damn that takes some serious work to get all of that to sync together. i have a new respect for the DJ

Much Respect To Grandmaster Flash!

I agree. I mean, Grandmaster Flash isn't much more than an icon now. What he played right there is pretty much exactly what he did on Grandmaster Flash and His Adventures on the Wheels of Steel, and that was decades ago.

Thanks for posting!

it is the real hip hop.....i love it

rockin Apache! Flash iz tha man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dis is deadly man.Why didnt hip hop stay t this level of cool

the grandmaster at work. good shit

Grandmaster Flash - Turntablism father hell yea!!!

incredible. best turntablism i've ever heard.

actually this was from a mini dj battle on MTV back in 97. Grandmaster Flash, Jam Master Jay, DJ Skribble and Slinky were the judges. Positivly Red took 1st place and DJ Infamous took 2nd. Oh and Flash has always had his tables like that, easy access to the pitch control. For him his needle drops are more precise with them that way.

Right on man.

ooooollllldddd schooolllll that's music! thx man to post this vid

@vuksa1234321 Yes, but music in the 80's was already made on computer instruments, such as digital synthesizers, sequencers and drum computers.

The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel

Incredible Bongo Band- Apache

This was probably recorded before scratch DJs figured out it was better to put the turntables sideways. DJs who don't scratch a lot usually have them this way.

The precurssor of scratching.

That Was cool

daamn

it was said about 4 years ago that Grandmaster Flash was the ONLY DJ from the Pioneers of DJing and Hip Hop that was still a DJ and a Radio Personality... at over the age of 50... most of the DJ's that started hip hop arent doing it anymore, there watching there old videos of victorys....

watch him at future fukin AMAZING!

It's 'Apache' by the Incredible Bongo Band. I think it's like every B.Boys' song they want played at their funerals or something :)

Lotsa people say this isn't good, but you have to give him credit because he started what everyone now knows as turntablism, and I'll bet it probably wasn't even on purpose ("Whoa I slipped- *scratch* That sounded hot.) People took what he created and just kept adding onto it, and there are lots of scenarios where the creator of the thing isn't as good as the people who took it up after him/her.

hi the drum break is from west street mob "breakdance _ electric boogie"

GMF is the best. extra telest!

This is hard

@MrHighVids It's actually the flipside of bongo rock. The joint is called Apache! The ultimate break dancing battle record. And you got it right brah,REAL HIP HOP at it's finest!

Always be the First!

i dont know xsecly but it coluld be early '90

OMG its incredible(:

they are the kings in barcelona saying we dont speak spanish we speak american and we all speak hip hop

mad

The Darth Vader of the Slide Fader

2020 Anyone?

looks like a old school hip hop cooking show.

whats that at 0:22 to 0:24? sounds awesome

lets stash some dash with grandmaster flash

@NYOLSKOOL this high pitched synth for a second or two? i listened to apache and didnt hear that

I think I understand u.I'm saying that once rap went to records, something was lost.And I related the effects of commercializing rap, with that of double-dutch, which from what I can see, is relegated to a narrowed population - the "in" crowd. You had to be there. D.J. mixing records and the MC spitting rhymes.Because of the time, w/no one ever seeing how big this would become, most of this was never recorded.But to me, those were hip--hops best days, a sort of innocence pre-commercialism.

iight, iight, grand, master, flash, iight? iight

or "its just begun" by the jimmy castor bunch.

I WOULD SAY ONLY THAT: GRANDMASTER FLASH SPEAKS WITH HIS HANDS!

oh, you aretalking about pre recorded hip hop, ther is a big peace of history miss there

incredible bongo band - apache?

@vuksa1234321 That's how it is supposed to be...

You know whats funny>....NO SERATO hahahaha.Dont trip I use it too

what problems have you?

@vuksa1234321 fucking agree!!!!

that`s the real dj-ing. not playing start-stop on cd decks

THAT my friend, is REAL hip-hop. I don't know what the HECK this gangsta trash is today. Wack and MORE wack!

is hip hop taught in elementary school music classes as most other forms of music are?

what is that song that he's blastin???

What's the name of the tracks on the wheels of steel?? Anyone know?

whats the name of the song at the very end of this video???

Isn't that how they are all setup?

is that the room where TRL was hosted?

hE'S COMIONG TO PYRAMID THIS YEARR

So true, and, being white (well, Greek) i couldn't care less bout this whole "oh look he's dissing the white man", cause its true =]

Ehh grand wizard theodore invented scratchin not flash he took to a next level with mc's and playin at clubs!!

my god, i miss those times, i hate it here in the bay area in california, the hyphy movement is killing the meaning of hip-hop

yeah, it was pretty basic. much respects to him anyway

1st, what does marilyn manson have to do with the WX's war on black people?

@MrHighVids Tiny Wayne is crap...ask my boys around the way...Big Daddy Kane is what they will say

It's a damn shame that this legend hasn't improved in over 25 years! I hate when old school cats refuse to evolve and grasp new concepts. Turntablism has evolved so much and this man is still playing the same way for the past 25 years.

gangasta is from the 90's, taday mtv killed hip hop whit that elevator pop shit

that was wack.....he is a pioneer i agree where was the 15 to 20 years of skills at doing that session.

hip hop has nothing to do with race, color and religion

lol, im listening to this and im white :0 everyone else is talking about white people being bad D=

i dont understand you, and meaby you dont understand me, every one got his opinions but almost anyone can say today hip hop sux

no, its not oldschool. using PC is faking. PC DJ's are fake DJ's.
