yes lol

I couldn't get my eyes off of it. The guy was so engaged, so enlightening.

This was a masterclass.

My world came to a complete stop for 57:27 mins. Loved every minute of it

I would back up if i missed any word! Damn, i was schooled!

Amen.

Technicly he is the Pastor

A............Men !!!!!

@@JamesFaction Grandmaster Pastor Flash

58

@@MrFooliofocker I think Churchill was referring to himself being 48.

All for free. You can see that he cherish the craft.

Case to be made that Flash is THE most important person in the original history of hip hop. Dude's contributions are integral.

@@stephenbernard4675absolutely… 🔥💯🙌🏽🫶🏾

Flash has won the POLAR MUSIC PRIZE in 2019, which is the musical equivalent of the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

Grandmaster Flash need to start a semester of lecture courses

He just did ;)

Grandmaster flash and krs-one can talk about hip-hop all day to me and I would never get tired.

Do you think he can do one while keeping his eyes closed the whole time?!

+louididdy probably but he would have to practice it a couple times.

Yeah but he didn't go back in time and say thanks to DISCO KING MARIO!

fr. Like he can still feel how he felt then

lol grand master flashback

@@AllRawMusic He feels the same. He feels like this art form is something that he was introduced to by MARIO

We miss EZE.. and NWA

Facts!

Objectively, that's not the most impressive part. It's the lesson, and it's the smoothness before that.

Yea brovi hear ya but I lat 13.99/mnth for my joints. Lol

You can also tell the 70's tracks he was playing, was bringing back so many memories for him.

Lmao tf u mean clownig flash he the real flash

That's one def granpa

is someone clowning dude?

he has my upmost respect and reverance any haters can smd

Bro. I just sent this video to every DJ i know.

Budha bless you

I totally agree

Fredric Brown indeed

Agreed.

On top of that the had a very great insight into control theory and conversion rates which is insane

Thats why he says hes a scientist first

💯💯💯

I wonder if they got the memo by now, 4 yrs later….??

Yes .I studied flash, d.J.. Cheese , redalert

ITX Official 😂

FACTS !!!!!

LOL........... Definitely

So damn rights its untrue 👌

Thanks @shullin¡¡

Actually,....song at 47:05 is "Get up and dance" by Freedom! The Sugarhill house band just emulated it with live instruments which was very common at the time!

Thnks!

You sir. Are a fucking legend

NIce... I was thinking they should've have put that on the bottom of the screen for each record.

A TED talk lol. This is Grand Master Flash... Give this man a department of music university tenure position

I agree with you. This should be archived as the legends are still physically here!

true need more of this that's why there's alot of people with no knowledge of Hip Hop

Talking to Flash is like pulling blood from a stone, but this was fantastic. Hopefully Hot97 will do more spotlights like this with the pioneers.

TuneStunnaMusic it was (shaolin) fantastic😉😂

+Pepe ayyyeeee

Wow you sound real smart R Clark lol!

True statement

thank you

You're missing the JayZ song between 4-5

Dj Suess It's Jay-Z's "Where I'm from" that made it popular. However Fat Joe used it before him on "Bad bad man" and then Kanye used it for that "Saint Pablo' song. Dope sample.

original: French Montana "shot caller" WTF?

+Troy Frazier I was thinking of a completely different song..shot caller has an old sample in it too that LOTU used back when..

me 2. lol

it has everything. hip hop. graffiti. drugs dealing. beautiful girls.

Yes everything that used to happen in the 70's

Took me 2 days but dope as hell!

Rainier Castro I was watching it on 1 or 2 am then i was done at 6/7 am lol I have no life

I HAD A FEELING HE WAS GONNA SAY THAT, ..I HAD TECHNICS IN THE EARLY 80S N STATE OF THE ART, TAPE DECKS W DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION, PRECISION TURNTABLES, POWERFUL TUNERS THAT U COULDN'T TURN THE VOLUME PAST 5 ...

Facts💪

Word!

Any1 know witch pioneer decks he has in this video am sure it's the pioneer plx1000s

Sounds like you've wasted HOURS

SARAP MO IZY

Nice

And he'd be busy doing that and creating less. Perhaps it's hard to do both

I think the whole idea of intellectual property kind of goes against hiphop ethos

me too

am on bord

He needs to open his eyes first... haha but hell yeah real hip hop knowledge for sure!

KRS One would be the philosophy teacher

+KaizerMan LMAOO this comment wins hands down

THE Hip Hop Pioneer

2 damn years?!?!

+Andrew Kornblatt nah next year

It's AMAZING, I'm not really deep into hip hop but it's just everything, the visuals, the music, the story lines, acting everything is phenomenal

its rlly cheesy

You are really cheesy. Or 12?

Basically invented? Try actually invented. Y know what? Delete the adverb. DID invent modern djing

………..

watch The Get Down on netflix, they made a series, it premiered last week

+kareem Good looks bro im THERE

Yeah dude the series is awesome

Ye but wtf is the sugar hill gang and Scorpio

+melphieowns one of the first artists in the hip hop genre

Scientist! Yes

Flash attended Samuel Gompers Vocational School where he studied electronics as a kid.

