Grandmaster Flash - Original Kitchen Scene from Wild Style

In the late 90's, several companies obtained the rights to the movie Wild Style. Like most Hip-Hop heads, both young and old, I bought a DVD copy. When the movie got to my favorite scene, GMF rockin' the 1s and 2s in his kitchen, I was disappointed to find that the Bob James audio had been replaced by some wack beat. I mentioned it extensively on internet forums, but no one knew what I was talking about. Well, here it is. This is from a 1987 VHS tape where I recorded Wild Style on Night Flight, a cable show that ran B-rated movies.

I had the album, vhs and dvd.. by the time it came out on DVD, Bob James wasnt paid for the use of Take Me to The Mardi Gras... they had to use that wack beat to cover that scene... I remember watching that iconic scene often!!

Yeah it sucks because this is a historical moment in Hip-Hop. Now Bob James acts like he supports Hip-Hop because he makes money off it, but won’t license it for the most iconic Hip-Hop movie.

I hate the fact that they took out “The Mardi Gras” from this Mix. Bob James wanted to get paid for his record being in that mix. If it was’nt for grandmaster flash mixing in his record in this scene his music wouldn’t be as popular as it is now. If some of you guys don’t know what I’m talking about find this same mix on KZbin or on the original VHS cassette of “wild style” and you Will notice that the second record is not the same as it is here. Or you can go to my channel and hear my cover of this mix. As a homage I redid this mix with the original beats and a few extra ones. And I properly named it “Kitchen mix”. Check it out it’s on my channel along with many other mixes such as this. DJ devil Los On the wheels of steel since 1983...

FOH Bob James... you just killed Hip-Hop history...

This is not the original scene. The original one did not have “recorded by Kramtomix” or whatever the fuck you put on it. if you’re going to put the original scene, put the original scene without your tag on it. That’s like looking at a whole car by Lee with a “MPC” throwup over it.

🤣 Come’on man, cut him some slack. All the rest of these folks lame out and leave the classic “Bells” version off their post 1:22.
