The message by grandmaster flash

 

 In 1982 Bronx, New York was being run by drugs,sex,and violence. The

 city needed change fast before it just disappeared. Grandmaster flash turned this bad situation into a great

 oppurtunity. Instead of just giving up on his home town grandmaster flash wrote down his first hand

 experiences, put a catchy beat behind it,and released his story into main stream media. His purpose for

 writing this song was to educate the outside world on what was going on in not only his community but in

 many black communities in the United States. However, the song has a universal theme of producing change

 out of bad situations, perseverance,and determination. Grandmaster Flash not only sold millions of

 records, he changed the face of hip hop as we know it. He was not afraid to go out on a limb and address

 issues that were taboo to society. such as drug abuse,homosexuality,and black on black crime. Grandmaster

 Flash was a musical pioneer and someone we can all learn alot from.
