4.0 out of 5 stars buyer beware : the release in 2000 was "beeped", December 26, 2006
By 
Hillbilly (Toronto Canada) - See all my reviews
this is a very good complilation of old school rap. This is good for the soul. Classic stuff. Caveat: the 2000 release was censored. Some tracks were 'beeped' on the the curse words. Just not acceptable. All they should do is put an advisory sticker on the package and let the buyer decide. Aside from the censoring, for which I docked a star, the music is amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This should be in all classrooms (and rap music collections), December 20, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Back To The Old School - Adventures On The Wheels Of Steel (Audio CD)
This box set is the definitive collection of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's music. It has all the classics. It also has forgotten gems like "Step Off" and more recent releases like "Freestyle" and "Drug Wars." Unfortunately, it doesn't touch on Grandmaster Flash' Electra years ("Sign of the Times" and "Girls Love The Way He Spins" would have been nice additions). However, it more than makes up for this with classics missing from most compilations like "She's Fresh," "It's A Shame" and "Super Rappin'". The music of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, in their various formulations, influenced the music we listen to today more than any other group since the 1970's. Whether you're a fan of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, a fan of rap music in general, a music historian or someone who just wants to reminisce on the days when rap was still an underground culture, this is the CD collection for you. Hopefully, it will remain available for generations to come. The influence of their music definitely will.

5.0 out of 5 stars "RRRRRRRUAHH"!!, July 31, 2005
This review is from: Back To The Old School - Adventures On The Wheels Of Steel (Audio CD)
This here is the illest, most complete GMF & Furious 5 collection available on CD, period! no other comes close! Where else would you find the 1979 trk. originally released on ENJOY rcds. "SUPERAPPIN'" at? Or trks. from the super rare, impossible to find 1989 album "PIANO"? I didn't think so! It even has cuts from the BEAT-STREET sound track!! 'nuff said, cop it!!
