[vonsusername]

[anfony22]

This kat is ill. From- KC

[TetrapakProdzekt]

living and walking legend (and good looking if i may add)...much respect from Serbia

[69nicksmith]

Melle Mel - The best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be. Sorry Bret.

[SniperAKABanks]

Epic

[nomdeplume72]

Kind of an ironic video as Melle Mel has never actually been arrested.

[cbmets1177]

@TooRealForYall i understand he wwas one of the first ones to rap but hes very bad lol honestly, its great that he did that but joe budden is like seriously probably the best lyrical rapper or one of thm at least right now. like this is not good rap, you can argue that his music is good if you enjoy this kind of music, but its nothing close to great rap.

[voltronsbabi]

@cbmets1177

You are clueless, its sad.

[95sahin95]

WTF 64.000 clicks?!

even soulja boy have over a million on every second track!

support the real hip hop!

[DocSkribblez]

The beat sample is Issac Hayes' "Ike's Mood"

Salute to the Grandmaster Melle Mel!

[soopazo]

AGAIN, Y'ALL AIN'T READY!!!

[208fern]

Budden didn't say he was better than mel. He said 'melle mel!!! Pioneer' Buddens point is that when the list was made it wasn't made by relevance, That whole list was shit especially since eminem got 1st. It's a bad list

[enanobx]

joe budden is trash in all seriousness & is nobody in hip hop..hasnt contributed to the qame at all..so yea uhuh watever

[coreymaggette]

@enanobx

lol @ budden is trash.

He's arguably the realist lyricist to ever live.

There's nothing special about this song either.

[cbmets11771]

idk how anyone can think this man is better then joe budden, who the fuck cares if hes a 'rap legend', hes just lyrically not better then budden and your an idiot if you disagree.

[Weaponxslim]

Real Talent! Something Very Few Of Us Work Hard Enough To Achieve!

[crazybunny9909]

this beat is fucking sick. any body know where it was sampled form or maybe other artist that used this beat?

[hustla809]

@crazybunny9909 j cole nd joe budden used the beat i think scarface also

[omarrn28]

Rap can learn a lot from the Jazz tradition of respecting its originators. Melle Mel is as important to rap as Miles Davis is to Jazz...and many would argue more so!

Today they are still kicking in doors for the future of hip hop...they are first hip hop group to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! True Trailblazers!

[ravensunn]

hes still keeping it real. no one can even come close to melle mel

[apimpnameshell]

YA'LL YOUNG STUPID FEEBLE MINDED FUCKS MELLE MEL IS THE TRUTH.HE BEEN ROCKIN MIKES SINCE MOST OF YA'LL WAS IN NUT SACKS.AND IF I EVER SEE JOE BUDDEN I'M SLAPPIN THE TASTE OUT HIS MOUTH.

[VoiceOfReezun]

Come on son, how you gon come out rapping like THIS in 2000 something??? smh, get an up to date STYLE and a nice ghost writer or let The Message do your rappin, this shit is wack with a capital W!

[218gz]

2 be from the cheese toast (East Coast) This is L.A Style

[AsiaticDisciple]

THANK YOU FOR THIS AND ALL THE YEARS WE STRUGGLED IN THE 70'S MELLE MEL. YOU SURELY SHOWED ME THE LIFE BROTHER!!

[giseba7]

Melle Mel sang "Chak Chak Chaka khan" "Let me Rock you" The best!

[trugio157]

THIS GUY IS A FUKIN JOKE WANNA BE ICE T!! WOW ! WANT TO BATTLE? LOOK AT MY GUY FAKE GUY RICH PROBLEY WANNING TO BE POOR TO ACT GANGSTER!! MITTTCCCCHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[chills8468]

@trugio157 YO PLAYA GET YOUR FUCKIN FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE U START RUNNING OFF AT THE MOUTH!!!!!!! HE'S BEEN AROUND SINCE THE BEGINNING. WHERE THE FUCK WAS ICE T WHEN TRUE HIP-HOP STARTED? OH MY BADD HE WAS OUT ROBBING MUTHA-FUCKERS!! OH AND BY THE WAY EVEN ICE HAS SAID HE'S NOT A RAPPERS OR A MC!!!

[Dizzey1019]

@chills8468 I was bout to respond to dude to, till I read what u typed and you already said what I was about to say.......lol. Peace

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

@trugio157 you dumb muthafucka Mel is a fuckin LEGEND, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT.

