New Year's Eve

Grandmaster Mele Mel w/ Mickey Factz and Ninjasonik

While most people give Flash all the credit for songs like "White Lines (Don't Do It)" and "Beat Street," Grandmaster Mele Mel was actually the rhyming genius behind these hip-hop classics. Originally a member of the Furious Five, Mele Mel has since stepped out on his own, most recently with Muscles, his debut LP from 2007. Tonight Mele Mel helps ring in an old-school New Year, alongside new-schooler Mickey Factz and the tight pants-wearing boys of Ninjasonik.

    For any to suggest Melle Mel, (the name's spelled wrong unless he's changed it) is a rhyming genius then or now is pretty hilarious. You kids crack me up!

    to first n: this is a bit belated, and i can't speak to his rhyming virtuosity, but it appears mel DID change his name, when he released his first solo album: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melle_Mel his official site reflects that http://www.melemel.net/
