- In this VladTV exclusive, Hip Hop pioneer Melle Mel sat down and detailed his entire story as one of Hip Hop's most important voices. He described growing up in the Bronx during the crack era before explaining how "Rapper's Delight" influenced him and The Furious Five to hit the studio. Mel also described the making of the legendary "The Message" and explained why it's the most important rap song in Hip Hop history. Later, he told the story of how Furious Five member Cowboy coined the "Hip Hop" term and why he believes today's rappers are the biggest culture vultures. To hear more and his thoughts on Eminem, Biggie, and Jay-Z, check out the rest of the interview above.
I am very impressed with Melle Mel's intelligence and just his common sense approach to most situations. I'm a 52 year old white man and I grew up in a city where we had three black guys that went to our highschool. Back then break dancing and Graffiti with the DJ made it to that city. One of my first 12 inch vinyls was the message and The Furious Five meets the treacherous three. The Message would come on at the teen club that we had in that all white city. So rock would play most of the night and then about every hour for 10 to 15 minutes the DJ would play The Gap Band and Midnight Star NO PARKING ON THE DANCE FLOOR AND FREAKAZOID. I used to breakdance with a friend of mines that was really good. Crazy now that the internet is here all those memories can be verified, Great times. Melle Mel is a legend in this game. He should be honored more often. These greedy ass rappers today should get together and take care of these fathers of Hip Hop. Not hard to do at all.
Well said Curtiss 💯💯💯
yeah yeah word-up son I feel you, I'm not from NY I'm from cali I look at Hip Hop same way, people like you address Hip Hop history right we need to learn from y'all...my nationality is African when I came to America I was 13 years old back in the 90s 1992 I grew up on violent hip hop genre I couldn't relate to it cuz is black music we don't fit in and I didn't understand the situation of racism in hip hop music like (Public Enemy) for example and many many more all these rappers music delivers hateful messages....this an't real son smh the only rap I look up to nowadays is 50 cent because he paves away in Hip-Hop who's real who's fake....sucka-az-n****'s😆😂😂
A lot of the most prominent graff artists in NY - especially The Bronx - were Puerto Rican and even some whites (Italian - Irish - Jewish).... Break dancing Puerto Ricans featured prominently also
@@Amidat Man da Puerto Ricans are the heart of Hip Hop yo, in my personal opinion I think they do it better than blacks...and if all y'all made a big collabos like the whites the Irish the Jewish and Italians just putting it down for hip hop.... smh y'all gonna outnumber the blacks its murda shmurda
@@dmksaramengistupublic enemy didn't have no hateful message if you don't know the music don't speak on it Nicca . Talk about that booty scratch bs you listen to bih axx nicca
"Hip hop isn't for the streets, hip hop is for the people"
- Melle Mel
Legendary quote
Timestamp for that? Found it!! 1:30:08
I try to explain that hip hop has to uplift, inform, and embrace. All of the battling and derogatory bs, with promotion of violence goes against what hip hop was initially born from.
Godly quote!
Peace brother 🙏
Heavy!
Mel is a real OG and he speaks like one with wisdom and integrity along with intelligence
Ilmao as he broke it down.
This is a real interview
@@demetriusrousseau7919 lol
Mel is a real bitter OG! So sad
@@robertverduzco2406 you're confused if that's what you got from this interview (so sad)
This interview needs to have over a billion views. He is dropping gems throughout this whole interview. I'm giving him his flowers 💐 right now.
I agree bro its a diamond
Peace brother 🙏
I remember meeting him in the 90s. I was n da Bronx with my cousin when he was passing thru the hood. My cousin was like Yo Mel come listen to my cousins shit. He had Akbars Groove cued up in the headphones. Melle Mel popped the headphones in and listened to my song. He smiled and gave the nod of approval. I got stamped by one of my childhood heroes! That was a day I Never forgot
Man this was one of the best interviews Vlad ever did... Mr Melle Mel has my respect now. Glad i found him now.
