I started to DJ parties in ‘82 I was 15 years old. Grand Master Flash was an ICON to me!! I tried to imitate his scratches which was very difficult by the way. He was my inspiration for wanting to be a DJ. People would stand around watching me mix at parties and controlling the crowd felt like POWER to me! I was in control of the crowd! They reacted to what I played and how I mixed it! I loved it 😁 Good ol days
I wasn't there in the flesh but I grew up in Rochester NY and stayed tuned to the radio and my cousin always played tapes straight from NYC. They tried to kill disco cause we was taking ovvva. They tried to predict the demise of HIP HOP but you can't kill what won't die!! Every time we create something either They try to kill it or the Hispanics come trying to claim that they helped to created to. Please tell me something since you were right there...what anout Hip Hop did they help to create? Cause they sure as hell didn't help is with civil rights
The Bus King! I remember that name-lol Slam Rab Desire Drip Tron Len Love Lefty Roland Unit Kane NE5 Rush Mel Sure CD Cey Scop 2Nice Cer (RIP) OOP KC3...etc. Peace!
This came on the radio back in 81 and I had the good fortune of recording it on my "Maxell" cassette tape on an Emerson huge radio! That tape was a 90 minute tape which gave us 45 minutes of music on each side. I listened to this track on that radio every freakin day! Lol. Good times!!
This was "Live Performances" that was taped on Cassettes, then put on Wax later in the Years. "Rapper's Covention" volume collections..Hard to find Classics!!!
MC Jazzy a, did I just take the old school bus?? Wow, those were the best days ever. Growing up in N.Y.C (Bronx) going to the clubs in manhattan and the bronx. I had the best times ever. Thanks for the bus ride.
I was there and it definitely was fun, but you had to stay on your toes also, because many a person lost their sheepskin coat outside the club back then.
True Hip Hop. The Holy Grail of the rap game. When artists had God given talent and Creativity would blow your mind. D.j's was spinning for the crowd M.C was spitting clear rhymes loud. B-boys and B-girls doing their thing. Those are the days
I'm One of Many Hip Hop Babies. Born in 75,was living in the South Bronx 152 and Davis 81-82,6 years old I remember hearing "The Message" by Flash and The Furious 5 for the 1st time on the Radio,and fell in Love. Started Breaking,Tagging and Attempting to draw Graffiti. #HIPHOP4EVER🙌🏿👑💚🔥🔥🔥
The beginning of this tape was live at the celebrity club on 25th street in Harlem with Eman melemel Grand master Flash and Busy Bee Starski the second part with Mc Sha rock that was her and the funky four at the T connection disco on Gunhill rd in the bronx Dj kid islam old school zulu king peace
Are you here in N.Y.C?If so we had great times back in the days didn't have to worry about people acting crazy and shooting everybody for no reason like they do today
Peace DJ Drew Breeze, please post more classic MC SHA-ROCK this is priceless! Keep the Hip-Hop Movement and Culture Alive! We must teach and mentor the youth on the importance of knowing the fundamentals and foundation of Hip-Hop and honor and respect the founding pioneers in the culture. Peace, Eva Marie King, MS - South Bronx Born, South Jamaica Queens 4LIFE!
Super sexy smoothass lyrical genius rappers here just simply terrorizing the mike. That killer rhythm moves you way way better than these potato rappers today.
When I was young Sha-Rock along with Mr. Freeze of the Jazzy Five was among my favorite MC's. Other honorable female mentions would be Pebbly Poo of Master Don and The Def Committee and Lisa Lee of Zulu Nation's Cosmic Force and Soul Sonic Force.
wow that 's incredible that you still have this stuff iam glad that someone still has real hip hop. i hope you get a chance to post it up so others can enjoy it. thankyou for writing me and may you continue in your collection. may the lord bless you.
I remember this tape they used to sell from “oj” limousines and street sales. As a matter of fact the pitch is so fast from overdubbing the tape for sales 😅
Don't 4get, 3 Wisemen, Dizzy Hieghts, Junior G, Nutrament, Davy Crocket, Cyberman, Jive Junior, London All Star Breakers, Family Quest, Lady Mystry Mc, Emix, Dirty Harry, Cheeko, Dynamic Force, Sargent Rock, Capital Boys, London Rhyme Syndicate, Herbie, and the Mastermind funk sound, Cookie Crew, Cosmic Jam, Streets Ahead, Dj Fingaz, Dolby D, The Lisham Grove Posse, Dy Morph,The Demon Boyz,, plus all mcs from the reggae fast style chat scene-We rocked hard back in the days London style!
I give Grandmaster Flash his props! However, DJ. Grandmaster Flowers,(Jonathon Cameron Flowers) was a Disc Jockey from Brooklyn. He opened up for the Godfather of Soul, James Brown at Yankee Stadium in “1969.” Do your own Independent Investigation. Why is he never mentioned? As a young Disc Jockey in the game without any fame, I witness my first Disc Jockey back in 1975. A Latino brother name “Frankie” from Vernon Ave, between Lewis and Stuyvesant Ave. That’s Brooklyn, Bed-Stuy… P.E.A.C.E. = Perpetual Education Always Create Expansion!
Stop this myth about Flowers opening up for James Brown at Yankee Stadium. He was hired as a scab to just play intermission music between acts because the unionized engineers would not do it. He was not spinning with two turntables and a mixer. So stop all this B.S. myth and he was not billed as an act.
Your post made no point and has no connection to this video. Flowers is always mentioned as being a DJ pioneer and one of the top Disco DJ's in NYC but he wasn't a Hip Hop DJ. He wasn't doing what Flash, Theodore, Jazzy Jay, JC, and other Bronx DJ's were doing
you got any count coolout and superrhynes and barnaby bones aka jimmy spicer and maestro. or any red alert mixes with sparky dee or dimples dee, or peebllee poo, any mikey d. peacce

