221-Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Four at Bronx Science High school, 1978
Scope and Contents
This was one of those jams that had to be over by Midnight. But Mele Mel Mr. Ness and Flash did their thing over the echo chamber. Kid Kreole and Cowboy got on the mic but for only a minute. Mel gave out a lot of rhymes. Mel did a rhyme about meeting a girl while he was in cab, which was ironic because on tape 225 Moe Dee says a rhyme also about meeting a girl while he was in a cab. So because of the irony I had to check for some biting! But know one bit! Then on cue Mele does a rhyme of someone biting. Props have to be given to Mr. Ness because he is coming out of his bag with a bunch of rhymes also. Of course he does his Butcher the Baker rhyme, but he then brings out another rhyme called “10 emcee’s trying to say my rhymes!” Another one about buying Dust in Harlem on 123 rd street! Mel calls the crews equipment The Gladiator. The crew shouts out The Mercedes Ladies. Flash does his thing as well as incorporates The Beat Box for a minute. The records Sessomatto, Can’t get it, Son of Scorpio, Fat Backin, Brother Green, Congo and Funky Drummer. Of course there are more. Also Mel announces that the Furious Four with Disco Bee and Flash will be battling Disco King Mario which will be A Black Door Production. 60 mins.
