      He was. Probably one of my top 5 favorite actors in the show. Mamoudou Athie absorbed the knowledge so well. I am extremely impressed how much like him he became. This is actually the first time I've really listened to Grandmaster Flash and I was wondering if he was actually like how he is in the show and apparently that's true.

    • @tombstoneharrystudios584
      @tombstoneharrystudios584 Pƙed 4 lety +1

      Truth!
      It doesn't matter how flash you are, or how many scratches you know, or how many tricks you can do...if you are not getting the crowd on the floor and keeping them there, NONE of that matters
      A friend of a friend saw DJ Kool Herc play a set, he was surprised how 'basic' his chops were...a few baby scratches, the infamous Merry-Go-Round, and often just slamming from one cut to another. Sure, Herc can beatmatch, but my colleague saw little of that
      "No one cared! The floor was jumping and everyone was getting down!"

    My first rap album physically had was LL Cool J Radio. I was more intrigued with DJ Cut Creator scratching on the music. That made me become interested with the DJ. Putting music together creating a masterpiece. When I was able to The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash I went crazy. The DJ has always been the centerpiece. He was the leader. Leaders lead by how they put things together. You get the MC to put rhymes to a product. Today the DJ is blinded by being famous.

      They advanced the Art , but Melle Mel doing the Message can still destroy any song out & Flash can throw a party for Anyone on earth .
