Editorial Reviews

We’ve reissued every pop music genre under the sun on our Collectors’ Choice Music label, but there remains one genre we haven’t touched: rap music! And, folks, though it may be hard to believe, it’s been 25 years since rap exploded on to the scene, so it’s high time we delved into this musical art form. Who better to start with, then, than the act that really broke rap into the mainstream, DJ/producer Grandmaster Flash, his rapping cohort, Grandmaster Melle Mel and the Furious Five?! These four albums aren’t just old school, they founded the school, and they’re here with new notes by Peter Relic that analyze their impact on pop culture and the impact fame had on these boys from the Bronx. Exclusively from Collectors' Choice!

This review is from: Melle Mel & Furious 5 (Audio CD)

Great album, unfortunately, the recording has a very low sound, the best songs are World War III, The New Adventures of Grandmaster and the Truth. This group has been one the best in the genre of rap/hip hop, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, becoming the first hip hop/rap artists to be so honored!!!
