in my opinion, the most important track and anthem in old school culture.
The Message is still GOAT.
I bought this album back in 1982.
I still have it Today, with album cover. No scratches on it.
🤔😲🙌🙏👍
Do you want to sale it, we'll give you $500.00 for it 🙏
My man, by that you are a true legend.
Same here..
I have 3 dollars
Best Rap song of all the time !.
Yes!!
One of the siccest beats ever
Nothing like that classic old school hip hop
After all of these years this song still applies to what we're dealing with in 2021!!
Let that sink in for a minute...& the fact that NOBODY has commented on it in response shows u how socially engineered the "sheeple" have been trained to not even notice all these years later🤔🙄😕😈
So true respect to your and stay safe and blessed my family ❤
time less facts -- and a sad truth.
To make 'The Message' relevant today, all Melle Mel needed to do was shoot scenes in the hoods adapting to the story line of the song showing that ain't nothing change. He would have not only been GOAT, but known as a Prophet.
Yup...💯 that would've been a good idea.
He sort of did it in M3
Facts! Expert opinion had me find this
Yeah, they shouldn’t have tried so hard to be “relevant” when the song is timeless.
Bro the song was good then. Like I'm literally trying to like but that flow is just too simple bruh.
The MESSAGE is the GIFT that keeps on GIVING 💯💯💯
Proof that real hip hop is timeless. "The Message" was the voice of the unheard. Robbed of our culture, Black Americans made their own, hip hop. Poverty from the Bronx changed the world.
Who robbed you of your culture wtf are you talking about
@@devaunplowman2327 America robbed slaves of their culture. Every black person has their own culture besides the American slave. What part did you not understand?
Black people didn't just make their own they took over white culture in America .. how many white people wanna be hip hop artists and producers u reckon? how much of the modern world has been influenced by hiphop and everything relating to it .. Yeezy's from Kanye, Nike made popular from basketball and hiphop .. baseball caps, hi tops. Sampling was created by hiphop so that influenced all the genres that used a sample. Trust me you guys don't know how significant you actually are ... there's a reason white people are called vanilla
I put that last verse up against any of the greatest verses in hip hop , it was years ahead of its time , and still relevant today !!!
Amen brotha
@@dimex3362 Wasn't that Duke Booty that spit that? RIP
@@santodeportes5946 naw, its melle mel, though duke is said to have written the lyrics 🤷🏿♂️
@Michael Blount you don't know nothing bout that Blount
Ehhhh, i mean content wise and the fact that it was ahead of its time and relevant today, but nothing about it particularly impressed me. :p
I Loved this song in the 80's. Bring old school rap back. ❤️✌️
Sorry. It's NEVER coming back. It came and went and I'm just happy to have been there.
I'm glad they did it this...also WOW they are in fantastic shape for their age
Just like me homie lol

Thank you. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
RIP KEITH "COWBOY" WIGGINS
Cow Boi the real McCoy jump in all over like I'm having joy
Rip dizzy
Free Kid Creole
@voicesfrombeyond Kid Creole, hold your head.
@@miawallace2785 I hate to be an asshole (actually I can't help it) but the lyrics are "I'm Cowboy, I'm the real McCoy. I'm chocolate all over like an Almond Joy".
Always remember your roots
Much respect to Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5. This will always be one of the greatest songs ever made to me. I was a little disappointed they didnt take it to the present though.
The mix on this song was and still is crazy.
I never get tired of this track
Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
Legend's....Simply why Vinyl lives Forever!
It was great to work with these guys, We learned so much about the history of hip hop. #respect
One of the best groups of all time
Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
Wow this GtA Vice City Ultra HD looks so real
Ahahahahaha. Funny.
!!!! King Of Hip Hop !!!!
OG's for sure
How am I just finding this?? This is one of the best hip hop songs ever!!
I was so young learning these lyrics then later understanding them
💯💯💯
Ppl need to put this in a hip hop class when learning when artist started speaking about the hood🙏💪💪💪 thank you for this. Glad to see y'all vibing still
Love it the first time I heard it keep me out of jail.Bronx love 183 57 years old One Love...
I like how he was doing them poses next to Mel like on the original 😂😂😂
This is the #1 hip hop single of all time...
Thank you. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
Ah the old school jams 👍
This masterpiece still rocks🖤🖤🖤
Yes sir
The first conscious rap song, 1983 "The Message " big ups to my man Melly Mell, this was a big hit back in the summer of 1983 this song was played all over NYC, I remembered the remix on wbls or was it 98. 7 kiss? they was always battling each other lol
I also remember a commercial for kissFM done by The Furious 5+Grandmaster Flash!
There next album should be called "LONGEVITY" I was a baby when that was on the radio it's still the realest song ever.
Facts. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
this video is like the antithesis of the original. It’s hilarious.
EXACTLY!!!! This shit was phucking unnecessary.
