Grandmaster


There was a scene in the movie when someone was going to break a record (vinyl record) and Will Forte's character says something like "no, not grandmaster" or so i thought. Does anyone know what he actually says? Was it a grandmaster flash record? I can't find the info anywhere so was curious. Thanks!

I am pretty sure it was supposed to be Grandmaster Flash.

- Perhaps it comes down to my age, but Grandmaster Flash is the only grandmaster that can be identified by just his 'title'.

Also, I can see how parts of The Message could apply to the protagonists in Keanu. :)

I agree with Greynote. There is only one Grandmaster and that's Grandmaster Flash. Especially considering Forte's character and his wonderful portrayal.

It's definitely Grandmaster Flash. Also, another clue is that he was smashing the records in reverse order of date produced, all classic hip hop albums, so that was the oldest one. It's not "rare" per se, but held more value to Forte as the stakes were going up tiers to his most revered hip hop founding father.
