-Descripcion Original:

Message from Beat Street consists of tracks recorded by the various versions of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and Grandmaster Melle Mel. [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand] Is there a rap fan out there who didnt like The Message? It took rap in an entirely new direction: while others were content to ride the Double Dutch Bus down to the disco, the Furious Five spoke out about social decay. The chorus of The Message (Dont push me, cause Im close to the edge / Im trying not to lose my head / Sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under) describes the effect of Reaganomics in ways that Dan Rather never could. Of course, Grandmaster Flash and company werent against partying. In fact, they cut some of the best party tracks in the genres history (Freedom, The Birthday Party), along with some battle raps (Step Off, Showdown) to complete the package. Copyright restrictions probably kept the beat-edit classic The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel off the track listing. Still, one glaring omission isnt reason enough not to pick this up. --Todd Inoue
