@fatshoolaces Thank you so much! The first song I produced when I was 17 on Reason 1.0 used a manipulation of this bassline as the main bassline. Never knew where it came from till now. Good on you sir!

@gold95 I know that the begin part of this video is from Flash Gordon,but what i'm looking for is the vocal sample of "the great adventure's of" i'll be looking for these vocals for many years.It's also been used in Schoolly D's - PSK..Pls give me a link or other info!! Peace!!
Classic film!!! Still love the Grand master flash bit asmuch as i did when i first saw this way back in the 80's...before the days when money and ego runined the whole hip hop scene, it was still in its pure form then!!
@osidecoqui ....You are absolutely right. They could not get permission from Bob James to allow the original "Mardi Gras" song in the DVD version. So Fab 5 Freddy and the producers re-edidted this version. I have the original VHS version to. A classic and rare find. Don't ever lose your copy. I no longer play the VHS version because I don't want it damaged.
Hip Hop is the greatest on the sly feat of community organizing since the building of the pyramids. Everyone contributed out of the love in their hearts.
But now their is a price tag on each part and for that reason its sux because everyone is trying to capture the biggest crowd which effectively makes hip hop 'POP'
Pop and hip hop doesn't suppose to be considered the same class
Its fucked up when u see some of the hardest st rappers on stage with pop acts like Beiber
this is Tony Lords 170th Jesup ave of featherbed lane saying this... Notice how all the latin and black kids getting along. We had Dust back then and it was bad like crack, what happened?
i saw this beat street and breakin, 69st upper darby pa. i cant co sign on beat street and breakin, but wild style is some shit that should be put into a time capsule, so they can open 100 years from now and really know what hip hop was. hip hop is not rap. krs one said it best. rap is something you do. hip hop is what you live. oh style wars was my shit too! Niggaz Know. Niggaz Know
Seriously, this film made me a hip-hop fan. This little scene with Flash is awesome, its this 2 minutes that made me want to be a DJ. And not one of these stupid DJ's nowadays who just play a beat and shout stupid stuff over the lyrics like "yo yo we in da house" or plays from CD's or from Spotify, a REAL DJ, who would search for hours trying to find the right songs on vinyl. Thank you Flash, thank you Wild Style.
this is where its at..anyone who hears this then hears black eyed peas will know what and where REAL hip hop is and always will be. btw, if anyone ever wants a reason to hate b.e.p. read the interview where will.i.am talks about some austrailians tellin him "hip-hops dead mate, its electro now" and therefore giving him the idea for the end. Thanks "mate"
@UOMMTV Ive got about 5 boot boxes of cassettes. ive been taking one or 2 here & there and listening to them. been finding lots of song I havent heard in years. Ive pretty much lost hope for all the new hip hop.
@MrTecism well its suppose to be bob james 'take me to the mardigras' .but they put an edit track that sounds simiar.,due to copy write protection.if you can find the original copy of wildstyle it will have the proper soundtrack.
MAN DIS IS MY HEAVEN RITE HERE.U GOT FLASH N FAB 5 FREDDY COOLIN OUT.DEN U HAVE CRAZY LEGGS,FROSTY FREEZ N KEN SWIFT ON DA MAT DOIN THEIR THING.I LUV EVERY THING ABOUT DIS TIME N ERA.I USE 2 DRESS JUS LIKE DAT.AND N SUM WAYS I KNIDA STILL DO.SUM WAT.JUS A LIL UPDATED.
Can I ask why take me to the mardi gras has been ommitted from this clip and some similar sounding beat been added ? Kinda obvious its the same drum roll just different beat lol
@fakecape the track at the end is on the wildstyle lp itself if my memorie is correct.the music was done by a guy who was in the group blondie ..chris stein i think..
Luv this. But I remember seeing this when it was first ever broadcast on TV/cable and there's a different version to the Grandmaster Flash track. This here is the DVD released version. There's more bells and chimes added to this song but i guess they cut it our and/or re-edited it. Still sounds good tho. Glad I caught it.
