Dam, I still have this, New York, New York, The Message, Rappers Delight, Apache, Freedom, Birthday Party, and others on the original Sugarhill Records 33-1/3 albums, in the original light blue covers!!! Man, I’m old!!! 😂😂😂
Thanks to TH-cam this is my 1st time ever seeing this video... damn this takes me way to the house party days when nobody brought a gun when fights broke out....
really cool ... hey i know it's the furious 5 .. but why or who is that 6th guy in the front during this video. i know melle mel, scorpio aka mr. ness, rhaheem, cowboy, kid creole ... but that other guy? what name am i missing?
We were on our high-school class trip-Martin Luther King HS Phila Pa Stenton and Haines street- i pulled out my year book- Memory Lane!! When this song came on we went crazy!!❤❤
No, rappers today choose not to do this because it's pretty hard to pass a serious message when you sound like you're a kid jumping around in a bouncy castle.
Lol if this shit was made today, you and many others would be out here calling it gay as fuck boy band shit. The fact that it's old doesn't make it any less Backstreet Boys. You want real hip hop, go listen to some KRS-One or Rakim.
The 7th member you see was more of an honorary member. Kevie Kev AKA Waterbed Kev. He's right in the middle between Scorpio and Raheim. He was in the Fantastic Freaks crew, Grand Wizard Theodore...
@@RoseMarieMullins L To R - Cowboy (Who i thought had arguably the greatest voice in Hip Hop - RIP) Kid Creole, Raheim, Kevie Kev/Waterbed Kev, Scorpio/Mr.Ness, Melle Mell & in the back DJ Grandmaster Flash
Every so often I come back to this just to feel the euphoria of a nostalgic moment. To have been blessed to be a product of hearing this, dancing to this , knowing every lyric, and wanting to be "The furious 6th member", this video takes me to a musical paradise, and a place in time when The Party was a party and Music was music !
Same here but in Santa Cruz, California NO one was rockin this, haha! Times would soon change. Hip Hop was changing weekly. It was an exciting time to be into this new music!
Shizz these guys came to utah 1985 at a car show i was amazed my homeboy was able to get them here Melle mel they don't fuck around they just do it I don't know how much they got paid but they killed it I listen to them all the time that's coming from a OG here in Utah lol
Why are they calling out Slick Rick at the end? This was released circa 1982. Slick Rick was only getting started (according to what I can find online) in 1984, when he was in a talent show. Prior to that, he was performing in parks, school contests, and the like. He may have been known to members of GMF+FF, but is that enough on its own to be mentioned in a song? Or is the song making reference to a different Slick Rick?
BREAKING NEWS: On November 30, 2021, TBSN: The Black Sportz network will present Lifetime Achievement Awards to Grand Master Flash and The Furious Five as part of Cold Chillin' Weekend. The ceremony will take place in New York City. TBSN is the intersection of sports and hip hop and will be broadcasting LIVE action games on TV and radio and streaming in 2022.
Towards the end of the song, is this where Slick Rick aka MC Ricky D get the ideal for his stage name? Also, we can’t gloss over the fact that Melle Mel might be the first rapper to mix two languages in a rhyme before it was cool.
I fkn love this shit. "Do it to the east do it to the west" real pioneer shit right there. Bc they did it. N the grandmaster flash hype up. That guy made rap happen. Can we agree tht grandmaster flash is the bill gates of hiphop n rap music in general?
My kids are a bit younger than you and they only like retro stuff, creativity is long gone. It sucks you missed out on all the magic.. The 80s were an awesome time to be alive! But on the bright side, gems like this are at your fingertips thanks to modern tech. My generation had to wait around in record stores lol. ✌️
@@EllaJay that's cool that you're kids like the old stuff to I wish I was around growing up back then back when hip hop was hip hop and rap was rap music today just sucks I'm from Australia so I wouldn't really get to go all the old hangout spots in the US
The silence for the first 10 seconds was hilarious though. I thought it was a freeze frame until Cowboy started adjusting his vest LOL.
Dam, I still have this, New York, New York, The Message, Rappers Delight, Apache, Freedom, Birthday Party, and others on the original Sugarhill Records 33-1/3 albums, in the original light blue covers!!! Man, I’m old!!! 😂😂😂
yup i got this one too!
Worth some
Coin !
Folk have slept on these masters of the mic. And I say this is still among the best raps ever, in all kinds of ways!
so glad for youtube which allows us to be able to see this on demand today.
THIS VIDEO IS SO SIMPLE BUT YET SO VERY EFFECTIVE
Thanks to TH-cam this is my 1st time ever seeing this video... damn this takes me way to the house party days when nobody brought a gun when fights broke out....
Grandmaster's Flash beats are out of them times !

