Homage à Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five by dieb13
“My grandparents are called Dada, Fluxus, Punk, and Hip-Hop. Without Grandmaster Flash, DJing in its present form wouldn’t exist, and without DJing, experimental turntablism in its present form wouldn’t exist. Although I have to admit that I haven’t explored the roots of Hip-Hop systematically, Grandmaster Flash has definitely influenced my music. The starting point of my homage was a few lines from ‘It’s a Shame’ from the album ‘The Message’ from 1982.” (dieb13)
