I'm highly dubious that he "qualified as an actuary," especially given that that piece of information was added by an anyonymous user (194.129.64.199) with no citation. -Iwakura42

GRANDMASTER FLASH is the best old school rapper next to the lengendary Sugar Hill gang

Why does 'Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five' redirect to 'Grandmaster Flash'? Shouldn't the group get their own page? - TydAmaNN58 April 12, 2006

• Grandmaster Flash didn't rap, he was a dj and yes.. the furious five do deserve their own page.. maybe I'll make it one day. PeterPartyOn 06:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Grandmaster Flash did rap! Ever hear of The Message. It is one of the most classical songs in Hip-hop history.

• Actually that is Melle Mel, and Duke Bootee's track! Grandmaster wanted more of the groups involvement in the track, but that didn't happen. Baseballfan Talk 01:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Where did Grandmaster Flash's family immigrate from?

• Why doesn't the article mention Grandmaster Flash's freebase cocaine addiction? In the sleeve notes for "Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel" Box Set, I read that he was addicted around the time of the release of White Lines (Don't Do It). 62.254.189.92 09:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Bucktron 02/04/07

[edit] &/and

Is it Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five or rather Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five? Wyglif SMS 20:11, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Muisc

This should have more about his influence on hip hop music. The message "The song's lyrics were some of the first in the genre of rap to talk about the struggles and the frustrations of living in the ghetto."--The Super Villain 02:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Someone needs to find out the track listing for the album "Safety First/Watch Yourself". -User:SilverOrion

[edit] Grandmaster Flash/GF and the furious five

Should Grandmaster Flash and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five not be seperate articles. Using the argument that one is a person, the other is a/his band? —Preceding unsigned comment added by NotoriousTF (talk • contribs) 05:48, 1 November 2007

Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five do have their own article, but most of the content is the same. This article needs cleaned up to get rid of the redundancy. The redirect with the lowercase 't' in "the" was wrong, but I changed that to point to the group.