Melle mel all time greatest pioneer of social conscious hip hop
Not after that diss track😅😅😅
Nothing will EVER outdo the final verse of The Message in terms of cadence, storytelling and painting a timeless & visceral mental image of the pain of poverty. Rap has gotten more intricate over the years but these guys set the standard.
And he makes some damn good points here. Wow. We need a biopic or documentary stat.
Continue to speak on it!!
Disconnect the gang affiliated and street cats not about music.Thats the intricacy we need first.
This comments needs 10 k likes
That verse on beat street breakdown was the greatest ever
Its the pinnacle of an era that piece . tiz a masterpiece without flash The not so good DJ still would of been the most real and authentic bars of that era. they just got a little lost with the leather n jerry curl. ha it was late 70's
PROPS TO VLAD for this interview with the LEGENDARY GRANDMASTER MELLE MEL.
Him and DJ KOOL HERC deserve royalties from hip hop for what they did and contributed
Grandmaster flash wants all the credit for basically doing absolutely nothing
Peace brother 🙏
@@michaelbrooker7043 Dont say that.... Flash did legendary shit.
This guy is a fkn genius. He’s the Bronx Dalai Lama. And musically I’m a metal dude. Grew up in the ghetto around rap hip hop. And it’ll always be close to my heart. But the shit this guy says is just phenomenal. I was a fan before now I’m just star struck with him. Truly one of the best of the best in music.
Peace brother 🙏
🤦🏽
He's full of shit.
Actually, he's not...
Dalai Lama was a slaveholder... nah don't use that
As a 50 year old fan of rap, Melle Mel was the 1st rapper that I was a fan of. The Message changed the game.
FACTS
He's one of the coolest guys I've ever met, me and my dad met him after a show in Edinburgh Scotland. Got invited back stage for a drink and he had a fridge full of buckfast, if you know what that is then you'll know it's no joke. Great guy though, thanks Mel for taking photos and signing my poster, a true legend in the game!!
Peace brother 🙏
"You can have a beef in hip hop for a year and a half and nothing happens" 🤣😂🤣😂 True story Mel
That's why I tell some dudes in some of these forums.. Don't get caught-up in the hype!! 99% of it is for attention.
10-year beefs!
"If u live a shitty life, but only got 1 day left, you look at shit different" that's a profound statement !!!
Melle Mel dropped jewels in this interview about gun violence, hip hop beef and other hot topics. He needs to be back on Vlad soon. Hopefully people can learn from this interview.
@Whole Lotta Slatt Hopefully he comes back.
Exactly!!
@@avecentralmusicpublishing9716 👏🏻
@@KD_SWAGGER Much Appreciated
@@avecentralmusicpublishing9716 👍🏻
This is a true man of men. I’ve never heard such a nicely worded truth of how people should actually be. This is one smart fkin dude equal to treasure.
Speak on it!!
This is one of the greatest VLAD TV interviews ever. Melle Mel the G.O.A.T. period. Thank you for this interview. Blessed to be old enough to see rap start from the beginning with this man being the blue print from which all came from. This was truly "The Message". Required viewing for the young bucks out there. History and life lessons!!!
Peace brother 🙏
Yo grew up in the eighties born in 74 and as a white boy everyone frowned upon p funk and hip hop when that’s what I loved. Sitting for hours listening to the records looking at the album covers. Love listening to their history in the game. So much love and respect for the pioneers. Would give a million dollars to sit down and cut it up with these cats.
I feel you... Same exact thing I would do.. lock myself in my room to play my records and entertain myself looking at and reading the covers...
It's so true, as a girl, I was shamed for loving rap, and people trying to talk me out of it. They would all say why would such a nice girl like you want to listen to rap, it's not even music. Even our slang which we were heavily criticised for using, instead of the King’s English when speaking with our peers. My 4th grade teacher marked up my essay with criticism all because I compared rap to Shakespeare. I saw the similarities in them, there was a notion that Shakespeare was so hard to understand that you must be highly intelligent to understand it, not true. As long as I had a good dictionary with etymology to find the meaning of done words which can change over time. Similarly, with rap if you were never exposed to the slang, one would not be able to understand the slang and references to people and places in our neighborhoods. Case in point LL’s At the Bristol if you grew up in Jamaica Queens or went to school there you know where and what he is talking about. Of course maybe a very general idea, but in the 80’s during the crack era gives it a more potent idea of what that place was known for. If people today listen and do t gully understand it does not mean they are dumb, they just weren't there to really get the gist. He had no argument to disprove my statement. I was so mad, spent the rest of the school year warring.on him with my pen. I laugh now, but those things we're hurtful, intimating that I was not intelligent, and less of a nice girl be ause I loved music.
