Grand Master Flash, Melle Mel and the Furious Five – The Best of: Message from Beat Street

This group made me start to branch out of my punk rock world and start to pay some attention to hip hop. They manage to pack a powerful message, seen in ‘The Message’, ‘New York New York’ and ‘White Line’, and also bring the party, ‘Freedom’ and ‘The Birthday Song’.

Early hip hop at it’s finest.
