THIS IS WHAT DRINK CHAMPS NEEDS TO CONTINUE DOING
YEAH GOSSIP IS STALE STORIES & EXPLAINING HOW IS FRESH🪖🌴🕊️
This is what the show was supposed to be about. They had some duds the last few years BUT THIS RIGHT HERE IS MASTERCLASS AT ITS FINEST
Drink champs slowed up they not dropping as fast as they used too
@@princesamuels5981 they do again now every weekend! Just cause they wasnt dropping for a couple of weeks doesnt mean they aint dropping as fast as 2 months ago! Cant these dudes have a small break and vacation?? LMAOO!! Also take in consideration the stuff going on with Puffy and Drinkchamps is on Revolt... which is Puffy's platform!
I love how he addresses DJ efn in this episode you can yell he knows dj efn totally understands and admires
I totally agree this was more for Dj efn more of an DJ episode
Maaaaaaaan... I PRAY youngbloods out there paid attention!! This was true HIP-HOP HISTORY right here!!! God Bless everybody who put this joint together!! Thank you Flash for paving the way to do my thing as a DJ for the past 30+ years...and still doing it!!! Word!!
Been a student of hip hop since my birth in 2001. This ecxactly what the game been needing. A real platform to teach and understand
Hip Hop was created exclusively by Foundational Black Americans.. Cool herc a Jamaican and Puerto Ricans were guests..
Always keep 1 eye open like the oakland raiders
I’ve been a student of hip hop since the early 90’s and I’m happy to receive this knowledge from one of the god father’s of hip hop 🎶🙌🏾😎💯
2001 here 🌙
As a 56-year-old, I feel like I'm in school right now. Hip-Hop History Class is in session! Thank you for having The Grandmaster on!
I know I'm gonna feel like I'm in school then, because I'm 42. Old enough to know who he is and what he means to hip-hop but not old enough to have been at the early block parties or to go to the store to buy his albums when they first came out.
Overall it was a good interview but flash left some things out. Like not mentioning disco king mario and dj smokey who he use to be carry records for. According to herc those two djs are his peers
52 here! Feel the same way! This is my Hip Hop culture ( That I was raised around & participated in ). All this other stuff & new ratchet culture is NOT Hip Hop culture to me. Just my opinion.
And it’s the best class I’ve ever taken
45 here
I’m 60 years old. When Flash was talking about vinyl and the old stereo system it took me back to my childhood. Very cool interview!!!!
I'm 50 yrs. old and felt the same!
NORE WILDING WITH THAT FIRST QUESTION 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Thats what I said!
dude is a complete legend, this should have millions of views
I said the same thing!!!!
Factual
This was one of the best episodes of all time✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nah fr
This needs to be put in a movie. From him at home getting his back side tore up for going in pops closet , to him selling mixtapes to street pharmaceutical vendors 😂.
what if i told you the movie is already written....
The Get Down
@@ATMSynsay no, not even close, keep your eyes open...
😂😂😂 tore his...Glad I kept reading your comment 😅. I was about say "I was thinking the same thing!" 😅😅
@@SILVARYDAH I'd say tell me more!!!!!!! I have to see it, now!!!! Don't play like that.
This episode has truly made drink champs run full circle. Big ups, NORE/ EFN &Pioneer-Grandmaster Flash
Your getting a master class in dj'ing and hip hop culture for free from the master himself salute to a pioneer flash the great!!!!
LISTENING TO HIM TALK AND EXPLAIN "HOW IT ALL STARTED" IS LIKE LISTENING TO AN APOSTLE TALK ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WAS STARTED OR HOW THINGS WERE BACK IN THEIR TIME!❤❤❤❤
Flash came back in this realm to re-invent what he created in another life.
This interview revamped my passion for music
up for collaborations!
Yessirski let’s collaborate 🎶🙌🏾😎💯
this was an incredible episode for hip-hop heads. 4 hours long, but worth the listen (or when this premieres, watch). Flash was dropping gems! And I gotta watch when he's on the wheels of steel...it sounded pretty cool in the audio. The story of how he learned about DJin/music was dope to hear.
It was cool that Dustin "the diamond" Porier to drop in for the convo.
Man! I didn't know Flash was gonna take us to DJ school! 🤯
OG is speaking to the audio engineers booooy! Whoooo I got chills b .
This man is truly a self made genuine hip hop scientist. A true GRANDMASTER!!!!!!!!!
This is a masterclass on not just hip hop but music. Felt like I was in school. And I been watching drink champs since 2015
This is beautiful. I grew up in the Bronx with Grandmaster Flash.
