GrandMaster Flash @ Zentra Chicago 06-10-2006
The real Oldskool Grand Master himself, throwing the Party way down and up again to the roof @ Jackin Friday's at Shytown's Zentra Club last month! LOL, now that's how you MOVE a(ny) crowd!! Listen and enjoy (and maybe learn some from this oldskool Legend performing, he's been there, done it all, all the way back from day ONE ) A perfect example i think, is how they took off that night ghehe;
".. but before we gonna start this; what's most important is, is that you jam with us. If there's anybody in the building that's too cool.. to yell and scream, throw their hands if i ask for it, or go crazy.. If you're too cool for all that shit, i would politely say to you; please get the fuck out cuz your in the wrong place! "
first let's kick some facts in ok, this Legend is from way back and not all of you might know the story..
Grandmaster Flash is Known as one of the three Originators of Break-Beat DJing (The Other 2 being Afrika Bambaataa and DJ Kool Herc), And is responsble for developing and perfecting time precision on the following DJ techniquues: Cutting (repeating a beat or Musical phrase by moving the record back and forth); Back Spinning (repeating a beat or phrase on a record, by alternately spinning both records backwards to the desired beat or phrase; thus, repeating it); and punch-phrasing (playing certainparts of a record on one turntable in quick volume surges, while the record plays on the other turntable). Flash was the first to debut track DJing skills like mixing records behind his back or beneath table, kicking mixing faders with his feet, and the like. In the late 1980s, he was also the first DJ to develop and market his own mixer, called the Flashformer. His Group the Furious Five was a premier group toward the mid-1970s, known for thier choreography, studded leather stage wear, and fierce Rapping Skills. Group member Cowboy was the first MC for Flash, Who Pioneered Phrases like "Throw your Hands in the Air, And wave'em like ya just don't care!," "Clap your hands to the beat!," and "Everybody Say, Ho!," Which have become staples in Rap and Hip Hop Culture. He was also the first Mc to hype the Skills of his DJ during Parties, With Lines like "The Pulsating, Inflating, Disco Shaking, Heartbreaking man on the turntables...." Flash's 1981 Single "the Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on The Wheels of Steel" was the first record to exemplify Hip-Hop DJing Skills, and the Group's 1982 hit "The Message" was One of the First Serious Rap Records. Group Member Melle Mel was among the most skillful rap lyricists and technicians of his name. He is also responsible for introducing a more phonetically percussive style to MCing. As one of Hip Hop's pioneer DJs, Flash is responsible for introducing some of the following break records: "Pussyfooter" by Jackie Robinson, "Heaven and Hell" by 20th Century Steel Band, "Johnny the Fox" by Thin Lizzy, and "Walk This Way" Aerosmith. Flash grew up in the South Bronx with a wide appreciation of music. He would sneak and raid his father's record Collection, and listen to records by Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin and other varieties of Music. He was also fascinated with Electronics, and his mother eventually sent him to Samuel Gompers Vocational High School to Pursue this Interest. Flash started to take up DJing in 1974 after seeing Kool DJ Herc play Break Music. Flash and his then-partner, Mean Gene (DJ Grand Wizard Theodore's older Brother), Later played for small house parties and discos, Where he came upon Pete DJ Jones, A popular disco DJ for the older crowd. He noticed that Jones knew more about mixing than Kool Herc did, because Jones precued all his records, as opposed to Herc, Whose method of mixing was strictly based on how he dropped the needle. After asking Jones for an opportunity to play on his system several times, Flash found out why Jones's Mixing was perfect. By Listening through Jones's headphones, He discovered that that a troggle switch allowed him to hear the other turntable before playing it to the crowd. Thereafter, Flash found and divised his own switching system for his sound equipment, and soon began perfecting his timing in Break-Beat DJing. Around 1975 Flash began to apply what he called "The Clock Theory" to DJing, Where he began to read records by finding a particular spot on the record label (like the label's logo) to enable him to quickly find certain sections on a record. Mean Gene's Baby Brother, Theodore, Began