I LOVE IT,THIS WAS A TIME WHEN NYC WAS ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL. WE HAD OUR OWN STYLE,OUR OWN MUSIC AND WE FOLLOWED NO OTHER STATE. WE WERE TRULY THE EMPIRE STATE 🔥🔥🔥
GMF & the furious five bar none are the epitome of what hip hop once was.... Before the industry took control. Being a Bronx native I watched hip hop develop into movement as well as a culture. Salute to the innovators of a now million dollar business, my friends Grandmaster flash & the furious five. R.I.P. Keith (COWBOY)
@zaneverovati I'm 26yrs and I listen to Wayne and the artists of 2day but I never forget about the classic old school pioneers. This time of music was way better than the slave rap on the radio today!
This jawn remind of all the block parties I went to back in the day in the Mt. Airy section of Philly.........."can't, won't, don't stop rockin' to the rythm cause I get down".
This is when MC stood for Move the Crowd! Everybody was en pointe and had more funk, flair, and flow than a boatload of today's rappers. Thanks for uploading! peace&power
@trcysttt This is REAL HIP HOP. Pioneers of Hip Hop at it's best! I love this jam. I remember this jam so well I still got it on cassette believe or not. I love it. I was like 11 or 12 when this came out! Trcysttt MC doesn't cut it for these wack youngins nowadays, lol. We had da privelage 2 enjoy & live this music & enjoy all da elements of what REAL HIP HOP is about not what they want 2 put out there 2day! Thank u 24adrian24 for posting this great classic gem & my boy Port 4 sharing! 1 LOVE
Its good to hear young Kats like dynokar, Lukersss, dtrain and Rhotserlok are diggin the old school, now if we can get a few hundred more to listen we might bring back the goods in Hip Hop cuz unfortunatly the industry is strictly geared to our young generation and most of em dont respect the origins
This is definately one of the livest rap records ever recorded, it was right there in the beginning of hip hop, right after Curtis Blow recorded Rappin Blow or Christmas rap, then came this . We used to dance and grind all night for like 6 minutes or more at the outside partys. listeb to the guitar///
Tis is great music & a great time I met lots of girls at da Flash Jams ST Marys park etc. if it wasnt 4 these kats & da like Rap wouldnt B what it is 2day. A blast from da past & thats where it must sta. We grow up remembering our heroes & pitch em against 2days heroes. if these guys came bac & were 2 fall it will B a sad site 2C. So let em sta in da corners of our mind & pla their records when we want 2 visit dat special place in time. Congrats Hall of Fame inductees U guys truly deserve it
Awesome, but this is SuperRappin' No. 2 (the beginning starts off different), I had this record back in the day when it came out, along with the SuperRappin'. These were both hot. Thanks for posting!
T.J. Smooth here, I say dat dis music is da bowmb, MAYNE!! It makes me want to think about da anime Yu Yu Hakusho. I imagine Yusuke Urameshi and his friends rappin to dis cool hip hop.
@oldschoolbx1970 GR8 comment i can relate with you on that. I too drove family members crazy with tunes from back in the day...lol thanks for the clasSICK share..Peace..Port!
@playboymaxim Your are right B .It was good.I have alot of good memories and some bad ones too (lol). The music was great .I still remember at was at a party .When i heard scrathing for the first time .I was in love ! A year later I had Technics and crates .Sometimes the boys and I took the train with all my equipment to do basement parties .Even my kids know Sugarhill music word 4 word .(lol) Good days my bro .We were blessed to have been there and lived to tell about it .
@Profound03 As a matter of fact, THIS version was a re-release of the original version which was put out in 1979. The original version of this cut which you can find on youtube is probably the best. These boys made 5 mc's sound like one.
Yo, I know its been several months since you made this comment but I do remember, I believe it was on the corner, but if I am correct it was right next to that dept store Maze or mays, I remember seeing this fine female DJ spinning and I remember those Echo Chambers... Good Times
Thanks bruh... Are there any other tracks like this back from the late 70s? I know that most of the 'Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five' tracks don't even feature Flash, but I knonw he saw over production on this, and I love it. I'm looking for more tracks on par with this or "Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel." All suggestions are appreciated.
Real hip hop heads know. there were at least 5 breaks on the long version of this we used to get it in on. the take the train, cant wont dont stop, make ya money, hit it. ooh ahh, ooh ahh. ho, ho ,ho and more if you were fast enough
Gillbrere Malvo A freaking liar??? You mean to tell me you believe the sugar Hill gang is the foundation of rap??? And hip-hop??? Nobody in the Bronx ever heard of these cats! "The Sugar Hill gang" they weren't even in the same network!
Lord Nasty but atleast they made the very major steps to make hip hop a genre so don't say that rapper's delight ain't hip hop cause yes they are am a Bronx native too and in the late 70's that shit was bangin' everywhere east coast son
Profound03 how could u not know the first rap ever recorded was King Tim the Third, I remember that record on a 45, the flip side of that was a hit for them, I forgot the name, but we used to play it on the jukebox... Sugar Hills Rappers Delight was the first rap record that me and most people ever heard, unless ur from New York of course..
Chuck D is right, Hip Hop lost something with the move away from groups. Hearing the same dude go on and on gets tedious but I could listen to the Furious Five do this all day (btw the 11 minute version of this is great).
Mr Magic was the only who played the rap wktu or wbls didn't played .I always recorded Mr Magic show and blew up the handball courts the next day. I had my memorex and JVC . WORD
I'm confussed,. Did Soul Sonic Force come out before this song??? I just heard Melly Mel Say Hip hop. I thought Africa Bambada was the First one to say that???
this entire song was arranged and harmonized better than 80% of "all songs" today. im not talking about just rap. Take the train, take the train, take the train,take,take,take, the train. on the longer version you ..cant wont dont stop.take the train, make ya money, take the train,hit it. If you have to ask....Dont! Niggaz Know.
@jcarrasq20021 shyt i had this before it came out they used to record and then give it to cab drivers in the bronx and they would play and sell their shyt for a while before enjoy records and sugarhill records....i got mine from my cousin in Newark Nj long tyme ago.....and I am in Durham NC
@fabzam63 Tell it bro----Even when BLS gave Magic a show it was only for an hour! Don't forget the Supreme Team show and Afrika Islam, I wanna say the station was 105.9 back in the day, late at night like 1 in the morning.
haha..... it funny how styles changed , i'm sure grandmasteer flash won't be caught dead wearing those cloths today ...they look like the gangster village people back then :D.......but seriously there one of my favorite groups of back then .
Super Rapin my favorite throwback! I'm 59 years old and I can still spit! .... every word of this rap!
Lord Nasty what year you think hip hop started to decline as a whole.
Lord Nasty
I'm 53 and became a Dj because of this song!
me too them and The Treacherous 3 still got a tape or 2
my father was in this group keith cowboy. R.I.P.
Melle mel's flow was tight as hell! This man was way ahead of his peers.
I LOVE IT,THIS WAS A TIME WHEN NYC WAS ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL. WE HAD OUR OWN STYLE,OUR OWN MUSIC AND WE FOLLOWED NO OTHER STATE. WE WERE TRULY THE EMPIRE STATE 🔥🔥🔥

