Essential Rap Album! October 2, 2002
Steven C. (San Francisco, CA)
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
"Don't push me, 'cos I'm close to the edge..."pIn America, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were the ones who turned the nation onto rap music and this album was the vehicle to do so. pSure other raps songs had come before like "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang and "The Breaks" by Kurtis Blow, but the single "The Message" coverted a lot of people to fans of rap music; not only in urban areas but also in the suburbs. Shortly thereafter, Run-DMC came onto the scene and rap exploded. pThis album was the first successful rap album. Songs like "The Message", "It's Nasty (Genius of Love)" and "Scorpio" blew up. These songs received heavy radio airplay and RB chart success. (Critics didn't know how else to catagorize it as there were no rap charts at the time.) In fact, every song received airplay except for "Dreamin'" and "You Are."pThe album is superb and you cannot call yourself a true rap fan, historian or claim to have a great rap CD collection without this absolute gem in it. pBecause of this album, Grandmaster Flash became the most well-known DJ ever and later landed a job on the critically-aclaimed Chris Rock Show on HBO.
