Super Rappin’ No. 2

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five · 1980
Recording

Released in New York on Enjoy Records as a Bobby Robinson production, the single paired the vocal performance with the instrumental "Super Rappin' Theme." It followed the group's earlier Enjoy-era recordings and presented an extended early rap performance in the same studio-built single format. The track stood as one of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's early commercial releases and a continuation of the "Superappin'" template that helped define the group's first recorded identity. It circulated during rap's initial move from block parties and park jams into the record market. "Super Rappin' No. 2" has remained an important early-old-school rap document and was sampled by later artists, including Beats International on "No More Mr. Nice Guy." Its place in the group's pre-fame catalog keeps it regularly cited in histories of early hip-hop.
