Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message (Official Video)
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message. A lot of so-called scholars/pundits associate the origins of hip hop with promoting materialism, violence, etc. Creators know that hip hop is a movement created to transform material conditions while developing new forms of effective conflict resolution.
