Grandmaster, There's a Human Beatbox in my Kitchen!




I’m a Hip Hop fan since 1983. Those days it was pretty difficult to be a German hip hopper. What a difference today. Although, I’m not active anymore I still get this itching in my legs when listening to a scratch beat. YouTube is full of it and it’s fantastic to even have a look at stuff from “old” Grandmaster Flash and others we heard from in the 1980ties, but never could have a look at.

So, why I’m talking about all this? Today, I found this crazy man. We had pretty cool human beatboxes on the Wild Style album those days, but this guy is the coolest one I have seen so far:

Here’s another guy in the kitchen, the Grandmaster himself:
