Grandmaster Flash Talks "The Theory Of Being A Hop Hop DJ" & The Get Down On Netflix

[5 Grand]

Anybody that DOESN'T watch this isn't Hip Hop.

In all seriousness, your opinion can't be taken seriously if you won't take the time to watch this.

Yo... I lost my mind when Grandmaster Flash went ham on the beatbox like MPC masher AraabMUZIK at the end of the video...

Is there nothing the Grandmaster can't do?

I told you you'd like it...

He said he came up with the sampling style in 1968.... seriously? Damn. That's around the time King Tubby was dubbing reggae songs to make them into dub music, who I thought originated this process. Guess not.

There is a little bit of competition nowadays among the originators about who was "first".

Kool Herc and some of them other cats originally from Jamaica have a slightly different memory of history than Flash who was born in the Barbados (always a bit of competition between the islands...haha)...

Interesting that Afrika Bambaataa had one parent from Jamaica and one from Barbados but he was actually born in the Bronx unlike Herc and Flash... if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that style started from the dudes doing the "dubby" style in Kingston and it got exported to and perfected in New York...

Needless to say, Grandmaster Flash's influence on hiphop is indisputable.

Yeah a lot of it has to do with who's the better storyteller. There's not that many interviews with Kool Herc because he's just not a good storyteller.