@@Msboochie2 Crazy how we had to suffer for what we loved. All for the good of it. Now look at today.
I was born in 74 and my dad had a rock band he hated rap lol so I used to get punished and made fun of especially if it had explicitly in it it was sooo frowned upon in the 80,s if you live in a small town and white but I still love rap I'd say Nipsey inspired me as well I love that dude
Ice cube did it on check yo self everyone else has lol copied this track they should be paid for the track any and every time it's aired
Melle Mel, I appreciate you giving Cowboy his props and acknowledging him as being the cornerstone of the group. I always thought you held that position.
I just watched this the second time Vlad.This is definitely one of my favorite interviews you have ever done.All rappers,and rap fans should watch this,and educate themselves on hiphop history. Please have Grandmaster Melle Mel on as a regular guest.
This is packed with gems for any hip-hop head or sensible person that's about the culture. A lot of this won't land to idiots. Salute Melle Mel!
Shout out to the few that understand
Just cuz he's a OG wit swag he understands HIP HOP cuz he's a legend and pioneer Checkmate
P
True! I liked Pop Smoke but look at how short lived being hooked up with the street gets you.Dead!!! Alot of rappers starting with this gang crap hanging with the gang gang is getting many many rappers killed.FATHER OPEN OUR EYES.ITS CLEAR TO SEE.Pop Smoke didn't need the gang or nothing just a bunch of guys who he was down with not gang affiliated and still been a great success and alive today!!! Rappers stop getting twisted up.Rappers don't let those dudes hang around you nor leave the residue for the next generation in music.This is music!!!!!!!
Vlad is one of them idiots that didn't get it. Either that or he didn't care like he started out saying
This is honestly, one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Lots of truth!
Melle ,one of hip hop's greatest rap poets.
This interview is probably the most hip hop interview. Mel basically broke down the problem with hip hop. Love this brother!!!
“The Message” is timeless...
The story may have happening in New York City. But it's also the same thing in Chicago like broken glass everywhere.
I grew up in The Bronx, I was in my freshman year in HS, even the white boys were bopping to this song.
@Arian Kolton so the fuck what! If u gotta spy on the bish, she ain't really your girl
Absolutely!!
I still got the LP..
Classic/Timeless
This interview is critical to the people. What Melle Mel is saying here is worth more than gold. This is very important for young black men in the hood to listen to.
Will they hear the message?
Who else has been waiting on the full interview?
Facts...I HATE CLIPS but I get it tho
Definitely me. I only watch one clip but other than that, I rather see the full interview
Melly Mel is a house guy
It's litteraly 5$ a month. 😳. Niggas 😪😒
I love listening to Melle Me. He's honest. And he's legitimate. He is the greatest of all time.
If you never knew what "Keeping it Real" meant, watch this interview!! 🖤
This ought to be mandatory viewing for kids the world over. Got a lot of respect for this gentleman.
Exactly!!!....
Ask yourself.. waay back when you were a little kid did you want to think and act like your grandpa? Lol
of course not
you wanted to be one of the cool kids
and the cool kids dont think and act like senior citizens Lol
Havent been into hip-hop since early 90s , but damn how cool this interview is.
I know right. Only if hip-hop could have stayed in the hands of cats like this, could you imagine. They're definitely be a lot less dead people in the industry and on the streets
Who disliked this!!??
Mel is kicking all kinds of knowledge.
Listen up youngsters. He's trying to save you.
A bunch of Lil Nas x fans
The street dudes dislike
Why y’all always worry about dislikes?
