Bambaata has the edge w the James Brown collab but Grandmaster Flash's "Scorpio" is still amazing

the media silence wrt the Bambaataa and the wide spread child abuse allegations is pretty disturbing

yeah I would think for most people the first response to that headline would be "who is Afrika Bamaataa?"

really sad how things shook out for both these groups. imagine how full of potential it all must have seemed in 1982.