Wow brings back memories. I'll be listening to this about 5 times in a row.
This jawn remind of all the block parties I went to back in the day in the Mt. Airy section of Philly.........."can't, won't, don't stop rockin' to the rythm cause I get down".
This was the jam back in the day down in North Philly..Melle Mel is in my top 5 Mc's of all time..1Rakim..2 Chuck D..3 KRS1..4 Melle Mel..5 LL Cool J
Kool Moe Dee #5 areas of LL. Yes, Treacherous one...
even now it sounds sooo fresh!
those guys flow way better than most of so called mc's could do nowadays.
Cheers for hiphop roots
.
musica muito fluida, beat e flow surreal
Peerless harmony and unparalleled flow. This jam is unforgettable.
This is when MC stood for Move the Crowd! Everybody was en pointe and had more funk, flair, and flow than a boatload of today's rappers.
Thanks for uploading!
peace&power
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. The first Rap/Hip-Hop artist to have that honor.

Thank You for posting this song, haven't heard in a while!!!!!!
Love this song. I Makes me think about Old New york.
My first Rap record. Bought it at the Wiz downtown on fulton street.
oh my god, haven't heard this in like 8 years, wow this is one of the great ones. thank you.
This is one of the original rap groups that went on wax back in the days, cant duplicate the birth of old school rap
This is better than the stuff on the radio today!
Young ladies!....In my Mercedes!! I love dis joint!
This was the jam, one of first rap jams to play by Grand Master Flash & the Furious Five...pioneers of hip hop.
This is definately one of the livest rap records ever recorded, it was right there in the beginning of hip hop, right after Curtis Blow recorded Rappin Blow or Christmas rap, then came this .

Hey that's very cool how you tagged the names of the Furious Five. I've always wondered who was who. Thanks a million!!
This is real rap.........REAL RAP!!!!

All that and a bag of chip's, old skool fool! Listen and take the ride! The brick's that built the Rap Empire, all good and Fire!
Make five M'c's sound like one, you herd!
Even the old school hip hop/r&b stations don't play this kind of stuff. It's as if rap never existed before 1985.
@playboymaxim Your are right B .It was good.I have alot of good memories and some bad ones too (lol).

