now thats real hip hop 2 turntables and a microphone along with a drum machine,that took skill not that computer generated shit they have today keep it real bro thats real hip hop peace!!!
THIS WAS MADE BACK WHEN HIP HOP WAS WHAT IT SUPPOSED TO BE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SHIT THEY CALL HIP HOP IS NOW, "IT AIN'T HIP HOP", THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE, MAYBE THEY SHOULD CALL IT "SHIT HOP"!
BX STAND UP. I remember hearing this and pop locking my a** off in every and any party. Back when Kid Capri was still doing house parties in the Hood.LOL
This would be 10x better if it was a digital version of it. Whoever created this Y.T. video must have used a turntable from the 1920's you can hear the crispy sounds of the pops and scratches from the dust filled needle as it plays.
I was an 11 year old little girl, living in Bronx, NY and this song was BIG! Wouldn't changed growing up in NY during these years for nothing! We just about wore our sneaker soles out doing the Rooftop dance to this!
@SMC799 holy shit....me and my boy E were thinking of the roof top dance while we were listing to this...thinking no one would remember the roof top dance...then we read your comment....
To bro I grew up a couple blocks away from grandmaster flash, E 141 st Bronx , NY 10454 I went to p.s.65 do the research you got the anthem of the block yo Foreal, when that Shhh came out we was rocking it 24/7 the Bronx cypress ave, 141 st is where the message was done by them I saw it from my window yea baby u got the right Shhh up peace to you god and all the gods and goddesses of the earth
Thanks for posting this remix on here. I was getting ready to graduate from I.S. 74 in The Bronx located in the infamous Hunts Point area near Spofford. I wish Puffy should've paid attention to what remixes came out first before he even came out with an album called We Invented The Remix.
I remember hearing the instrumental first then just before they were due to perform in Baltimore I heard this version. Being an old B-Boy myself i wasn't impressed when I saw Larry dance, but hearing this live was the greatest! They didn't rap over tracks back then. They didn't run out of breath and hold the mic to the audience to fill in whle they huffed and puffed either unless it was call and responce like with the birthday Rhyme.
This group is one of the corner stones of Hip Hop / Rap, and even though it was somewhat new to us back in the day, it was done with style, finesse, class, and most importantly, you could understand the words and meaning of the song. These guys were the foot soldiers of the Hip Hop / Rap world, and I say that because it was raw lyrical talent, and the mixin' and scratchin' was all hands on talent as well.
The nostalgia that powerful sounds and songs of that era of music. I get such a high from being able to go back in my mind to the block parties, cook outs, good friends etc. This was so fresh back then. Thanks for posting. Peace
You can bet that these guys and many of the artists back in the day weren't hanging out in the studio for weeks and months at a time trying to get it "perfect". They went in, did their thing and got it down...they got it right.
I remember hearing this version on 98.7 Kiss-FM and being really pissed off that it wasn't on the album! Had to buy the 12-inch single, but you still can't front on that album version! Peace.
@Backin2time Can't front on reel-to-reel digital and DAT, though. It's the disk-based digital and MP3 that stink. Even DAT records at 48k instead of 44.1. Peace.
man all this "hip hop today" shit sounds like a broken record..I came up off all this old shit too but the technology is so fly now that niggas aint gotta put as much energy into it as when the technology was initially introduced..Niggas vocals so clean now anything they say is brought right to the front..these dudes had 7 dudes busting @ once ..the game is still tight..All these other races got they hand on the music now so its watered down..furious five was straight penitenitary niggas..
Yeah! Now this is real rap. That crap they put out today is exploitive and senseless. Bunch of bedroom talk, probably can't bust a grape, and money wishes. Need to get back to the real basics.
@Jurgenmeoff simple test for you to get an easy answer: Draw a Picture, draw it with all your Soul, dont let any1 babble into your drawing, just do whatever feels good and right. And take all your time you want for it!
Now draw the same or similar Picture. BUT: do it in 2 days, bring a few themes into it, because they just "hit the times" and imagine: you get big moneys, so its better fresh and stylish!
So, which Pic has to be better? The Picture of your Soul or what you did for money?
@Jurgenmeoff Yes it is so easy now a days with software.... the rule is that it should be more and more easy to do something original... but most tings that make it to the charts is copy-cat cut and paste stuff....
@Jurgenmeoff one word digital, it's too clean to be as powerful, there is no need for it though as software can emulate analogue faultlessly these days.
Do you mean that Lady GaGa came up with this beat???? If that's what you mean, then you are very wrong indeed. Grandmaster Flash and The Furious 5 were out long before Lady GaGa was even an embryo in her mommy's womb.
But if you mean that she stole this beat...then you are most likely correct because artists today steal the majority of their beats from the old school hip hop and disco.
what i meant-lady gaga has sampled this song in one of her songs. i know all about grandmaster flash, i had this song on LP disco single when I was 13! i wish i still had all those, but they got ruined in a flood!
