The Message

I've been reading a lot about early rap lately so I figured this song of the day, especially since I missed Saturday, should be dedicated to the first rappers, the ones who paved the way for current musicains. That is why I have chosen The Message by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

Rap music just isn't what it used to be. Before the music had substance, it had a message. People weren't going to just "pop, lock, it drop" it. The music was about a struggle connected to the youth of color during that time and was an outlet for them.

So here's the music video:
