In 1981, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five dropped the track ‘It's Nasty (Genius of Love),’ an absolute gamechanger in the hip-hop scene. This track was the precursor to their legendary album ‘The Message,’ released in 1982.
‘It's Nasty’ is a salty track that perfectly captures the vibe of the early ’80s. The group used samples from Tom Tom Club's ‘Genius of Love’ and Aaron Copland's ‘Fanfare for the Common Man,’ resulting in a unique sound that rocked the hip-hop game.
The track was produced by Sylvia Robinson and released on Sugar Hill Records. It was one of the first songs to use turntablism and scratching on a record, paving the way for the development of hip-hop production.
‘It's Nasty’ reached No. 22 on the U.S. R&B charts and became a classic in hip-hop history. The song is still a favorite among hip-hop heads and is often played at old-school hip-hop parties.
If you haven't heard the track yet, it's definitely worth checking out. It's a salty classic that laid the foundations of hip-hop and still stands the test of time.
For visual enthusiasts, a music video of ‘It's Nasty’ is also available. It is a must-see for anyone interested in early hip-hop culture.
