The event is free and open to the public.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStudent Engagement and Leadership caters to all our students, and this event targets nontraditional students but also will teach our traditional students the history of what they know today,\u201d said SEAL Coordinator <strong>Delnita Evans<\/strong>. \u201cSo much of their music today is sampled from those that laid the foundation. Why not host the pioneer of what we know, love and continue to use in music today? If it weren\u2019t for Grandmaster Flash, our TikTok sound bites wouldn\u2019t be a thing.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grandmaster Flash is one of hip-hop\u2019s original innovators. From the South Bronx in the early 1970s, he manipulated music by placing his fingers on the vinyl, perfected beat looping and discovered many of the most iconic beats still sampled today. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five was the first rap group induced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. From his electric live shows to his production role on Netflix\u2019s \u201cThe Get Down,\u201d Grandmaster Flash is a historian, storyteller and a cultural force.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grandmaster Flash\u2019s appearance at Pellissippi State will be an educational, entertaining and interactive experience. He will show the audience how, as a teenager, he used his knowledge of electronic repair to begin experimenting in his bedroom with different styles and techniques. As the architect of the quick mix theory and science behind turntablism, Grandmaster Flash will visually lay out these formulas and concepts using two turntables equipped with live cameras. He also will show classic footage of his extensive record collection and treat the audience to some rare break beats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mission of Pellissippi State is to provide a transformative environment fostering the academic, social, economic and cultural enrichment of the individual and the community.
