Last night, to commemorate Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s induction into the Grammy Hall of fame, LL, Common, Lupe, and Melle Mel rocked a remix of the classic joint “The Message”. Sidenote, Melle Mel’s mustache disturbs me.

The crowd at this thing was so wack. They need to make these awards shows more fan intensive.

I was fortunate enough to attend the taping and it seemed like a bit of a calamity live. They cleaned this up pretty well.