"...lets all buy some red clothes and redo "The Message"!..."
Yep don’t go to the prom twice! It’s only Special / legendary ONCE ☝️
@William Cotton LOL!!!!
Kinda but you don't ever go back to the hood once you make it out. Why would they be stuck back in the 80s?
even melly mel would tell you this
@William Cotton Raheim lip synced the original video. The vocals were recorded by Mel and Duke Booty (Duke also wrote the entire song except for Mel’s last verse).
My brother had the vinyl ❤ Epic ❤ I still know the lyrics. Thank you Grandmaster flash 😍
Man This Made My Day Much Better to Know that Grandmaster Flash and them are Still Relevant Man Man Man this put Chills in my Spine. Thanks for The Entertainment GMF ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
one of the greatest hip hop tunes of all time ..................
These guys need to come and make this song in the streets of Seattle
lets do it. !. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
I mean it in the most serious way. Seattle is now very troubled due to our local “open minded” politicians
I can remember hearing this on the RADIO back in 81, just like it was yesterday. Summertime, good old days
.
Imagine how powerful our people would’ve been if the internet didn’t hold us back in 1999
Damn
Facts it made so much sense to me at 16 years old..Bronx Love 183...so profound that line and u a MAYTAG. I RAN AND ASK THE OLD HEADS WAS A MAY TAG.they basically said a punk that washes draws .Wow........I was like fuck jail facts..
Bro been eatin off this since it was released.
No lie this is one of my work out songs !!! Gets me pumped everytime. Loved it then at 6 and still love it at 40 !
Mate i still listen to this song now in my 40's, it's like jungle sometimes that makes me wonder how i keep from going under? Bloody oath from downunder!!!
@Michael Blount thanks for the reply, Most appreciated fellas, Ya should remind or even Introduce "WHITE LINES!", To everyone LOL, when I was a kid i was just bopping to not taking any notice of the lyrics when I hit da early twenties mark, hahaha listen to da lyrics properly and I was like saewot LOL, good memories, thanks for your awesome music!.
AND FROM THE BOGGIE DOWN BRONX THE GRANDMASTER FLASH & THE FURIOUS 5.
Scorpio in the house. Just pulled out my old record of his “go Michael air Jordan”
The message "TO ME" is lost in this video. I am an old head and lived in NJ back when this song really mirrored the sign of the times. Happy they got a resurgence but I think it would have made a bigger impact if they use a social conscious video like they did back in the day. Very disappointed in the video but they are still one of THE BEST to ever do it.
Very well said thank you.👍🏿
I don't know but maybe that's on purpose and they want to show what happened to Hip Hop.
Yeah...though I still like it this way as a celebration y'know
I thought that was the point of the video. Juxtapositioning the music of the time with a more modern aesthetic.
Damn.....all those years and still DAF!!!!
Would be dope if they filmed this video in the same projects as the original, with the same outfits and all
The same neighborhood? Yes...The same outfits though?! HELL NO! Lol
It's meant to be up to date not the same as then
Same outfits would be Hilarious. The fit would ve different for all those guys
A lot of people forget the group Grandmaster Flash was rockstar fresh when it came to their gear. The clothes they wore in the Message was to fit the theme of song. Any other time they were outlandish with the outfits.
Naw why would they just be slumming it after they made it? That was 40 yes ago Almost.
Legendary group
old school hip hop of the finest degree
The remade “the Message” on a private jet. How could the originators forget THE MESSAGE??! Lord have mercy
It´s cool but where is the MESSAGE? On the Rolls Royce, Jets or Big Towers? I think their vibe is gone. Sorry for this comment...I am very very old school hip hop fan but this video lose the real MESSAGE !
Heliobranco if you are real old school hip hop fan, which I'm leaning more toward you are truly NOT, then you know this song was used in the video Documentary “Style Wars” and was on point. It fit the narrative for that time. This was just fun and not to be associated with a Message per say. Give them a break. It’s 36 years later dude. Melle Mel was also about 15 or 16 when he actually wrote those lyrics. They weren't written on May 29, 2017. Soooo...do the math. You're comment is a prime example of why Hip Hop get's a bad rap. Start doing some homework.
harleyrider916 - Ok...you win !
You're full of shit, and shit like this is precisely why hip hop gets a bad rap nowadays. It's not about living and growing up in the hood and no one in the lower classes identifies with it anymore, oh the "woes of growing up rich and blowing your money on drugs and women". Yeah, that must be real tough.
go back to mexico trump hater
I mean Led Zeppelin flew around ripping off black blues players. . way I see it, it's fair play
the old skool rappers were and still are the best
The GODS still dope ,,, still fly ,,,,, the very fathers of everyone with style.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mel is definitely in my top five favorite Mc’s wish I could meet this kat.
A classic with an updated video, to say that it does not reflect the harsh realities of the street is a fair argument. But still a classic none-the-less.
RIP - EGF - 'Duke Bootee.'
