Well, I don't know the U.S., let alone New York, but I thought the distances were crazy there, just in that city ... So : from borough to borough ?! Your uncle was a warrior !!!
@@ezed45 It was an end of an era. You would really only hear songs like this after midnight on fridays on the Mr. Magic Mike show (NYC) or an extended remix of it. TBH, it wasn't my cup of tea although I respected the artform. When Eric B. & Rakim, Public Enemy and EPMD hit the scene, that's when rap caught my attention!! Thats when I started memorizing lyrics by heart!!!!
Them & Full Force & yes Full Force was just as old school as GM&FF. They had done production on several Kurtis Blow track before producing hits for UTFO, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Real Roxanne, etc.
What about Ice Cube? He started out in 86 and rocking Jheri Curls, keeping them until after he left NWA in 91. There were others as well, such as Rappin 4 Tay from the Bay Area and more.
I'm telling you the truth they from straight off the streets in New York with nothing and look what they do these dudes are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame look it up
Never even knew there was a video to this, they never played any hiphop videos back in the day in the UK. Would have loved to have seen this when it was new.
Oh, shit! Haven't seen this video since the days of New York Hot Tracks(ABC-TV Channel 7), Video Music Box(WNYC-TV PBS Channel 31), and U 68(WWHT-TV Channel 68). Now those were the days to watch music videos.
This is after the Furious was was already broken up. They were going simply by the name "Grandmaster Flash", not "Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five", thus the chorus heard in this song.

When they split Mel took Cowboy Clayton Savage Tommy Gunn and Easy Mikeand Scorp. While Ra and Cree went with Flash along with Kevin Lavon, Mr Broadway and Larry Love...
yea, but Clayton Savage, Tommy Gunn, Easy Mike, Kevin Lavon, Mr. Broadway, and Larry Love were not in the original group.... they were brand new after the split.
Yep! Mel and Scorpio stuck together and formed Grandmaster Melle Mel and the Furious Give with three other rappers and DJ. They had an album that came out right after they broke up with “White Lines” as the main single.
the artists of today try to copy this era's style tbh if this had the push from the label this song would have been bigger. but it had it's little run, it's definitely one of their top songs, even with mel cowboy and socprio not involved
Wow ! Seriously, I didn't know that rappers were already wearing that thing like the Kidd Creole has on his head; back in 1986 ! ... (I actually thought it was a fashion stuff which came out only with the decade following that one ...) *This being said, I think that this one will never beat ''New York, New York'' - which is their best in my opinion, even better than ''The Message'' - however, it remains correct to listen to; and the clip is quite O.K. (reminds you how your city of New York is sordid and grimy, guys ... Am I lying ?). I think that, anyways, they never had the pretention to do better than ''The Message'' and ''New York, New York''; especially since most of the original guys were no longer in this line-up of 1986. Well, ''Cow-Boy'' is no longer there since '89, and even though the Kidd Creole was set free one day (which is - alas - unlikely), it will never be again like their hay day ... (remains the records and the archives)
@@steeltownbrown52 So ... One can kill somebody, and get away with it, according to you ... ?! Wow, we definitely live in a fuckin' scary world, with crazy, scary people !!!
Yes New York rocked Jehrri Curls! Lmao not just L.A.!!! 85/86 was the cut off though! S/O Kid Creole with the doo rag ( Skirt out ) & Flash with the shower cap!!! 😅
Ah ! the Jheri curl ... probably the most horrible hairstyle ever ! Eddie Murphy did well making fun of it, back in his 1988 film ... That thing was truly disgusting !!!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS WAS THE REAL ERA OF REAL HIPHOP 1980s THIS HIPHOP OF TODAY'S ERA IS PATHETIC AND PURE GARBAGE AND NOT REAL HIPHOP DJ GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE ORIGINAL FURIOUS 5 1970s and 80s THE ERA OF REAL HIPHOP FOREVER
@@jonathanvillalobos7994 It was meant to be a joke. Everyone and their pet was talking eminem this eminem that. To the point it was driving me MAD as i find eminem annoying. 🙂
to be real.. this got pretty corny compared to the message, on the wheels of steel etc. i mean for 86? respect to the Grandmaster, of course.. but this wasn't on.
"compared to the message" Yeah, well you can't simply improve on perfection. Most rap songs of ANY era are going to sound like trash compared to that joint. IMHO this was far from corny though simply based on the presence of cuts and scratches and several MCs rockin the mic.
Scorpio will forevermore be my jam, Furious Five lit, they did something immortal ..music❣
This is the real deal man, These guys laid it down and the youngsters messed it up . . .
I used to worship these guys back in the 80s (Y)
They all remind me of my uncle carrying me on my shoulders from borough to borough. No lie, non stop.
Well, I don't know the U.S., let alone New York, but I thought the distances were crazy there, just in that city ... So : from borough to borough ?! Your uncle was a warrior !!!
Respect 👌🏾
THIS SONG IS DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes
yes a 100 %percent dopey
Probably the last of the old style before that Golden era kicked in
It was, this style was getting dated then.

True but don't forget Kurt's Blow one of the last of the "older style" sound too before then by '85-'86
DAMN NEVER HEARD THIS....... WHOA🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
86 and only old school dudes was still rockin Jheri Curls.
Them & Full Force & yes Full Force was just as old school as GM&FF. They had done production on several Kurtis Blow track before producing hits for UTFO, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Real Roxanne, etc.

@@TheKidyoung24 I was specifically talking about New York
@JUSLOFI my bad bro...no way of me knowing
*Our young uncles of rap Lol they are still kinda young*
Kid Creole sounds just like his brother Melle Mel....it's uncanny.Both those brothers are masters on the mic too!!!
*Ol' skool crushes gangster rap. because they have style*
The best of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@shewatchchannelzero7695 I was just saying who was down with what side when they split...
Odd because Kidd Creole and Melly Mel are brothers.
@@lezlethal that said, there was a rift between them.
Thank God LL Cool J came through :))) Even back then I wasn't feeling that rap flow.... but the breaks in the beat got swiped and used big time.
ah Ll cool j in love with himself!.

SOUTH BX!
Yeah this when I was coming up like I said the beginning rap music
Loved it it was on Electro 14 had all the Electro albums up to 14
It was on Electro 13 not 14
Mr broadway replaced cowboy when he died the one with the blue georgetown jacket in this video
REAL LIFE cowboy was never a member of Grandmaster Flash,he was and always will be a member of the furious five(and he died in 89 not 86)
I love you
some of the music from this song was from an only 1980's VIDEO GAME called - "SPY HUNTER"
Bryant Mungo Peter gunn
with shower cap style?! o_O :D :D
But it's not the furious five,the only members of the furious 5 here are Rahiem and Kidd creole,The name of this group is Grandmaster Flash.
Did you know when they first started they were more commonly known as the Furious 4?
@@donscabin8105 Yes I did!
Yep! Mel and Scorpio stuck together and formed Grandmaster Melle Mel and the Furious Give with three other rappers and DJ. They had an album that came out right after they broke up with “White Lines” as the main single.

It's called a durag it goes back to the 70s maybe the late 60s and might've started from the jail dudes
I prefer the extended remix but the video is always raw too.
Free kid Creole
