Back

While I get my act together, why not go have a look at Mr. Diddy Wah, who has Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's "Scorpio" up for your listening pleasure. Once again, the question of why anyone with access to a Vocoder would chose not to use it at all times presents itself. Also, Mr. Diddy Wah has generously posted the cover art, superfluous apostrophe and all. This is another one of those moments from before hiphop really figured out its aesthetic, and each of the boys in the band is taking it in a different direction: grape flavored Billy Dee? Check. Gay tank commander? Check. Also, if the name "Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five did not imply a group of six, it would be understandable to make the inference that Jimmy "Superfly" Snukka had leapt into the frame at the right of the picture just as the photo was snapped. He is even rocking a purse, God love him.
