Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 is widely regarded as among the most influential hip hop acts. Their biggest single and acknowledged masterpiece "The Message" (1982) is often cited as one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time.

In 1983, Grandmaster Flash, who never appeared on any of the group's studio recordings, sued Sugar Hill Records for $5 million in unpaid royalties. The royalties dispute split the group, and Melle Mel left, soon followed by Mr. Ness/Scorpio and Cowboy after "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" was a hit.

Grandmaster Flash and his new "Furious Five" had hits with their three albums, which made it to the top fifty of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, whereas Melle Mel and his group fared better, most notably with the recording of "Beat Street Breakdown", which peaked at #8 in the R&B chart.


During this period, Melle Mel gained higher success, appearing in Chaka Khan's "I Feel for You", which won the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 1985.


In 1985, Melle Mel met Quincy Jones at the Grammys, and they began to collaborate for Back on the Block. This led to Mel being featured in the song "Back on the Block", which won him the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1991. He would pick up an additional Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album in 2002 for his contributions in Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones.

In 2002 The Message was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry, the first hip hop recording ever to receive this honor.

In 2007 they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, making them the first hip hop group ever to be inducted.

2Pac stans are on some woulda, coulda, shoulda. Their whole argument is, 'hypothetically if Death Row East existed...'.

The fact is that Death Row East doesn't exist. It never came to fruition.

The reality is that after Pac died and Suge went to prison Death Row released one more album thats noteworthy, namely the Makevelli album. Even Snoop bounced.

The reality is that after Big died Bad Boy continued to sell records. Bad Boy sold 30 million records in 1997 alone;

According to the RIAA, in 1997, Bad Boy sold over 30 million records in the U.S. alone;

• Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down (single) – Puff Daddy & Ma$e 4X Platinum

• Hypnotize (single) – Notorious B.I.G. – Platinum

• I’ll Be Missing You (single) – Puff Daddy & The Family – 3X Platinum

• Its All About The Benjamins (single) – Puff Daddy & The Family - Platinum

• Been Around The World (single) – Puff Daddy & The Family– 2X Platinum

• Life After Death (album) – Notorious B.I.G. 10X Platinum

• No Way Out (album) – Puff Daddy & The Family – 7X Platinum

• Harlem World (album) – Ma$e – 4X Platinum

Lol@ moving the goal post so I guess we're suppose to compare solo rappers wit groups??? Ya a delusional biggie Stan..

I don't understand what 2Pac and Death Row have to do with this thread.

Another thing I don't understand is why you're stating that Death Row was the biggest label in 1996. Why are you fixated on 1996?

1. Death Row East never existed.

2. If Death Row East did exist, it would have nothing to do with this thread. The purpose of the thread is to showcase some new music from the earliest rappers.

5 Grand thinks Trent Dilfer is better than Dan Marino

Exactly.... deathrow was a nationwide label wit artists from different places across the map like CA, VA, ny, Philly, Chicago & etc......bad boy was just a local ny east coast label n 96 bad boy was not fuking with no deathrow

I don't understand what 2Pac and Death Row have to do with this thread.

Another thing I don't understand is why you're stating that Death Row was the biggest label in 1996. Why are you fixated on 1996?

Trolling again......

I heard these 2 we're coming here ( VEGAS) a few days ago with some other heads.

That makes sense especially when melle mell & Scorpio was n the deathrow studio n 96 dissing big on the 1nation album on 'how many shots will it take'


I think they was going to sign to deathrow east n 96


If deathrow was so bad y was NY hip hop legends like melle mel & Scorpio; Eric b, big daddy Kane, run dmc & etc fuking wit deathrow n 96??? Deathrow east was real...


1. Death Row East never existed.

2. If Death Row East did exist, it would have nothing to do with this thread. The purpose of the thread is to showcase some new music from the earliest rappers.


Delusional biggie Stan...

1. Is a muthafukin lie...

I'm starting a label with Jay Z and Dr Dre called Boom Bap Records.

That's my plan, to start a label with Jay Z and Dr Dre. Our first album should come out in a few months.

Yes or No does Boom Bap Records exist?

All the potential Mel had and couldn't parlay it into anything ....... no classic album as part of the group ...... no solid solo career ...... no record label ...... no tv or movie career ..... no endorsements ........ nothing major. Just small things here and there over the years ....... dude still trying to make it in the rap game at dayum near 60 years old smh

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 is widely regarded as among the most influential hip hop acts. Their biggest single and acknowledged masterpiece "The Message" (1982) is often cited as one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time.

In 1983, Grandmaster Flash, who never appeared on any of the group's studio recordings, sued Sugar Hill Records for $5 million in unpaid royalties. The royalties dispute split the group, and Melle Mel left, soon followed by Mr. Ness/Scorpio and Cowboy after "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" was a hit.

Grandmaster Flash and his new "Furious Five" had hits with their three albums, which made it to the top fifty of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, whereas Melle Mel and his group fared better, most notably with the recording of "Beat Street Breakdown", which peaked at #8 in the R&B chart.


During this period, Melle Mel gained higher success, appearing in Chaka Khan's "I Feel for You", which won the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 1985.


In 1985, Melle Mel met Quincy Jones at the Grammys, and they began to collaborate for Back on the Block. This led to Mel being featured in the song "Back on the Block", which won him the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1991. He would pick up an additional Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album in 2002 for his contributions in Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones.

In 2002 The Message was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry, the first hip hop recording ever to receive this honor.

In 2007 they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, making them the first hip hop group ever to be inducted.


Bruh, thanks for the trip down 80's hip hop history lane ....... yet again.

But did ya' notice that every time you run off Melle Mel resume, all of his pioneer accolades are from him being attached to something ........

Will you be supporting ya' legend by buying this new song?

You didn't answer the question; Does my hypothetical record label exist?

20 years from now are people going to say my label would have been GOAT if it existed?

See how stupid you sound derailing the thread about a hypothetical Death Row East?
