Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five - The Message

Released in 1982, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five merged the Afrocentric consciousness expressed by such early rappers as Gil Scott-Heron and the Last Poets with b-boy production to create "The Message," an all-time rap anthem. It was the focal point of this LP, which also included "It's Nasty" and "Scorpio," two other strong cuts that might have been winners on their own. Unfortunately, rather than a starting point, this album proved to be their ultimate peak. It included the title track, 'The Message' frequently referred to as the greatest record in Hip-Hop history

Tracklist:

1. "She's Fresh" 4:57
2. "It's Nasty" 4:19
3. "Scorpio" 4:55
4. "It's a Shame" 4:57
5. "Dreamin'" 5:47
6. "You Are" 4:51
7. "The Message" 7:12

ENJOY!
