Before I was a DJ, I was a scientist," Flash replied. "Even in the early 70's, I was always going behind the stereo, going behind the washing machine taking apart a turntable and looking at the internal workings. I do respect technology. So here it is, many decades later. At first I had to get used to what they were doing (because) the DJ^s walking in with the laptop and no boxes of records. I'm like, 'So where are the records at?' He says, They're in the laptop.' I'm like, 'What are you talking about?' So it took me a while to understand what that is, but I was keen and eager to want to know because I'm a scientist. I kind of researched them all, and the one at this present time I'm working with and learning to fully understand is Traktor Scratch. It feels the same way I've always pla...
During Hip-Hop's 30yr+ history, few names have become as well known to music lovers across the globe as that of DJ Grandmaster Flash. He is not only one of the three pioneers responsible for the musical genre called Hip-Hop, but he is the first dj to play as a musical instrument, thus helping to elevate the status of the dj to a masterful, artistic position.

DJ Grandmaster Flash begins "mixing" songs.

Another March brings another Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which brings with it another batch of disgruntled e-mails and confused calls from music fans, wondering how the Rock Hall defines "rock" and who is rocking enough to belong there.

A lawyer under 30, he assists political prisoners and radical youth organizations in Las Vegas, after doing similar work in the San Francisco Bay area. From Nkrumah's perspective, it is the political timidity of established black leaders that has led to the current generational tensions. "The civil rights folks got into comfortable positions," said Nkrumah. "In their minds, they thought they were still down with the movement, but they resisted the radicalism of the young...
