Review by bakhtiar

Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel's album, White Lines Don't Do It, is a timeless classic that still resonates with fans of hip-hop and rap today. The album, released in 1983, features iconic tracks such as "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" and "Beat Street Breakdown."

The album's production is impressive, with Grandmaster Flash's skills on the turntables and Melle Mel's lyrical delivery creating a unique sound that would go on to influence generations of artists. The album's themes of drug addiction, poverty, and social injustice are still relevant today, and the duo's message is delivered with power and conviction.

"White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" is the standout track on the album, with its catchy beat and memorable chorus. The song's anti-drug message is delivered with force, and it remains a classic example of socially conscious rap.

About Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel

Name of the artist here should actually be "Grandmaster & Melle Mel". This unique wording was the result of an ugly legal suit between Melle Mel (Melvin Glover) and Grandmaster Flash (Joseph Saddler). When Flash was essentially pushed out of his own group - especially in the fact that he was a non-player on the breakthrough Grandmaster Flash & Furious 5 track "The Message" - Melle Mel (with the encouragement of Sugarhill Records label head Sylvia Robinson) decided that he would take Flash's place in the band - and essentially take his name as well. During this time, the definitive singles "The Message II" and "New York, New York" were released under the name of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5, even though Flash had nothing to do with these releases. The net result of the lawsuit forced Sugar Hill and Melle Mel to cease the theft of Flash's name - which resulted in the White Lines singles all being pressed with the name "Grandmaster & Melle Mel
