    I'm so glad that Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five arrived when they did. If it were not for them, I wouldn't know what real rap music is today.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Today’s topic is Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

    Singing: Grandmaster Flash Grandmaster Flash

    Rapping: That rapper over there, I don't know his name Rap music today just ain't the same But I know the Flash can make a change With the Furious Five and all the gang.

    Singing 2x: Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five I'm so glad they arrived.

    Host: You're listening to a Needle House Recording Commentary Music Podcast.

    Grandmaster Flash and the Furios Five were a hip hop group formed in the South Bronx of New York City in 1978. The group’s members were Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Kidd Creole, Keef Cowboy, Scorpio, and Rahiem.

    I love the hip hop group because they know how to manipulate sounds and create new music using sound effects and beats with turntables and mixers. They have the scratch sounds. I love to hear their breakbeats where they use sample recordings from funk & R&B in their music. Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five knows how to rap about the street life without misleading the audience to violence. They know how to move the crowd to dance and have a good time when they rhyme.

    When I was growing up, the older folks would get on their young family members about rapping. They didn’t like it. They said it was all just noise.

    But I learned something about music listening to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. I learned how to stand up and make a speech with confidence. Rap music had all that in there.

    But a new generation came along in rap putting down women, and there was explicit lyrics and violence. Rap was a good thing, and it doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
    Thank you Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five for making rap a good thing. Thank you for all the good times in rap music.

    I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening. Tune in again next time. ..
