Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five - On the Strength

by Ron Wynn
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five tried to regroup on this 1988 release, but old school hip-hop had been lapped by the charge of the new school. There was little interest or response to such cuts as "Tear The Roof Off" and "Boy Is Dope," while "Fly Girl" and "Magic Carpet Ride" sounded dated and weary. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