The most inspirational, truthful shit I've heard in a long time, ol boi still spreading the message, thanku very honored to just hear a true master of the craft speak
As Death Metal guy, this is my favorite rapper of all time, what an entertainer.
After listening to Melle Mel, you get an idea of what reall hip hop is. This guy breaks it down.
You mean what hip hop “was”. Mel is a legend and a pioneer who put hip hop on the map but his problem is that he’s gotten old and bitter. Just accept rap for what it’s evolved into. NWA made rap mainstream and planted the seed for the best era of hip hop that came next.
@@Bonescratcher Mainstream Hip Hop is mostly dead. He doesn't see every detail clearly but i thought his overall thoughts were a fresh breath of air compared to what i hear people rap about or talk about the subject.
Smartest and MOST important figure in Hip Hop THEN and NOW ... I grew up a B-Boy in the early 80's listening to Melle Mel and the associated acts of that period. It was over for me by the time Run DMC arrived ... I saw the entire scene change and the attitude change with it. Everything Melle Mel says here about how upside down the industry is is 100% spot on ... Hip Hop today isn't worth spit ...
What do you mean over for you?
This Is One Of The Realest Interviews On Hip-Hop.......Pay Close Attention People........Salute To Melle Mel. 💪😎🙏🔥
Peace brother 🙏
Super truth indeed
Yes it is🎯
No man is above another man and no man is better than another man. Sorry, I'll listen to this wonderful individual who belongs in every conversation about hip hop but just because he is one of the greats doesn't mean his opinions are factual.
Mollie Mel is solid
Melle dropped some serious gems 💎 in this interview. His music gave me hope! One of my favorite MC’s of all time!
This dude was my inspiration to rhyme!!! Salute to the Grandmaster!!! 💪🏿
Thank God for someone finally telling the truth about the facade of " Street dudes/ Street life "
Mel “is” hip hop .. these cats today are wanna be’s and wanna look tough for some female who ain’t gonna care tomorrow bout you !!
He also spread some facts on these educated dudes that all they do is talk
I could name 50 incredibly good emcees, BUT to be GREAT...you have to change the game. Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Public Enemy, N.W.A., Tupac, Biggie, KRS One, even Das Efx....those cats changed the game....but this man here...GrandMaster/Teacher Melle Mel.......HE INVENTED THE GAME. Salute to the LegendMaker!!!!
@Jesse West: Indeed my guy, he is the SUN that shines forever. He set the template cadence wise, and some who are in the know would call him the prototype.
Wow, is this Jesse West the mc, 3rd Eye, producer of KRS Step Into A World, and 24//7?
This man created a genre....Conscious rap.....who can touch him.....hands down.......Melle Mel....The Greatest of all time...Stop it!
Even the man's interview is legendary.
And i like the way vlad don't interrupt unlike drinkchamps
He's really got so many valid points, its true that they dont make them like that anymore
He has an actual personality and doesn't live every moment as if it's social media clickbait nor pretends to be "HARD."
This interview is legendary....I could listen to Melle Mel speak all day🎤
My BFF & I partied with Grandmaster Flash & Furious 5 in the 80s and got a promo copy of The Message. Great guys, very down to earth and nice. The song is a CLASSIC 💙
What an interview ... Words of wisdom from a Founding Brother of HipHop. I learnt a whole heap and my HopHop ethic has been strengthened. Much love and respect 🙏🏾
Melle Mel is great. I'm a Big fan. Met this brother during one work week riding the subway train with my peoples coming from the Bronx. Coming from Bronx community where we worked at. I asked him for an autograph I didn't have nothing to write on except a napkin and he signed the napkin. It's crazy but I express to him that he was my biggest role model.
@MARLON REDHEAD: ONE TIME MEL CAME THRU TO 155ST RUCKER PARK AND A GUY ASKED HIM 4 A AUTOGRAPH AND MEL SAID " WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO SIGN IT WITH A. X ? I NEED A PEN". LOL. HE IS THE G.O.A.T. WITHOUT QUESTION.
This is mandatory education for all aspiring rappers.
All of that part!!
and for all those aspiring to be Human. Peace!