[titoortizisapunk]

pretty good song i guess

[gankstaswag]

You have a point because Kool Herc is who Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Afrika Bambata, etc. all drew their inspiration from. Sugar Hill Gang was just the first to take Rap mainstream with 'Rapper's Delight'.

[titoortizisapunk]

sooo gay

[RareRapVideoz]

@titoortizisapunk ONLY THING GAY HERE IS YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND..you douche bag

[TWN321]

@titoortizisapunk Melle Mel is a pioneer of Hip Hop. He's a LEGEND! You are obviously not a hip hop fan. Or maybe you are 15 years old and no nothing about the history of hip hop.

[titoortizisapunk]

@TWN321 ooooh you didt just drop the friggin L BOMB on me DID GYA!

[kuihkun]

Melle mell's mother is cherokee

[gankstaswag]

It could be argued that Sugar Hill Gang was the founders of Rap

[centennial13]

@gankstaswag it could be argued but it wouldn't be right.

[verbalpage]

good video

[MAYRHYTHM]

excause me sir

i'm looking for this song lyric

thank you

[subfusion01]

Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, this song is decent, it' S not something that I would have listened to when I was in the hip-hop, this is one of these songs the weeds merchant listens too much and your similar WTF takes so much a long time, I made six months with the twill trousers and these ain' types; T nothing

[MAVENdeNYC]

This song is HARRRRDD!

[ozoid455]

that last part is from "AMERCIAN ME" simone essay!

[jive5willie]

One of the top greatest mc's of all time! The others are T La Rock, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, CL Smooth, LL Cool J, Kool Moe Dee, MC Shan, Lord Finesse, etc.

[DaStrongman1]

gay

[ozoid455]

so is your pathetic life! next said that without the dildo stuck up your ass!

[0ligarch]

classic shit...I like it

[DJXTEK]

Melle Mel is now writtem Mele Mel, I think - He has a newer album out and he spells it differently.

[PimpThisTrack]

lol that was some cold ass shit

[IgorSavtchenko]

I like the track itself, the video is a little over-the-top. Melle Mel has mentioned in a pretty recent interview that he has never even been arrested. Nor would I expect him to, his lyrical genius puts him at the top. Melle Mel and Grandmaster Caz have been cited by Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane, respectively, as major influences.

[jellybalboa]

this is heavy

[powerfulpexsternycb]

Half of the rappers that do gangster rap not even gangster selling nickels and dimes then throw out a record and blow up.

But Melle Mel did it all much respect haters keeps hating what ya gonna do when Melle mel comes after you

[fnkdrmmr]

Damn. What happened to the great Melle Mel. The Furious 5 use to rock NYC. Now they are doing silly wannbe Hollywood-type videos. Cali dudes are known for that b/c they don't have talent. Melle Mel and the Furious 5 are known for their talent. A person once told me, cheese and other foods sell - talent doesn't. That's why the airwaves are flooded with talent-less rappers.

[fdsaks]

He is doing tours overseas making cheese.

[roflwaffle12321]

joe budden thought he was above THIS? the fuck?!

[homeskilletbiscuit49]

@roflwaffle12321 Most rappers have imense egos. Take Kanye West for example. I imagine Joe Budden is no different

[SuccessIsMyDestiny]

@roflwaffle12321 He IS, in my opinion. Trust me, i know all about all the accolades, the achievements and everything that Melle Mel aswell as the Furious Five have done for Hip-Hop. That still doesn't change the fact that they are hottrash when it comes to rapping...

[TheRulingElite22]

Omg this shit is so wack melle mel

Is done nobody gives a fuck what he did our lyrics now could defeat any of his old shit , tell him to go eat a dick !!!

[KDH321111111111]

Loked; not that you were being negative but MMel lost less than any other - ever! Pure legend as well as GMF - total icons and my idols and the Originals (and very strong/ tough - anyone can lose a fight once...)

[powerdon215]

Melle Mel!!! He's the one that started all that muscle stuff in the Rap Game!

The Furious Five were superstars when the Rap game just started. He's damn near 50! And still spitting ryhmes! If you don't know who Melle Mel is, don't go braggin that your into Hip-Hop.

[nizcho]

rofl look at u

[chucke2319]

i swear dude this looks like the movie AMERICAN ME in 2:25 when thier about to fight and 3:16 when the guy gets shanked to death and they throw him of the ledge you should check tha movie out its pretty gud

[LazarusEinstein]

I think that is where they got the idea from.