1977-1983 New York City, You just had to be there to understand how this "Hip-Hop" thing started !!!
I wasn't there in the flesh but I grew up in Rochester NY and stayed tuned to the radio and my cousin always played tapes straight from NYC. They tried to kill disco cause we was taking ovvva.

You said it had to be there.

Real hip hop. These so called rappers today would have been thrown out the park.
Yup!
These recordings bring back some of the best memories of my life.
BIG FACTS!!!
The beginning was when you was in awe and amazement.. 50 years later the world is jaded... so what!! We did it
Don't forget the King's of rap in Baltimore " The Golden Boys " !!!
I love hip hop. Im so glad i grew up in this time period.

Salute 2 Sha Rock🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here after watching Microphone Check, I was born long after this era but it must’ve been fun to attend these jams and parties.
I was there and it definitely was fun, but you had to stay on your toes also, because many a person lost their sheepskin coat outside the club back then.
When disco and hip hop met. Just to be there!!!
Some first use of the echo chamber on the Sha Rocks bars....epic..
The first lady of hip hop.... Before the term hip hop even started.
True Hip Hop.
The Holy Grail of the rap game.
When artists had God given talent and Creativity would blow your mind.
D.j's was spinning for the crowd
M.C was spitting clear rhymes loud.
B-boys and B-girls doing their thing.
Those are the days
I'm One of Many Hip Hop Babies. Born in 75,was living in the South Bronx 152 and Davis 81-82,6 years old I remember hearing "The Message" by Flash and The Furious 5 for the 1st time on the Radio,and fell in Love. Started Breaking,Tagging and Attempting to draw Graffiti. #HIPHOP4EVER🙌🏿👑💚🔥🔥🔥

Oh ok...i grew up in the Valley, but had friends who lived in Lambert projects
Rahiem stayed over there
Yeah i know.He was in my 10th grade English class at Truman H.S. ( Mr.Fink)

2 much luv 4 HipHop... Nuff respect legend. Salute from Colombia
Old school hip hop lives on
The mixtape used to be sold by Mr Richie Tee owner of the Rythem Den on Tremont Ave and Arthur Ave he also owned the T Connection on Gunhill Rd
That was my spot by the park on Tremont....Back in 82 83....Tapes were 5 bucks.
That was Jump Street of hip hop. Block party. Cutting up Good Times and Good Times was still at the top of the charts. Rapper's Delight didn't exist
Real Hip Hop will never die
Real Hip Hop will only multiply
Combat you anytime style.
Dopeness from the cradel.

Originators of the game
I'm just here to discover history since this is the original female mc
I give Grandmaster Flash his props! However,
DJ. Grandmaster Flowers,(Jonathon Cameron Flowers) was a Disc Jockey from Brooklyn. He opened up for the Godfather of Soul, James Brown at Yankee Stadium in “1969.” Do your own Independent Investigation. Why is he never mentioned?
As a young Disc Jockey in the game without any fame, I witness my first Disc Jockey back in 1975. A Latino brother name “Frankie” from Vernon Ave, between Lewis and Stuyvesant Ave. That’s Brooklyn, Bed-Stuy… P.E.A.C.E. = Perpetual Education Always Create Expansion!
I believe he is mentioned in the documentary Chuck D narrates on Pre-Herc/Flash hiphop.
Stop this myth about Flowers opening up for James Brown at Yankee Stadium. He was hired as a scab to just play intermission music between acts because the unionized engineers would not do it. He was not spinning with two turntables and a mixer. So stop all this B.S. myth and he was not billed as an act.
@@ColtanFree Do you have a link or article to that? I kind of heard the same thing about Flowers opening for James Brown being a myth
Your post made no point and has no connection to this video. Flowers is always mentioned as being a DJ pioneer and one of the top Disco DJ's in NYC but he wasn't a Hip Hop DJ. He wasn't doing what Flash, Theodore, Jazzy Jay, JC, and other Bronx DJ's were doing
People ya'll do know on the part Sha Rock is rapping on that is not not Flash cutting that's DJ Baron the Funky Four DJ
Yup that's baron
Oh fvck.....just thought of something CRAZY.....SHA ROCK n BIGGIE collaboration. Leggo!