✍🏼
Sure is
Im about to track down every Mel interview on the internet and listen. His 360 perspective is refreshing!
The Message was 1982, the pinnacle of HIPHOP which meant Higher Infinite Power Helping Our People
1982, even tho I was 9 or 10 depending on the month, was the best fucking year ever for music.
That’s a Major Key and Fact Bro, Mark My Words if God’s Will I’m a bring it back.
Hip Hop was never an acronym. Nice try 😊😊
Education of Sonny Larson is one of the best movies around ...the soundtrack is a masterpiece
@@jamesbnadaparati352 Sonny Carson?
I'm so glad to watch this interview, the first rap song I ever heard was"White Lines" .Melle Mel is the reason I became a Hip Hop fan, he's true Hip Hop royalty, it's because of him that a lot of people have careers, he paved the way for those who came after him.
I forgotten about white lines seriously well written and real 👌💯
This is by far the best Vlad interview. Mel speaking knowledge for the younger generation that’s why he’s the 🐐
Vlad: Who are the top 5 greatest MCs?
Melle: Me first and whoever else you put behind me. 💯
That part
Ok i give him his credit but he aint even top 25 his ego could fill the largest stadium / arena
@@jasonhobbs1345 seems like you didn’t listen to the interview
@@jasonhobbs1345 for his time and era he is definitely top 5
MOST Classic Hip-hop Interview EVER
💪💪💪
He really explained the greatest of all time better than I ever heard.
I really like melly Mel’s frame of mind. So grown, so respectful, so knowledgeable and humble as a pioneer of hip hop. Much respect king.
The message is 1 of the best song in Hop Hop History salute Melle Mel ✌🏽
The Message, simply put, is THEE greatest rap song ever created
For sure. Never was surpassed and never will.
As a resident OG I can dispute this but it is the pivot point of hip hop
You may be right.
One of the most influential hip-hop songs ever.
Facts
This interview needs more views
Probably the best interview i have ever heard with my beloved brother Mele Mel.Great job Vlad.Salute...
“The Message is timeless...”
1hunna
Jah no staaaarr
Never forget seeing /hearing that, WAR-Lowrider, Rick James on Soul Train first time like 78'. Lol. 8yrs old. Recognized somehow the cool vibe feel that it was already.🎯😎🎶🥶❄️
I feel like being taken back to the source. To the dawn of Hip Hop..right where it all started. A big thank you for this Video! And a salute to Melle Mel.
Melle Mel is the new Lord Jamar.
I know we all love to hate on Vlad but you gotta admire his power moves. Jamar quits and Vlad literally finds his more senior, impactful OG
Yh I believe Melle Mel is more impactful than Lord Jamar. But I think Vlad will only discuss hip hop-related matters with Mel. With Lord Jamar, Vlad discussed EVERYTHING haha but we'll wait and see Jike.
Melle Mel is Melle Mel....Thats it!!!
@Whole Lotta Slatt go somewhere with that b.s. I live in NY and Jamar and Brand Nubian got a lot of love. “ Punks jump up “ and “ Wake Up “ were bangers just to name a couple.
Martin Lawrence used to use their music in his show all the time. WTF are you talking about?
@Whole Lotta Slatt you dont know anything bro..lord jammar is a very important part of brand nubian and he still gets props for his contributions..just listen to brand nubians second lp and stop slurping ems kak
@Whole Lotta Slatt Brand Nubian was very respected in NYC, Jamar and X earned their individual respect as a duo. Lord Jamar was one of those early rappers to find success in acting. He was an integral part of elevating Vlad’s platform. Now he is doing great interviews on his platform. His interviews are from an MC’s perspective, true hip hop heads will appreciate.
One of my favorite VLAD interviews of all time. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and telling the truth MelleMel.
The greatest MC to ever live. The Ali of MCing
The Michael Jordan of rap
One of The Kings!
Big Daddy Kane and Rakim! Kool Moe Dee and Melle Mel! Generational Kings
Only MC that will never die
This nigga is not the greatest, IDC how influential he was. Rakim, BDK, KRS One all better and more conscious. Even Nas, MOS DEF, Talib Kweli, Guru, GZA are better MCs in my opinion.
