Solocypher's Hip Hop Christmas Countdown 1979-2011 - Number 29 - Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5- The Message (1982)

The hip hop police should take a fresh listen to this...original music from the people with a message. Melle Mel's immortal line; broken glass, every where...still rings through my head when ever I see those tell tale shining fragments signalling urban decay even in the London streets of 2011...The Furious 5 deserve even more credit as apparently it was member Cowboy who actually coined the term 'Hip Hop' itself while scatting. Respect due.

Respect ya elders

First up, get listening to the latest Cro show here cause just the first jam, Juice Aleem with Moorish Delta's Cipher and Blackitude "Straight Outta BC" bumps rediculous, big up Brum city for definite...swiftly followed by Jehst's feeding time at the zoo...nice!

As to the title topic, just found this rebuff aimed at loose tongued Joe Budden from the legendary Melle Mell...check the end, some funny shit!
