The Crash Crew definitely don't get the credit that they really deserve thanks Jayquan for another great lesson

I remember "We Are The MC's and On The Radio" as young teen. These 2 songs are the joints that introduced me to the Crash Crew.

Their first single should've secured them a major label contract alone...that record was so powerful....too bad one of those A&R's never came into the streets and saw the impact that joint had on the inner-city youths...if you couldn't recite all the rhymes (which many of us could) you definitely would recite the singing part straight though to "Debbie deb rock the house"💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

For the record, the PAL (Police Athletic League) was not a club, but a community based center, like the YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, etc. These places were common place, for kids to go enjoy Hip-Hop, in a safe(r) environment. They catered to kids, and teens. I went to these parties, and would partake in the break dance competitions, and I remember getting fresh, on Easter and posting up, checking out the fly girls, in the place. My youth, in The Bronx was dope!

I love all of your videos very informative.

The Crash Crew were definitely onto Something.You can hear that They were searching to create particular Building Blocks of Sounds.That would eventually outlive Them.To go on to born conceptual wise.Through other Hip-Hop Artists.Later down the line into the Future.Peace 2 The One and only "Crash Crew" Thank You for Your Musical contributions.✊🏾😎

another great story

Love this Brothers Webinar keep doing what your doing Sir still waiting on Poor Righteous Teachers and X-Clan

You the BEST for this! You're appreciated brother!

This was my group!!

This is my favorite track by them, a masterpiece!

Peace! Thanks for the history lesson 🫡

NUFF RESPECT FOR THIS SERIES!!🙌🙌💣💣💥💥

FINALLY!! Someone giving the Crash Crew their flowers!! I always thought of them as THE unsung ole school rap crew...Hi Power Rap was a BANGER!!! "When you walkin down the street with your box in your hand..." That long verse in Hi Power Rap has to be one of the BEST verses EVER! Definitely better than Flash and the F5's studio band version in my opinion...using the original beat made it more hood, more street...as a young dj I couldn't stand Freedom although it definitely got bodies on the floor. Thanks for recognizing the Crash Crew...they will always be one of my favorites and wish they got more props. PEACE - PookSki - #SOUNDVIEW #WATSONAVE

Another dope episode! I'm going back and watching all of these Foundation episodes in the proper order now and the depth and attention to detail is unmatched.

Salute my Brother I appreciate you

that black and white picture with the bikes is dope!

One of my favorite groups

i learned alot watching this on the behind-the-scenes shit. the crash crew was hot.

wow man I did not no they was on another Label before sugarhill.Thanks for the info.

I always wondered how High Power Rap was produced. I used to think it was a DJ cutting the record back and forth. Thanks for the info Jayquan.

Awesome!

on the radio was hot in I still play it

You da bomb jay

"The drum pattern was hot, the keyboards were hot...but one problem.... the Fantasy 3" 🔥🔥🔥 Narration!!

Peace to the True School

I'm the mellow gee man rapper #5 and in any battle I will survive.

These are my NYC peeps

I was listening to High Powered Rapp by Crash Crew on my way home from the gym this morning and realized that they were actually rapping over the original recording of Freedom.... Then I thought to myself...wouldn't High Powered Rapp (1980) trump Grandmaster Flash Adventures on the Wheels of Steel (1981) as being the first recording of an actual record on a record? but wasn't sure of the actual release dates..So i came here to get the scoop. Even though they spliced it with tape and it was not done with two turntables..Shouldn't they form a technical aspect at least get credit??? Just sayin...

Another great video my bro!

Do the force Mc's let's hear about them before they turned to the force md's

we want to Rock is my favorite in on the radio

Scratching was the name of the original track that used for Scratching without actual dj scratches on rhe record

COOL G RAPP lesson, it's your rock your rock your rock

Got High power rap, thanks to the ego trip list.

2-4-6-8 Jackson 5 joint

Anybody know what's up with the Bay City label for the "On the Radio" 12"? That always confused me. I think I may even have a sealed copy and it has a Sugar Hill sleeve but a Bay City label.

How many of you'll have this on vinyl? I do

I SEEN THIS ALREADY LOL ....D.O.P.E

Hi again Jayquan! I bought "High powered rap" dl a list: rap hits year by year 1979-88 compiled by Ego Trip magazine, thanks for educating me. any comments of the Ego trp list, do you agree with it????

wish I sill had my copy of "High Power Rap"

The original 12" of Breaking Bells is superior. I wonder why they never released it on the Crash Crew album

jayquaun about a story on that stuff I love so much called electro funk

One of the crash look like eddie Murphy and dude in picture with hat look like jj from good times all four dudes are from NYC lol crash crew

crash crew's record was better in my opinion

Yeah, the Crash were dope, really under-rated and unsung. One of my favorite groups. I would love to get that sugar hill album and maybe any other compilations they might have. Would you know any? Also like and subscribe to my youtube an soundcloud music pages. My production is uncompromised, meaning it's that real Hip Hop. Rusty Hornz.

T.LA ROCK PLEASE

run DMC did breaking bells better to me

Expose how L.L.Cool J stole T la Rock's whole look and image!
