Album Description

This set is a three-disc box of material recorded by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five (plus a few cuts headed by Grandmaster Melle Mel). Adventures on the Wheels of Steel spans all the way from their earliest, pre-Sugar Hill recordings (the great singles 'Super Rappin' No. 1' and 'Flash To The Beat') to the mid-'80s material recorded after Grandmaster Flash split from Sugar Hill (both he and Melle Mel headed collectives composed of former members of the Furious Five). Of course, anyone even vaguely interested in this set is already going to own quite a few of these tracks, from the big Furious Five hits 'The Message' and 'White Lines' to much-anthologized classics like 'Birthday Party', 'New York New York', 'The Showdown', 'Scorpio', and 'Message II (Survival)'. Where this collection really begins to excel, and attract collectors, is the large number of rarities included. 86 tracks. Castle Music. 2006.

Album Details

Digitally Remastered Reissue of the First Definitive Retrospective of the Man and the Group who Helped Invent Rap and Hip-hop. These Two Discs Anthologize the Group's Most Important Recordings and Includes a Couple of Previously Unissued Tracks. Previously Available on Sequel Records.

4 out of 5 stars buyer beware : the release in 2000 was "beeped".......2006-12-26

this is a very good complilation of old school rap. This is good for the soul. Classic stuff. Caveat: the 2000 release was censored. Some tracks were 'beeped' on the the curse words. Just not acceptable. All they should do is put an advisory sticker on the package and let the buyer decide. Aside from the censoring, for which I docked a star, the music is amazing.

2 out of 5 stars Not the Eighties.......2000-01-08

My husband bought this one for me by accident. I've been going on and on about how my original tape of Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five was stolen when I was in high school and I've yet to find the album with the original "The MEssage" and "White Lines." I think he bought me this so I'd stop singing to myself, "Don't push me cuz I'm close to the edge," wherever we go. Although this didn't have the two songs I wanted (I later ordered the regular "Greatest Hits" album from Amazon.com), it didn't bring back any memories. In fact, I've never heard any of these songs. I don't mind the CD but it's taking some getting used to.

5 out of 5 stars It's a doozy!!!!.......1999-02-21

This cd is so great!!! I would buy it again, except I already have. I encourage young people of all ages and races to buy this "neato" compact disk and play it in your stereo system....(but play it quiet 'cause it has bad language, you know, explicit lyrics???) My favorite part is when Grandmaster goes, "da na na na na na na na...GI Joe was swimmin on the water...bluuuuppp...and then a big brown shark came!!!!!!! bluuuuppppp. Limp Bizkit rules!!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars "RRRRRRRUAHH"!!.......2005-07-31

    This here is the illest, most complete GMF & Furious 5 collection available on CD, period! no other comes close! Where else would you find the 1979 trk. originally released on ENJOY rcds. "SUPERAPPIN'" at? Or trks. from the super rare, impossible to find 1989 album "PIANO"? I didn't think so! It even has cuts from the BEAT-STREET sound track!! 'nuff said, cop it!!

    5 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE REAL SHIZZNICK YA''LL.......2002-12-18

    Unbelevable beats, rhymes, messages and personas... "I'm kieth cowboy and you're my cow / watcha m.c's gonna do now?" It just don't get any better than that...

    5 out of 5 stars My Mercedes is outside- Where's yours at?.......2002-11-28

    This is the real deal. Old school style/ new school motivator.
    When rap was fresh and exciting. Now all there is hooked on phonics-a,e,i,o,u. Go back in time when the streets were alive.
    Throw your your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care. If rap is your way of life and you do what you like
    then this is the Truth. So when the white man is bringing you down, throw this on and come back to the light.Long live Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five. Mellie Mel kicks it Strong.

    Peace!

    5 out of 5 stars This should be in all classrooms (and rap music collections).......2001-12-20

    This box set is the definitive collection of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's music. It has all the classics. It also has forgotten gems like "Step Off" and more recent releases like "Freestyle" and "Drug Wars." Unfortunately, it doesn't touch on Grandmaster Flash' Electra years ("Sign of the Times" and "Girls Love The Way He Spins" would have been nice additions). However, it more than makes up for this with classics missing from most compilations like "She's Fresh," "It's A Shame" and "Super Rappin'". The music of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, in their various formulations, influenced the music we listen to today more than any other group since the 1970's. Whether you're a fan of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, a fan of rap music in general, a music historian or someone who just wants to reminisce on the days when rap was still an underground culture, this is the CD collection for you. Hopefully, it will remain available for generations to come. The influence of their music definitely will.

    4 out of 5 stars Kickin' music from Kickin' times.......2000-07-14

    Grandmaster flash is the king and there is no question about it. This album collects the highlights of the glory days of his career and each track is a heavy groove and great listening. His scratching and sampling are where it all came from. buy it.