hanging out with Flash around this time and later became Flash's record Boy. Because Flash's DJing Skills at his parties captivated his crowd so much that it hindered them from dancing , He began to assemble a group of MCs to keep the Crowd going. Cowboy was his first choice for MC. Melle Mel was the second MC he chose, with Mel's brother, Kid Creole, Being the third. They then were billed as Grandmaster Flash and the 3 MCs. Later Flash would use a Vox drum machine with the group, Billing themselves as Grandmaster Flash and the 3 MCs with the Beat Box. Toward 1976 Flash was approached by ex-policeman and promoter Ray Chandler in St.Ann's Park in the Bronx, Who suggested to Flash that he esablish a regular spotfor his parties. Chandler found a place on Boston Road and 169th Street; The Small Club had a painted Black Door, and the two decided to Christen the spot in promotions as the Black Door. Later, Due to scattered problems by Stick-up kids who attended Flash's parties, Chandler decided to hire security for the spot. He hired some former members of the Black Spades street gang, known as the Casanova Crew, led by crew member Tiny. Within a few months the popularity of Flash's parties forced him to seek larger venues. By September 1976 Flash was playing the Audubon Ballroom to a crowd of nearly 3000, Where he performed many of his familiar tracks, plus added new ones, like dropping the needle on records directly on the beat, on time, without cuing (DAMN!!!) Flash, Cowboy, Melle Mel, Kid Creole, and added member Scorpio (then known as Mr.Ness) appeared in several other venues like the Renaissance and the Savoy Manner as Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Four. By 1977 the Furious Four Split with Flash's Manager, Ray Chandler, due to various differences, While Flash continued working minus his MCs. Around this same period DJ and MC battles were frequently occurring in the Bronx. Flash was involed in several notable ones, including challenging DJ Tex and Afrika Bambaataa, Where Flash retaliated with an army of sound systems. Flash Began DJing for Kurtis Blow, and the two would later perform together at various P.A.L.venues in the Bronx. During summer 1978 Cowboy, Melle Mel, Creole and Scorpio were working with DJ Charlie Chase. By the End of 1978 Flash and his former MCs (with Scorpio) had Reunited and Resumed doing shows together. Around this same period they took part in a notable battle with Busy Bee Starski, Grand Wizard Theodore, and Afrika Bambaataa. Some time later the group's famous and intense battles would be with DJ Breakout and the Funky Four. By 1979 Flash was approached by legendary record producer/store owner Bobby Robinson of Enjoy Reords, who wanted to Rrecord Flash and the Group. During this same period Cowboy, Melle Mel, Kid Creole and former Funky Four member Raheim had recorded a record for Brass Records called "We Rap More Mellow" under an assumed name, The Younger Generation. Soon After, Flash and the Furious Five (with Raheim now a member) began recording for Robinson, with their first 12-inch single for the label being "Superappin'." Disappointed with Robinson's inability to get them on radio, the group soon signed with Sylvia Robinson's Sugar Hill Records, on the strength of her promise to get them to perform on the backing track of a record that was a DJ favorite at the time, titled "Get Up and Dance," by the group Freedom. Flash and the Furious Five's first record for Sugar Hill was, in fact, titled "Freedom," and was a hit with the Hip-Hop crowd. During that same year the group recorded the song "Birthday Party" By 1981 the landmark "Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel" was released. This single gave people the first recorded example of Falsh's wizardry on the turntables, and it was the first record of it's kind. During this same period Flash and the Furious Five went on a European Tour, where they opened some show for the punk rock group The Clash. They were received poorly by Clash audiences in some venues, while in others they received moderate responses(Kurtis Blow later Toured Triumphantly as The Clash's opener) In 1982 the group had released another landmark recording called "The Message," a social Commentary that was unique for its "don't push me, 'cause i'm close to the edge" chorus hook, which expressed urban frustration. Sugar Hill Records' house band percussionist, Ed "Duke Bootee" Fletcher, was one of the main architects behind the work, with Melle Mel's performances making the piece one of