The culture needs this information because in 50 years, they’ll say Eminem and vanilla ice created rap, sampling , DJING and mixing.
I swear! They already saying people who immigrated to the Bronx made all these major moves. Nah, it was the native New Yorkers already living there, all that other shit came in the 80's.
@@IKARIking67 they’re talking about DJ COOL HERC. He was born in Jamaica.
@@IKARIking67 look how Wikipedia is disclaiming his accomplishments. This is how history gets changed.
If our generation already did their duty to inform the youth, it wont matter what "they" say about history. Its funny how people are so concerned about who invented hip hop, but most people have no clue who invented a lot more important things than hip hop.
Do people know who invented different instruments, speakers, mixers, record players/turntables, samplimg machines etc? Cuz without those hip hop as we know it, mos def wouldnt be what it is,
No way they just cut away GM Flash DJ’ing and showing all of the elements he spoke about 😢 Please release that part
Depending on the music he used, they might not be able to clear the use of it. Owners of the music might want more than they are willing to pay.
@@kpatterson369ifyfuck that they got enough money. they shouldnt of included the segment if they werent gunna show it
I swear I came to see that part after hearing the podcast & cut that whole part bruh .
He just did this today at Columbia university. so fckn cool
This was a hip hop history class in this interview.
Shout out to Grandmaster Flash. Real OG. Straight Diggen in Da Crates Day 1. Salute............Say Word. 👊🏽
He was waaaay ahead of his time, he's a genius! Thank you..Hip-Hop forever 💐 Grandmaster Flash
This man is the architect. As a dj its a pleasure to watch him explain how this cane together. 💪🏾💯
Y'all getting real legendary. DMC now Flash 💐👑💎✌🏿
HIP HOP 101! This is historic content! Thank you.
I don't think people actually recognise the greatness they have been blessed with right here. That's GrandMaster Flash ladies and gentlemen ...... Hip Hop's architect
What an amazing story teller. This man makes images out of words!
This is hip hop education!!! I love it!!!!!
A group of drunks talking nonsense
He wasn’t even drinking. Flash wasn’t. You’re a hater. I hope the best for you.
CLASS IS IN SESSION! What a dope interview and lesson. Thank you DRINK CHAMPS, N.O.R.E, E.F.N, and FLASH for this one.
The Crayola colors is clicking, clacking satisfaction guaranteed we all know that it is an action. People are living free, and knowing that the calculations are always coming back again, like the infinite one, the calculations eighth the true wonder of the world 🤔 ether is real !!!76
Best episode, hands down!! It's about to get serious, y'all!!! Master class, turntable genius is in the building!!! ❤❤❤ Best 3 hrs. ever watched!
I can honestly agree! 💯
Flash is super technical how he explains things. Science and Math fr
...and spiritual!
King Disco Mario, Kool DJ Dee, Tyrone the Mixologist, Smokey??
Master class in session. Grandmaster is a treasure. Thank you for giving him his well-deserved flowers!
I am so glad that Flash is telling NORE let me speak first and you can ask your questions after.
Okk!! For 2 seconds you would've thought he was NORE'S pop 😂😂😂😂😂
Was completely BLOWN AWAY! in this interview. This right here might be the most important interview in HIP-HOP HISTORY EVER! Thanks for this gem. 💎 I will never forget this one....🙌
💪🏿💯💪🏿
THE BEGINNING OF HIP HOP!!!
Wow i remember DJ Flowers from Bedsty. Pete DJ Jones and the legendary Larry Levan DJ from Paradise Garage
THIS IS WHY WE WATCH DRINK CHAMPS! REAL HIP HOP LEGENDS! S/O TO THE LEGEND!
About 30 mins in and this prolly the best episode yet. I’m only 35 years old so while I kno who he is and know some of his music there’s a lot I didn’t know.
I love listening to this man talk. GMF FOREVER Salute the creator the innovator the Leader of the Golden area.
I'm smoking all of my weed while I'm enjoying this history lesson❤❤
I'm two with ya😂😂😂😂
My fav drink champ episodes is with the legends like this man shout out to drink champs
I LOVE how he and EFN were having "DJ moments" all throughout! Dope!
Hip Hip was going in Bronxdale before 1973. I find it funny how these dudes never wanna mention how they were going to rosedale park to see Mario or Kool Dee
I do to and it’s funny how nobody ever ask that question and put it on the table even though they have heard the truth of hip hop but I wouldn’t expect more or the wight dude to do it because they have narrative to paint nore who claims PR and the other wight dude Colombian I wouldn’t expect them to make a stand for the truth dude looks nothing like a Latino but that’s all he claims I get it it’s part of him but not the only part of him! Never gives props to his Black side so that should tell you a lot right there but he is entertaining though!
