At the time, flash and some of the f-5 members didn’t want to release the song, so Melle Mel and duke bootee were the only ones to rap on it. if you like hip hop, and you haven’t heard this song, you are not a true hip hop fan. “Don’t push me ’cause I’m close to the edge, I’m trying not to lose my head, its like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under” After this was released, rap wasn’t just about having a good time anymore, it also was about reality and life. The Message- This is what started it all. you decide the winner.ĥ- It’s Nasty- This song has a great background. In this rap the Furious 5 battle the Sugar Hill gang. It was supposed to reenact the mc battles from back in the day. Showdown- this jam was inspired by the creator of new kids on the block.
#GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE YOU ARE FULL#
it is not the full length version on this cd. Birthday party- this song is similar to freedom. “we don’t care if your age is ten, or if your a senior citizen,” that line there told me it was far from any hip hop these days.ģ. When I heard it I was dazzled by their rhymes and the fact that they were talking about having fun, not gangbanging or anything. Freedom- I’ll have to say that this is probably my all time favorite songs by flash and the furious five. Kinda weird at the start, but then it gets good.Ģ. Step off Megamix- This is a megamix of Melle Mel’s greatest hit songs packed into one song. I wish hip hop was still like the music on this album today. It showed me what true hip hop was all about and what its true meaning was in the beginning. I took it home and listened to it as soon as I could. shortly after that, I went and bought the only Grandmaster Flash cd there was at a store. I couldn’t keep my eyes away from the screen. They were doing a special on hip hop, and then the video, “the message” came on. It all started about 2 years ago when I was at my friends house, and we were watching MTV. I am only 13 years old, and this is one of the main things that got me interested in old school hip hop. This is one of my favorite hip hop compilations ever.
