GRANDMASTER FLASH, MELLE MEL & THE FURIOUS FIVE Step Off/Pump Me Up 12 NEW VIN - 7.99. Scorpio and Cowboy remained from the old group. Cowboy gets the best line with his "Gonna put you on the racks like a pair of slacks/With another wack rapper tied to your back."

At the beginning of the song, Melle Mel says his famous, "Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, let me rock you Chaka Khan." It was an attempt to capitalize on his then-recent hit cameo on the single "I Feel for You." Khan was nowhere near the studio when this was recorded. The fact wasn't always due to perfection, however. Although this did have a segment of the past record, "Step Off" was one of those songs that arrested a listener's attention with its fresh sound. This uses the break from the O'Jays' "For the Love of Money." But rather than using a direct sample from the original record, "Step Off" employs a new synth bass line replicating Anthony Jackson's classic riff.