@@Black_unity597 Man Tex was literally bori bro. Idk what y’all are talkin about, we can get the full story of Hip Hop without bein like racist whites and erasing folks or shuttin em out just cause of where they from. Even Coke said himself a lotta dudes wasn’t saying where they were from or their background, so a lot more cats coulda been “latin” or “Caribbean” and folks wouldn’t even know.
why is that necessary? Flash names who he names. he claims what he himself did and gives props to those who influenced him. how would you know where he was going or who he was or wasn't seeing? bizarre how folks would rather detract than simply learn.
They Don’t want to give FBA no. Credit
@@Ishamel88 who bro? whoooooooo? who don't want to give fba no credit man? WHOO?
Dj Hollywood was the first i heard of selling mix tapes. Love bug starski use to buy his tapes, thats what made starski want to become a dj.
Hollywood from and was in grown ppl clubs by in hip hop logic that don’t count Nore need to stop bullshit bring Hollywood on drink champs
@@MrWARBUCKS24 thats why we're in this situation because of hip hop logic and lies. Ppl not wanting to give credit they want all the credit for themselves. Flash is a prime example of that, he was doing it in this interview.
@uptown
I agree with 💯% on that but one thing he did give credit to was the Disco DJs he tried to seperate them from hip hop but he said himself they inspired him and good they were at what they were doing without them hip hop wouldn’t be also at the end of the day still all Black Americans culture no matter how he tries to paint himself as the first to do everything! That’s lies and ego driven anybody with brain should be able to see thru that because booty bandit bam is the one that started this big as lie atleast Herc tried to tell the truth at one point in his life! Now he straight out lies but he didn’t back then because he knew that people would have gotten on his ass!
@@uptownbladebrown Man he invented the slip mat and the theory to which Hip Hop became what it was. We could get into the argument all day and night about who what where when why how, but you cannot lie and say that Flash wasn’t the first to do it like that, because even Kool DJ Dee and Tyrone never claimed to have been spinning it clean like that and looping the breaks before Flash, they don’t have the scientific breakdown of it and any BBoy, DJ and MC will tell you that Herc was the mecca, Bam had the beats and Flash had the technique. Lots of people haven’t gotten their credit, absolutely. Whole bronxdale crew, Chuck Chuck city, Tex DJ Hollywood n em but dawg let’s not continue lies by NOT giving credit where it’s due. Mario didn’t have invent the wafer, Mario wasn’t backspinning, and Mario didn’t formulate the technique to which rap as we know it was possible. Pete DJ Jones woulda called it that train wreck style, OR he was doing blends clickin receivers/blending with the tone arm. We can give credit to ALL the hip hop legends (depending on your definition of Hip Hop vs Disco etc) without stealing shine from others. We gotta stop with this weird “only one man on the stage” stuff man. G’head on with that man let’s elevate
@@arturogamboa1498 EXACTLY AND WELL SAID!!!💯
Hands down no contest #1 interview in Hip Hop History Period!! Glad I lived to see this ! Birth of hip hop ..WOW!‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯💯💯
I had to stop in the middle of the interview to make this post ! As a music fanatic this is by far the most music magical interview ever and i am glad that god has allowed me life to watch this interview !
I relate to you longlostbuddy. Hip Hop is not just a culture for me, it's my religion...frfr!!!
Glad to hear him shout out the original Grandmaster who is the Foundational Black American Grandmaster Flowers that all of the early DJ’s got the game from. Foundational Black American culture birthed Hip Hop music/culture and we welcomed the other contributors from other lineages that were influenced by our culture.
FACTS!
THIS THE BEST DRINK CHAMPS EPISODE
The Mutha FKng legend!!! You cannot celebrate 50 years of hip hop without Grand Master Flash?!?! Are you serious??? The inventor of mixology and DJ’ng!!! 🔥🔥🙇🏽♂️🙇🏽♂️
Lord have mercy put the crack pipe down
He did not invent DJing you wilding straight bugging Flash is stroking his own ego he was never bigger that Booty bandit bam which everybody knows he didn’t create anything at all he watched Dj Mario & Tex Hollywood doing their thing played on their set that’s where he got it from the leaders of the Black spades Mario!
