The Message Tour

“The Message Tour 2010″

Featuring 4 Legendary Acts on the Same Stage

Legendary Rap/Hip Hop acts, Furious 5, Kurtis Blow, The Sugarhill Gang and Rob Base have put together a memorable Tour package that will get the party started with the Rap/Hip Hop sound that started it all.

Furious 5

The first ever rap group to be inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame!

The story of the Furious 5 Emcees is one of many firsts. These Bronx natives were the first rap artists to win Grammy awards, guest star with R&B artists (Chaka Khan with Melle Mel on “I Feel For You” in 1984), first to inject social commentary into rap, with the genre changing “The Message” in 1982, first to endorse a political candidate with the song “Jesse” in 1984, first to be inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame and the list goes on. That’s just the commercial side, after rap was released on records. Before rap was released on records they were the first to write full rhymes on the beat – unlike the nursery style that many Djs were using at the time.

Sugar Hill Gang – “Rapper’s Delight”

The Sugarhill Gang is known for introducing HipHop to the World with the First Multi- Platinum 12′ Single ” Rappers Delight ” as well as other Platinum Singles : 8th Wonder and Apache !!!!
