DJ Screw's tapes were so popular, he had to install a front gate to keep people out of his house & control customer flow. Traffic was so crazy his neighbors thought he was running a traphouse.

Know Your Hip-Hop Pioneers: Grandmaster Flash
Tumblr media
A man whose radical skills in mixing reformed the turntable is, Grandmaster Flash. As the architect of the quick-mix theory, which is the extended play of the breakbeat, Flash's DJ sets are notorious for shaking crowds! His early days playing at house and block parties for big-time house rockers Kurtis Blow and Lovebug Starski led to his most famed act, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five. Flash's impeccable technique for the art of djing has earned him a place in the holy triad of hip-hop.

Someone needs to teach these youngsters about music history. Because I saw someone say they created a genre called disco rap.
Rap music, hip hop was born from disco and funk. Look at the early samples Sugahill Gang's Rappers delight sampled Good Times by chic.
I wish the Get Down wasn't cancelled
I actually like this guy's music but I can't with the thinking you made a whole new genre
50 years of hip hop learn something please
