Pioneering hip-hop group Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five broke up in the mid-1980s because of disputes between members over billing on songs and disputes with the group’s label, Sugar Hill Records, about contracts and unpaid royalties. Some members reunited in later years, but these reunions were short-lived. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, becoming the first hip-hop act to receive this honor.