And a professor too!

I second that

third it

that's how I ended up here

best show i've seen in years. i say this to people whenever they bring up needing something to watch.

Flowzah I guess you can say that. I mean Im a young guy, Im only 20 years old. My father always told me stories of grandmaster flash, DJ kool herc. I like how in the series of "The Get Down" it not only tells about these DJ legends, but it submerges you in the everyday life in the bronx in the 70s and the beginning of a new sound known as "hip hop". I actually learned a lot watching this tv show. If you haven't watched it already, I highly recommended it.

He has another one I think on his own channel, where he demonstrates the loop in more detail.

If I say "word ,thats dope tho " in response to your comment would it be considered illiterate diction ...or because you teach Hip-Hop would it be accepted ? (Joke and serious question)

Do you have an email. Im a student in atlatna and i always wanted to get deeper into where hip hop came from!

@@Felix-M. it would totally be accepted lol

@@jayd1168 broadcaster.tlove@gmail.com , I have a list of readings that you may be interested in !

Rocking Maryland Eastern Shore since 84,I said that in my DJ voice when i read it LOL..rock on bro..it dont stop til the casket drop,i LOVE OUR CULTURE IM 56.

Much respect to you man!! You've been in the game for a while and you're still going strong!! That's what's up!! Salute to you man.........

Salute !!! You got me by a few… so I hope to keep on goin too!!! Ya can never be too old for something out generation invented and grew up to.. never quit!!!

And don't stop Pop!

they also created hip-hop

what your point?

That was it. It's not an insult or compliment.

So are emcees.

YoRBG DJs (Turntablist)

wow... you know Flash well.. Linda, My name is Martin Please do me a favour if you see Flash at any point (since i can't reach out to him) Please tell him :... Martin says : thank you flash for making my childhood and all our childhoods something that is beyond explanation, something that we can never put into words for you and i doubt you would fully understand so all i can say is.... Thank you to a larger degree than words can say thank you for everything, thank you for helping me grow up because that's what the music did it was there for a child when a child needed it and needed to make sense of the world. Please tell flash that if you get a chance Thanks Linda Appreciate it FYI : I've met my fair share of celebrities as a result of my work, unfortunately i never met Flash, it would have been beyond an honour to have had the opportunity but hey... it doesn't always happen that way funny thing huh LOL some people yearn to meet a celebrity or two now why is it that when you meet them , it's not the one's you want LOL anyway thanks and take care

watch my reaction video to his classic tune The message kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5ucY6xomb2slqM.html

Saw your comment before I got to that part of the vid and was like huh? But yooo when it got to that part I was like daaayuuummm that's what they were talking about! Flash is for really real the one who started it all. ✌️🤘

NO TUPAC WTF??

TheRainAssassin Flash was dropping the looped samples used to produce those songs lol pretty sure the drums were used for other songs

2Pac - "Keep Your Head Up" is from Five Stair Steps...the vocals sampled "Changes" is from a rock song??? "Hit'em Up" - is the same sample as Junior Mafia's "Get Money" (Reix) i forgot the sample name lol

+Jeff Luther Dennis Edwards don't look any further

+Jeff changes is from the way it is Bruce hornby ... Hit em up is from don't look any further

Everyone making millions off of hip Hop should break some bread with this man.

Humble? Watch his Letter to Herc...he's delusional & arrogant. He's basically trying to credit himself for what Herc doing long before him. I know he had to do to make it work back in the day but I guess he didn't get the memo that you do not need to put coins in the heads shell in this day and age. As far as him "inventing" cueing. There's guys with patents in the 50's for cueing systems. He's a narcissist, tooting his own horn because nobody else is doing it. There's a reason why he doesn't get the credit that he thinks he deserves.

@@AaronGuerrerodesdezeroent nah man !!!!! The one's making millions.... they AIN'T HIP HOP!!! Flash don't need their money... Hip hop culture is more than music

I would LOVE if ppl didn't dress, talk and make the music they do now. lmao

damn man i bet those partys were amazing, got any storys u don't mind telling?

Disco Mario R.I.P.

Absolutely. I was young as hell, about 13-14 years old, so I wasn't drinking and smoking like the older kids. But the block parties were insane. You could see a cloud of smoke over the small area that surrounded the DJ, all the time. Everyone would be dancing, drinking and smoking. This jams didn't last long though, because the cops would break them up. The cops would sometimes sit along side for a while before breaking things up. The music was amazing, and I heard music during that time that never left the city, I'd never hear it again anywhere else. The closest movie I've seen about growing up in the city is The Get Down, which is what I believe Flash is promoting in this video.

+Kurde DAM - it was brother, the city was stressful but somehow, we made the best of it. My moms saved her kids by moving to South Florida, as we were headed in the wrong direction. Florida was a culture shock. Hip Hop hadn't made it there yet. Check out the Get Down on Netflix, it's the closest I've ever seen a film made about the culture, Peace.

