DJ and hip-hop forefather Grandmaster Flash

At the dawn of hip-hop, he recorded with the Furious Five. Their hits included "The Message" and "White Lines (Don't Do it)." Nearly 30 years ago, Flash created the "Quick Mix Theory" -- the process of blending one music break with another. This interview first aired July 8, 2002.
