Flash upset at rap label

Grandmaster Flash nearly threatened to cancel an Australian tour after an Aussie music website previewing the gigs called him "Grandmaster Rapper". Not too keen at being labeled a rapper, Flash emailed Undercover exclaiming: "The article looks fine but this can cause me to totally CANCEL this tour ... be CLEAR Grandmaster Flash is NOT a Rapper. I'm a DJ always was always will be. To the journalist who put this together you are causing mass confusion ...I repeat I am NOT a rapper would you please RETRACT and Correct". While admitting to referring to Flash as a rap performer the website points out that in Australia the specific distinctions between types of hip hop music are not well known, and that the reference to rap appeared in a very positive piece. But they have apologized and hope the legendary hip hop DJ (?) was exaggerating and will still grace the Aussie gig circuit.