Some episodes are so educational to me as a hip hop head. My love for the music is more than just the beat or the lyrics, I loved when magazines like the Source began telling a realer story than Word Up & the teen fluff mags & now Drink Champs allows the Artist to speak themselves!
Flash is what Jamaicans called a sound man. The early sound systems were DIY built, we used to build our speaker boxes too.
🎩👌🏼
Magic Johnson WAS a DJ in college at Michigan State. His name was EJ The DJ.
IM SO GLAD HE SAID IT !!!
STOP BREAKING THE LAW OF DJ'ing when spinning at parties/clubs, trynna throw 🥷's, F'n up the vibes.....!
Hip Hop Masterclass 🎚🎤🎧🎓
Honestly the whole episode was a Hip-Hop masterclass, delivered like a Sunday service. What a icon💐
Hip hop culture master class. Thank you
This was an absolute joy to watch.
Don't know why this ain't get 10 millions views already! History right here!
This is probably the most important interview about hip hop ever. Nore & DJ effen deserve all their credit for their interviewing tactics and the energy they bring.
It's alotta knowledge and wisdom in this interview... Way before my time but respect to the one of the originators.
Damn I never seen the scar where somebody tried to slit his throat... That's a wild scar.
I'm 41 and this was before my time but I know about his impact but no understanding of the actual impact. This interview is for hip hop purist
This felt like a schooling on dee jaying & a legitimate conference... All eyes on the master
This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could listen to him talk about hip hop for hours! He is a genius! This was a masterclass snd he put on a clinic. He invented rap music… there is no rap without the break beat sampling. And THANK YOU for not interrupting him and letting him cook.
Twilight zone👁️👁️👨
Best episode ever this made EFN ,s day all DJ⏺️ legends , what’s good Scram!!!
I noticed that. As a DJ he was on cloud 9, things he always wanted to know. Nore isn’t following a lot of the technical stuff but EFN it’s all on it. Lol
I used to listen to Grandmaster Flash when I was 67, and now I'm 13. This will forever be a classic.
Can't believe I let this episode pass me by. This is one of my favorite episodes on DC. Shout out the legend GM⚡
That's why we need guys like Flash and the Original- Original OGs to share these stories while they're still here and cognizant to teach. This is stuff you can't get from a book.
What a treat to hear the Master speak and teach. Im in awe!!
This honestly felt like school... I was truly amazed. I could literally just listen to him talk about mixing
This is one of your most informative in-depth interview from a Hip Hop legend that was there when this whole thing started.Shoutout to my Carribbean brother from Barbados Grandmaster Flash.
Nore did you just interrupt GMF so YOU can start talking about reccord shops??? That's wild man .
A Legend a Pioneer of HIPHOP droppin Real History!!!!!! BX 💯
Grandmaster Flash took everyone to class and taught lessons. Very expressive and glad he shared his best memories in hip hop.
I ran into the great grand master flash 25 years ago in the Bronx. I asked for his autograph he graciously said yes & made it to my son.i still have it till this day. Real solid dude. Thx Flash👍🏽👍🏽
thats so cute. i just saw him at a talk & dj demo at columbia university. probably one of the cooelst dudes ever.
Why no mention of the grandfathers of hiphop like Mario , Kool Dj Dee and Tyrone The Mixologist who were doing it in 1970 in Bronxdale
HE IS THE HISTORICAL AUTHOR OF HIP-HOP OKAY
In ur Charmaine voice 😂
Lord have mercy, this man is a fraud taking credit for what the real pioneer s created
@@undisputedtruth6176 explain plz
The Grand Master Flash. Hip Hop Historian, and also the inventor of the Quick Mix Theory. Legendary Hip Hop Icon. I managed the Foot Locker in Bay Shore Mall one day when I realized Flash was in the store...I started to turn around and inform my co-workers when he said, "bruh...I'd appreciate if you kept me on the low". I was amazed, after seeing Flash and the Furious Five perform live in the Bronx during high school. The Grand Master Flash deserves ALL the flowers. One of the best Drink Champs interviews ever. Good job my brother N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN...OFFICIAL HIP HOP SALUTE...!!!!!
Class was in session. It’s good to get a history lesson straight from the source. Hope to see more people from this era do the same and hopefully all together in the same room. Gotta do it now that they’re alive. Thank you Drink Champs for getting the ball rolling.
Last night changed it all!!!. It was all about the beat NORE!.