Hip-Hop's true Classics. That same year Grandmaster Flash made an appearance in the Hip-Hop movie "Wild Style". In 1983 Flash felt there was a conclict of intrest with Sugar Hill Records' co-owner Sylvia Robinson managing and producing Flash and the Furious Five, as well as owning half the labelthey were recording for. Flash sued Sugar Hill Records for $5 million. Thereafter, the courts ruled the Flash had the right to keep the use of his name, "Grandmaster Flash," but was not entitled to a finacial settlement. The lawsuit caused another riff within the group with the Furious Splitting down the middle, with Melle Mel, Scorpio and Cowboy forming one fraction, and Mel's brother Creole, Raheim and Flash forming the other. Melle Mel, Cowboy and Scorpio continued to recoerd for Sugar Hill Records. The Single "White Lines (Don't Do It), " Which was released around 1984, was billed as Grandmaster & Melle Mel. Later Mel and the others did three albums for the label, billed as Grandmaster Melle Mel and the Furious Five, with King Lou, Grandmaster E-Z Mike, Dynamite, Tommy Gunn and Kami Kaze making up the remainder of the group. Melle Mel also did some cameo work during this same period, appearing on singer Chaka Khan's single "I Feel for you". During 1986, Melle Mel worked with promoter Van Silk on the WNBC-TV antidrug commerial in New York, which won an Emmy. Flash signed with Elektra Records, working with Raheim and Kid Creole, along with additional crew members, including Mr.Broadway, Lavon, Shame and Larry Love. In 1985 this configuration scored big with the piece "Larry's Dance Theme". After Several albums from both Furious Five fractions, the original Furious Five reformed again around 1988, recording the album "On The Strength". However, by September 1989 Flash's first MC, Cowboy, had died, and the group members had separated again to pursue individual projects. Melle Mel worked with Quincy Jones on his "Back on the Block" album, while Flash began to get into production, working with Roxanne Shante, Essence (who appeared on the soundtrack of the film "New Jack City"), Color Me Badd and others. In 1994 Flash and the Four Furious members had united again for a few months, this time on radio, doing the "Mic Check Show" on New York's Hot-97 FM. "

here's another coming from earlier stuff posted around the foras, whats still on-line; Word.. "Blastmaster.. KRS One.. The Teacher" .. it's some Facts of Rapmusic/history. And hearing Chris lecture his lessons again, brings 079 instantly back to his younger years filled with graffs/breaks/battles yeah.. In contrary to all that Good Old/Golden: -> Nowadays.. if i may; Rapmusic?? Rappers.. MC's.. euhm, what's happened?? Don't know what has been going & happened to all this, these past +/-15years following that earlier area, but.. still the 2 Kings of that Era (as majority of hiphop oldies recons them 2) remain unchallenged: Rakim & KRS! LOL, that's an understatement .. still need to reach/get close enough aswell before you can make yourself known as challenger to 'em, huh?! well.. should personal taste be a decisive factor it would mean for this case 079 going with The 'R' / Rakim ghehe 
BUT.. nevertheless MUCH Respect for KRS' teaching skillz, who hasn't lost much of his touch over the years..

Het trio Oscar de Jong, Mark Kneppers en Wim Plug oftewel Kraak & Smaak zijn al geruime tijd in nadrukkelijke belangstelling van de buitenlandse pers en dan vooral de Britse. Dit omdat de eerste releases en ook 'Boogie Angst' op het Britse label Jalapeno Records zijn uitgekomen. Dat is waarschijnlijk ook de reden waarom ze in het buitenland al weg lopen met deze jongens en waarom de meeste mensen in Nederland bij het horen van 'Kraak & Smaak' waarschijnlijk aan een nieuwe variant van een hamburgerketen denkt. Het bijna jongensboekachtige verhaal van Kraak & Smaak begint als de heren kennis met elkaar maken. Wim en Mark zijn al heel lang vrienden en Oscar is erbij gekomen nadat Mark en hij kennis met elkaar hebben gemaakt in het Leidse nachtleven. Alledrie hebben ze een muzikale achtergrond, al zijn deze even verschillend als interessant. Oscar, het muzikale brein en de techneut van het trio studeert aan het conservatorium van Rotterdam, Mark kennen we als helft van het duo Wipneus & Pim, als Dj Knuppelhout en eigenaar van de Leidse Platenzaak VelvetVinyl en tenslotte is Wim onder andere dj en afstuderend socioloog. Deze mix maakt Kraak & Smaak, een muzikale hutspot waar je elementen vind vanuit de funk, soul, groove, jazz en vooral breakbeat.