My favorite MC's of all time!
Wow these guys rapped their ass off 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Takes me back to Pickett middle school! G-Town stand up!
I know that baseline from a lot of rap songs from later. Keep it Alive!!!!
Yo, I know its been several months since you made this comment but I do remember, I believe it was on the corner, but if I am correct it was right next to that dept store Maze or mays, I remember seeing this fine female DJ spinning and I remember those Echo Chambers... Good Times
Schoolyard jam! Keep em coming.
The # 1 Rap record ever recorded, hands down next to Rappers delight.. All hip hop experts will agree!!
hell yeah
Right!, I used to grind all the girls up on this
Love the way Jazzy Jeff cut this classic up.
Bassline is tight!
New York City Dj In the house!
This whole joint is a gem.
Pure Funk with the best flow over it.
I not even was born when this came out but I feel it like I was born in this time
big up bobby robinson for seeing the future back on the day
Thanks bruh... Are there any other tracks like this back from the late 70s? I know that most of the 'Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five' tracks don't even feature Flash, but I knonw he saw over production on this, and I love it.

I love this song!!!
COME ON.....YOU GOTTA LOVE THIS.
J'ai juste grandi avec ce morceau , un grand merci au GrandMasterflash and the furious five
This is before they went to Sugarhill, I think they were on Enjoy at this time. It's a great song!!
oh yeah this shyt brings me to tears
Real hip hop heads know. there were at least 5 breaks on the long version of this we used to get it in on. the take the train, cant wont dont stop, make ya money, hit it. ooh ahh, ooh ahh. ho, ho ,ho and more if you were fast enough
I still have multiple copies on vinyl. This is rap period.
All the thumbs down people don't know shit !!! Pure fire .... No hip hop was ever better !!!
Genius of Rap.
It's like sometimes, any form of art start to stream like river of awesomness... This is one of such.
The sugar Hill gang got credit they did not deserve! They were not the foundation of rap or hip-hop.
Lord Nasty freaking lier that ain't ture fool
Gillbrere Malvo A freaking liar??? You mean to tell me you believe the sugar Hill gang is the foundation of rap??? And hip-hop??? Nobody in the Bronx ever heard of these cats! "The Sugar Hill gang" they weren't even in the same network!
Lord Nasty but atleast they made the very major steps to make hip hop a genre so don't say that rapper's delight ain't hip hop cause yes they are am a Bronx native too and in the late 70's that shit was bangin' everywhere east coast son
Sugarhill from the Bronx? Don't think so
Yo Sugar Hill Records was in Jersey.. They was put together cuz of what was poppin in the Bronx.. he ain't lying yo
Best of the best!
This sounds like Superrappin #2. I still have the 12 inch of the original Superrappin from 1979.
@CdotJonesy
The original beat that Flash interpolated on this song is the cleassic uptown break beat "7 Minutes Of Funk"...
@oldschoolbx1970 & u can't beat dat with a baseball bat... LOL... wow back in da days! I love it
Profound03 how could u not know the first rap ever recorded was King Tim the Third, I remember that record on a 45, the flip side of that was a hit for them, I forgot the name, but we used to play it on the jukebox... Sugar Hills Rappers Delight was the first rap record that me and most people ever heard, unless ur from New York of course..

T - Connection back in the Day where it all started !
The fact that you brought Eminem on this page show everyone you have no clue. Have a nice day.
This song is sill better the 98%of the rap songs out today.
Mr Magic was the only who played the rap wktu or wbls didn't played .I always recorded Mr Magic show and blew up the handball courts the next day. I had my memorex and JVC . WORD
That's right. When I attend real Hip Hop events in NYC,I see most youngsters from Japan and Europe attending.
this legendary
@24Adrian24 You are absolutely right not many people know that, King Tim III never got credit for being the first to put rap on the map.
Life was basic back then but the music more than made up for it.
EPMD sampled this on... It's My Thing? Anyway, what's the original sample from? This is such a tight groove.
40 years later still going hard
damn! it's funkin good
these kats were definetly before there time and the g.o.a.t well earn and deserverd
Have to give shout out to " The Whole Darn Family" Seven Minutes of Funk for the bass line !!! This is probably
@bfludd cowboy was your father? wasnt he the first person to come up with the term 'hiphop'?
I love the true hip hop.
I'm confussed,. Did Soul Sonic Force come out before this song??? I just heard Melly Mel Say Hip hop. I thought Africa Bambada was the First one to say that???

Don't forget the Supreme Team show and Afrika Islam, I wanna say the station was 105.9 back in the day, late at night like 1 in the morning.
