Scratchers of the world UNITE!! Grandmaster Flash on 3/11/12 @ the amaaaazing U Street Music Hall.  If the name doesn't ring any bells, this should: 'It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder what keeps me from going under...' ...yeah, THAT Grandmaster Flash. Crazy, right?
My take: Not only was the Godfather of Hip Hop performing, schooling old and new schoolers alike the real meaning of hip hop but they had the ULTIMATE dance battle going on throughout the event. Breakdancing, popping (robotic style), and straight out battle freestyle in a circle.
He stopped the show a number of times to preach, talk about music, and it was an incredibly interactive show. Rock songs from the Beatles, AC/DC , David Bowie, 70's music from the likes of the Bee Gee's and more were mixed with the old school hip hop. This is what a DJ used to be... A real variety of songs, not just beat matched sameness the whole night.
3 Rules to a Grandmaster Flash party: 
1. Put your hands up 
2. It's not a seminar 
3. What's the third one? I didn't catch it... Let me know in the comments below..

I recorded this while dancing in the middle... The sound doesn't come close to how amazing U Street Music Hall sounds.. I don't care who you see, the sound there alone is out of this world and worthy a trip to DC. Not to mention the cheap entry and drink prices. They do it right!
