Grandmaster Flash and The Furious 5 ruled the airways with their use of turntablism, break-beat deejaying, and choreographed stage routines. Formed in New York’s South Bronx in 1978, their 1982 single, "The Message," is often cited as one of the best rap songs of all time, and was the first hip-hop song to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The Furious 5 would go on to achieve smash singles including "White Lines”, "Step Off” and "Beat Street.” Boy Scout talked to Scorpio in about hip hop roots, greatest regrets, and what it means to be "Furious."
