Melle Mel Appreciation

[The Ruler 09]

Melle Mel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

read the bio section about what happened in 88

drops the Mic

By then he'd already been active since 1978 and certainly at period reigning for a long time. That's an 11 year run, and On The Strength is a great album too...

 

[Detroit_blue]

In 1988, after an almost 4 year layoff, Mel and Flash reunited and released the album "On The Strength", but with up-and-coming new school artists such as Eric B. & Rakim, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, and Big Daddy Kane dominating the hip-hop market, the album failed miserably. Mel performed with The King Dream Chorus and Holiday Crew on "King Holiday" aimed at having Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday declared a national holiday. Mel also performed with Artists United Against Apartheid on the anti-apartheid song Sun City aimed at discouraging other artists from performing in South Africa until that government ended its policy of apartheid. Mel ended the decade by winning two more Grammy awards for his work on Quincy Jones "Back On The Block" & "Q – The Autobiography of Quincy Jones" albums.

Yes you are, that's why you won't reveal who's alias you are, as I said a check should be done and you should be merged or removed on a whole. It's probably that bytch made @Zero but a few people are pathetic enough to do that.

[Not The Ruler O9]

No, because it's a question, it could be a number of pathetic lowlifes, but the p*ssy won't answer about his alias', I always said I don't post under any alias's which is the truth. He clearly is, but is such a coward he created his alias to talk shyt.

In 1985, Melle Mel met Quincy Jones at the Grammys, and they began to collaborate for Back on the Block. This led to Mel being featured in the song "Back on the Block", which won him the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1991. He would pick up an additional Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album in 2002 for his contributions in Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones.
