The record



Title: Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - New York New York
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1983, Hip-Hop, Old-School Hip-Hop, Bronx, New York 7/26
Matrix #: SH457
Condition: VG+, sounds great (TC) | Members: Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five (N/A)
Cultural Facts:

  1. Media Narrative: Instead of presenting New York as glamorous, the song delivers a stark street-level portrait of poverty, crime, mental illness, police brutality, and survival.
  2. Recording Story: Melle Mel wrote the track with Duke Bootee and Sugar Hill founder Sylvia Robinson, continuing the socially conscious storytelling heard on “The Message.”
  3. Production Style: The original 12-inch paired the full seven-minute vocal performance with an equally long instrumental version, giving DJs room to extend and reshape the groove.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