Rap / Hip hop is Black America’s gift to the world. Funk and R & B are the DNA of hip hop. Black Americans have always been hipping and hopping for our survival in a racist country
Don't make it racial
@@IAMHIPHOP974STFU HISTORY OF REAL FACTS
@@IAMHIPHOP974says the prejudice person that always say racist things about Black Americans
@iam hip hop
Why not it is racial everything has to do with race in this country he has every right to state facts about our culture who are you to say he can’t??? When it comes to our culture we verybidy wants to say don’t make it racial but when it comes to salsa or reggae nobody ain’t saying that even though Black Americans had hands on created both! We are not supposed to homer our history in this country after all we have been thru in this country and still we were able to produce these great things that world enjoys but don’t want to hear the pain behind it all but we are supposed to respect others cultures but yall don’t want to respect ours this is our fault we are to inviting to outsiders this has to stop!
@@Black_unity597 AND WE HAVE TO STOP GIVING THEM TO MUCH OF OUR ENERGY. IGNORE THEM SOMETIMES
this what i been waiting for
You know when you're in the presence of greatness when the hosts are silent and just listening
This was well needed for the culture of Hip Hop. Best Drink Champs interview so far!!
One common theme that I don’t think he and a lot of people seem to always try to separate but it seems like the Disco played a large part in the formation of hip hop like it or not!
QUESTION: How was instruments created? Who created music and singing?
The Pioneer! I'm a 57yr young White dude who was front row center for the beginning of this incredible musical genre. I've stayed true to myself and true to the hip-hop culture. Take it back to the dances at the gyms, the Fresh Fest concert, the days when DJs could play what they wanted. Pre Autotune, when 2 turntables, a cross-fade, a microphone, and a boatload of talent was what it took to make history!
This might be my favorite episode!! And I’m only 30! But this is music!!! This man is a genius to the art
DJ Grandmaster Flash is a legend,icon All these DJ should praise this man that started to quick mix the beatbox enough respects to you my brother
Created the beat box??? Yall be taking things to far! Henisntryingbtontake LL the credit for himself when it wasn’t 4 people who created hip hop it was way more people then that the bboys don’t even get their credit when it started with them ain’t no hip hop with the funk of James brown and many other Black Americans DJs like Jim brown & Dj Mario but it started with the bboys not the Dj it started with the Black Americans community who are the real creators of hip hop the entire Black American community who none of these people give credit to without us there is no hip hop!
Much Love and respect to Grandmaster Flash. Noreaga I gotta be straight with ya, we need some women on the set. Let's get Keith Murray... let's not forget where we come from. 😊
Bro a scientist
2 things....
1. Thank you for bringing on Grand Master Flash, the way he told stories and taught us important hip-hop history that was captivating and phenomenal!
2. This is for the Drink Champs production team: please improve the microphone, sound, lighting, the camera equipment and amateur operators. In this and many other episodes, the footage is blurry, shaky, at times not even in frame. The sound or microphones are not placed correctly, sometimes the lighting is off making a person look too bright or too dark. Drink Champ production team, please elevate your production, stop using amateurs or low budget methods. The platform has grown and viewership has increased, fans need you to continuously adapt and better the production for quality sake.
Awesome interview. I've been waiting on this interview. We need more interviews like this and interview producers,record company owners, and studio engineers
Hip hop kings 🎉🎉🎉🎉real talk
Hip hop should have a World Award show. Hosted in different countries (WHHA world hip-hop awards) I think it's time! Hip-hop is all over the world. 😊
Don’t need a show just build a monument to Black Americans
Grandmaster Flash is a Genius this Man should be celebrated
This is an important episode. This is from the source. A real living legend and inventor
He is the PIONEER OF THIS MUSIC ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hip Hop was created exclusively by Foundational Black Americans..
Literally of Hip hop music.
Lord have mercy the man created nothing
Noreaga you gotta relax ha ha ha I know it's very special edition of Drink Champ's wit Grandmaster Flash , we iz Teachin ya'll need to recognise yo'h chiiill
Grew up on fox Street, and 138cypress, went to ps 43. In the 70s before moving to EL BARRIO / HARLEM
LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIP HOP GROWING UP!!!... keep up the great work!!
This is such a valuable episode . Living legend taking us to school . Thanks
Flash needs to write a book to get it all straight. Period.
he did. find it.
He did but he didn’t tell the full truth either if you leave up to him he invented everything and was the first to do everything nothing and nobody else played apart but he slips up in interviews and talks about how the the DJing really came from the Disco DJs he even do e it in this interview but people will look over that because he wants all the credit for him self! The Black American community are the creators of hip hop and that’s the truth wasn’t no 3 or 4 people it was the entire community!
you couldn't be more wrong about every single thing you said@@Black_unity597
