Grandmaster Flash Rocks The Bells (Original Audio)

Grandmaster Flash's famous kitchen routine from Wild Style. This is the original audio clip with Flash cutting up the "Mardi Gras" break. It was overdubbed with a rerecording in later releases of the film, as Bob James didn't clear the sample.

@mikey32666 thats not a jerk move, thats a breakin move. that move was a common transition into floorwork back in the early 80's

@acdegrees421 I don't think it was Bob James' decision. There are two songs that Flash is cutting on the scene; the first one is "God Made Me Funky" by Head Hunters, the second break is, of course, Bob James' "Mardi Gras", but it is Paul Simon's song. Both breaks were replaced on the Wild Style DVD, so we don't really know whether it was Bob James who refused to clear it. But Bob James seems to have allow a lot of artists to use his recordings, so I wouldn't assume it was Bob's fault.
