Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang is the fifth album released by Grandmaster Flash. It was released in 1987 on Elektra records. The cassette version was titled Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang...And More and the CD version was titled Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang...And Even More – each containing bonus tracks that were not on the original vinyl.
European pressings of the album misprinted the title of the track "All Wrapped Up" as "All Rapped Up".
It was reissued in the US on CD in 2005 by Collectors' Choice Music. This release reverted to the original vinyl track listing and omitted any additional tracks. The booklet also removed the printed credits and lyrics and replaced them with a new essay by Peter Relic. It also repeated the artwork mistake made to the track listing that initially appeared on the European pressings of the original LP and made an additional one (*).

(*) The rear of the 2005 CD reissue again lists "All Wrapped Up" as "All Rapped Up" and additionally "Bus Dis (Wooo)" as "Bus Dis (Wood)."
(**) The original 1987 CD Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang...And Even More lists the track as We Will Rob You and the writer credits Brian May (from the sampled Queen track). The 2005 reissue incorrectly lists the track as We Will Rock You and the writer credit as J. Saddler [sic] (Grandmaster Flash) just like the original vinyl release. Both tracks are identical.
All arrangements by J. Sadler, L. Smith, G. Vaughn, N.Glover Jr, G. Williams and K. Dukes

A sting is a short drum sequence played by a drummer to punctuate a joke, especially an obvious one. A sting is often used as accompaniment during cabaret- and circus-style shows. Sometimes the sound of the sting is written ba dum tsh, ba-dum cha, ba-dum ching, ba dum tiss and occasionally ba dum tis. In British English, boom boom is used, for example in "Ha ha ha! Boom! Boom!", the catchphrase of the children's television character, Basil Brush. When a full orchestra flourish is to be indicated as a sting, it sometimes is written or spoken as, ta da! or ta da— as an interjection. In the context of percussion, rimshot normally refers to a single stroke of the stick in which the rim and head of a drum are both struck simultaneously by the same stick, creating an accent. A rimshot in this context is only a component of the sting, and does not appear at all in some stings. Common stings may feature a short roll followed by a crash or splash cymbal and kick drum, a flam, or a rimshot. The notation shown here is an advanced example that uses a tom then kick, followed by a pause to put the final stroke offbeat, and a final stroke using both the snare and kick drums to support a one-handed cymbal choke, meaning all three are hit at once.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
