	DJ Grandmaster Flash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The classic "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel," released in 1981 was the best display of their skills (combing elements of Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" and Chic's "Good Times"), but it was their least successful single at the time.
		Flash sued Sugar Hill in 1983 over the non-payment of royalties, and in 1984 the group split between Flash and Mel before disintegrating entirely.

		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.

	TrouserPress.com :: Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
		Although Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were not rap's first stars, the group's galvanizing 1982 hit "The Message" was the earliest record to demonstrate the form's potential for socio-political commentary and, preceding Run — DMC, initially served to convey rap's excitement to an audience beyond urban fls.
		Unfortunately, most of Flash's early raps were of the let's-party-and-tell-our-zodiac-signs variety, with absolutely no consciousness, political or otherwise — good for dancing, but not very stimulating.
		When members of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five — specifically Mele-Mel (new spelling), Scorpio and Cowboy — reunited, the result was the distinctly superior On the Strength.

	Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message
		"The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five is a bonafide classic and should be considered a valuable collectors item.
		The remaining two tracks were non-traditional rap fare… "Scorpio", the instrumental, which later became the track used for a sequel to "The Message" called "Survival"; and the album's lead off track, "She's Fresh" which was uncharacteristically up tempo and again, had the group singing as well as rapping.
		Melle Mel dominated most of the songs after this album; the exceptions being "Flash To The Beat" and "Internationally Known", both of which relied more heavily on Rahiem…the sad truth is the Furious 5 was never the same after this album.

		You ought to know, really, but Grandmaster Flash is a pioneer of the turntables.
		Flash worked with a group known famously as the furious five and the lyrics are hard to follow as its rapping rather than singing.
		That being said, many of the lyrics on the old stuff are quite cheerful, 'Showdown', for example, is about the rap war between the Furious Five and the Sugarhill Gang.

		This collection charts Flash's many highs, from "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel" to "Scorpio", "White Lines" to "The Message"; but at 37 tracks, there's plenty of room for Flash's lesser-known works, only some of which are of more than archival interest.