Rique Rod Yeah i watched it, i immediately wanted to know more about the beginning of Hip Hop, and the culture in the Bronx in the 70s. Seriously, even if there was crime, gangs etc.., this culture is so fascinating and we want to know how afro-americans and latinos lived in here against social discrimination and racism, and music was like the solution. Damn dude, The Get Down made me think a lot about it. Thank you for sharing your experience in the Bronx. And as Africa Bambaataa said : Peace, unity, love and havin' fun :D

No disrespect to you or Grandmaster Flash but technically Kool Herc is the founding father of Hip Hop, but yes Grandmaster Flash did "upgrade" it per say and is very important and contributed immensely to Hip Hop

People who stay active and continue to do what they love tend to age gracefully, I think.

@@bsadewitz Your right. The True Enemy of Age is Stress. So that's why uts important to do wht u Love n Enjoy life... So yes wht u said is true.

no he's better he invented something that changed life's of billions of poeple

Yang-Baby Boloman Der Kaiser just like.. Picasso 😭 Better not be a r/woosh

only been 4 months xD

Factssssssssssssss

Because people are dumb sheeps that follow dumb sheeps

thats because real hip hop died/that why many new music suck in that gen re

Here's why it doesn't have millions of views; it's because it shifts the paradigm and debunks the stereotypes. America can't fathom this kind of forward scientific progress coming from such humble places.

hahahaha

FUCK ROSENBIRD

hahahaha

what! you noticed that too...hehe

joshua phillipss do u know whats the fast guitar sample

4 bars = 6 rotations but it depends on the bpm and the rpm of course, give or take some fraction of a rotation for 33 rpm...

Me to bruh

Right he made it all so simple while when i 1st started i was struggling lol

Then you were merely a record player not a DJ

it all depends on the bpm of the record. that doesnt magically work for every record lol

shot fired lol

Is 'so called rock stars' a reference to Kanye?

nah just these guys who can't spit to a DJ Premier beat

+KaizerMan I think uzi said in interview that he's a "rock star"

Krit S Oh okay. I don't keep up to date with Uzi and other mainstream emcees so I assumed it was a diss to Ye. Good thing it wasn't :)

You gotta watch the Get Down…the kid who plays him is incredible! Looks like his son.

@@megabugginout saw it. The Get Down was hot af - Very underrated, got hardly any publicity.

Grandmaste flowers was the first Grandmaster

he is not.. actually.. to become a GRAND MASTER DJ.. a REAL GRAND MASTER DJ needs to give you that tittle.. thats actually sumthing that he said before.. BUT if GRAND MASTER FLOWERS who was before him didnt give him that tittle HOW THE F*** HE IS A GRAND MASTER?? He just stole that Name from Flowers cause he was the one popping in thise years in NYC.. Flash is always lying tho.. on the real.. just watch 3 interviews of himself and you will smlisent to 3 different storys about the same topic :/ ... its sad but if you dont believe me go and check bro.. get that knowledge.. Bless and GOOD VIBES!

That Grandmaster rule didn't apply in the 70's, that was later after he was a name.

But thats what im saying tho.. :/ how he can create sumthing like that when he is not even the original one..?? He knows the truth too.. he was building up sumthing from a lie.. he naming himself GRAND MASTER FLASH.. when that name was not even his.. and then building up a story from that :/

He is a pioneer and probably the most famous DJ even though he wasn't the first. Afrika Bambatta is OG also but his most famous song "Planet Rock" is a rip off of Trans Europe express by Kraftwerk and even the stuff Kool Herc was doing, was just stuff he saw in Jamaica and brought to NYC. What's called "boasting" in Jamaica is basically what rap became. And yes, I heard even the Furious five said that Flash took credit for stuff they did but you can't deny what he did for Hip Hop.

PEACE!!!!!! love this acronym

STEAM: precisely.

Salute to The Grand Master so dope so Fresh OMG I can go on for ever - I as a kid use to sneak staying up to 1am 2am listening to WHBI if I remember correctly the supreme team show with C-Devine the master mind & Justice Allah the super star. At this time I’m six or seven years old living in Queens into baseball cards & comic books WOW! Peace to Grand Wizard Theodore - I glad dropped the True science of the original art form of HIP HOP culture respect to Cowboy one of the best MC’s to bless us with poetry

Peace to Grand Master Flash

no it's not.

SomeReallyUniqueName your not lying

Definitely would have been nice if he had. He deserved and deserves it. But since you sound like you're not sure, the true genuine answer is... he did not

@@theLTstation he got paid to preform... trust me he did just find

the smartest thing i heard this month

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thats why people need to stop claiming shit like they drake claiming he top 5. That shit is something else doesn't mean these artists are trash but they aren't this "evolution" of HipHop they think they are cause if they were, the world would adapt cause HipHop is world culture at this point and the original elements are still adopted by people in various countries around the globe, in fact they are dominating in some parts, just take an asian like son goku and give him some HipHop music and you will see.

+Amenophis IV thank you , evolution is advancing on the groundwork that it's pre era generation set forth , how the fuck do you go from pac biggie nas to lil yatchy and Uzi vert being called rap ?