[LazarusEinstein]

Very deep song and vid. Peace all.

[kooleri30]

That video looks like a gay prison porno

[vargam]

:DDDDDDDDDddddd

[LokedOutHipHopJunkie]

Freddie Foxxx in '92 knocked this dude out in a boxing event. Also Mikey D beat Melle Mel in freestyle battle back in the day. Just a few old school memories or in my case documented that I have read up on. None the less Melle Mel is a pioneer and gets my respect in the Hip Hop game.

[diggindeeptv]

I think you'll find it was Willie D who knocked out Mel - 'The message' to me is one of the greatest hip hop songs of al time

[ozoid455]

you got the tape? or did you just see the pictures in the source magazine?

[universeplayground]

this shit sucks to me...this cat tryin to be hard...hahahah

[PitRazor]

Melle Mel came up in the Bronx during the1970's and 1980's

I dont think he's TRYING to be hard.

[vyrgo84]

he refused to fight so his own gang mugged him right??, damn rather be dead than to go to jail!

[s7ightly4ltered]

goes listen to ur lil wayne cd

[0othelonetigero0]

i thought i heard some Queen up in here, correct me if am wrong

[metahmayne]

royce 59 sampled this

[123godthatsme]

Ohh... This is on of my top 10's... It's dope..

[EDOGZ818]

King Sun & Mary made a version too, " Making gee'z , Blowing Trees ".

Hot joint though, considering Melle mel never adapted or changed with the times.

Video concept is fiyah! Glad melle mel was 2 real to sell out! I'll by his shyt anyday!

[k0sta5]

The only thing about this and some of the other solo stuff from Mel on YouTube is that it needs to be redone in a proper studio and proper producer.

The music is amazing but the bass is not thumping enough.

This is SO f'n good!!!!

[gheemunnie]

Melle Mel, old school in the making. 50 cent and some other hiphop artist are pushing roids to have that kind of body, is not happening dude!!!..lol saw him last year at the park hiphop concerts and he looks a lot older but still got it.,

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Hail Melle Mel. One of the greatest rappers of all-time.

[joseeluiszarama]

I Like this Song I can feel the words What they Say

[vyrgo84]

that g attitude looks so stupid ,but i guess this is the only way to survive...

[spanishliljon]

This also samples Isaac Hayes - the same sample mary j Blige used on "I love you" from MY Life

[vyrgo84]

they look gay

[Possesiloveyou]

Grandmaster Caz, Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kurtis Blow rulez... I like this

[Vanda67]

Damn some people don't know anything about rap, Melle Mel is the leader rapper of the Grandmaster Flash and the furious five mcs, they come from the Bronx. Melle Mel is the king of rap, one of the first world known rap singer, what else to add? check out The message and all the other tracks of Grandmaster Flash on YouTube and then tell me Melle Mel doesn't know how to rap

And HollywoodLasVegas, the song's sample is Bohemian Rapshody, the first song of the legendary Queen

[bboytrix1]

@Vanda67

u idiot the lead rapper in grandmaster flash and the furious5 is grandmaster flash u fuckin tool. hes a million times better thn melle mel. know your shit

[MsSheBal]

@bboytrix1 actually grandmaster flash was the founder of the group and DJ, he did not rap hardly at all on their albums, Melle Mell Was the main rapper

[solow79]

@Vanda67 I cant seem to hear the Bohemian Rhapsody sample. I can hear a sample of 'Ikes Mood' by isaac Hayes though..

[camgan1]

@Vanda67 Melle Mel was an innovator in rap when it was in its infancy but he is honestly not a very talnted rapper by todays standrds. He was the best there was in the early 80s but that clearly shws becuse of his basic flow and lack of any real lyrical skill. He deserves respect for what he did for the genre of rap but he is not that talnted of a rapper becuse he wasn't able to keep up with all the innovations in rap since his time. And I'm not trying to say Lil Wayne is better. i mean real rap

[zaantjedam123]

@Vanda67 but that doesnt mean hes the best ?? because he aint the best there are way more better rappers

[hiwattamps]

@Vanda67 You got THAT right man.....fuck was there ever any question that he's the king of rap and dominates to this day.....good lookin' out and defending man.....you laid it down....I don't even know who this other clown iws....joe budden....eat it. hahahaha....THE ENDING OF BEAT STREET when he's on stage at the funeral and like you said.....THE MESSAGE KILLS IT.....priceless and effortless for them.....DAMN.