@@BTman58 Amazing sample that he used.
@@sjsiemka
This song was re-recorded with live instruments. This is pre sampling.
@@BTman58 Oh damn! That's cool!
This is where it is all started with groups like this,gotta love it
THE Sugar hill gang started it of the hip hop 78 or 79 . Nobody should never forget them .❤
so great to be able to see this today old footage today
Just looking at the video, you can tell they was the flyest thing smoking back then! 🙌🏾
grew up with these guys. RIP Keith

The 6th member that’s rapping is Duke Bootee he passed away
@@ricardotorres4150 Duke bootee is not 6th member he is 9th member.
@@WaterfrontEnt The 6th guy is Waterbed Kev aka Kevie Kev from the Fantastic Five. He rocked with the Furious Five for a brief period
@@ricardotorres4150 Kevie Kev from the Fantastic Five not Duke Bootee
feel cool and hanging around, just possible with this old stuff.
80s forever
PS: 70s forever
We were on our high-school class trip-Martin Luther King HS Phila Pa Stenton and Haines street- i pulled out my year book- Memory Lane!! When this song came on we went crazy!!❤❤
😂😂😂 also from Philly, from south west and was in the 4th grade at this time ❤️😊
The way they flowed and rhymed in the early 80’s so effortless and smooth. Rappers today can't match it.
Chuck D left them *ALL* in the dust
@@sexobscura 😂😂😂
I knoww!!!!!! So good!
@@sexobscura yep, Moe D and Rakim too
No, rappers today choose not to do this because it's pretty hard to pass a serious message when you sound like you're a kid jumping around in a bouncy castle.
Man they were rocking! Had all the steps down and everything.
The real old school hip hop
this is real hip hop
You right this is real hip-hop
as are many other things
Lol if this shit was made today, you and many others would be out here calling it gay as fuck boy band shit. The fact that it's old doesn't make it any less Backstreet Boys. You want real hip hop, go listen to some KRS-One or Rakim.

Peksi Sarvinen have you ever watched hip hop evolution?
The 7th member you see was more of an honorary member. Kevie Kev AKA Waterbed Kev. He's right in the middle between Scorpio and Raheim. He was in the Fantastic Freaks crew, Grand Wizard Theodore...
Ok. Thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering who that was
Can you name the members from left to right (in the beginning)? I cant make them out because it's too grainy and I just discovered their music!

@@roboliver8789 thanks rob!
Thanks for that, I was wondering if it's GMF & TF5, why can I see 7 people 😂
Good stuff. I had a good friend Marcus, sounded just like Cowboy!
I remember the song but this is my first time ever seeing the video.
Never knew they had this video..gonna make everybody wanna rock rock rock
I shed tears of joy because of this!
This was the first RAP tune that turned ME CRAZY..I just LOVE it.. It's Nasty by Grand Master flash & furious five!!!

Naw bruh, he said the 6th member 🤣😭🤣😭🤣 = I feel you though
Crazy how many of their beats are classics and still get used in song until today
Give credit to The Tom Tom Club, which GMF sampled.
@@katsrin they recreated it live and made changes
Thanks for that info.
Que relíquia ,verdadeiro hip hop,fã brasileiro direto de são paulo 2019.
Bought this When it first came out - Baltimore was rocking this hard from east side to west side and Druid Hill park to Patterson park !

03:27 The guy that starts rappin is Cowboy who coined the term Hip Hop, while imatiting a group of soldiers marching by hip/hop/hip/hop/hip/hop
Lucas Avesta he did not coin the term hip hop
Lucas Avesta Sugarhill gang
Yes it was cowboy that coined the term and it was Africa Bambaataa that named hip hop with this word.
Lucas Avesta bro this song came out in 1982 the sugar hill Gang rappers delight came out 1979 the COINED THE TERM HIP WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE???!
@@dwaynetoprolific5392 this is from 1978: th-cam.com/video/DR2Do-oFuAs/w-d-xo.html

What is the length of that original song?
Love the use of the genius of love by the Tom Tom club
…who diverted from their Talking Head path to go Tom Tom.
This is so dope we need more of this
This was punk rock/subversive/a threat at the time. New, without precedent. A privilege. The Black Beatles. Societally. ‘
Not made anymore
