Grandmaster Flash Concert Tickets

Grandmaster Flash (born Joseph Saddler on January 1, 1958 in Barbados) is a hip hop musician and DJ; one of the pioneers of hip-hop DJing, cutting, and mixing. Saddler's family migrated to the United States, and he grew up in the Bronx. He became involved in the earliest Queensbridge, New York DJ scene, attending parties set up by early luminaries.

Sound: You ought to know, really, but Grandmaster Flash is a pioneer of the turntables. But why review hip-hop on a guitar website? Well, there are some very funky and elaborate bass lines - ideal for those who slap or pop. Also, many of the synthesized sounds can be re-produced on a guitar. His sound is very old skool, funky, techno, garage all blended into one. It's 100 times better than any of the new rappers or R'n'B you hear. The three cds have cuts from different times - i.e...

Today's hip-hop scene; although, extremely advanced technologically, is littered with so-called "D.J.'s" who own a laptop and have downloaded Serato Scratch Live. Those who are not familiar with Serato, it is a computer program that allows time manipulation and playback of digital audio files so that you can mix live without hauling around crates of records until your back gives out. The use of Serato should be a privilege; received after years of dedication, awarded by Grand Master Flash...

The press release accompanying "The Bridge" describes the CD in my hand as the "first [new] studio album in 20 years" from Grandmaster Flash. Has it really been that long? It depends on how you're counting or who you ask. In 1988 Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five released a reunion album titled "On the Strength" which was received poor reviews but has managed to go gold in the intervening years...

I was and am rooting for Flash, Creole, and Rahiem--they have good hearts, and from the Fats Waller cover and the way "Iko Iko" sneaks scratch-style into the lead cut, you can tell they're trying...

Grandmaster Flash is usually most often associated with rap classics White Lines and The Message, but the man born as Joseph Saddler had little to do with their writing or recording. Instead, it is the hip-hop pioneers staggering turntable skills, as evinced on The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel that have cemented his place in B-Boy hearts and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

For all of the hip-hop landmarks to see the light in 1988-- It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back , By All Means Necessary , Straight Outta Compton , Critical Beatdown , Long Live the Kane , The Great Adventures of Slick Rick -- one detail that often goes overlooked is the fact that it was also the year Grandmaster Flash released his last LP, briefly reuniting with Melle Mel to drop the commercially disappointing On the Strength ...

The tipping point for hip-hop as a valid form of pop expression was, without a doubt, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's platinum 1982 single, "The Message." No getting around that ? seven minutes of ghetto reality set to an unforgettable synth hook and framed by a steady beat that, coupled with the harsh lyrics, brought dance floors down to a head nod and made listeners focus on the group's tales of the street...

As he proves once again on Essential Mix, Grandmaster Flash can make the most classic record bend to his will. The whole of this mix CD is simply greater than the sum of its parts. And believe me, the parts are great, from the bell-rocking groove of Blondie's "Rapture" to the confection of Denroy Morgan's "I'll Do Anything for You" and the dark, funky abyss of Liquid Liquid's "Cavern...