Being that I'm 40...I know what you mean. I-personally, think that it's sad that hip hop has become what it is. I understand that things change with time but have you really taken a good listening to hip hop these days? It's a bunch of mindless beats and lyrics that only talks about money and sex and every rap video is usually two rappers in front of the camera with a crowd of people jumping up and down behind them or close ups of some girl with a big ass. I miss the old school............
The year was 1985 and New York was on fire!!!!! Originality still reigned supreme and each rap act had a reason for being in the studio and putting out material worth listening to. This era hip hop is gone forever but those of us in certain age group and from any one of the 5 boroughs can attest to how fly New York was and how cool it was to come from the birthplace of the "real" hip hop. All you jokers grabbing the mic with nothing to say, please sit down and shut the fuck up!!!!!!! Word!!!
Grand Master Flash & the Furious 5 had this dope jam... with the zodiac signs (I 4got the name of that jam) and Freedom get up and dance & Super Rappin & many more.
This was the jam back in da days & remember Roxy's... they always played this jam there. Grand Master Flash & the Furious 5 had many jams starting in the late 70's... awesome jams
You can't say you love Hip Hop and don't know about Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5. You just can't . And I mean past the Message or White Lies. Most people think that's all they had and they Had so much more!!! Like this for instance.
I was always amazed at 4:08 Flash scratched "Aint no half Steppin" backwards, Step step step step step step step step..Half half half half..no no no no..aint aint aint aint...Yo this was 24 years ago when nobody else was doin this kinda sh*t Flash was always innovating thats why he's the best ever beside the fact that he invented cuttin and scratching, and when Jazzy Jeff and the younger Cats came he still stayed right at the top for a looong time.
Im glad you got the picture of Melle Mel Dannt Dan,(Kid creole) Raheim,Cowboy and Scorpio(Mr Ness) Cuz this is my fav Group def deserve to be in the R&R Hall of Fame. I loved the track but I was a lil sad cuz during this time they had broke up Mel took Cowboy and Scorp with him and added King Lou Clayton Savage and Vicious Lee was their DJ while Flash took Creole & Raheim and added Lavon. They took a shot at Mel & them "instead of steppin off you might can step on" I aint like the static.
I was in 2nd grade when this came out. It was the first time I've seen a whole crowd go crazy at once. The white boyz all did windmills. The first time I was like "WTF" lol
BACK THE DAY I WAS LIKE 9,,aND ALL THE BIG DAWG REAL ol school playas (r.i.p) jim carle boston and all the corbet crew boston, i searched this searched for a year not knowing who sang it but i always remembered the boogaloo bad ass hook.the definition of writing and producing a lasting memory with family to recall on..thankyou for putting this out there with tears in my eyes..(money thankyou!!!!
They used to play this on Majic 108, back in the Lou! And if you where a rapper back in the day, you had to freestyle over this beat! Brings back so many memories and battles! Peace!
ok, it's been a long time and I never had a pair of the glasses myself, real or fake. I was a poor boy but I had the shells, the boombox, a few moves and the cardboard.
I hear u Jimmy, I didn't have to wear glasses either, my sister rocked Cazal's cause she felt like it she needed them for reading. LOL. But I was always rocking fresh gear and breaking out the cardboard box too...LOL
that was cool blast from the past but that wasn't the furious 5, that was "Grandmaster Flash" ONLY. That time Melle Mel wasn't in the group and he took the furious 5 with him.
Now that's that shit!!!! Been trying to find this for so many years! Thanks for the post. Taking me way back to the cardboard and linoluem days, carrying baby powder just to make sure we slide more. Oh yeah, and Hip Hop had absolutely NO FORMULA! Just heart and desire, now that's ART!!!
I saw Grand Master Flash and The Furious Five back at the old Charlotte, NC Coliseum perform this jam. Larry had on a red boxer type cape doing his thing. Those where the days!
OMG!!! This track brought tears to my eyes. I haven't heard this cut in over 15 yrs. Please help a sistah out, where can I purchase this six minute track? Any leads will be greatly appreciated.
damn i remember when i was a teenager wanting to get older to pump this in a car and now i wish i was a teenager to live back all those good days! lol
the first time I heard this it was a bootleg tape from New York City...the cassette tape itself had weird tags on it! loved it! great stuff ...early 80's
now thats real hip hop 2 turntables and a microphone along with a drum machine,that took skill not that computer generated shit they have today keep it real bro thats real hip hop peace!!!

"When he glides across the floor it's like he's walking on air. As smooth as a modern-day Fred Astaire." Always liked that line. lol

that was cool blast from the past but that wasn't the furious 5, that was "Grandmaster Flash" ONLY. That time Melle Mel wasn't in the group and he took the furious 5 with him.

This is a definite 5 posting. I had this on vinyl, and played it to death. (I think this was released by Elektra?)
Anyway, thanks for uploading this, Hiphopdontstop.

I saw Grand Master Flash and The Furious Five back at the old Charlotte, NC Coliseum perform this jam. Larry had on a red boxer type cape doing his thing. Those where the days!