Het album 'Boogie Angst' volgt na enkele succesvolle 12 inches waaronder 'Say Yeah', die tot op heden de grootste klapper is geweest. Met heel veel steun vanuit de Britse BBC Radio One kamp is Kraak & Smaak heel erg hot in de diverse toonaangevende hitlijsten aldaar. Maar niet alleen aan de andere kant van de Noordzee kopen ze warm voor dit trio, ook bijvoorbeeld in Australie is Kraak & Smaak meer dan begrip. Tijd dus voor de rest van de wereld om kennis te maken met Kraak & Smaak en 'Boogie Angst' is daar het perfecte medium voor!
Veel van de singles die voorheen gereleased zijn staan in een of andere vorm op het album. Ook voormalige b-kantjes zijn verwerkt tot echte albumstracks, daarnaast is er uiteraard ook genoeg nieuw werk te vinden. Het album begint gelijk met de nieuwe single 'Money In The Bag' en laat direct horen waar Kraak & Smaak voor staat; hele funky samples, lekkere (break)beat en vooral heel veel oor voor details. Alles klopt, alles loopt en alles klinkt gewoon goed. Hoewel de heren in eerste instantie helemaal nooit aan een volledig album hebben gedacht werd al snel duidelijk dat na de single 'Set The Disco On Fire', 'Keep On Searching' en 'Say Yeah' er genoeg potentie was voor volledig album. En het proces naar een volledig album werd begeleid door aardig wat nachtuurtjes in de studio met een lekkere slok alcohol op.
In eerdere interviews werd door het trio al aangeven dat het album een goede mix van luister en dans liedjes moest worden die eigenlijk voor elke situatie geschikt zou moeten zijn. Daar zijn ze zeker ingeslaagd, uptempo tracks als het prachtige 'Keep Me Home' (met de zangeres Dez als gastvocaliste) worden moeiteloos gevolgd door het schitterende laidback 'Danse Macabre'. Andere sterkte momenten zijn het opnieuw ingezongen en toekomstige single 'One Of These Days' met U-Gene vocalist, het swingende 'Maputo Express' en het sfeervolle 'No Sun In The Sky' en het funky as hell afsluiter 'Hello Big Mama'.
Tijdens het luisteren en wellicht ook dansen vergeet je dat we het hier eigenlijk gewoon over een oerhollandse produktie hebben en dat maakt wel dat er met een bepaalde trots naar dit internationaal klinkende album geluisterd mag worden. Vooral als de heren straks ook nog echt live gaan optreden met onder andere Ro, U-Gene, Marc E. Baronner en wellicht wel Dez in hun gelederen dan staat er niks meer in de weg voor de grote wereldwijde verovering door Kraak & Smaak.

level 42 @ de doelen rotterdam 1982
079 being a fanatic bassplayer since his early years, had following a hardrocking era (you wanna be loud,or better; loudest in your teenyears i guess huh?!) an ''Level 42 period'' aswell, with ofcourse bass-virtuoso Mark King being the big bad example!
This concert was filmed and recorded by Veronica for their show Countdown. They broadcasted 4 songs in this 28 mins radiospecial on Countdown Café 24-10-1982...
"Heathrow, Weave Your Spell, Love Games & Are You Hearing..? "
Ripped this from 1 of my old (antique ghehe) tapies what luckily survived time, in contrary to an other valuable tape i had from Veronica's Rocknight @ AHOY Rotterdam '93 that incl next 2 Level's full concert Sade & Talk Talk aswell.. (damned...)
Although old TDK-SA90 still a acceptable quality 128kbps mp3 resulted imo, Enjoy!
