[@fullclip1974]

Damn...after hearing the whole 1,2 and 3 part of this...I brought out all my breaks that I didn't cut in years,dusted off my 1200's and got the cuttin'. We love you flash...hip hop at it's best stage..... The Beginning!!!!!

[@abaldbrotha1965]

The beats nobody ever knew. Flash was and is the greatest.

[@Pirate7X]

Kid Creole is the king of Sooouuul! He rocked this jawn hard! One of the most underrated ever.

[@jonathanvillalobos7994]

+Pirate7X You know Kidd Creole is locked up? I always thought Kidd Creole was a dope m.c.! on my top five list! Free kidd creole!!

Classic hip hop throwdown , miss those good days in the park

[@davidcheung7789]

So do I. Very, very much!

[@aparkinson1980]

Recordings like this should be stored and protected somewhere - they're not only great to hear, but they're massively important documents in the history of popular music

[@prie71]

I like these old live recordings even more, than their 80s studio albums. This is hiphop at its best. Alive and kickin!

[@noprocrastination]

Flash was rippin the wax off of Let's Dance!!! FUNKYFUNKYFUNKYFUNKYFUNKY!!!!

[@thetbird9856]

this should have more views

[@action220]

nobody was killing it in the early years like flash I remember being in the reni harlem when flash introduced the beat box with the crew saying I wanna hear the beat box I swear I witnessed pure genius masterdon had a better beat box but guess what flash was first trendsetter

[@alexanderisaac5842]

Oh no we had funky 4 plus more don't forget bam

[@DJB635]

This real hip hop dont stop......Priceless!

[@Pirate7X]

You are right about him being a pillar which Hip Hop stands on. Fortunately this is well-documented One correction: Grandmaster Flash not only an INNOVATOR & CREATOR, but was actually the BEST DJ in HIP HOP for several years. Before "turntablism" was started, he was quick cutting, echo scratching, fast-cueing, etc. before most these DJ's were born. GMF was famous destroying comp in 70's. In the early 80's Philly masters like Jazzy Jeff, Ca$h Money & Miz ruled then it spread worldwide.

[@Fam4ever127]

I can't ✋stop!Hip hop and u don't! History already made 1978 was great!

[@DJLordShango]

This is from 1978 and it sounds so dope 😂😂🤣😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JovonTLC]

The Place: South Bronx. The Year(s) 1974 - 1979. Hip Hop was new, fun and spreading like a wild fire throughout the Bronx. There were also others just as good as Flash and The Furious 4 (if not better) that some never heard of because they put their mic down by 1979. Crews like The Imperial D.J. Jay Cee and his Fabulous 4 MC's (Eddie Ed, Sony.B, Little D and Zack Zack) who were the top dogs in the highbridge section of the Bronx before Jay Cee joined Kool Herc.

[@boogiedownbronx73]

I've heard recordings as far back to 1978 but still waiting for someone to share recordings before 78...anyone????

[@jan453]

Please share it with me! Would like to hear more of this 70s Hip Hop. Sounds extremely good!

[@Gunnercv]

wow, this is the real

[@Wendelicious101]

Oh the days when hip hop was hip hop. Flash was my idol and I can remember the first time I seen him at the Stardust Ballroom in the boogie down bronx. He showed up in blue and red tights and a cape, I thought this guy must be on some serious shit and he was, he started off with (I cant stop) and and ended with (Supersperm) I was hooked after that. God Bless GM Flash!!!

[@davidcheung7789]

You'd better believe it baby! I absolutely despise Hip Hop after 1993. How it's 50 years old beats the hell out of me.

[@martynpank]

PS- I have heard alot of Rappers in my time & I could list many great MC's, But, Melle Mel has done some of the best! Esp- The Truth. One of my fave raps! As we say in England- He is the 'Dog's Bollocks'!!!!!!!!

[@martynpank]

Thank Heavens for the pioneers!

[@Pirate7X]

Please pass on big props to Herc from the Zulu Nation Chapter ATL. My understanding is Herc was the pioneer who brought people together with live DJ selecting as was done in his home of Jamaica with ska-rocksteady-reggae tunes. Flash continued the breakbeats back to back. For info about the masters of DJing, check the film SCRATCH.

The foundation

[@noprocrastination]

No one duz it better! My Mellow!

[@JovonTLC]

But my hat goes off to Flash & The Furious 4/5 MCs those muthafukas kept going strong, kept on pushing into their adult years and it paid off. They most definitely helped push hip hop to where it needed to be. Hall of famers, they deserve it.

[@tyroneevans8937]

I want to give a shout out to GMF & THE F5 and I want to say what's up wit'cha Ez Mike this is Boe Dean cuzin Tyrone how is life treating you?

[@eslubin]

@Wendelicious101 great story. too bad there is no film footage

[@martynpank]

Pirate7X . Checked out Kool Herc from 1973!!!!!!!!!! But Flash brought it to the front, that is no diss to Herc. I don't think Flash is technically the best DJ, but Hell, he introduced us to Hip Hop!

[@vf114doc]

he did say he was Keith Cowboy.

[@Pirate7X]

Truth Marty, they all founded it.

[@creamwave]

oh yes ! ...and ya don't stop

[@thomasgregg3448]

stupid dope rhymes, the kids today cant imagine the club scene back then.

[@martynpank]

Flash will never be the best DJ, but Christ he was there at the start, & we owe him so much! No Flash, No Hip Hop!

[@noprocrastination]

Yeah Mad Propz to DJ E-Z MIKE...Do you have anything out there on KZbin I can check out?

[@eligorham2251]

What's the beat at the very beginning that shit is fire.

[@martynpank]

@eslubin Thanks Bud! But what does- "a dj who cuts clean on the fly." Mean? Help! - I'm English. LOL! Also, I'm sure Herc was mixing in the early seventies! This must be a cool thing? Hey, I am not hear to argue. I just wanna learn from my US cousins!

[@martynpank]

@eslubin F. Me, Man! You are so right! But, do you think Herc was also part of the infancy of Hip Hop? PS. I could listen to this thread forever!!!!

[@eslubin]

Does anyone have a clean copy of this tape? The one circulating on the internet is dubbed from the same copy

[@ernestlmt]

whats the name of the song where the last sample in the track came from?

[@MattmanKey84]

Hip Hop goes way back than 79' dude! Kool Herc created this in Jamaica back in the mid 1960s by creating Reaggae breakbeats. When he came to America in the 70s, he began making Funk and Disco breakbeats.

[@trevordavidh1154]

except you're wrong. whatever it was that Herrc created, it was not THIS.

[@MattmanKey84]

@@trevordavidh1154 Then who would you say created it? Grand Master Flowers? DJ Tanguray?

[@trevordavidh1154]

@@MattmanKey84 herc was a DJ who played records-he had a great system, held great parties, and played some obscure breakbeats and afrobeat--he also had the first proto emcees with him. That is his legacy. Period.

[@MattmanKey84]

@@trevordavidh1154 you just said the magic word, "breakbeat". I rest my case and you just proved my point.
