Legendary Hip-Hop DJ Grandmaster Flash was the focus of the seventh episode of A&E's Origins Of Hip Hop which aired on Tuesday (7/12). Narrated by Nas, the episode focused on Flash and his drive to improve upon the techniques of his predecessors, particularly Kool Herc.
"With Herc, the point of execution and locking with the audience wasn't concerning to him," Flash explained, in regards to Herc's timing and tendency to leave the dancefloor "in disarray."
Much of the first half of the one-hour episode focused on Flash's mission to improve upon what he saw as the technical deficiencies of those who came before him.
