Grandmaster flash, thank you so much for taking us back in time to the place in our mind when hip hop was on your mind the majority of the time. Hip hop Bx for life.
Flash is like fine wine: He gets Better with age. He's embraced the evolving technologies and uses them as tools to continue building his arsenal of mad skills... therefore he will always be on top of his game no matter how he's doing things these days. All my respects to Flash and all the old-school DJs out there who Know how to Roll with da Flow. :D
This guy literally invented DJing as we know it.....he invented the slip mat.....he invented the cross fader.....and he invented the art of scratching.....And he is quick to commend people like Jazzy Jeff that do it better than he does....a living legend and class act.
He definitely did not invent the crossfader, it already existed. Besides all of what you have mentioned, he also invented the cue system. Besides that I agree with you man!
@@woodywoodrin8588 check out Hot97 Grandmaster Flash explaining the theory of DJing. He said that he took a double action single pull switch to allow him to extend the drum break. Who do you say invented it? If he's lying I want to know. Maybe I heard wrong I will watch it again myself. It's on RUclips. And thanks for being respectful. Too many people don't understand that you can have an exchange of differing opinions in a respectful way. CHEERS! I await your reply...from one hip hop head to another.
@@peteantonio1601 hi Pete I would check your hip hop history. Herc did not invent the scratch. Herc was the first to mix 2 records together but theodore was the first to invent scratch .
THE ONLY REASON why we have djs still around is because of this dude... its the only reason why im still a dj after some 25 years later . Id love to see him live even to be blessed to do a set with him...THE REAL Dj Phanatik
Flash was the realest of them all especially back in the days a real dj with fast cuts in crazy skills salute to the greatest in still nice thank you brother flash God bless you
I can remember the Latin Quarters rocking this all night long this man is truly legendary to hip hop without this man the culture would missed out on a huge part of it. MUCH RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lord of the turntables, the master of crash, is the one's lord master with three turntables and the best Dj in entire world is my brother Grandmaster Flash's and he still rocking the master of the destruction I love you brother and God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, I still have 3 coffins full of vinyl. Beat matching, keeping the beats per minutes in sync, and knowing the position of each record where the breaks, pauses, other stuff is a lot harder than punching two songs on a laptop and have the software do the work for ya ! :D
homeboy.... killed it back in the day and every day..... damn i miss those days growing up in Nyc.... boogie down... breakin.... chillin... groovin.... poping... spinning.... everything was "fresh" and "dope"....... never forget the best days of my life.....
Dj St3rling even though there's mistakes here and there, this brings back so many memories. Real talk, I remember when Grandmaster Flash and the furious five, Charlie Chase, Grand Master Caz and others came to Cali when I was stationed at Fort Irwin back in the 80s. I really wanted to battle Flash back then, not as a disrespect, but as a pupil who came up under him, wanting to pay homage. Back then when we battled it wasn't about disrespect, at least not ask the time. I've krewed up with some of the katz I battled. Yea, those were the days. Flash is having fun, and he's getting some rightfully deserved cash, because back then they weren't paying like they are today, so I'm glad to see the PIONEERS getting a piece of the pie. Real talk.
Thank you God for letting me grow up in the Bronx and witness how hip hop was created its crazy how much talent the black man and woman have .. its not crazy it's real
Tha man who single handedly changed music forever and created a genre that is now unstoppable all over tha world....

Dam the penny on the needle!!!!! I use to see Flash live in Harlem, I would be 5 feet away watching him rock, and he use to kill it. this gave me goose bumps!
"Flash is the Best" I just finished educating my kids that are in their teens about The GREAT Grandmaster flash and what he created and how these rich rappers should be cutting him a check man for helping create the greatest musical art form of our time. #Real talk New York.
This is djspazyb from Peoria Illinois but moved to Clearwater Florida 7 years ago and just found out you are coming too Largo Florida art center on February 7 2020 and would love to go but I got to work my 3rd shift wish it was either Saturday or Sunday ty one of my best djs in the world
hell, dopest ever...just watched BBC Once Upon a Time in New York and ended up here, also spended alot time with my vinyl collection after the get down=D
Glad you sent me this video and I found you on the tube, I will be checking in a lot more often, maybe we can do an exclusive on BlackTree TV!!, lets make it happen. Peace, Love and vinyl.....
Turntables have always intrigued me. I was a kid in the 80's and my family listened to rock music. I only saw people playing turntables on tv, and my dad would kill me if I tried to recreated that with his albums. Cut to adulthood, and I can play guitar and bass, keep a beat on drums, fumble my way around a keyboard, but never learned how to play turntables. Every time I see a DJ now a days, they have and ILM worth of computer equipment, and two faux-turntables. It's really interesting to see just how much goes into playing with a basic mixer and using two actual records at the same time. I kind of want to buy an old school set up like that and see what I can come up with.
THAT'S WHY A DJ TODAY, DOESN'T REALLY NEED TO BE CALL, A DJ. THIS IS WHAT A DJ IS ALL ABOUT. REAL THING, NOT FAKE, NOT DOWNLOADING FROM INTERNET, RUclips, AND ESPECIALLY, NOT COPYING OTHERS MUSICS, CUTTING NUMBERS, ALBUMS, SONGS, ETC, ETC..... THE WORST PART IS THAT THEY GET RECOGNITIONS, CAUSE THEY WORK AT CERTAIN RADIOS STATIONS. I'M A DJ FROM OLD SCHOOL AND I LEARN FROM OTHERS, CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO, BACK THEN. NOW, IT'S A COMPETITION OF WHO YOU KNOW TO GET YOU ON A RADIO STATIONS, GIG OR EVERYWHERE. SAD PART IS, THEY CAN'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, NEVER. UNLESS THEY COPY, SOMEBODY. NOT TO MANY ORIGINAL. SOMEBODY ASK ME FOR A TRIAL TO SEE AND THEY WANT ME TO BRING, ALL ORIGINAL MUSIC THAT I TRY TO GET ON ORIGINAL CD'S, SO THEY CAN RECORD THEM. I TOLD THEM: "YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR MY COLLECTIONS. I TOLD THEM, YOU EVEN HAVE SOME CD'S THAT I RECORD FOR A FRIEND AND YOU RECORD THAT, FROM HIM. THAT'S THE REASON THAT I DON'T COPY TO NOBODY, MY COLLECTIONS.
I DJ'd in the 90's. I bought all my vinyl dirt cheap and the new stuff was reasonable to purchase. I was also in a record pool. I amassed roughly 20,000 records and have shelves covering a couple walls. A crate of records is no joke heavy and I would bring at least 4-5 every gig. Add in two 1200s in flight cases, your mixer and forget it. Some places had their own set up and I'd just bring needles. I miss those days and I'm retired from DJing.
Great job granmaster flash. Old school dee jayin in the Bronx. Grandmaster flash did his thing. It's a lots of fun. The crossfider is very useful. dee jay have lots of fun.Vinyl records is still the way. Cd's is too.
The Difference in my opinion is.... Rap is UnStructured Words Wrapped in A loop. mostly untalented People.. hip-hop is a underground Movement made main stream . by record labels such as Legendary Def Jam And Arista hip hop tells stories and is articulate writing told with a Rhyme and ........
The truth right here..The man literally gave BIRTH to all you Mixtape DJS ...loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL... Deserves Respect. Main reason I spin..Thanks Big Brah

Thats insane
The greatest of them all. He set the standard for a cut master and his ability to keep the beat moving from one song to the next is unmatched.