Wish i could unsee
Like a masterpiece painting in word funnelled through rap . Relevant now as it was back then and who knows maybe for the future we're heading for .
This song deserved a best new video.
try again
Love this song! Very fat rythm! And modern for being made in the 70's. 😎 😃
YUP.
In the 80's, my friend >>> 1982! And I'm so happy to say that I used to listen and dance to the sound of this and other awesome hits of this golden era. 😎🎵 I miss the 80's so much!!!
@@claudioaugustopeixotocarva1857Okey. I have read once that this song was made in 1979. But that fact was wrong.
It's still a modern sound for that decade! 🎶 💥And I was born in 1982, so a great year. 😊
Classic, hands down.
Thank you. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
The needle melts to this groove,five's you chills.
Thank you. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
Was expecting P Diddy to jump out and start dancing. This aint what The Message was about at all lol
@Timothy Dashman How did they look broke in the message? Got news for u fuck head the same issues back then in community still exist now. Dont be ignorant.
@Timothy Dashman bro I think you missed the actual point of the song
@Timothy Dashman nothing changed in the remix but the video, wtf are you talking about lol
Thats what made it good! They aren't broke and on the corner. They are living an incredible life right now, there's no mistaking it. Who else in hip hop from it's earliest beginnings are making money touring?
This is so Great !
Its only right !!! Bless the foundation.
Still on my DJ Sets and a great subject to talk.
...and this Never Gets Old!
Simplesmente maravilhoso!!
Fez lembrar me o início, nos bailes do social ramos clube,😎👍
I was a teenager when this came out and it was like he told my teenage life story. When it first came on I stopped what I was doing and listen. And after it was done I asked “Who was that?” My friend just smile and said “That’s Grand Master and the furious Five”…………FURIOUS…they could added me as the SIXTH. Today, I have no reason to be furious for myself but my furious lies with the fact NOTHING CHANGED for the masses.
Thank you. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
Yes!
YESSSS ! Thank you!
This guy killed eminem wit this one..
ÉVOLUTION OF HIP HOP ✌🏽
I am glad to see this video of the legends of rap stars and I enjoy watch and listen to rap. They deserve great reward for creativity music 🎶 😊
Would have been even cooler if the video was filmed where the original was made. It's not the same, rapping about hard live while standing on a plane, driving expensive cars etc. It identifies the Message as being a money maker and not a message anymore.
YES ! ! !
Thank you. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
Legends Forever
👆👍👍
The best grand master flash
?
Its only right !!! Bless the foundation.

Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
the Message and the Videoclip don t have any sense, but yeah you did it. This Song gave me so much and is following my live since is heard it the first time back in the early 80s.
yeah, clients were happy. at the time this was actually my first music video.
great learning opportunity with legends.
DOPE!!!
RIP Edward G. Fletcher, aka Duke Bootee the other vocalist and co-writer of "The Message." I don't know why the other brothers wouldn't want to jump on this song or remix it with the other members of The Furious Five.
Melle Mel swoll up on dat Prednisone...🤣 Good to see him still doin his thang!👏🏿
40 years still hits
indeed. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
Bless
Best of all times
Old school forever !
The greatest rap song. EVER. It started the ball rolling...
with conscious street lyrics and a Tom Tom Club sample.
THE BLUEPRINT.
What sample?
@@jonathanvillalobos7994 Damn, all my life I thought it was a Tom Tom club sample. Its not! Thank you, you just enlightened me...
@@Kryssthealien Lol,no problem
the best rapper of all times...Melle Mel
KRS 1 begs to differ
🤦♂️
@@claudegrinnell9602 yes melle Mel used to like to go and take over people shows when he tried that with krs one at the Latin quarters he got put in his place and he bowed down to krsone but MCS were originally poets in the first MCS used to rhyme about the DJsbut some believe melle Mel was the first rapper ever talk about himself on a record as a rapper
best ever rap in the word london england bought this when i was 8
Ricky Freeman greatest of all time
And just like that. It went from spreading a good message to look how much the message changed my lifestyle yall
Nothing wrong with show that the work and the words took them off the streets and doing something positive. They are super humble and nice guys
@@cesvagency9521 im sure they are. But can't help but think they just repackaged their best hit and tried making more off of the same stuff. The message was an anthem to many in the streets and poor upbringing. Kind of a slap in the face to repackage a classic about poverty but jam as much luxury as possible into a video. Just my perception on it.
SIMPLESMENTE THE BEST
Thank you. Happy Hip Hop 50th Anniversary. #www.society.pictures
the video says miami. not miami ftlauderdal area,.. all those places i been there i live in ftlaud,. the bar they in is on oakland park blvd, east near the ftlauderdale bch,. and that exotic car dealer ship, is also east of surise blvd, before you get to us1, also called federal highway,..before you get to the beach, amazing they filmed this in my town, big mc wayne,..
