After this, in 1983, the group split, with Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five going on to record hits such as "White Lines (Dont' Do It") and "Beat Street Anthem", as well as Mel recording with Chaka Khan and Quincy Jones. In 2007, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were the first hiphop outfit to be given a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum!Kurtis Blow was one of the first New York rappers to break into the mainstream in the late 1970s, managed by Russell Simmons (later of Def Jam Records), and backed by DJ Run (of Run-DMC fame). His first release "Christmas Rappin" was a minor hit but it was his second release "The Breaks" which reached the charts and had him appearing on US TV on "Soul Train" as well as opening shows in New York for Bob Marley and The Clash. In 1985, his track "If I Ruled The World" was used in the hiphop movie "Krush Groove", and the melody would be used later in 1996 by NAS (with Lauryn Hill) on his own multi-million selling track of the same name.....Tonight, the original legends of rap and hiphop take to the stage to rock the party with all their greatest hits plus some hiphop classics by other artists.
