Performer: Grandmaster Flash/Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five/Furious Five
Artist: Doug Wimbish Distributor: Universal Music Notes: Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five merged the Afrocentric consciousness expressed by such early rappers as Gil Scott-Heron and the Last Poets with b-boy production to create "The Message," an all-time rap anthem. It was the focal point of this LP, which also included "It's Nasty" and "Scorpio," two other strong cuts that might have been winners on their own. Unfortunately, rather than a starting point, this album proved to be their ultimate peak. ~ Ron Wynn
Uncut (magazine) (p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[D]ominated by the urban gloom of 'The Message'....There's a more positive vibe on display in 'It's Nasty'..."