The legend dropped gems in this video, peace be with him he got good energy.
Not crazy about Vlad, Melle Mel is my dude!! My era!! ☮️
Vlad has to do most of the talking even though he is the interviewer
He should get royalties from every damn rapper since the late 70's.
Him & grandmaster flash who put him on.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
i get the sentiment... but nah
Makes no sense
If the reports of his net-worth being $1.5 million are true, it’s a travesty that many mumble rappers are worth more.
Rakim said that grand Master caz melle mel kool mo Dee including jazz artist from the past were definitely one of his many influences as an Emcee
Melle Mel, MADD RESPECT. I was just saying that, "The Message," is undoubtedly the most important song ever in hip-hop history. It's kind of a disconnect for a lot of younger people, especially if your not from a major American city, to understand the impact of this song, especially around that particular when it was released. The Bronx was ground zero in N.Y.C. for the heroin and crack epidemic; nothing as relevant to current times has been put out since. Thanks for helping birth this hip-hop culture, no matter how many fake thug talentless wannabee street dudes have perverted it, as of today. They can't hold a torch, let alone a flame next to the O.G.'s. Shout out to Raheim, he was my neighbor for awhile in Queens.
We are in dire need of OGs like this in the 🌎 luv from Chiraq💯💯💯
Before they turned Hip-Hop to Rap, remember that! The true pioneers- the Legends that don't recede-like Rakim, created a timeless arc in this musical and cultural Art form. Rakim is possibly the only MC left who can apply his own peerless flow and erudition TODAY, with equal parts poetry and equal parts musicality. Melle Mel would also bring the same muscle memory back to the centre. Salute to all the Greats. Respect to the majestic Grandmaster of Hip- Hop, Melle Mel.
Rakim and KRS-One
last standing
The best interview I’ve seen. So much wisdom, and the best of what hip hop was supposed to be.
Respect to a pioneer, founder, and legend of the artform that I love so much 💪🏽
Dope interview,I'll admit i think I'm going to move around my top 10 a little bit,he made me think of what a real mc is about. Always knew of him but didn't realize he was basically the first,and he's the only one who said he could beat Em and didn't get Stan attacked lol..they even got respect,and rightfully so. Legend
💯💯💯
Hey Jevon check out the hip hop evolution and the get down on Netflix. Very great shows and also knowledgeable.. I learned a lot from melle Mel,

So Melle Mel was really out before rappers delight
@@anthonybaker7433 I didn't say He was
Incredible interview Vlad. Mel dropped gems on top of gems here. A lot of heads will take issue with the facts he dropped here and that only proves him right. ✊
Vlad, I hope you realize that this is the best interview you have ever done. You should re-post at least a few times a year. A great MC will truly change Hip-Hop, Like Melle Mel Did.
I had to watch this twice ! Excellent thought provoking logic and dissemination of knowledge dropped here. Grand Master Melle Mel , the best teacher of all !
One of Vlad's best interviews. Mel is keeping it 100 and dropping real knowledge for mofos to follow if they're smart. Stay out the streets and focus on the beats. On top of that, he's got lengendary MC status. You look at videos of him back in the day he was like an MC / rock star / poet / playa combo. Mad ahead of his time. Always makes me a bit sad when I see a guy with Mel'stalent and the living those guys were able to make when rap was in its infancy, compared to mediocre dudes nowadays making silly dough for weak rhymes.
Hip Hop owes this dude a lot!!
The real father of hip hop respect to Melle Mel I love hip-hop so much tears are flowing on my eyes right now it changed my life it gave me hope…
The Message will always be considered the greatest rap song of all time
😭😭😭 this is the most refreshing, powerful, truthful perspective in hip hop and culture. God bless this man and interview.
Respect to the legend! Let’s bring positivity and fun back to hip hop. ✌🏾
PREACH MEL PREACH! BEST INTERVIEW EVER! EVERYTHING HE SAID IS REALEVENT AND ON POINT...PERIOD!
This man is a fuckin’ inspiration. Absolute inspiration. All young folks should listen closely.
