	A Brief History of Rap-Grandmaster Flash (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Saddler was the DJ of the group that he formed, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.
		Grandmaster Flash provided the rap genre a musical foundation by manipulating records on turntables, scratching them, and repeating certain instrumental sections, known as sampling.
		Flash's early raps were of the let's-party-and-tell-our-zodiac-signs variety with no consciousness, political or otherwise.

	Grandmaster Flash (Joseph Saddler)
		Grandmaster Flash (name Joseph Saddler) is credited by many popular cultural historians, as being the innovator who brought about the genres of both hip-hop and rap music.
		Grandmaster Flash- The music on this new record was extremely hard for me to come together because this is music that is from an era that is very large period of time and a very large body of work musically.
		Grandmaster Flash- Kraftwerk was a hip-hop record for me. At the hip-hop parties, the music on the albums by Kraftwerk was a way for me to take a brief break after playing twenty records in five minutes time or even two hundred records in twenty minutes time.

	MTV.com - Grandmaster Flash
		DJ Grandmaster Flash and his group the Furious Five were hip-hop's greatest innovators, transcending the genre's party-music origins to explore the full scope of its lyrical and sonic horizons.
		Flash was born Joseph Saddler in Barbados on January 1, 1958; he began spinning records as teen growing up in the Bronx, performing live at area dances and block parties.
		Flash and the Five's next effort, 1982's "The Message," was even more revelatory -- for the first time, hip-hop became a vehicle not merely for bragging and boasting but for trenchant social commentary, with Melle Mel delivering a blistering rap detailing the grim realities of life in the ghetto.

	Articles - Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five
		Flash recalls Herc embarrassing him because he didn't have the system (nor did anyone else at the time) that could compete with Herc's.
		Flash rapped and made the shout outs on his own at first, but he knew if he wanted to remain innovative and retain his flawless turntable technique he needed some help.
		In 1981, Flash released what is considered the most influential display of cutting and scratching ever recorded- "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel." On it he uses sections of "Rapture", "Good Times," "Another One Bites the Dust," and sections from some of their previous work.

		Jump-cutting like 10 crates of vinyl tickled by a Chic bass line, Grandmaster Flash's 1981 single "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel" wrote the laws of turntable physics for everyone from Jazzy Jeff to Cut Chemist.
		Flash has been untouchably cool ever since, even though he hasn't made a real record since 1988's best-forgotten On the Strength.
		But Flash kept the anthems coming -- from A Tribe Called Quest's "Award Tour" and Redman's "I'll Bee Dat" to enough Biggie Smalls to put a tear in anybody's eye -- until resistance was useless.

	Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five / Grandmaster Flash: The Message / They Said it Couldn't Be Done: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Everyone knows now how influential Grandmaster Flash was to the mechanics of DJing, with his invention and popularization of various mixing and scratching techniques.
		Sensing this, Flash steals a title and a sound with "Rock the House", which has guitars and a mid-tempo rock backbeat though none of the energy of the guys from Hollis.
		Flash would release a couple more records in the 80s without much success, and then he dropped off the radar, resurfacing periodically to play shows when given a boost by current DJs who understand his importance to hip-hop's development.

		He was the first to blend funky street records with smooth disco mixing techniques; he was the first to juggle beats from different records to form new rhythms, new melodies, new paradigms for music; he did the first scratching and the first continuous mixing; he may even have been the first to write a rhyme.

		This is a heroic piece of work by the record label, by the historians, by the permissions clearance staff, and, most of all, by Grandmaster Flash, the greatest DJ in the history of the world.

	LOST AND FOUND: Grandmaster Flash
		By then, Flash's influential turntable techniques had spawned a whole new musical culture — and rap as a genre was born.
		Flash never quite recovered from an acrimonious split with Melle Mel and spent most of the '90s laying low while succeeding generations took rap in a decidedly more nihilistic direction.
		Fortunately, Flash's old-school sound never lost its appeal — and earlier this year, Flash himself made a long-awaited return with a pair of releases, The Official Adventures of Grandmaster Flash and Essential Mix: Classic Edition, featuring a melange of new and reworked mixes and interviews.
