Flash and other founding fathers of hip hop should be recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing so many people together in such a deep and fundamental way. They tapped into the beat inside of all of us, regardless of skin, and provided a means to express it. Bringing a unity that can never be quantified.

His wisdom, mentality, and love of the art are the values that I try to follow. Listen to the Grand Master when he speaks of being a legend in your own mind vs being a legend for the people.

Absolutely. I was young as hell, about 13-14 years old, so I wasn't drinking and smoking like the older kids. But the block parties were insane. You could see a cloud of smoke over the small area that surrounded the DJ, all the time. Everyone would be dancing, drinking and smoking. This jams didn't last long though, because the cops would break them up. The cops would sometimes sit along side for a while before breaking things up. The music was amazing, and I heard music during that time that never left the city, I'd never hear it again anywhere else. The closest movie I've seen about growing up in the city is The Get Down, which is what I believe Flash is promoting in this video.

+Kurde DAM - it was brother, the city was stressful but somehow, we made the best of it. My moms saved her kids by moving to South Florida, as we were headed in the wrong direction. Florida was a culture shock. Hip Hop hadn't made it there yet. Check out the Get Down on Netflix, it's the closest I've ever seen a film made about the culture, Peace.

Rique Rod Yeah i watched it, i immediately wanted to know more about the beginning of Hip Hop, and the culture in the Bronx in the 70s. Seriously, even if there was crime, gangs etc.., this culture is so fascinating and we want to know how afro-americans and latinos lived in here against social discrimination and racism, and music was like the solution. Damn dude, The Get Down made me think a lot about it. Thank you for sharing your experience in the Bronx. And as Africa Bambaataa said : Peace, unity, love and havin' fun :D

Some people are hating saying he is talking about himself even tho the video is about him lol. He gives credit. However, he even said in the beginning that he approached DJaying like math. Yea there were many D jays before him but he approached DJaying in a much different way which is why he is recognized for all of this. There were many rappers before Eminem, but not many rappers approached "rhyming skills" the way Eminem did. You don't have to be the first to do something in order to be considered the greatest at it or a pioneer.
