BetaFunk Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 [quote name='Drax' timestamp='1419200654' post='2637606'] when people talk about 'white man funk', they're the benchmark. Actually not too far from a lot of current function bands. [/quote] That's a very good point. I really like that comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic_Groove Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1419176522' post='2637225'] I have no idea what age you were at the time (1982) but it's probably as much about social comment of the time as it was about the music. [/quote] Big +1000 [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1419176684' post='2637227'] That's why it's aged, it's not really relevant any more I'm sure it was great at the time but issues move on and new artists take up the baton. [/quote] If you think the "message" in "The Message" is not relevant at the moment! You really need to open your eye's!!! B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 How is a theme about Poverty, Violence, Drugs etc. not relevant today ? The only thing thats changed IMO is yes "The revolution will not be televised" but it will be on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedmanzie Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1419122506' post='2636880'] this is the best hip hop record ever recorded imo.. there i said it. funny, i love so many epic hip hop records. . White Lines is great, PE is up there. but its no Grand MasterFlash. its such an Epic hip hop record.. when ever i think of the essence of hip hop its this record. . [/quote] Good call! The best hip hop record in my humble opinion is Rammellzee and K-Rob from 83, nothing like it before or since and still sounds amazing: [media]http://youtu.be/9I56Kkxh_os[/media] Edited December 22, 2014 by tedmanzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfoxnik Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Merry Xmas Folks! Another + 1 for 'The Message' - the classic hip-hop record of it's time IMO and pretty influential too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
