheat me or defeat me. your move fat-so.
By the way again ur gay ass rap comments the truth hurts read ur own page u were told what a dumbass u r with what u said and like Pac said ab Mobb Deep "them little busters r not on my level"that would b u also and Islam u don't know the 1st fag!!!!!!!!!
you still got jerry curl, u fat, u got titties, stick 2 driveing trucks. U played out, callN yo own girl a bitch, I only deal wit dimes, I'm above, U fucken wit 3xOG and don't even know it. niggas rap about my life, My home over 650k (Cali)prices nigga, muthatfucka can u buy dat? Dime wife, been around the world, legend N sports. BA degree, 3 whips. VIP and still Revelutionary Moor. I am hip-hop Nigga- I let go of mo kitkat than u'll ever C. DONE PLYN WITCHA!

i agree, the problem is, greed took over and ruined a unique form of art and in the process ruined a generation. we accept every and anything, enough is enough
that's right, no one knew this stuff. and i mean NO ONE. i'm a white girl and even how i got ahold of it back when is a mystery to me! i only know that my runnin' partner and i were the only ones jammin to it! for real.
Just having fun no commercialism yet. This was when Hip Hop was young and full of potential, still is we just have to have fun again and STOP the violence in HIP HOP YYYYYYYY OOOOOOOOOOOO
Notice on this video there are 6 furious instead of 5. At one time Kid Creole has personal problems and had to take a leave from performances. He was temporarily replaced with Kevi Kev from the Fantastic Romantic Five (second from the right). The verse he is rapping is actually all Raheem.
Hip Hop of the 80's was so refreshing. No cursing, just good old fun Hip Hop. I remember when Birthday Party came out in 81 and I heard the Kazoo for the first time... Classic....
me: In the 80s there was Too Short, Ice T, NWA, and Two Live Crew. The difference was everybody was doing there thing instead of eveery song being about "niggas" and "gangstas". In todays world Soulja boi and Bow Wow are clean....and annoying.
The first rap every done with this music was the flip side (B-side)of the 12" single of "genius Of Love" by the Tom Tom Club. The rap was called "Yella", and the rapper was Chris Frantz...the drummer of the Talking Heads and the Husband of talking heads bass player Tina Weymouth.
true. but sadly some artists of today arent doing much to keep the real hip hop alive. there ruining it instead. but credit to the ones that do. =p i love the clothes they use back in the day. very groovy. bahaha

Great song and album! You don't see too many music videos that are one continuous shot, only other one I can only think of is Mr. Krinkle by Primus.

Rap sucks now, because in the 80s rap music was so jolly, they were happy all the time, you wanted to dance all time this music
The rap now, is all about the "niggas" and "gangstas", and all this bullshit

20756163: 80s rap music was so jolly
me: In the 80s there was Too Short, Ice T, NWA, and Two Live Crew. The difference was everybody was doing there thing instead of eveery song being about "niggas" and "gangstas". In todays world Soulja boi and Bow Wow are clean....and annoying.

The first rap every done with this music was the flip side (B-side)of the 12" single of "genius Of Love" by the Tom Tom Club. The rap was called "Yella", and the rapper was Chris Frantz...the drummer of the Talking Heads and the Husband of talking heads bass player Tina Weymouth.
