How the hell could anyone think a song titled "White Lines" was a subtle reference to cocaine?! It wasn't about lines on football pitches, that's for sure. How ironic Hip-Hop used to tell people about the dangers of drugs. Just like all Grandmaster Flash and the furious five's work this song is intelligent and socially aware, as well as responsible. The bassline on this song at the beginning when he says "bass" is awesome, and the music's nice and catchy. The lyrics make me laugh as well..."Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang SNIFF Rang..." The descrition on my record with this on sums it up beautifully "Manages to put a powerful anti drugs message across while somehow also still sounding cool." They don't make em like they used to. Grandmaster Flash's adventures on the wheel of steel are an 8minute dj masterclass too. Legend.
