Grandmaster Flash

“I [remember asking myself] how am I gonna combine pop, rock, jazz, funk, R&B (and some disco that was cool enough to get in) — I could slip from Michael [Jackson], to Thin Lizzy, to Billy Squier to the O’Jays so that you don’t lose the beat. Hip -hop was created by the DJ — remember that.”

The Godfather of Modern Deejaying, Flash is as humble as any legend could be. The man that originated cutting two records into each other seamlessly, aka mixing; Flash was the first to prove that the DJ wasn’t simply a facilitator — he was an artist.
